Pastor Jason Mayhall leads Redemption Bible Church in the ongoing series entitled "The Crown and the Cross." In this passage, we see that following Jesus, his life, his actions, his mission IS the discipleship process. It's the program that we all need to be enrolled if we are not. Through Jesus' interaction with children, we learn the true nature of discipleship, and what can we learn about it through our families.

This week, Chris Combs, a missionary with Coalition of Care/Safe Families shares with Redemption Bible Church. Chris speaks on Jesus, injustice, and vulnerable children around the world. What is close to your heart? What is God speaking to you? Injustice exists in our own community, so what does Jesus teach us about injustice in our midst? What is He speaking to us?

Redemption's own Family Ministry Director Cody Hensley teaches at Redemption Bible Church, continuing the journey through the gospel of Mark in the series "The Crown and the Cross." Christianity is based on three things: Who this Jesus is; What He came to do; and What He expects of us in response. Christianity is not the process of Christ removing all hardship from your life, it is about the person that will walk through them with you. Do you live like you actually believe that you have come to know the Christ?

David Northup, an elder at Redemption Bible Church continues the sermon series entitled "The Crown and the Cross," a study of the gospel of Mark. The transfiguration of Jesus Christ was a unique display of His divine character and a glimpse of the glory of God. While the nature of Jesus' form while here on the earth is worth understanding, it pales in comparison to the ramification that comes from the claim made in this passage. Three men were chosen by Jesus, to be witnesses, and the truth of Jesus' divinity was made plain to them to help create a "bridge" from their old life to this new life of being an apostle.

Redemption Bible Church is led this morning by Redemption's own Family Ministry Director, Cody Hensley. Cody continues the teaching of the gospel of Mark in the series "The Crown and the Cross." God who cares for all people; no matter who you are or what you have done - Jesus cares. When we forget God's promises, we will be overwhelmed by today's circumstances. Spiritual amnesia causes spiritual blindness, and the only hope for our amnesia is for us to turn to Jesus and say, "Jesus we can do nothing. What then will You do? Jesus, you are the only hope," only then is our hearts ready for him to show up. Only Jesus has the power to overcome our spiritual blindness.

This week, Will Burrows visits Redemption Bible Church to continue the sermon series entitled "The Crown and the Cross," a journey through the gospel of Mark. Anyone can come to Jesus and find mercy - anyone. We receive grace and mercy and salvation when we come to Jesus in faith. It is Jesus, the object of our faith, that saves; not the intensity or strength of our faith. We exercise faith and He does the unimaginable!

This week, Corrie Guckenberger, a missionary with Back2Back Ministries shares her testimony from years on the mission field. Using Isaiah 43:1b-3a and verses from the book of Hosea, Corrie talks about lessons she has learned about "Fallow Ground" in her own life; those places of life in which we focus on our attitudes and actions, and not on God's truth. If we view our lives like a tree where our attitudes and actions are the branches and the fruit, growing up out of the trunk of our self image, the part that is not shown are the roots of what is feeding into that self image. If we want true change to happen we need to address the roots, not the actions themselves, and enrich uncultivated ground with God's truth.

Pastor Jason Mayhall leads Redemption Bible Church in the continuation of the sermon series entitled "The Crown and the Cross." Pastor Jason describes how all of us should see sin as something that is the root of all of our acts against God. Sin is embedded in all of us, and can never be contained forever. It is through sin that we are separated from God. Our hearts are prone to sin, and no matter how hard we try there are no external solutions to overcoming it. We cannot change our soul on our own, but Jesus can give us this. He works on us from the inside out, seeking a heart that is full of love and joy, and through our embrace of Jesus can He remove the stain of our sin.
