Teaching On The Way Pt. 2

This week we will continue studying Jesus' teaching to his disciples on the way to Jerusalem from Mark 10:1-16. Here Jesus will use the examples of marriage and children to reveal what should be at the heart of every true disciple. In this passage, we will also see how we can enter God’s kingdom and address the hardness in our heart that separates us from God.

Mountain High, Valley Low

Jesus and three of the disciples have just had an amazing experience on a mountain. Now they come down to the bottom of the mountain and are faced with the sad reality of Satan at war with humanity, faithlessness of not only a father, but also Jesus's disciples.

We will see that even though our faith can often be imperfect, our perfect Lord and Savior is compassionate to help us in our weakness. Not only that, but we are reminded that prayer builds up our faith.

God's Glory Revealed

As Jesus disciples struggle with his teaching in the previous chapter, Jesus invites Peter, James, and John to witness the revealing of his glory and the confirmation of his deity which will change their lives forever. Join us this Sunday as we examine Christ’s transfiguration and see that, Jesus wants us to recognize his deity and he wants to know us personally.

Get Your Mind Right

In this passage, Jesus asks a very important question about His identity and Peter gets the right answer, but has the wrong understanding.  Jesus corrects him in the most dramatic way- "Get behind me Satan!" and goes on to tell Peter he has wrong thinking.  How is our thinking clouded by our place in history and the events going on around us?  How do we get our mind right about Jesus and what it means to serve Him?  Come this Sunday and see what Jesus has to say about this.

What Do You See?

This Sunday we will read through Mark 8:10-26. Here we will see Jesus interact again with the Pharisees and the Disciples. Mark will use this interaction to help his readers, and us, question what their understanding is of Jesus and what keeps people from truly seeing Jesus. We look at these themes and how they apply to us on Sunday. We hope to see you there!

Jesus and the Gentiles

This week we will be studying Mark 7:24-8:9 where we will see Jesus going into the areas outside of Israel and interacting with several surprising people. Jesus will perform two healings and even miraculously feed four-thousand people all of whom you would think are outsiders. But Jesus treats them like they are all a part of God's family.

Jesus, Tradition, and the Human Heart

This week we will study Mark 7:1-23 where Jesus confronts religious leaders in Israel about their rejection of God's word through their man made traditions. We will see that only Jesus can cleanse the human heart and not our actions or religious practices. 

Relearning the Lesson of the Loaves

In this next story, the disciples are in a boat, struggling against the wind and the waves.  Jesus sees them and goes to them, walking across the water.  Mark uses this intriguing phrase "He meant to pass them by."   And Mark tells us that the disciples didn't understand about the loaves.  What is Jesus doing out there on the water?  What is He trying to teach them, for a second time? 

Jesus Feeds the 5,000

This Sunday, we are studying Jesus feeding the 5,000 from Mark 6:30-44. Here we will see Jesus compassion and miraculous power on display to show us rest and satisfaction can only come from Jesus.

From Fear to Faith

Jesus has shown us that he is more powerful than nature. He has shown us that he is more powerful than the demons. In this week's passage will he prove to be more powerful than sickness and even death? In Mark 5:21-43 we meet two people, both fearful of their circumstances, who come to ask Jesus those very questions. And what is his response? Only believe!
