June 24, 2024 15:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MBWhat if instead of "complaining" to each other, we instead "complained" to the Lord? How different would your life look and the relationships you have?

And through his complaints, the Lord not only receives them...He answers!
Complaining & Contentment, Session One, Complaining About God
June 18, 2024 16:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MBComplaining isn't just something that people are good at now. It's been around from the beginning and it has become so common that we do it out of habit! We forget where we have truly had it worse and convince ourselves that it was better in the past! This Sunday we learn that the nation of Israel fits into that mold as well. They left Egypt, redeemed from their oppressors, and then find reasons why their current situation is worse than their slavery in Egypt! And God, through his unending ...

May 06, 2024 15:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MBIn Mark chapter 12 we are reminded by the poor widow of what it means to give what we have -- sacrificially.

According to Mark, Mark 11, The Remover of Obstacles
April 29, 2024 15:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBJesus enters Jerusalem and very quickly begins to upset the Scribes, Pharisees, and teachers of religious law -- beginning with flipping tables at the temple.

According to Mark, Mark 10, The Servant Who Suffers
April 22, 2024 15:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBTo embrace Kingdom greatness is not really what we think it is. As a matter of fact, it's the opposite of what the world tells us.

But, they truly didn't know the real meaning of it.

April 15, 2024 15:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MBIn Mark, chapter 9, we see Jesus interact with a man who proclaims his lack of faith - as many of us have encountered in our own lives! But, all of us can find encouragement in this text that our doubts don't disqualify us from God's grace.

March 25, 2024 15:00 - 33 minutes - 23.1 MBJesus never backed down from Pharisee questions or accusations; often responding to them with scripture to not only help them see the truth but to correct them.

March 18, 2024 15:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBJesus is the greatest leader -- ever.
