The Destruction of the Temple

This week, we will be studying Mark 13, where Jesus is asked about future events by his disciples. As we will see, Jesus' answer gives us assurance of His return and motivates us to be faithful in the present. We hope to see you Sunday!

The Heart of the Matter

This week we finally come to the end of Mark 12 and the back and forth we see between the religious leaders of the day and Jesus. Jesus casts judgment on the Scribes of his day and in doing so shows us what true service to the Messiah looks like. We only have the ability to see the outside, but God truly sees our hearts.

Jesus vs The Sadducees & Scribes

We are continuing our study in the Gospel of Mark in chapter 12:18-34. Just like we saw last week, Jesus will be presented with more questions from the religious leaders of Israel who have come desiring to trap Him. This week we will see how true life and hope can only be found by believing in Jesus. We hope to see you Sunday!

Jesus & The Pharisees

Hello New King Church, we are so excited to continue our study in Mark this week through chapter 12:13-17. Here Jesus addresses the Pharisees' questions about paying taxes and being faithful to God. These verses will challenge us to consider where our true allegiances lie and how we can honor God no matter where we live. We hope you will join us Sunday!

The Parable of the Vineyard

The Parable of the Vineyard (or of the Tenants) that Jesus tells is in response to the religious leaders questioning His authority in the previous chapter.  The parable is violent and ends in death and destruction. Why did I volunteer to preach this section?  How am I going to relate it to 2025?  Come this week and hear about three main themes: Temple, Authority, and Commitment and see how they relate to your life!

The Fig Tree & the Temple

Good afternoon New King Church family. We are continuing on in our study of Mark in a familiar passage to many where Jesus curses a fig tree and cleanses the temple. This Sunday we will study why it is Jesus does this and how to apply these verses to our life today. We hope to see you there!

The King has Arrived

Finally, we are back in the Gospel of Mark after spending the holiday season discussing our values and advent. This week Jesus has arrived in Jerusalem in a passage that has often been called “The Triumphal Entry”. However, as we will see, in Mark’s account the surprising details he shares will both encourage and challenge us as we learn what it means to follow Jesus. We can’t wait to see you Sunday!

Mark and the Incarnation

It's been weeks since we last preached from the Book of Mark. Next week we will pick back up in chapter 11. In order to refocus our minds and prepare our hearts to continue our series "Who is Jesus?" we will spend this week recapping and looking forward to the events in Mark. We will also reflect on the incarnation of Jesus and how we should celebrate Emmanuel all year long.

Jesus the Light of Joy

The advent of Jesus was the joyful realization of the long-awaited Messiah, yet Christ's arrival, like our lives, was also marked by grief and hostility. 
This week we will see that, even through the hardships of life, we can experience complete joy through Jesus Christ.  1 John 1:1-4

Jesus the Light of Peace

Peace, it's something we all long and search for but it seems so hard to get. In our world we see the absence of peace in wars around the globe, recent political elections, chaos from it all, our own anxieties and fears, and broken relationships in our lives. Where can we find peace in the midst of no peace? In this week's sermon we will look to the scriptures and then see Jesus Christ the one who makes peace for those who are in turmoil.
