As a special stand-alone week, we hear from Dr. Jerry Root on personal evangelism. All of us have a story in faith and have a responsibility to share it because 'this stuff matters and it matters forever.'

Turning around a ‘trap-question’ from the Pharisees, Jesus teaches his people about the most intimate of relationships from God’s point of view. In fact, Jesus continues using all kinds of object lessons to show his people kingdom values and that everything is far richer by his hand than our own!

Infighting can be so easy to do because these people are closest to us (and have the tendency to cause friction). But Jesus continues to lead his disciples - then and now - in a way that addresses what we should really be opposing - SIN. Take your own sin seriously and continue to lean into Kingdom connection with one another.

Amidst the disciples' struggle to position themselves as the greatest of Jesus followers, Jesus continues to retrain their minds and hearts based on Kingdom principles. One cannot be great in the Kingdom without lifting others up ahead of themselves (and no one did this more than Jesus himself).

Student Weekend is a weekend when we get to celebrate students. We get to have a sneak peek into Timberline Student Ministries and see how God is moving in the lives of students. We are pumped to be together.

God meets us in the middle of our struggles and needs. He invites us beyond just met-needs into surpassing power and love!

Does God talk to you? Is He even real? How involved is God in our lives? We will be discussing these things this weekend at Timberline. Hope to see you there.

Facing the pivotal question of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus now intends on taking all those who would follow him much deeper into an understanding of his purpose and call on their lives. Each of us must find our own answer to The Mark Question.

In a heightened time of developing understanding within his disciples, Jesus heals a blind man in two stages. Could this be an enacted parable to instill in the disciples – and us – that seeing things clearly is a process that is wholly dependent upon him?

In a shocking interaction, it seems that Jesus is being quite rude (if not even racist) to a woman. Pastor Brent helps us see that in this very incident Jesus is in fact breaking the back of such thinking and initiating radical inclusion - by which ALL PEOPLE are now included and welcomed into the family of God!
