The disciples admired the beauty of the Temple, but Jesus saw something entirely different—a system God had already left behind. In Mark 13:1, we learn that the Old Covenant structures were temporary shadows pointing to something far greater: Christ Himself as the true Temple, and His people as the dwelling place of God’s Spirit. This week, Pastor Korey walks us through the stunning reality that God is no longer found in man-made buildings but in the living Temple of His Church, where His glory now rests and His Kingdom advances.

Jesus exposes the difference between religious showmanship and genuine devotion. In Mark 12:38–44, He warns against leaders who seek honor while exploiting the vulnerable, and He highlights a widow whose small offering reveals both her faith and the corruption of the system around her. This week, Pastor Korey challenges us to recognize false spirituality, protect the vulnerable, and remember that God sees the heart—not the performance.

Jesus asks a question that turns everyone’s expectations upside down: Who is the Messiah really? In Mark 12:35–37, He shows that the Messiah is not just David’s son—but David’s Lord, the risen King who reigns with full authority now. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that Jesus is not a political figure or a distant teacher, but the divine King who sits at the Father’s right hand and calls for our worship and allegiance.

When asked which commandment matters most, Jesus gives an answer that reshapes all of life. In Mark 12:28–34, He shows that everything God desires flows from two loves—loving Him fully and loving others genuinely. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that the Kingdom isn’t about rules or rituals, but about a relationship that starts with devotion to God and overflows in compassion toward people.

The Sadducees came to test Jesus—but ended up revealing their own blindness to the truth. In Mark 12:18–27, Jesus confronts their unbelief and reveals that resurrection life isn’t just a continuation of this one, but a complete transformation. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that our God is not the God of the dead, but of the living—and because Christ rose, every grave that belongs to Him will one day be empty.

Jesus’ critics thought they could trap Him with a question about loyalty, but He exposed their hypocrisy with one sentence that still echoes today. In Mark 12:13–17, Jesus reminds us that while we have responsibilities in this world, our ultimate allegiance belongs to God alone. This week, Pastor Korey shows how true disciples honor authority without compromising worship—and how the image we bear determines the life we give.

Jesus tells a story that hits close to home for the religious leaders—and for us. In Mark 12:1–12, the Parable of the Tenants exposes the danger of rejecting God’s messengers and trying to claim what belongs to Him. This week, Pastor Korey shows how God’s mercy is relentless, His justice is certain, and His vineyard now belongs to those who love and serve His Son.

Faith that moves mountains isn’t about control—it’s about trust. In Mark 11:22–33, Jesus teaches that real faith aligns with God’s will, forgives freely, and stands firm under His authority even when everything familiar is shaking. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that sometimes God has to bring one mountain down to raise something greater that can never be shaken.

Jesus doesn’t just cleanse the temple—He calls out empty religion at its roots. In Mark 11:15–21, we see Him flip tables, quote the prophets, and pronounce judgment on a system that looked alive but was fruitless. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that God’s house is meant to be a house of prayer—and now, through Christ, we are His temple, called to live holy and bear real fruit.

Jesus isn’t just looking for leaves—He’s looking for fruit. In Mark 11:11–14, we see a fig tree that looked alive but was empty, a picture of Israel’s outward religion without true righteousness. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that real life in Christ comes from abiding in the Vine, not just looking spiritual on the outside, and calls us to examine what fruit God is growing in us today.
