In this year’s Advent series, we’re guiding our community back to the heart of the first Christmas. Jesus being born in a manger carries far more weight than we often realize. A manger was a place for animals to drink water, and that small detail in the Nativity story deepens the significance of Jesus’ conversation with the woman at the well, where He reveals Himself as the ‘Living Water.’

Over these two weeks, we’re inviting our community to reimagine what it means to live as missionaries right here in our own city. What does it look like for us to ‘dig wells’—to create spaces and opportunities for people around us to access this Living Water?

To be practitioners of our faith in Jesus, we must first know and grasp the Life and Teachings of Jesus, which is why we'll be slowly unpacking the Gospel of Mark as a church. Apprenticing under Jesus is the process of Jesus' character being formed in us over time, and it all begins with knowing the incarnate Son of God. 

In this sermon, Pastor Jeremiah unpacks the parable of "The Mustard Seed" in Mark 4:30-34.

What does it mean for a Christ-follower to bear “seeded fruit” versus “seedless fruit”?

It’s possible to live what feels like a “Christian life” and even believe you’re “producing fruit”—but the hard truth is that many self-identifying Christians don’t put intentional effort into their apprenticeship to Jesus beyond attending a Sunday gathering.

Do you rise early to seek the Lord? Do you engage Scripture for yourself instead of only relying on Sunday sermons? Do you take initiative to build relationships with those far from Christ, while also cultivating friendships that draw you closer to Him?

And what does it really mean to “make disciples who make disciples who make disciples”? It’s a call to view apprenticeship to Jesus with a generational lens.

Our prayer for these two teachings is that, as a church, we would be stirred to actively take ownership of our faith and live it out with intention.
