THE KING OF GOD’S KINGDOM
Mark 1:14-20
We have a deep desire for a king to come and save us. The major stories in our culture go something like this: “Some day, a king will return to slay the dragon, free me from this tower, and bring me into his safe kingdom.” We all have a sense that this is an enchanted world with a king who will rule over a kingdom. Jesus is that true King that our hearts desire. Read more.
THE POWER OF JESUS
MARK 4:35-41
Life is full of good and lighthearted moments. Yet, the storms of life will come. When they do, can you say, “It is well with my soul”? How can you be calm in the middle of the storm? Read more.
THE ANTIOCH MODEL
ACTS 11:19-30
Acts 4:36-37 reads, “Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus, sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.” Read more.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER FOR PEOPLE’S LIVES?

Jesus is not after vague, positive affirmation, but a personal decision and confession. A confession that comes with an identification with him as Savior, and a submission to him as Lord. Read more.
THE WAY OF THE CROSS
Mark 8:31-38
We are to think differently, live differently, and expect differently because of the cross.
...BUT TO SERVE
Mark 10:35-45
Think about these questions: What does it mean to “live for you?” What does serving mean? Where are you serving?
THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
Mark 12:28-34
Hear, Love the Lord your God, Love your neighbor as yourself…
