Regeneration

In Mark 5, Jesus and His disciples are accosted by a man that is full of demons and living among the tombs because he is a danger to himself and others. Instead of rejecting him in his broken state, Jesus sets him free and sends him on mission. Join us as we embrace the challenge of surrendering our own brokenness to Jesus so that we to might be set free to walk in the identity and authority God has given us.

Join us in Mark 4:35-41 as we realize with the disciples that no matter how much faith we think we have, there is always more available to us.

We set goals, make plans, and put in the work. But if we don't see instant results, we get discouraged. Jesus shows us another way in Mark 4:26-34. Join us as we learn to plant seeds and rest as we watch the Father make them grow.

God is trying to get our attention, and it's important we don't ignore Him. Yet, listening to Him can feel as difficult now as it was when the book of Mark was being written - maybe even more so! Join us in Mark 4:21-25 as we learn how to listen to God more closely.

For your reference, here are the three questions we can ask every day:

- Father, what are we doing today?

- What do I need to be reminded of?

- Who do I need to pay attention to?

Jesus taught using parables for many reasons, and this first parable in Mark 4:1-20 explains why. Join us as we practice listening and letting His word change us.

In Mark 3:20-33, we read that Jesus' family thinks He's nuts and the religious leaders are accusing Him of serving Satan. Yet, Jesus continues to go against the grain - teaching about grace and re-defining 'family'.

Join us as we continue to encounter Jesus & follow Him more closely.

In Mark 3:6-19 Jesus is facing mounting pressure both from those that want to follow Him, and those that want him dead. Yet, He doesn't get distracted from His purpose - He is setting everything in the world right by building a spiritual family. This family's purpose is to help one another grow closer to the Father, care for one another, and to grow exponentially. This is the same spiritual family WE are invited to be part of today.

Jesus prioritizes compassion over custom and the religious leaders tried to call Him out in Mark 2:23-28. Join us as we examine the roles of legalism and grace in our own lives based on His example.

We are often tempted to make sacrifices for the sake of sacrifice alone (or to avoid making them at all). Join us in Mark 2:18-22 as we examine Jesus' response to the challenge that He and His followers weren't following the religious customs closely enough.

When Jesus extends grace to us we are in awe and grateful. But what about when He extends grace to those we don't agree with? Those that have betrayed us? Those that aren't worthy?

Join us in Mark 2:13-17 as we embrace the challenge of following Jesus' example.
