Mark 14:53-72 - Swinging Swords and Winging Words

Peter makes two drastic changes: one from disciple to denier; then from denier to servant. How do we make a move from our swinging swords and winging words?

Mark 14:32-52 - Playing My Part

What is my part in the story? So many characters come together at the end of Jesus' ministry. What is my part?

Mark 13 - 'Til Kingdom Come

A difficult text which can leave us questioning a lot of things. But, we discover that Jesus is trying to make us Watch, Work and Wonder at all that he has done and will do.

Mark 12:35-44 - Jesus Mic Drop

They continue to question Jesus, but now it is his turn to ask the questions...

Mark 12:18-27- Wedding or Not, Here We Come?

What does the resurrection mean for me today? It means being in a posture of allowing God to constantly blow your mind. Evergreen remains in Mark's gospel as Jesus continues to be tested, this time by the Sadducees.

Mark 12:1-12 - Bad Tenets

Tenets, not tenants. Well, both actually. Tenets are ideas, but there doesn't seem to be a good idea from this father who trusted people- even with his own son.

Mark 11:27-33 - Who's Asking?

Jesus' authority is in question as he has upset tables in the temple, he has also upset the chief priests and teachers. Is he authorized?

Mark 11:11-26 - Rotten Roots Yet Full of Leaves

A hungry and frustrated Jesus finds his way into the temple after cursing a fig tree. Like the temple coming down, Jesus knows that something that is present and useless is worse than tearing it down to make way for the new.

Mark 11:1-11 - Slowing Down

Mark pumps the brakes as we go from a tempo of the immediate, to one of the last week of Jesus' life.

Mark 10:46-52 - Anonymous

It means so much to be known. We like to know, but we have a great desire to be known and heard. This week we look at a blind beggar whose name becomes eternal.

Mark 10:13-45 - Grown Up Stuff

Who can receive eternal life? Mark 10 contains an array of people, find out who can lay claim...

Mark 10:1-12 - Splitting Heirs

Trying to trap Jesus doesn't work. Controversy can be a part of any relationship causing division. It can split close couples, and even believing people. Jesus speaks to intention of God, not to the interpretation of man in Mark 10.

Mark 9:42-50 - Salted Sacrifices

Before Advent, we pause at Mark 9 to consider the sacrifices made- past and present. What does a salty sacrifice look like?

Mark 9:30-41- Being Behind...

Following the disciples trying to get ahead, we find out what getting behind Jesus may actually look like.

Mark 9:14-29 - Getting Ahead...

The well-meaning disciples are stumped again. We desire the presence of God in our lives and today Jesus comes publicly, in purity and power.

Mark 9:2-13 - Making Change

Transfiguration is not a common word. This special time, place and audience reassures the faith of disciples with an amazing sight. Jesus shows a change in order to make a change.

Mark 8:27-9:1 - Winning by Losing

It doesn't add up, but you will be glad it doesn't. Jesus reveals himself to be the Messiah, but one who would suffer and serve.

Mark 8:14-26 - Let it Rise

Yeast changes its surroundings. Why does Mark have so much to say about bread in chapters 6-8? Listen as our sermon series starts to turn to the suffering and service Jesus starts to speak about.

Mark 8:1-13 - A Gut Feeling

Ever get that? A feeling in your gut? What is it? An inkling? I compulsion to do something? Is it ever compassion? Jesus has a gut feeling for the thousands who gathered around him. It is a deep compassion for those who can be forgotten.
