The Gospel of Mark: The Measure of True Greatness – 8.25.24

All of us want to live lives of significance. We want our lives to count. We want to be somebody! The problem is that our culture tends to shape the kind of somebody we want to become. In Sunday’s message, we see the disciples being influenced by the values of their culture. They wanted to be great. They wanted positions of power in Jesus’ kingdom. To reframe their vision of greatness, Jesus directs them to the cross.

The Gospel of Mark: The Stilling of the Storm – 3.3.24

In this message we see an example of Jesus’ power over nature and are reminded that there is no sphere over which Jesus is not Lord. We are also reminded that God’s love and care for us is not diminished by the trials and difficulties we experience. Sometimes Jesus walks with us through trials, and sometimes he delivers us from them. Either way, he wants us to trust him, and not to doubt his great love for us.
