December 04, 2020 21:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBThis week we walk through Genesis 22. Abraham's call of obedience to go an sacrifice His own Son. It is amazing to me that scripture shows us complete trust in the Lord, even if it means that the Lord will have to raise Issac from the dead, Abraham still trusts that God is in control.

October 22, 2020 17:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBThis week Jesus puts His words into action. Immediately following a possible in house issue with the disciples Jesus puts His teaching into action by healing a blind man. Join us this week as we walk through this passage together.
The Suffering Servant: Get Low
October 04, 2020 08:00 - 43 minutes - 29.7 MBObedience to the call of a believer comes with its share of hurdles and valleys. Jesus sets the ultimate example of obedience to its utmost end at the cross, and the call of scripture is for a believer to obey to whatever end that may lead. The heart of a disciple is one that is aimed at lifting up, loving, and serving other people; no matter the circumstance. To submit, you have to get out of the way. To obey, there will be sacrifice. Join us this week as we walk through what it means to co...

The Suffering Servant: 2nd is First Last
August 23, 2020 08:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBGod's Kingdom is an upside down Kingdom. Greatness is not measured in position, influence, or reputation. Greatness is measured in service. There is a position that we should all aspire to as disciples and as followers of Jesus, the position of a servant. A person whom serves the Lord and a person that serves other people. Join us as we dive into this text.

When the going gets tough...
August 02, 2020 05:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBWe take a quick detour this week to deal with a stand alone text. Nehemiah is dealing with conflict outside of Jerusalem in chapters 4 and 6. This week, Nehemiah is dealing with conflict inside the camp, issues amongst the Jewish people. Will the work of rebuilding continue? Or does the work stop when things get difficult? Let's dive in and see what the text says.
The Suffering Servant: Pick it Up
July 25, 2020 07:00 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MBJesus encounters His disciples with a hard truth. They, along with most Jewish people, waited for the messiah to come for years. The disciples are beginning to see Jesus and understand that He is the long awaited messiah, yet their understanding and idea of a messiah does not go as far as the scriptures teach. This week we walk through Jesus' foretelling of His coming suffering and death and what that means for the modern day believer.
The Suffering Servant: If only I had a sign
July 19, 2020 08:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBAfter a series of miracles and wonders, the Pharisees come demanding a sign from Jesus. The only issue is, they are trying to discredit Jesus rather than affirm who He is. We can be guilty of thinking, "If only I could see what the disciples saw, or hear what they heard" then it would be so much easier to believe. What do we do when we cannot see or hear?
The Suffering Servant: Serve Where you Are
July 13, 2020 15:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MBThis week we walk through the conversations that Jesus has with the Syrophoenician woman about her daughter. This passage has encouraging implications for the life of the believer. Join us as we walk through this passage in Mark.

After casting aside the oral traditions of that day, Jesus aims right for the heart of the matter and the heart of man and He calls out true defilement. Join us!
The Suffering Servant: Was there something about that robe?
June 07, 2020 12:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MBJesus goes about the rest of the region healing many people. As many as touched the hem of His robe. Was there something magical about that robe? Did it intrinsically have a power to heal or was something much bigger going on here? Join us as we walk through the healings of Gesennerat.
The Suffering Servant: Walking on the Water
June 03, 2020 11:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBIf Jesus only wanted to calm the storm and the chaos around the disciples, He wouldn't have had to walk on the water. If He wanted to calm the storm only, He could have just spoke from the shore. Yet, He walked on the water and meant to make an arch passing by the disciples for another reason. He wanted them to see Him in fullness. Join us this week as we walk through this passage.
The Suffering Servant: Feeding of the 5,000
June 01, 2020 20:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MBThis week we walk through the feeding of the 5,000, the things this story teaches us about Jesus, and the implications that it has on the life of the believer.
The Suffering Servant: Ill-equipped, Unprepared, and Caught off Guard
May 15, 2020 09:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBThis week Jesus puts feet to his daily discipleship with His disciples. He sends them on a mission. "Go and practice all the things that I have been teaching you. Do what I have been doing." There is a catch in this.... They go with His authority and they work in His power. As a believer, we are called to "Go" as well.
The Suffering Servant: Rejected in His own Hometown
May 12, 2020 14:00 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBThis week we dive into the passage in Mark 5 that shows Jesus' hometown and their public and obvious rejection of Him. What does this mean for its reader? We dive into its implications for the reader in this week's episode.
The Suffering Servant: Two Miracles
April 29, 2020 16:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MBThis week we finish up Mark 5. In this text Jesus encounters an important man from the temple and a lowly woman. The man's 12 year old daughter is on her death bed and the woman has been dealing with a hemorrhage for 12 years. Both of these miracles share similarities and realities that point to just who Jesus is. These similarities help show the reader what that means for us. Join us as we walk through this text.
Jesus Heals a man with demons
April 24, 2020 19:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MBIn this week's episode we look at Jesus' miraculous authority over all things in the spiritual realm. The demons in this man immediately recognize who Jesus is. In Mark 5, Jesus speaks to the demons, casting them from a man to a herd of pigs. Let's take a look at the implications that this text has for the everyday man or woman.

Resurrection in the OT
April 20, 2020 22:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MBThis week we take a quick detour from the Gospel of Mark to Isaiah 53. The prophecy of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 is about Jesus. This prophecy tells of Jesus' death, and his resurrection. This week we walk through the implications that this text has on our lives.
The Suffering Servant: Jesus Calms the Storm
April 06, 2020 19:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MBThis week we look at Mark's account of Jesus rebuking the wind and the waves. Jesus immediately turns to his disciples and rebukes them for their lack of faith. We walk away from this passage with a few things that encourage us and challenge us in our walk with the Lord.
The Suffering Servant: Parables of the Kingdom
March 31, 2020 21:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBJesus leads out from the Parable of the soils with a private conversation with His disciples explaining exactly what He meant with the Parable of the Soils. He then goes into a back to back telling of three parables in which He talks about the Kingdom of God. May these three parables give you hope, encourage you, and challenge you.
The Suffering Servant: Parable of the Soils
March 23, 2020 16:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MBThis week we dive into the first and one of the only parables in the Gospel according to Mark. At this point Jesus has been dealing with a lot of controversy and confrontation from the religious leaders of that time, yet His mission carries on to preach the good news of the Kingdom to those that are willing to listen. In this parable, Jesus implores people to hear and to listen to the many different heart responses to that good news. He warns His hearers, and Mark warns his readers to be car...
