This Is Who He Is - Gospel of Mark | All The Noise (pt 7)

Gospel of Mark | Part 7 | Pastor Jon Adams

 

Mark is a book of action and we’ve seen Jesus “immediately” healing the sick, teaching the crowds, and choosing his followers. While there has been some resistance to Jesus so far, this week he will face new levels of rejection. Opinions, criticism, judgment, feedback — in Mark 3, the resistance to Jesus gets turned way up. 

As we follow along Mark’s story, we’ll witness how Jesus deals with all the “noise” that comes when you’re trying to do the right thing, and we’ll learn his strategy for tuning out that noise and walking forward in obedience to God.

Gospel Of Mark | Part 5 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This Sunday, the Pharisees will continue their barrage on Jesus and His disciples. This time, their concerns lie in regard to what they see as the disciples' complete disregard of the Sabbath laws.

Look forward to "the Lord of the Sabbath’s” response, and be astonished by the Pharisees' reactions.

This week, Jesus will give us some helpful tools to handle the Pharisees in our life who enjoy pointing out the things they see in us that disappoint them.

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Extra Mile (pt 3)

Gospel Of Mark | Part 3 | Pastor Chris Heller 

 

Have you ever been so blessed, so blown away, so taken back by the treatment you have witnessed or received by another that you said, “I have never seen anything like it?" 

This Sunday, we will witness four men who went the extra mile for a paralyzed man in order to bring him to Jesus, and then Jesus both did and said something that left everyone saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Follower | Take Up Your Cross (pt 3) | Easter Sunday

Follower | Part 3 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This week we'll conclude our Easter series, FOLLOWER, on Resurrection Sunday! During Jesus' last few days on earth, he prepares his disciples for the events to come and instructs them that they must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him. They couldn't possibly have fully understood the horrors they would see Jesus endure or anticipated what would be required of each of them as the crucifixion unfolded.

What does it mean to deny ourselves and "take up our cross?" It certainly doesn't sound easy, and it isn't, but it's worth it. We will take a close look at what is required of us to be a true follower of Christ.

Follower | Part 2 | Pastor Gabe Vanderstel

 

Last week, we were challenged to count the cost of following Jesus. We learned that Jesus calls his followers to reorder their priorities, sacrifice their comfort, and never look back.

This Sunday, Pastor Gabe will be sharing from the gospel of Luke as Jesus calls each of us to consider what obstacle may stand in the way of us following him completely. As we reflect on Jesus’ challenge to a rich young ruler, we will consider what we are most afraid to lose as the result of following Christ.

It’s not always easy, and it will require sacrifice, but for those who are willing, following Jesus offers a great reward.

Follower | Part 1 | Pastor Jon Adams

 

We live in a culture that loves to talk about leadership. Every day there are more “experts” filling up your inboxes, your podcast feed, and your social media with new and better ways to lead, to get ahead, and to make your mark. Jesus teaches something a whole lot simpler. He teaches us the power of following. In our three-part Easter series, Follower, we’ll be looking at three passages of scripture where Jesus calls us to follow him.

Pastor Jon will be starting the series this Sunday with a message called “Foxes Have Holes,” where we’ll be challenged to count the cost of following Jesus. It’s not always easy, and it will require sacrifice, but for those who are willing, following Jesus offers a great reward.
