This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Do You See Anything? (pt 19)

Gospel Of Mark | Do You See Anything? - Part 19 | Pastor Chris Heller

Mark 8:22-26

Join us this Sunday as we return to the gospel of Mark for Part 2 of our series, “This is Who He Is!” This second part of our journey through Mark will lead us to a blind man in Bethsaida, where Jesus will once again reveal another aspect of who He is.

If you are in a season of life where you’re struggling to see God in your situation, join us Sunday for some corrective eye surgery from the Word of God!

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Be Opened (pt 18)

Gospel of Mark | Be Opened - Part 18 | Pastor Chris Heller

Mark 7:31-37
 

Last week, we witnessed how the Syrophoenician woman’s simple request for crumbs led to the healing hand of Jesus upon her daughter. This week, we come to a healing miracle that is only recorded in Mark. We will witness Jesus pulling aside a mute and deaf man, touch him, sigh, and say the unthinkable . . . “BE OPENED!”

Do you know someone that has ‘turned a deaf ear’ to the things of God? Join us this Sunday as we discover why they may have done so, discuss how we can possibly help them hear, and learn how we can avoid the same mistake.

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Even The Crumbs (pt 17)

Gospel Of Mark | Even The Crumbs - Part 17 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Last week, we looked at Mark 7:1-23 and saw how Jesus responded to the hypocrisy of the Pharisees who were criticizing the disciples for violating the rules of the Sabbath. They “honored God with their lips, but their hearts were far from him.”

 

This week, we're going to pick up in verse 24, where we encounter Jesus still seeking to escape the ever-pressing crowds. We will follow him into a place of respite, only to be abruptly interrupted by a Syrophoenician woman desperately seeking help for her daughter.

Join us this Sunday as we learn the power of bold, vigilant, persistent prayer.

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | They Honor Me With Their Lips (pt 16)

Gospel Of Mark | Part 16 | Pastor Jon Adams

 

"They honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” Jesus famously quoted these words in one of his classic rebukes of the Pharisees. The Pharisees were hypocrites. Their entire approach to God was wrong. 
 
While we don’t encounter Pharisees today, the problem of hypocrisy lives on, not just in our world, but in the church as well. It seems like you can’t go a week without reading about a church leader who’s been exposed for something. It’s a problem in the church today. People still “honor God with their lips, but their hearts are far from him.”
 
But let’s be honest --  it’s not just a problem with church leaders. All of us who follow Christ are prone to hypocrisy. We all sometimes try to present a better version of ourselves than the real us. So how does Jesus encourage his followers to avoid the age-old trap of the Pharisees?
 
This week, we’ll look at Mark 7:1-23, and we’ll see Jesus respond to his opponents and teach his followers how to overcome hypocrisy in their lives.

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Wavewalker (pt 15)

Gospel Of Mark | Wavewalker - Part 15 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Last week, we witnessed Jesus feed the 5,000 with just five loaves and two fish. We asked ourselves, "What small thing could we give to Jesus that He would want to multiply?"

This Sunday, we encounter another one of the more famous passages of scripture -- the time Jesus walked on water. Come as we explore why he did that, what was accomplished, and why it matters!  Are you ready to be a wavewalker?

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Sheep Without A Shepherd (pt 14)

Gospel Of Mark | Part 14 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Last week, we watched a root of bitterness lead to the murder of John the Baptist. This week, weary from the relentless crowds and grieving the death of John the Baptist, Jesus and his disciples try to go into seclusion to rest. But the crowds keep coming. Though exhausted, he doesn’t look away . . . he looks on them, and does so with compassion.

Why? He saw them as “sheep without a shepherd.”  Join us this Sunday as we learn about the Good Shepherd!

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Murder, She Wrote (pt 13)

Gospel Of Mark | Part 13 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Last week we witnessed what can happen to those whom God has called into the spotlight. This week we will witness what harbored anger, bitterness, and hatred can lead to from the murderous plot of Herod’s wife, Herodias.

Join us this Sunday as we learn to cultivate uncommon responses to poor treatment so that we do not allow a grudge to grow a root of bitterness in our lives, or in our homes.

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Uncommon (pt 12)

Gospel Of Mark | Part 12 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Last Sunday, we were challenged to ascend beyond ‘mediocre faith’ and behave the way we believe. This week, we will follow Jesus, who is now at the pinnacle of his fame, as he travels back to his hometown of Nazareth, only to be rejected.

It seems like now, more than ever, believers are tempted to be ashamed of their faith in Jesus Christ. Join us this Sunday as we learn how to be uncommon and thrive along the dusty path of worldly rejection.

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | More Than Able (pt 11)

Gospel Of Mark | Part 11 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Mark 5:21-43

Last week, Jesus stopped his teaching and crossed to the other side to free a man from demonic possession in order to send a message of hope throughout the Gentile region. This week, we will follow Jesus as he leaves the other side and goes back to the crowds, where he will be interrupted by three people whose faith was being challenged.

Have you ever had God deliver for you in the "eleventh hour"? Have you ever had something die on you that you were certain was God’s plan for you? If so, join us this week as we learn what “Talitha Cumi” faith is, and how it works!

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Other Side (pt 10)

Gospel of Mark | Part 10 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Last week, Jesus got into the boat with his disciples to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. They encountered a storm on the water that would both test and grow their faith. However, nothing could prepare them for what they were about to encounter on “the other side.”

Join us this Sunday as we discuss the reality of evil, the strategy of darkness, and the biblical response of the child of God.
