Arbor Church

Join Ryan as he continues our Work That Matters series, exploring when work gets frustrating and looking at Genesis 3.

New series! Ryan opens Work that Matters with a message from Genesis 1-2 on the origin of work and what it means for us as God’s image-bearers.

Celebrate Easter at Arbor! This week, the story of the expectation-defying Jesus that we started almost two years ago reaches its conclusion with Jesus’ triumphant resurrection from the dead, and the hope, invitation, and challenge it brings to us today.

In the space between the crucifixion on Good Friday and the resurrection on Easter Sunday, Alison reflects on how—even in this in-between moment—there were those who honored Jesus with a memorial as they prepared His body for the tomb.

It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him. The inscription of the charge against him read, “The king of the Jews." – Mark 15:25-26 This week, guest speaker Garrett Shelp brings us towards the end of our time in Mark with a deep reading of Mark’s account of Jesus’ final hours.

Pilate asked Him, ‘Are You the King of the Jews?’ He answered him, ‘You say so.’ – Mark 15:2 As we near the end of our study in the book of Mark, the text reveals a showdown between two opposing kingdoms. As Jesus stands trial before Pilate, we see the kind of kingdom He represents.

Ryan takes us into the final stretch of Mark’s Gospel, where we witness how the disciples respond to the stress and chaos of Jesus’ final days in Mark 12:32-72.

In Mark 14:12-31, Jesus shares the Last Supper with His disciples, confronting them with the question: ‘What will happen to your faith when the pressure is on?’

From Mark 14:1-11, Ryan enters the final stretch of the Gospel of Mark, where a story of calculation, scheming, and betrayal unfolds around a beautiful act of extravagant love.

Ryan concludes our Change is Good series with a message for those of us who might be skeptical about the possibility of change because we’ve been stuck for so long. What do we do when we want to change … but don’t feel like we’re changing?
