A conversation on the road takes a surprising turn and we realize the the long expected Messiah is not what we expected.

Mark concludes the first half of his book with a miracle that is also a parable about spiritual blindness. Mark has introduced Jesus as the Messiah, Savior and King and asks us the question, "Do you see clearly?"

Warnings are sometimes hard to listen to. Jesus offers a warning about ways of life that could distract us from the wonderful satisfying life that He wants for us.

Jesus is known for His unique interactions and this encounter He turns a powerful miracle into a personal meeting. The beauty is how Jesus knows exactly what this man needs and enters into the moment with him.

Mark tells a story of an unclean outsider who comes to Jesus and her interaction with Jesus displays faith and hope in the mercies of God in such a way that even Jesus is amazed!

Without wrestling with the question of what it looks like for us to become Redeemed Restorers, Easter Sunday becomes nothing more than a box that we check instead of a transformative experience that shapes our lives.

In this sermon Lead Pastor, Brian Agovino talks through Ezekiel 37 and the dry bones as we celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus!

We tend to think about God is an either/or mind set. He is either just or loving. He is either powerful or vulnerability. When Jesus has His triumphal entry He breaks our paradigm to show that He is both a powerful King and a Humble King at the same time, and He isn't one or the other. In fact we need Him to be both/and.

Jesus has His first intense encounter with the Pharisees in Mark 7. He confronts their traditions and rules and flips everything on its head by saying that it is the heart that matters more than then actions.

A royal grudge turns a birthday party bloody. We ask ourselves, what would happen if we let go of the things we cling to most tightly?
