  1. From Hostility Comes Hope

    JAN 20

    From Hostility Comes Hope

    In Mark 3:1–6, hostility toward Jesus reaches a breaking point as He confronts hardened hearts in the synagogue and heals a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath. While religious leaders watch with accusation in mind, Jesus responds with compassion, righteous anger, and restoring grace. In this message, we see the danger of legalism, the tragedy of spiritual hardness, and the hope found in Christ—the Lord of the Sabbath—who steps into human brokenness to make people whole. Even as opposition grows and plots form against Him, God’s redemptive plan moves forward, reminding us that through hostility, true hope is born.Title: From Hostility Comes HopeSeries: The Gospel of MarkDate: January 11, 2026

  2. The Benefit of the Sabbath

    JAN 6

    The Benefit of the Sabbath

    In Mark 2:23–28, Jesus confronts man-made religion and reclaims the true purpose of the Sabbath. As the Pharisees accuse His disciples of breaking the law, Jesus reveals that the Sabbath was never meant to burden God’s people—but to bless them. In this message, we explore how legalism obscures grace, why mercy outweighs ritual, and how Jesus declares Himself Lord of the Sabbath. True rest is not found in rule-keeping, but in coming to Christ—the One who gives rest for weary souls and invites us to trust Him fully.

  3. Serving Jesus is a Joyous Thing

    12/29/2025

    Serving Jesus is a Joyous Thing

    In Mark 2:18–22, Jesus responds to questions about fasting by revealing the heart of life in God’s kingdom. Through the images of a wedding feast, a new garment, and fresh wine, Jesus shows that following Him is not about joyless duty or religious patchwork—but about new life marked by grace, freedom, and celebration. In this message, we explore why serving Christ flows from joy rather than obligation, why legalism leads to famine instead of feast, and how the presence of the Bridegroom changes everything. Christianity is not a funeral procession—it is a wedding celebration. Title: Serving Jesus is a Joyous Thing Series: The Gospel of Mark Date: December 28, 2025

  4. Jesus is a Friend of Sinners

    12/26/2025

    Jesus is a Friend of Sinners

    In Mark 2:14–17, Jesus does the unthinkable—He calls a despised tax collector, dines with sinners, and declares His mission to heal the spiritually sick. As opposition begins to rise, Jesus answers the question “Why?” with gospel clarity: He did not come for the self-righteous, but for sinners in need of grace. In this message, we see the sovereign call of Christ, the transforming power of His grace, and the hope that no one is beyond His reach. Jesus is not ashamed to draw near to the outcast—He is a Friend of sinners, and that is very good news for us all.

  5. Our Greatest Need

    12/26/2025

    Our Greatest Need

    In Mark 2:1–13, a paralyzed man is lowered through a roof in desperate hope of healing—but Jesus addresses a deeper need first. Before restoring broken limbs, He forgives broken hearts. In this message, we explore why forgiveness of sins is humanity’s greatest need, how Jesus alone has the authority to grant it, and what happens when grace reaches the deepest places of our lives. As opposition begins to rise and the identity of Christ comes into focus, we are reminded that our greatest problem is not our circumstances—but our sin—and our greatest hope is found in the One who says, “Your sins are forgiven.” Title: Our Greatest Need Series: The Gospel of Mark Date: November 16, 2025

  6. The Kingdom Advances, Pt. 3- Cleansing

    12/23/2025

    The Kingdom Advances, Pt. 3- Cleansing

    In Mark 1:35–45, the Kingdom advances not only through prayer and preaching, but through cleansing. As a desperate leper kneels before Jesus, we witness the compassion of Christ, the power of His touch, and the grace that makes the unclean clean. In this message, we explore how physical leprosy points to a deeper spiritual condition—our sin—and how Jesus, the Great High Priest, willingly takes our uncleanness upon Himself to make us whole. Join us as we see the gospel on display: a Savior who touches the untouchable, redeems the cursed, and cleanses sinners by His grace.

  7. The Kingdom Advances, Pt. 2: Preaching

    11/26/2025

    The Kingdom Advances, Pt. 2: Preaching

    In Mark 1:35–45, Jesus emerges from the solitude of prayer with renewed purpose: to preach. Though the crowds sought miracles, Jesus made it clear that His primary mission was proclamation—bringing the good news of God’s kingdom to every town and every person. In this message, we explore why preaching stands at the heart of Christ’s ministry, how the gospel both saves and transforms, and why believers today must carry that same message into the world. Join us as we see how prayer leads to proclamation, and how the kingdom advances as God’s people speak the good news.Title: The Kingdom Advances, Pt. 2: PreachingSeries: The Gospel of MarkDate: November 2, 2025

  8. The Kingdom Advances, Pt. 1: Prayer

    11/26/2025

    The Kingdom Advances, Pt. 1: Prayer

    In Mark 1:35–45, we follow Jesus into the quiet darkness of early morning as He steps away from the crowds to commune with His Father. Before preaching, before healing, before confronting evil—Jesus prays. In this message, we explore why the Kingdom advances first and foremost through prayer, how solitude strengthens ministry, and how Jesus’ own example teaches us to seek God before stepping into the work He’s given us. Join us as we begin this three-part series and rediscover the power and priority of prayer in the life of the church.
