What kind of friendships are shaping your walk with Jesus? This week, Brian Barr explored Paul’s friendships with Timothy and Epaphroditus, emphasizing the importance of Gospel-centered friendships. The church isn’t just a family in theory; it should be a family in practice too! So how can we practically live out friendship with each other? It’s helpful to consider our friendships within four key spheres: public, social, personal, and intimate/transparent. Each of these areas is essential for spiritual growth and discipleship. Jesus modeled this by forming deep, impactful relationships with His disciples across various contexts. By investing in friendships within these four areas, we can fully experience the richness of community, support, and the necessary challenges for growing in faith. This balanced approach helps us stay rooted in our faith and connected to the body of Christ.

If we are to grow as Christians, it’s because we are engaging in a community where we are truly known, loved, and challenged. This week, Brian Barr continued our Connect series, emphasizing that the community of Jesus is essential for our growth as disciples. By looking at how Jesus engaged with His disciples, we learn that He 1) truly knew them, 2) loved them through deep relationships, and 3) created an environment of challenge that brought about change in their lives. Following this pattern, with Jesus at the center of our community, provides the context for true transformation in our lives.

What is the importance of the church? In a time when society often views the church as ineffective and irrelevant, how should we respond as followers of Jesus? This week, Brian Barr kicked off a new sermon series focusing on the third “C” in OneLife’s discipleship framework–connecting together as the body of Christ. The church is God’s Plan A to reach the world with the good news of Jesus!  When we follow Jesus, we give up our individualism, submitting to Jesus as our ultimate authority and commiting to one another as the family of God. Following Jesus without being committed to a local church is simply not an option. Jesus is actively working in the world today through his church, which is His body. When the church functions and operates as Jesus intended, it is beautiful, and it is the hope of the world!

As life's pressures and complexities mount, how should we respond as followers of Jesus? Chris Nagel guides us through Jesus’ response to the growing demands on His life—He retreats to a mountain and names His Apostles. Just as Jesus called the twelve Apostles, He calls us as His followers today! We are brought into a new identity, a new relationship with God, and a new mission of living sent to preach the Good News of Jesus to those around us. When we are caught in overwhelming pressure, Jesus’ calling brings peace, purpose and direction to our lives.

What is the difference between Christianity and religion? And how do we know if we are engaging in Christian practices or religious practices? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series through the book of Mark by contrasting Jesus’ Gospel teachings with the Pharisees’ religious beliefs. Religion is a man-made system of rules designed to earn the approval and acceptance of God. The danger of being caught up in a religious system is that our hearts become hard and we miss the person and work of Jesus! We miss the beauty of God's grace which truly liberates us from our brokenness and sin! Christianity only works when we expose our brokenness and submit it to Jesus, rather than trying to prove our own worth to God. We want to be people who wholly submit ourselves to Jesus and reject all religiosity in our hearts.

How could we spoil the work of Jesus in the world? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series in Mark, looking at when Jesus calls Levi, a hated tax collector, and then attends a party at his house. Tax collectors in Jesus' day were considered traitors. They were local Jewish people recruited by Rome to collect heavy taxes from the people. In addition, tax collectors often collected more money than required and pocketed the difference. By calling Levi to follow Him, Jesus challenges all the ways our sinful hearts make us think we are better than others. When we think we are better than others, we spoil the work of Jesus in the world. The reality is that we are all sinners saved by grace alone. Jesus declares in this passage, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

What was different about Jesus that drew crowds of people to Him? This week, Jeremy Little continued our sermon series in Mark by looking at the story where Jesus heals a paralyzed man who was carried to Him by friends. This story is an incredible example of the kind of friends we need in our lives—people who will carry us to Jesus! These five friends were full of faith and pushed past every obstacle to get to Jesus. Jesus saw their faith and did something completely unexpected: He declared, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Beyond physical healing, Jesus addressed the core issue in our lives—our need for forgiveness from sins. To prove that He had the authority to forgive sins, Jesus told the man, “Rise, pick up your bed, and go home,” and the man was instantly healed! What was different about Jesus? He had authority that no one else has ever possessed: the authority to forgive sins, to heal, and to cast out demons.

How does Jesus respond to those who are broken and rejected? This week, Steve Barr continues our sermon series through the book of Mark by looking at the moment when Jesus healed a man with leprosy. Leprosy was a significant issue in Biblical times; it was a terrifying disease that resulted in complete isolation from the Jewish community. A man with leprosy comes to Jesus with faith and humility, begging for healing. Jesus does the unthinkable—He touches the man and heals him! Jesus breaks through social barriers, showing compassion for the outcast, the sick, and the broken. He is the only one with the power to restore broken people to wholeness. Jesus can restore us too. He invites us to experience the greatest miracle of all: to be born again and to enter into a relationship with Him that will change us forever.

What can Jesus accomplish in a 24-hour period? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series through the book of Mark, looking at when Jesus begins His public ministry. In one astonishing day, Jesus teaches with authority, casts out demons, heals the sick late into the night, and after all this, He wakes up early in the morning to commune with His Father in Heaven. Jesus didn’t waste time; He lived with purpose. He was on a mission to invade the dark kingdom of this world and establish His own kingdom. Jesus calls us to the same purpose. He calls us to repent—to turn our allegiance from this world to Him alone—and to participate in the same works that He did. Jesus is still at work in the world today. He works through His body, the church. We should not live aimlessly, wondering what our purpose is. Jesus has given us the greatest purpose of all.

Why doesn’t it work to try to follow Jesus on your own terms? This week, Jeremy Little continued our sermon series through the book of Mark, looking at when Jesus calls His first disciples. Jesus doesn’t call world leaders, great thinkers, or influential people; He calls ordinary workers—fishermen. He meets them in the mundane tasks of life and invites them to a whole new purpose: “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Jesus invites them (and us) to participate in the very work God is doing in the world—gathering people to salvation in Jesus Christ! It’s a breathtaking invitation, and the disciples respond by immediately leaving everything and following Him. They leave everything! This is radical obedience. We can’t follow Jesus on our own terms because that’s still going our own way. Jesus is daily calling us to follow Him—not just when we were saved. We can so easily get off track and go back to our old ways, but Jesus is joyfully inviting us to come back to wholehearted obedience to Him.
