This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Fall Away 3.8

This Is Who He Is - Gospel of Mark | Fall Away | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Mark 14:10-31

Why does it feel we are seeing more and more people “falling away” from the faith? This Sunday, as we follow Jesus into an upper room to take the last Passover meal with His disciples, we find this is not a new phenomenon.  

 

During this first communion, which we will commemorate as a church this week, Jesus says, “one of you will betray me," and then later says, “all of you will fall away.”

 

Join us this week as we dive deeper into these two predictions.

This Is Who He Is - Gospel of Mark | Alabaster Worship | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Mark 14:1-11

Do you know those times in our lives when we find ourselves broken and empty?  All our words seem to fall short and we have nothing really new to say. In despair, we simply throw up our broken hearts and empty hands to the Lord, with tears flowing down our face and without a care of what people might say. 

 

What would I call that? Alabaster Worship. In our humanity, we know it’s not much, but to Him, it is incredibly precious!

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Stay Awake - 3.6

This Is Who He Is - Gospel of Mark | Stay Awake | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This Sunday we'll return to our Gospel of Mark series where, over the next few weeks leading up to Easter, we'll focus on the final events in Jesus' ministry that culminate in His death and resurrection.

 

This week, we'll be looking at Mark chapter 13, where Jesus warns his disciples of the things to come. His message is one of caution, preparedness, and faithfulness in the face of coming trials, urging them - and us today - to remain steadfast in our faith and be watchful for His return

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Real Or Rendered - 3.5

Gospel Of Mark | Real Or Rendered | Pastor Jon Adams

What does real devotion to God look like? That’s the question our text raises this week in the Gospel of Mark (Mark 12:35-42). In Jesus’ final clash with religious leaders before his arrest, we’ll see him lay out what devotion to God really looks like. He’ll give us two examples to consider—one familiar, and one that’s totally unexpected. 

Join us this Sunday as we continue our study in Mark, as well as set the framework for our Week of Prayer this coming week.

 

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | It's A Trap - 3.4

Gospel Of Mark | It's A Trap | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This week in our Gospel of Mark sermon series, we'll be looking at Mark 12:13-34, where Jesus continues to be questioned by the pharisees, sadducees, and scribes in an effort to catch him in a trap. But once again, his answers diffuse their arguments and bring them to silence.

Join us as we watch how Jesus responds to their questioning and gain insight into what life is all about.

This Is Who He Is | Whose Authority? - 3.3

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Whose Authority? | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Join us this week as we listen to Jesus answer those who confront him about his credentials. Specifically, what authority does he think he possesses to justify what he is doing and saying in the temple?

I think his response will both surprise and challenge us.

This Is Who He Is | Zeal For His House - 3.2

Gospel Of Mark | Zeal For His House | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Mark 11:12-25

Last week, we saw Jesus approaching Jerusalem among throngs of cheering crowds while harboring a sorrowful secret . . . knowing he would soon suffer his own brutal death.
 
This week, we’ll look at Jesus’ reaction as he encounters merchants and moneychangers in the temple, having turned it into a bustling marketplace rather than a place of worship. In a bold move that shook up the status quo, he sets in motion the circumstances that ultimately lead to his peril. Within a week he would be dead.
 
Join us on Sunday as we examine this iconic biblical account, and how Jesus willingly submitted to the will of the Father on behalf of all of mankind.

This Is Who He Is | The Last Ride - 3.1

Gospel of Mark - Part 3 | The Last Ride - Part 1 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

After a brief departure to focus on our December Christmas series, we are back in the gospel of Mark to finish our study of the entire book. These next weeks will be the third section of the three-part series we began back in April.

This Sunday, we will be picking up in Mark 11, with Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. We will also have a time around the Lord's table with the commemoration of Communion.

This week, we look forward to opening the rest of our one another boxes. Its been a great Christmas season and we'll put a bow on the ThanksGiver series. We hope you've been blessed by learning from scripture how we should be treating one another.

Christmas Eve | Make Joy

Christmas Eve 23 | Make Joy | Pastor Chris Heller

 

We look forward to this weekend with anticipation as we gather to celebrate the birth of our Savior and share the light of Christ’s love with a hurting world. In this season of profound joy and sacred reflection, we come together as a family of faith, in His name, to express our gratitude, love, and hope.
 
We pray the message of the true meaning of Christmas will impact people’s hearts, renew their spirits, and stir new souls to embrace a life of faith in Jesus Christ.

Wishing you a blessed Christmas and joy-filled holiday season!
