Mark doesn't record very many of Jesus' parables, but the few he writes about teach us a ton about what it means to follow Jesus and about the person of Jesus himself.

What is faith and what does it do in our lives? Not only are we saved by grace, through faith, but faith draws us near to God, it takes away the sting of death, and faith follows the absurd. Don't miss this encouraging message!

As we look at Jesus' interactions with various people, we can learn a great deal about His private personality - who He was when He was outside of the public eye.

Since we have been given such great mercy and grace by our great High Priest, we should draw near to Jesus without fear. The best way to do that is by learning to do life together with fellow followers of Christ.

We can learn a lot about Jesus by looking at his public ministry, including his preaching ministry, his calling ministry, and his miraculous ministry.

The system of dealing with sin in the Old Testament required constant sacrifices to pay for the sins of the people. That system couldn't remove sin permanently, so it required sacrifices to be made over and over again. Jesus, however, paid ALL of the debt we owed for our sins.

The Gospel of Mark is unique among the four gospels. It's filled with action and immediacy. In fact, this new series of studies is called "The Immediate Jesus." One of the unique features of the Gospel of Mark is the way he uses the word "gospel." From the very beginning, John Mark makes it clear that the gospel is all about Jesus!

We all have things we've done in the past of which we are ashamed. Many of us carry a burden of guilt on our shoulders every single day. However, that's not what Jesus wants for us. He wants us to live our lives with a clear conscience. But how? How can we clear our consciences of things that we know we've done wrong? The author of Hebrews gives us the answer...and it's the best news ever!

Pastor Dave teaches about how the gifts of the Spirit flow in the day-to-day life of the believer.

Jesus ushered in a new covenant at the cross and through that covenant, we know that God will change our hearts, we will belong to Him, we will know Him, and He will be merciful toward our failures.
