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.

Who is God? What is He like? This week Chris Nagel continued our sermon series through the gospel of Mark, and we looked at Jesus’ baptism and His temptation by Satan. Many people want a relationship with Jesus, but they want it on their own terms. They want Jesus to orbit them and their life. But in this short passage we get a stunning revelation of who Jesus is. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the second person of the trinity. Jesus has a reality and a gravity all to His own, and He is pulling us into His orbit. For all eternity God has existed as three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - who all relate to each other in self-giving, others glorifying love. Jesus invites us into this dance, this orbit of the trinity - to stop making everything orbit around us, and to experience the true meaning of life as we orbit the triune God.

What is the gospel? This week Brian Barr kicked off a new sermon series through the book of Mark in the Bible. Mark is an eyewitness account of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. It was written specifically to Christians who were suffering in Rome under the persecution of Nero. Mark begins by announcing the purpose of his book - to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The gospel is the good news about Jesus - that the Son of God Himself has come in the flesh to rescue His people. The whole book challenges the reader to make a decision about who you think Jesus is. Is He a good moral teacher? Is He a prophet? Is He an example of how we should live? Or will you, the reader, recognize that He really is the divine Son of God who can control the wind and waves, who can forgive sins, and who suffered and died to rescue His people?

What is baptism? This week, Brian Barr explained the significance of the practice of baptism, as we celebrated baptizing 21 people over the weekend! In the great commission, Jesus commands that we make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The first step of becoming a disciple of Jesus is baptism. Many people think they need to wait until they "get good at being a Christian" before being baptized, but that misses the meaning of this practice. Baptism is an acknowledgment of our sinful state before God. It shows our need for the Savior He has provided - Jesus Christ. It is a step of obedience that visibly portrays the invisible reality that we have been rescued from sin and death by Jesus alone.

What does it look like to conform into the image of Christ? This week, Brian Barr closed out our Conform series by looking at the primary marker of a life transformed by Jesus - our love for others. Our culture has defined love as self-centered and self-gratifying. But the love of God is sacrificial and living for the benefit of others. God’s love is powerful! The instruction for followers of Jesus, who have experienced first-hand the love of the Father, is to take this sacrificial, servant hearted love to the people around us. It’s in fact, the primary way God intends the Gospel to spread through the world! God calls us to a mission that is worth everything we are and everything we have! And it will only be accomplished through wholehearted, followers of Jesus who have been conformed into the image of Christ and known for their love for others.

What is the most radical thing that Jesus instructed His followers to do? “Love your enemies.” This week we had the privilege of having Bob Roberts with us from Northwood Church in Dallas, Texas. In a world where people are divided over differing beliefs, ethnicities, and political parties, whole hearted followers of Jesus are commanded to love everyone - even their enemies. This is so countercultural. The Gospel changes the way we see people because we have experienced the love of God when we were not worthy of His love. The only way we are able to love people is when we are abiding with the Father. We are called to embrace those around us with the love of God. It’s not enough to just say that you love them - loving someone means that you move towards them with compassion to seek their benefit. Love isn’t based on the worthiness of the person, but on the generosity of the one who loves. When we “consider others more significant than ourselves”, we humble ourselves and allow God to fill us with His love for those around us.
