“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 Guests of the Supper” (Acts 2:41-47)

What if you could step into the life of the very first church and see how the gospel shaped their shared life? This Sunday, we’ll do just that by turning to Acts 2. There we’ll discover that the sacraments weren’t an afterthought—they stood at the heart of the church from the beginning. As we look at their practice, we’ll consider what the sacraments truly are and who Christ invites to share in them. May 3, 2026

“You Never Know" (Ecclesiastes 11:1-6)

There is so much in life that we don’t know—and can’t know. We can’t predict the future or be sure of success. How then should we live in light of all of this uncertainty? The temptation can be to passivity or even apathy. Yet our passage this Sunday offers us wisdom for how to live even when so little is in our control.

"Wisdom in Worship” (Ecclesiastes 5:1-7)

How do you get ready for church? Perhaps you shower, pick out an outfit to wear, have breakfast, check the weather. But the Preacher in Ecclesiastes says we need to “guard our steps” on the way to worship. What does he mean, and how can we avoid worshiping foolishly? Feb. 08. 2026

"God's Mission, and Ours" (Romans 15:8-33)

Why are you in Boston? Perhaps you were born here, or you came to study or work. Yet the deeper, truer reason is God has one, clear, shared purpose for each of our lives here. What is it? How do we accomplish it? We’ll consider this as the Apostle Paul begins his conclusion—and ultimate purpose—of this glorious letter to the Romans.

"Love Over Liberty" (Romans 14:13-23)

How are Christians supposed to get along when consciences clash? How do we love and stay united with our brothers and sisters even when we disagree about issues of application and culture? We continue in Romans this Sunday as we grow in how to live out the gospel together in community.

"When Christians Disagree" (Romans 14:1-12)

Do Christians have to agree about everything? How should we respond when we don’t see eye-to-eye about how to apply God’s word? What’s worth fighting for, and what’s better to just agree to disagree? Sunday’s passage in Romans will consider these questions and more.
