    Have you ever felt like your world was spinning out of control, with chaos crashing in from every side? In this week's teaching, we walk through two dramatic moments in Mark's Gospel—the calming of a storm and the freeing of a demon-possessed man—to reveal Jesus as both the King we long for and the King we need. Discover how Jesus meets us in life's chaos, bringing peace in the storm and mercy in our brokenness. He doesn't remove every trial, but He is present, powerful, and able to transform even the darkest places. Text: Mark 4:35-5:20

    Our Comfort vs. God's Mission: Following God's Call | Jonah 4 | Brent Van Sickle | Formation Sunday

    Where might God be calling you away from your comfort zone or personal preferences? In this week's teaching from Jonah 4, we explore the tension between our hearts and God's heart. Like Jonah, we often want grace for ourselves but justice for others. We draw lines around who deserves mercy, who we're willing to love, and where we're comfortable going. But God's mission doesn't stop at our boundaries. If you've ever wrestled with forgiveness, fairness, or loving people who are hard to love, this sermon is for you. ------------------------ Jonah 4: Jonah's Anger and the Lord's Compassion 1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, "O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. 3 Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live." 4 And the Lord said, "Do you do well to be angry?" 5 Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. 6 Now the Lord God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. 7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, "It is better for me to die than to live." 9 But God said to Jonah, "Do you do well to be angry for the plant?" And he said, "Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die." 10 And the Lord said, "You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?"

    Growing Hope in Uncertain Times | Mark 4:21-34 | Austin Glenn | Mark: Living for the King in Light of the Cross

    *]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "request-69a5f5c8-cc48-83e8-a0cc-ea0a5e344038-2" data-testid= "conversation-turn-6" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> Feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty and darkness? In this week's teaching from Mark 4:21–34, we explore Jesus' parables about the unstoppable kingdom of God. Like a lamp that cannot be hidden and a tiny mustard seed that grows into a mighty tree, God is at work—even when His ways seem mysterious. These parables remind us that hope is alive and growing. The kingdom advances by God's power, in God's timing, and cannot be stopped. Our role is simple but meaningful: faithfully scatter the seeds of the gospel and trust God to bring the growth. ----------- Mark 4:21-34 A Lamp Under a Basket 21 And he said to them, "Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? 22 For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear." 24 And he said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. 25 For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away." The Parable of the Seed Growing 26 And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. 27 He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. 28 The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come." The Parable of the Mustard Seed 30 And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade." 33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. 34 He did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

    Hearing That Changes You | Mark 4:1-20 | Austin Glenn | Mark: Living for the King in Light of the Cross

    In this week's teaching, we explore Jesus' parable of the sower and how the condition of our hearts shapes the impact of God's Word. Are we resisting, selectively hearing, or letting life's distractions choke out growth—or are we receiving it as good soil that produces lasting fruit? Discover what it truly means to turn from sin and trust fully in Christ. ------------------ Mark 4:1-20 The Parable of the Sower 1 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3 "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold." 9 And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." The Purpose of the Parables 10 And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, 12 so that "'they may indeed see but not perceive,     and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.'" 13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word. 15 And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them. 16 And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. 17 And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. 18 And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

    Finding Your Place in God's Family | Mark 3:7-35 | Austin Glenn | Mark: Living for the King in Light of the Cross

    What does it mean to truly belong to God's family? In this week's teaching from the Gospel of Mark, we explore how Jesus redefines family—not by heritage or performance, but by responding to His call to repent and believe. Discover the freedom of full forgiveness, adoption through faith, and the deeper purpose found in walking closely with Christ and joining His mission. ------------------ Mark 3:7-35 A Great Crowd Follows Jesus 7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea 8 and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him. 9 And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they crush him, 10 for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed around him to touch him. 11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God." 12 And he strictly ordered them not to make him known. The Twelve Apostles 13 And he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach 15 and have authority to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter); 17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder); 18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 20 Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat. 21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, "He is out of his mind." Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit 22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "by the prince of demons he casts out the demons." 23 And he called them to him and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house. 28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"— 30 for they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit." Jesus' Mother and Brothers 31 And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you." 33 And he answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" 34 And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother."

    Dividing Grace | Mark 2:18-3:6 | Don Krafft | Mark: Living for the King in Light of the Cross

    What happens when Jesus meets us in our brokenness? In this week's teaching, we explore the Sabbath encounters where Jesus confronts rigid legalism and restores a man's withered hand. Revealing both righteous anger and deep compassion, Jesus shows that healing begins when we honestly acknowledge our need. This sermon invites us to stop hiding behind religious performance and experience Christ as the living healer who still restores lives today. ---------------------- Mark 2:18-3:6 A Question About Fasting 18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" 19 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins." Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath 23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" 25 And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?" 27 And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath." A Man with a Withered Hand 1 Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. 2 And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, "Come here." 4 And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent. 5 And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

    The Gift of Rest | Mark 2:23-28 | Brent Van Sickle | Mark: Living for the King in Light of the Cross

    When was the last time you felt truly rested — not just physically, but in your soul? In a culture driven by speed, productivity, and constant noise, we're exhausted in ways sleep and caffeine can't fix.  In this week's teaching, we explore Jesus' words in Mark 2 and what it means that He is "Lord of the Sabbath." What if the most radical act of faith this week isn't doing more, but stopping long enough to be with Him? Discover why Sabbath is not a burden of rules but a liberating gift, the difference between legalism and true rest, and how it points us to the finished work of Christ. -------------------- Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath Mark 3:23-28 23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" 25 And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?" 27 And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

    Finding True Satisfaction | Mark 2:18-22 | Josh Gardner | Mark: Living for the King in Light of the Cross

    Do you crave Jesus the way you crave your favorite meal? We instinctively know what satisfies our physical hunger—a perfectly cooked steak, a go-to Mediterranean bowl, that one comfort food that never misses. We're experts at feeding our bodies. But when it comes to desiring Jesus, many of us are still learning how to hunger for Him. In this week's teaching, we explore why craving God's presence doesn't always come naturally—especially in the ordinary, everyday moments. Drawing from Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees about fasting, we reframe this ancient practice not as religious performance or spiritual pressure, but as a way to realign our hearts with the intimacy we already have in Christ. If you've ever wanted to desire Jesus more deeply—not just in moments of crisis, but in the mundane—this message will challenge and invite you to cultivate a hunger for Him that surpasses every other craving. ------------------------ Mark 2:18-22 A Question About Fasting 18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" 19 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment.

If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins."
