The greatest words that Jesus ever heard. What were they, they are connected to the life of Jesus, only found in the book of Mark. We learn to be confident when we learn that Jesus, the Father, loves us. This is how Jesus remained pure in his life, to the enemy's twisting of His vocation. Jesus was the conquerer, because of his fully engaged agreement in the Fathers love.

Take Away: Spend time this week being present with God. Jesus did not withdrawal from the crowds to retreat but to recharge. Insufficiency is overwhelmed by the reality & presence of Jesus! Jesus is our sufficiency. Discipleship is learning to bring what you have to Jesus, He takes it, blesses it, breaks it & returns it to us to see it multiple.

In this message, Pastor Krist talks about how we can particularly be distracted by the things that don't matter in comparison to the things that do. We choose to be a part of things that don't equal listening, and waiting on Jesus.

Sin is confining. In reality, we’re too small to make room for Jesus. The good news is that Jesus has made room for us. The Kingdom of God offers wide open spaces. His kingdom is available, open, it’s here. The question is, will you prioritize your life around Jesus or yourself. This is about learning to be a Christian. If we don’t get this, we lose! And God will go to another generation to those who will answer the call. It’s about making the Kingdom of Jesus number one in our lives. Make a decision to rank your affection right. Are you the Christian who just knows somethings about Jesus? Or, do you really believe, and are different because of Jesus?

‘To repent’ is not simply a solitary event where we give up everything out of a sense of obligation to an ethical system. It’s important that we do not remove the apocalyptic or eschatological dimensions from repentance (meaning that our public world has been radically altered by the arrival of Jesus, which is to reject any attempt to privatize repentance as in “it’s just about Jesus and me and my heart”). In other words, we must think of our world in a completely different way. New creation is here. The King has arrived. A new power is in charge. The material world is under radical transformation. To repent is learning how to live in this new world (which has been transformed in an apocalyptic fashion), which means that flourishing in this new world will require a total devotion to the aims and overall lifestyle of Jesus!

Pastor Krist teaches on what the kingdom of God is according to the Gospel of Mark.

When we understand that our life is “closely bound up with Jesus” because he represents us as our King, when we can see that the Father not only said “I love you” to the Son, but he also says “I love you” to us, when we reorder our thinking around the symbolic world of Jesus and his people, we have all the resources we need to overcome the temptations of cheap success and self-doubt. Knowing that we share in Jesus’ victory over evil and knowing that we’re loved by the Father we “are equipped’ to handle the deserts, the wild animals, that come into our lives. Christianity is about working out the victory of Jesus everyday! Your life is bound up by Jesus. Remember, what is true of Jesus is true of you.

In this podcast we start our new series on the Gospel of Mark. Pastor Krist talks today on how, Jesus works within space and time. Mark introduces Jesus alongside the good news. Something so earth shattering, and startling. The Earth will never be the same. In the first few sentences, Mark leads us to the Evangelion, which in the world of antiquity was related to the announcing public events. Mark is basically excited, to introduce, THE GOSPEL!

Join us for a look back as Pastor Krist Wilde explores the narrative of the resurrection through the book of John.

The Christian Faith is believing in who Jesus is. Simultaneously, it's living, loving, speaking, and giving, in such a way that supports that belief.
