In Mark 13:1-8, the disciples talk about the magnificent buildings, and when Jesus tells them the buildings will be torn down, all they can think of is "When?" There's a difference in perspective between them and Jesus, between us and God.

The death of Lazarus is the topic today (John11:22-34). Pastor Nathan Willowby takes us through how the passage about Lazarus takes pains to show us the reality of death, and the very real victory over it.

"There are some scriptural passages that is you read in church, you 'd better be preaching on them." Relationships have always been a tricky thing. Pastor Nathan Willowby serves up the tenth chapter of Mark, in context, as he talks about Jesus' attitude on relationships.

There is a frame of reference implicit in everything. You may be in quite good condition for a normal person of your age, but if the frame of reference is shifted to professional athletes, you may seem overweight and out of shape. Pastor Nathan Willowby leads us through the fifth chapter of James, where everything is framed by faith; all the reactions are based first in faith.

Guest Speaker Mark Mallwitz takes Matthew 9:35-8 as a text to show us how important it is to God that we go, and tell.

Who is Jesus? He's been looked at in many different ways through the years. In Mark 8, Jesus asks, "Who do you say I am?" Pastor Nathan Willowby ask us if we see Him for who He is, and do we follow Him consistently?

In James 2 we read the Apostle saying "You show me your faith without work; I'll show you my faith by my works." What we believe should influence what we do; if it doesn't, the question arises, "Do we actually believe it?" Pastor Nathan Willowby explores how and why our faith should both shape our works, and be evident in them.

In Mark 7 Jesus states that it is not what goes into a person that defiles, but rather what comes out. Pastor Nathan Willowby follows that line from Jesus into what purity is.

Solomon had a lot on his plate for such a young man. His request of God can serve to light our way in seeking help with our own plates.
