From Mark 2:1-12, it’s the story of the paralytic lowered through the roof to Jesus, and what it means to rest in Jesus’ healing authority.

Bryan Cobley continues our series on The Life and Way of Jesus with a message on Mark 1:35-45.

Alison completes the two-part Prodigal miniseries from Luke 15. (The Management apologizes for the audio quality at the beginning of her message.)

Alison begins a two-part miniseries entitled Prodigal. From Luke 15, it’s the story of the prodigal son, and a God whose plan to find us is so much greater than our plan to get lost.

From Mark 1:21-34, Ryan continues our series in Mark (The Life and Way of Jesus) with a look at what life in the Kingdom of God actually looks like.

If you grew up in the church, the word “Christian” might mean something very simple to you – praying the Sinner’s Prayer, believing certain things, trying to be good most of the time, going to church now and again. But the word “Christian” is not used very often in Scripture, and never by Jesus; he didn’t have Christians. He had disciples. Today, from Mark 1-3, Ryan helps us understand what discipleship meant to Jesus.

Each of us probably has something slightly different come to mind when we hear the word gospel. What was the gospel according to Jesus? And what did He mean by the Kingdom of God? Ryan continues our series in Mark with an in-depth look at Jesus’ words as He began His ministry.

As we’ve just learned in our Emotionally Healthy Relationships series, unmet expectations are the root of all disappointment. And boy, were people ever disappointed with Jesus. This week, Ryan opens a new series in the book of Mark, which shows a Jesus who is a lot different from the warrior king that people expected in the first century – and also a lot different from how we think of Jesus today.

We all know we’re supposed to pray … so why don’t we? Today, Bryan shares a message based on Jesus’ prayer in Gesthemane that addresses each of the common roadblocks to prayer.

The hosts explore the dynamics of conflict in relationships, emphasizing the importance of healthy communication and clean fighting. They advocate for constructive engagement rather than avoidance, drawing on personal insights and biblical teachings. Strategies for resolving disputes effectively are shared, encouraging emotional awareness and specific requests in interactions. The transformative journey of Jacob is discussed as a lens for understanding identity and conflict, prompting listeners to reflect on their own relational experiences and spiritual growth.
