Ears to Hear.

The Parables of Jesus are meant to provoke our thoughts. In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus asks the question: "Who am I and how will you respond to me?" As believers, we must toil the ground of our hearts to be receptive to the Word. Join us Sunday as we see how this parable teaches us to have ears to hear Jesus. Mark 4:1-20.

Jesus Binds the Strong Man

This passage has haunted people for hundreds of years because Jesus teaches about committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit- the unpardonable sin!  And when it's read that's what draws our attention.  If we're not careful, we'll miss two profound truths about who Jesus is:  He's the Stronger Man who binds the Strong Man and He offers an infinite willingness to forgive.

Chosen to Go

In Mark 3:13 Jesus withdraws and summons the twelve to appoint them as Apostles. Through these understated verses we see Jesus’s plan for the Kingdom: the sending of ordinary disciples to declare to the lost, “Repent and believe, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!” Join us Sunday as we examine these verses and see how the mission of God is undergirded by his presence. 

Jesus the Son of God

Mark 3:7-12. Mark at this point, provides a summary of Jesus' ministry and who He is using three recurring themes.  And of course, these themes recur not just in Mark, but all of scripture.  Come this week and see how these themes provide a clear identity of Jesus. 

Jesus Christ is Lord of the Sabbath

The Pharisees keep hounding Jesus and his disciples; this time with questions about the sabbath. Instead of answering their question directly, he gives them signs that he is the Messiah. Showing them what the sabbath was truly all about.

Jesus The Bridegroom

This passage begins with a question about fasting. In Jesus’ response, He tells us something vitally important about who He is, who we are, and what we should be doing.

Friend of Sinners

The scribes were appalled by Jesus. He ate with tax collectors and sinners. What was he thinking? Didn't he know these morally filthy people would make him unclean? They didn't see the reverse happening. When Jesus comes to us, he isn't made dirty, we're made clean.

Jesus, The Son of Man

Guest Preacher Tyler Twombly joins us this Sunday as we begin Mark chapter 2. Jesus heals the paralyzed man, and in the middle of this miracle, he makes a bold proclamation: "your sins are forgiven." Come to New King Sunday morning as we hear about both the  ability and authority that Christ has to forgive sins.

Complete Restoration

The parables of Jesus are not the only stories in the Gospel meant to teach us lessons. The miracles of Jesus do the same thing. In Mark 1, Jesus encounters a desperate leper seeking healing. From this encounter though, we learn our own plight, our own desperation, and the goodness of Jesus to restore us completely. 

Jesus the Liberator King

As Israel looked for their promised Messiah, they expected someone who would be much like their beloved king David. This week we will see the ways that Jesus both is like king David, and is not like king David. To be sure, this Jesus is setting up a kingdom. But it is becoming clear that his kingdom is not of this world. Join us this Sunday as we learn about Jesus, the Liberator King.
