Facing rejection, relational tension, is all too familiar to Jesus (especially in his hometown, and even his own family). But he shows us how to navigate those challenges well and sends us out (while all the while never leaving us)!
In two different desperate situations, Jesus intimately meets people's needs. In episodes like these we can see the radical heart that Jesus demonstrates! Be encouraged in the ways in which he meets your needs and those around you, and also consider ways in which we can similarly extend his heart and works.
Pastor Brent guides us through an important study on the nature and origins of hostile spiritual forces. Because Jesus and his apostles clearly faced them, we need to see them the way that they did and from there glean implications for our lives and the world around us.
This week we encounter the question of the whole Gospel of Mark, “Who then is this?” Even after all the encounters and experiences with Jesus, this question still leaves people at a pivotal point with just who Jesus really is and what our answer means for us.
Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God far more than any other topic. But for most of us this is a foreign or even uncomfortable concept. Where is it? What does it look like? Why is it not more impressive? This week we strive to allow the Kingdom (or the reign) of God to more fully come over and through our lives.
God has chosen to reveal the vast mysteries of his self-revelation and will to us, not in one big dump, but gracefully measured and layered. The beauty of this is that we are always learning, always exploring, and always coming back to him for more!
This Easter Sunday we ask that the lost, the uncommitted, would be drawn to Jesus and drawn together as the church! Each of us must answer a key question: What is everyone so happy about? That answer reveals to us God’s pursuit of us and his power in us.
There is a tremendous amount of fruit spread all across our church family! God is moving in many diverse, high-yielding ways. Yet the temptation of our flesh and the world around us will be to distract us. How can we strive to ensure the planting of the Lord takes root and flourishes in us and through us?
In this weekend's passage we encounter continued (and even surprising) pushback against Jesus. How can His people ensure that we are unreservedly following God’s will, and not slip into wayward and even evil resistance?
