How does Jesus heal us from rejection? By taking it onto Himself so it can no longer define us. From His hometown to His closest followers, Jesus knew what it was to be rejected. In the moment with Jairus and the bleeding woman, He steps toward the outcast, takes her uncleanness onto Himself, and gives her His wholeness. It’s a preview of the cross—where He bore the ultimate rejection from God so that we could be fully accepted by God. He was cast out so we could be brought in. He was denied so we could be called “daughter” and “son.” Through His death and resurrection, He gives us a new identity that can’t be lost, even when human rejection comes again. Because of Jesus, we don’t have to live under the weight of being left out or looked down on—we can reject rejection, resting secure in the unshakable acceptance of our Father.

When Jesus comes with authority, does your heart welcome Him or push back? Jesus tells a parable about a vineyard, unfaithful tenants, and a rejected son—a clear rebuke of the religious leaders who continually resisted God’s messengers. Drawing from Isaiah’s vineyard prophecy, Jesus reveals God’s long-suffering patience toward His people despite their repeated rejection. But when the Son arrives, they don’t just ignore Him—they scheme to remove Him and take control. This isn’t just about ancient Israel; it’s a window into every human heart that resists God’s authority. We want to be in charge. But to come to Jesus is to surrender—to receive Him not only as Savior, but as King. God holds leaders accountable, yes—but He also calls each of us to live with humility, faithfulness, and a willingness to let go of control. The rejected Son has become the Cornerstone—and He alone is worthy to lead our lives.

Jesus is King—and He’s not just building a new way forward, He’s dismantling what’s broken. As He passes the fig tree and speaks of moving mountains, He’s not offering a blank check for our desires; He’s declaring judgment on a religious system that had lost its way. This passage has often been misunderstood, fueling teachings that twist faith into a formula for getting what we want. But Jesus wasn’t pointing to name-it-and-claim-it faith—He was revealing the kind of faith that trusts God’s will, stands on His Word, and rests in His grace. He’s calling His followers into a new kind of prayer life: rooted in humility, sustained by grace, and marked by forgiveness. True faith doesn’t manipulate God—it submits to Him. As we align our hearts with His, we become people who pray boldly, trust deeply, and interpret Scripture with care, anchoring ourselves in His character and His kingdom.

Sometimes the Jesus we want isn’t the Jesus we get. As Jesus begins His journey to the cross, He reveals His true identity—and it demands a response. The crowds shout “Hosanna,” hoping for the kind of king they expected. But Jesus came not just to save, but to rule. His Lordship means dethroning ourselves and surrendering fully to Him. From the fig tree that appeared alive but bore no fruit, to the temple He cleared with righteous authority, Jesus exposes spiritual hypocrisy and calls us to full submission. He is King, Judge, and Lord of all—and when we welcome Him in, He comes with authority, ready to purify our hearts and realign our lives with His mission and His ways. That purification may bring disruption, but it’s a holy disruption—a reordering of our lives under His rule. It challenges us to ask: does Jesus have access to every area of our lives—our time, our resources, our giftings—or are we still holding the reins?

When was the last time you cried out to Jesus with everything you had? Bartimaeus was a blind beggar—overlooked, desperate, and clinging to hope. Day after day, he sat by the road, listening to stories about a man named Jesus—stories of healing, of power, of mercy. And then one day, Jesus passed by. In that moment, Bartimaeus didn’t hold back. He cried out with everything he had: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! Even when others tried to silence him, he refused to stay quiet. And Jesus stopped. He saw him, called him close, and healed him. But the story didn’t end there—Bartimaeus didn’t just receive his sight. He chose to follow Jesus from that day forward. Why do we seek God’s power in our lives? Is it just to feel better, fix a problem, or move on? Or is it so we can truly follow Him? Jesus is still opening blind eyes—helping us see Him as the treasure we’ve been longing for all along.

Jesus invites us to see that following Him means following Him to the cross. He doesn’t just call us to believe in what He did—He wants us to be shaped by it. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. That means we have to first receive the reality that He gave His life to rescue us from sin and from the empty, self-focused ways we used to live. But it doesn’t stop there—ransomed people live differently. We don’t cling to status or success. We don’t demand to be served. We follow the example of Jesus and live to serve others. In a world that pushes ambition and self-fulfillment, Jesus calls us to something better: a life of purpose, freedom, and love, shaped by the cross.

What’s holding you back from fully following Jesus? This week, we looked at the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10—a man who had everything, but walked away sad when Jesus asked for the one thing he wouldn’t surrender. Jesus, from His heart of genuine love towards us, exposes the things that we cling to (idols and self-reliance), so that we can cling to Him instead! Eternal life is a gift to be received, not a status to be earned. To receive it, we must surrender all of ourselves to Jesus. Jesus invites all of us to experience true life with Him that is far better than anything we try to hold onto in this world.

How do we know if we are true disciples of Jesus? How do we know if we have truly repented and believed in the gospel? This week, Chris Nagel brought us back to our Mark series, looking at chapter 9 where Jesus teaches about the heart of a true disciple. True disciples seek true greatness in God’s eyes, not the appearance of greatness. True disciples are much more concerned about their own allegiance to Jesus than about policing everyone else’s. And true disciples are not casual about sin, but fight sin ruthlessly in their lives. Jesus’ words and warnings in this passage help us see the true state of our own hearts so that we can repent and realign our lives with Him.

Good fathers leave more than memories—they leave a legacy. Fatherhood is about more than today; it’s about shaping generations. When dads take Jesus seriously, their children learn to do the same. This is a challenge to reflect God’s heart—to be strong and loving, to walk in community, and to lead with grace that’s rooted in security, not fear. Our kids don’t need perfection—they need fathers who are being transformed by the Father.
