Sunday, December 6: Follow Me Mark 14:32–72 One reason I appreciate the Bible as God’s true account, is the way they deal with the “heroes” of faith. You know the men and women we look up to and think how amazing followers of God they are. Moses split the red sea… and then in a fit of […]
Sunday, April 5: Son of God Mark 8:22–38 Being a disciple ofJesus would have been the privilege of a lifetime, constantly seeing God at work in the world, following him wherever he went, and regularly having to reconsider what you thought you knew about him.

Sunday, February 9: Son of God Mark 4:35–41 In Mark 4, Jesus embarks on a journey with his disciples across the Sea of Galilee. In a small fishing boat. In a storm. At night.

Sunday, February 2: Son of God Mark 4:1–34 Jesus’ teaching ministry in the book of Mark begins with the use of parables. These parables hold deep truths, in seemingly simple stories.

Sunday, June 24: Questions of Jesus Luke 2:41–49 The questions we have for God are not nearly as important as the questions he has for us.
