We apologize for recent technical difficulties. Regular programming will be resuming!

It's humbling when someone much younger than ourselves seems to know more than we do. How many times, as someone half our age, known twice as much about our computer issue or about social media, or how to work the TV remote? Today, Pastor Ray points out Jesus said, We can learn about faith from a child. Mark 10:1

When cars get old, we trade them in. When clothes get old, we get rid of them. When buildings get old, we tear them down. We live in an impermanent society. So it's a challenge for us to wrap our minds around something lasting forever. Today, Pastor Ray points out eternity is a long time to be in the wrong place.

Mark 9:38-50

We all value humility. None of us likes a hearty bragger, and none of us sees ourselves that way. But C.S. Lewis said humility is not thinking less of yourself. It's thinking of yourself, laughs. Today, Pastor Ray continues our studies in Mark as we learn how to follow the humility of Christ.

Mark 9:38

We may be surprised to see those will be first in God's kingdom. They'll be people we've never heard of. They'll be people who serve quietly behind the scenes, never grabbed the spotlight, wanted no special recognition or accolades.

Mark 9:14

God likes the ends of ropes. It's where He finds the most willing disciples. It's when we get to the end of our rope that we're finally able to place our full faith and trust in God to bring us through.

Mark 9:14-37

Pastor Ray Bentley takes us to the top of a mountain to witness the transfiguration of Christ.

Mark 9:1

Before the dazzling special effects of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Before the surprising illusions of David Copperfield. Harry Houdini. There was a spectacle even more overwhelming because it wasn't magic or manipulation. It was the Messiah. Today we look at the Transfiguration.

Mark Chapter 9

We live in a culture that rewards those with initiative, the self-assured, those who don't let anything or anyone stand in their way to the victor go the spoils as the old saying goes. But today, Pastor Ray points out a higher pathway. It's a pathway that leads ultimately to the throne in heaven

Mark 8:31

After the police officer has pulled you over, you can argue with him all you want about how unfair the speed limit is, how you don't like it, and how no one knows better than you how safe of a driver you are. If you're speeding, you may get a ticket. Today, insight from Pastor Ray on the inescapable authority of God's Word.

Mark 8:31

What humans know fills libraries. What we don't know is how much we don't know. And when we consider the omniscience of God and all that takes place in the eternal realm, which we can't see, we can begin to realize how limited our understanding really is.

Mark 8:22
