Rest Assured

Mark 4:21-34

What are some things you can count on? What would you consider to be a "guarantee"... a promise you can take to the bank every time?

This week Jesus reveals one such guarantee. With a few simple pictures He teaches us about this Kingdom movement. There are powerful principles at play that will not only change the world, but transforms our lives, marriages, families and friendships.

By the time He’s done, you’ll get it – you can Rest Assured.

Mixed Reviews

Mark 4:1-20

Why is it that some people can watch a movie, binge a show or read a book and LOVE it —while others walk away from the same one saying, “Meh”? Our reactions really are as diverse and unique as we are. It’s always been this way. Jesus arrived on the scene to start a movement... teaching the crowds and turning the world upside down. And yet, even this King was met with Mixed Reviews.

This week Jesus turns to the critics and addresses their mixed reviews. As he does, you're invited to consider your own reaction to this life-changing message from this life-changing Savior.

The In Crowd

Mark 3:20-35

Who doesn’t want to be a part of the “in-crowd.” Most of us want to be in, to feel accepted and belong. And yet few things are more elusive than the in-crowd. Who’s in and who’s out? How do we become a part? What do we have to do to be IN? Jesus is building a movement and this week he’s going to take away the guesswork; He is going to tell us exactly who the in-crowd is... and the answer is not what you would expect.

The Crowd

Mark 3:7-19

A moment can change everything. But moments come and go. Time passes and moments fade... growing smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror. Moments are powerful. Moments change our lives. But moments are just moments.

When Jesus came to earth, He set out to build something bigger than a moment. He was creating something that would extend across the globe and reach the ends of the earth, for thousands of years. Jesus wasn’t creating the moment, He was creating a movement.
