We don’t like to make commitments today. We have all heard these offers - no contracts, cancel at any time, free trial, free delivery, free returns, and most importantly, no commitment necessary. In this culture, how are we to hear Jesus’ incredibly high call to commitment, that we should “take up our crosses and follow him?” We will talk about that as we look at Mark chapter 8.

Steven Covey is credited with saying, “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” Is there one main thing Christians should be passionate about? If so, what is it and how do we do it?

Imagine a classroom full of preschoolers trying to physically protect Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. It's a comical image - perhaps the plot for a summer blockbuster. Similarly, some Christians feel the need to defend God and perhaps, that makes God laugh. This week in worship, expect to be challenged by a viable alternative to our felt need to defend God.

Feeling at the end of your rope? You're not alone. In Mark 5, two desperate people sought Jesus out, looking for relief. Jesus' response to them changed their lives. This week in worship, we welcome the hope of Jesus' response to them... and to us!

Sometimes things in our lives grow quickly out of control. This can be good or bad. It depends on what's planted. Jesus tells people that following him is like planting a mustard seed – a bush that takes over everything.

Busy lives don't make good soil for growing healthy spiritual well-being but, what does? Discover two powerful ways to enrich the soil of your soul this weekend as Pastor Neal teaches the second of two messages based on Mark 4: 2-9.

Released in 1995, the movie Outbreak was science fiction. Back then, the possibility that a global pandemic would actually become reality seemed unimaginable. Today's message touches on the fact that it's the unimaginable that actually gives us hope.

Everyone possesses four personal traits that can either hold them back or generate growth. This week, Pastor Neal explores these traits and encourages personal transformation!

People have been seeking to stay close to God, especially during difficult times, for all of human history. In the interactions between Jesus and some who challenged him, two popular methods of seeking God emerge. Both are wrong. In this week's message, we'll learn Jesus’ ideal for staying close to God.

Four months ago we discovered just how attached we are to things like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and workspaces. All of us are attached to something or maybe a lot of somethings. Attachments are natural things. We become attached to a certain way of living or a certain way of thinking or even certain ideologies. Our attachments can burrow deep inside us and have deep roots. Not all of our attachments will point us toward following Jesus and God’s Kingdom. How do we begin to loosen the hold that our attachments have on us so that we can be open to new growth? Join us this weekend as Pastor Cynthia delivers her farewell message at StoneBridge Community Church.
