Title: The G.O.A.T.Series: UnveiledPassage: Mark 9:33-37This week the disciples are asking a question that many of us have asked: Who is the greatest of all time? However, they weren’t debating basketball legends or hockey superstars. They were talking about… themselves. Yikes. This week Jesus doesn’t discourage their debate – he settles it and tells us exactly who God considers to be the greatest in His Kingdom. Grab your Bibles, bring your notebooks and join us as we turn to God’s word and consider the identity of the GOAT.
Title: Failing Forward Series: Unveiled Passage: Mark 9:14-29 We all fail. Some of us fail quietly. Some of us fail spectacularly. Fortunately, none of us have our failures immortalized forever and ever in the Bible for people to read about for the rest of human history. This week we see the disciples fail, but by God’s grace all is not lost. Jesus steps into the scene and uses this experience to teach a powerful lesson that they, and we, will need as we seek to reach our world for Jesus.
Title: Now You See Me Series: Unveiled Passage: Mark 9:1-13 What are the "You should have seen it" moments in your life? A catch to win the game? Bringing home your first child? A prank on a college roommate? This week, a few of Jesus' disciples are going to have another "You should have seen it" moment of their own. And as they do, we'll get a glimpse behind the veil of who Jesus really is.
Title: Which Way? Series: Easter Passage: Mark 8:27-38 Are you good with directions? However you answer that, we’ve all at some point in our life had our sense of direction put to the test. We’ve all had to do a double take on our GPS. We’ve all received instructions that leave us scratching our heads and asking, “Which way? ” This week, Jesus’ directions are sure to leave his audience in a state of confusion. As people are trying to find their way through life, searching for directions and asking “Which Way?”, He gathers them together and tells them that the directions are found…in Easter. Join us as we celebrate the Resurrection and listen to Jesus unpack the meaning of Easter.
Title: One or Two?Series: UnveiledPassage: Mark 8:14-26How’s your eye sight? Do you have 20/20 vision or are you as blind as a bat? Have you yet to break out the reading glasses or are you still holding out? Eventually we all need to face the music, and so we schedule an appointment with the eye doctor. We sit in the chair and have our vision checked as the optometrist ask us that famous question: “One or two?”This week the disciples sit down, not with the eye doctor, but with Jesus. And as he checks their eyes the diagnosis is bleak. But hopefully they, and we, will leave this encounter seeing better than they did at the beginning.
Title: Class is in SessionSeries: UnveiledPassage: Mark 8:1-13Grab your pens and notebooks because we are going back to school. Jesus continues to bring his disciples through this immersive internship and this weekend will be memorable as His classroom is a bit… unorthodox. By the time the lesson is done, however, the disciples will have a notebook full of life-changing truths – as will we. Get ready – for Class is in Session.
Title: Can You Hear Me Now Series: Unveiled Passage: March 7:31-37 How loud does God have to speak for the world to hear Him? This week Jesus meets a man who can’t hear anything. As He pulls him away from the crowd, Jesus is not only going to change the life of this broken human; he’s going to demonstrate to the world what it is He has come to do for all of humanity. So listen up! For as the Son works in power, we’re going to hear the Father speaking loud and clear.
Title: Far From Home Series: Unveiled Passage: Mark 7:24-30 We’re back in the Gospel of Mark and Jesus is going abroad. As he travels Far From Home, we’re going to learn what Jesus thinks about those who are far from God.
This week, we're welcoming back our friend Andy Ziesemer! Andy serves as the President of the missions organization A Jesus Mission, traveling to support missionaries and teams around the world.
Title: Dependable Series: Grow Passage: John 15:1-11 Have you ever depended on someone who didn't come through for you? The world teaches us that depending on others is dangerous and that the only person worth depending on is ourselves. But what does the Bible say about dependency? This week, as we wrap up our Grow series, we take a look at John 15 where Jesus shares some of His last words with His disciples. Along with some great gardening tips, we get a better understanding about dependency. Contrary to what the world says, there is one who is Dependable.
