Jesus 101: Jesus the Reject
What can we learn about Jesus and life in his Kingdom from Mark 6:1-6 – where people refused to acknowledge him for who he is? Rejecting him and his power?
Jesus 101: Little Girl, Get Up! (Mark 5:21-43)
Join us next Sunday as we get back into our Jesus 101 series and our journey through the Gospel of Mark. We’ll be looking at the incredible story of Jesus healing an ‘unimportant’ woman of her lifelong illness as well as an ‘important’ man’s daughter who was on the brink of death. How can we get to know Jesus more through this story?? It’s going to be a great morning. Bring a friend and join us next Sunday at 10:30AM!
Finding Rest
We weren't created to work 7 days a week. We need rest. Rest for souls, rest for our minds, and rest for our bodies. Ultimately, what we need is to find rest in God. And yet, as busy people who are addicted to work and hurriedness, we resist it. We fight it. We refuse to be still. So, how can we find rest in God in the midst of our busy and (sometimes) over-scheduled lives? How does the Good News of Jesus free us from our addiction to busy-ness and help us find the rest that we so desperately need?
Being Fully Present
It's possible to be somewhere, but somewhere else at the same time. To be physically present but emotionally and spiritually absent at the same time. With all the stress, busyness and pressures of this life...along with smartphones, social media and everything else that screams for our attention... it's easy to be "somewhere else" and to disconnect from people who are right here right now. But is that really the life that God calls us to live? What does it look like to be "fully present" with the people God has placed in our lives, even when we are really busy? How does the good news of Jesus make this possible?
Eliminating Hurry
Dallas Willard once said that in order to experience all that God has for us that we must "ruthlessly eliminate hurry" from our lives. But this is easier said than done, especially when we live such full and busy lives. So what does this look like eliminate hurry and this sense of rushing from our lives? Why does this matter?
The Storm
Pastor Jeff Jantzi returns from vacation and teaches on Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-41. What does it look like for us to trust Jesus in the midst of the storms of this life?
Parables! (The Parable of the Lamp)
Why did Jesus speak in parables? Why does this matter to you and to me? Listen as Jeff teaches on the Parables of Jesus and The Parable of the Lamp (Mark 4:21-25)
Redefining Family
How did Jesus define family? Join us this Sunday to find out!
Mark 3:31-35
31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him. They stood outside and sent word for him to come out and talk with them. 32 There was a crowd sitting around Jesus, and someone said, “Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you.”
33 Jesus replied, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” 34 Then he looked at those around him and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers. 35 Anyone who does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
