In Mark 3:13 Jesus withdraws and summons the twelve to appoint them as Apostles. Through these understated verses we see Jesus’s plan for the Kingdom: the sending of ordinary disciples to declare to the lost, “Repent and believe, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!” Join us Sunday as we examine these verses and see how the mission of God is undergirded by his presence. 

Mark 3:7-12. Mark at this point, provides a summary of Jesus' ministry and who He is using three recurring themes.  And of course, these themes recur not just in Mark, but all of scripture.  Come this week and see how these themes provide a clear identity of Jesus. 

The Pharisees keep hounding Jesus and his disciples; this time with questions about the sabbath. Instead of answering their question directly, he gives them signs that he is the Messiah. Showing them what the sabbath was truly all about.

This passage begins with a question about fasting. In Jesus’ response, He tells us something vitally important about who He is, who we are, and what we should be doing.

The scribes were appalled by Jesus. He ate with tax collectors and sinners. What was he thinking? Didn't he know these morally filthy people would make him unclean? They didn't see the reverse happening. When Jesus comes to us, he isn't made dirty, we're made clean.

Guest Preacher Tyler Twombly joins us this Sunday as we begin Mark chapter 2. Jesus heals the paralyzed man, and in the middle of this miracle, he makes a bold proclamation: "your sins are forgiven." Come to New King Sunday morning as we hear about both the  ability and authority that Christ has to forgive sins.
