In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Mark 7-8. In these chapters, the Pharisees challenge Jesus to show them a sign and the disciples struggle in their faith. These stories challenge our faith and remind us that spiritual growth is an ongoing process. While we may see growth in some areas of out spiritual walk, it does not mean we are done changing.
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Mark 7. In these verses, Jesus confronts the Pharisees about replacing God’s commandments with man’s tradition. This practice was popular at the time of Jesus and it is still popular today. Many Christians have a difficult time discerning the difference between authentic Biblical obedience and traditions passed down by men. It is important to ask the Holy Spirit to examine our hearts and expose our allegiance to tradition because we can’t be faithful to traditions and faithful to God at the same time.
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Mark 6. In these verses, the author contrasts the faith of the crowd, Jesus’ hometown, and the disciples. From this chapter, we learn that it is possible to exercise faith in one area of life, but operate with unbelief in other areas of our life. We also learn that predictability and familiarity can affect our faith in negative ways. This message is meant to challenge our faith by exposing our desire to live comfortable lives.
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Mark 4-5. In these verses, Jesus calms a storm, casts a demon out, heals a woman in a crowd, and brings a little girl back to life. Mark recorded the stories to remind us that Jesus has power over everything, the storms around us, and the ones inside us. This message is meant to bring us comfort and leave us with a sense of awe.
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Mark 3-4. In these verses, Jesus deals with crowds of followers, teaches a spiritual principle on leadership, teaches about church family, and explains how the Kingdom of God is like a seed. In the parable of the seed, only those who hear the Word of God and accept it will grow and mature. The maturity process looks different for every person, and we are reminded to extend grace to those who are still maturing.
In this message, Lyell walks through five different times in Mark 2-3 when Jesus came in conflict with the religious leaders of his day. When we examine these interactions, we see that while the scribes and pharisees tried to honor God by keeping his commandments they lost the heart of the law - love God, love others. As Christians today, we can avoid repeating this religious behavior by remembering that a disciple of Jesus doesn't use the Word of God as a weapon to hurt others or to justify withholding mercy from those who need it most.
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Mark 1. In this chapter, we learn about John the Baptist, the Trinity, the early disciples, and how Jesus taught with authority. The author includes a lot of information in one chapter, but it is written for our encouragement in the face of tribulation. Our prayer is that this study helps you see Jesus clearly and challenges you to follow Him.
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 2:15-35. In these verses, Mary and Joseph bring Jesus to the Temple for dedication. Simeon greets the parents and gives them a warning of how Jesus will divide Israel and expose the hearts of many people. This story reminds us that Jesus came to bring peace, but the path to peace includes tribulation and discomfort.
