“The Lord, the Law, and the Heart of God” (Mark 2:23-3:6)

Can you be so focused on being right that you end up wrong? God’s law is good. But this passage shows that while defending God’s law, we can miss God’s heart. This Sunday, we’ll see that Jesus is both the Lord of the Sabbath and the Lord of compassion.

"The Great Physician” (Mark 2:1-17)

Few people enjoy going to the doctor. It’s inconvenient. It can be costly. And it’s uncomfortable to hear what’s really wrong. The same is true when we come to Jesus, the Great Physician. In our passage this Sunday, Jesus confronts us with a diagnosis deeper than we realize—but also with a cure better than we could imagine. And not just for us but for all who sin and need a Savior.

"Amazing Authority” (Mark 1:21-45)

Most of us come to Jesus wanting help for the problems in our lives. In our passage this Sunday, Jesus dramatically meets people in their need, bringing healing and restoration to a broken world. Yet we'll discover that our needs are even deeper than we realize—and that Jesus' good news is even greater than we could imagine.

"Good News” (Mark 1:1-15)

We all long for good news. A job offer. A new relationship. An affordable place to live. A clean bill of health. A war brought to an end. Yet we've lived long enough to know that not every promise delivers. We've been disappointed too many times to accept good news without questions. Mark opens his Gospel with an announcement of good news unlike any other. And in these opening verses, he carefully shows us why this news can be trusted—and why it really is as good as it sounds.

The Difficulty of Prayer: Why is it So Hard to Pray? (Mark 14:32-42)

In the last couple weeks we've seen from God's word the amazing purpose of prayer in relating with the God of the universe and also the awesome power of prayer to change our lives and circumstances. But if prayer is so great, then why is it so difficult? Why do we struggle to spend quantity and quality time in prayer? This week, we'll see from Mark 14 how we can overcome distractions and obstacles in order to realize the numerous benefits of a deeper prayer life.

The Power of Prayer: Does Prayer Actually Change Anything? (Mark 9:14-29)

"Prayer doesn't change things, it only changes us.” Is that true? Last week we saw that the purpose of prayer is to know God better, to grow in our relationship with him. But is that all that prayer does? Does prayer actually do anything? Does it have any impact in the real world around us? We'll try to answer that question on Sunday.
