Concerning Jesus: Mark Chapter 13 May 06, 2024

Show notes

Mark Chapter 13 is considered by some to be one of the most debated passages of Mark. He reminded us that in our crazy world, it is easy to be distracted by the news and everything circulating, and become anxious and fearful; however, we must BE ON GUARD, filtering everything through our prayers, the Word of God, waiting and worshipping.

Concerning Jesus: Mark Chapter 12 Apr 28, 2024

Show notes

In Mark 12, Jesus faces three questions meant to trap him - about paying taxes, marriage and resurrection, and the most important commandment. His responses emphasize giving to both God and Caesar, with a focus on love for God and neighbor as the greatest commandment. Jesus warns against hypocrisy, highlights the sacrificial love of a poor widow, and emphasizes the need for total commitment and surrender to God. The teaching underscores the importance of love as the guiding principle for discipleship, challenging followers to prioritize love over external displays of religiosity and trust in God above all else.

Concerning Jesus: Mark Chapter 8 Mar 31, 2024

Show notes

There is a pivotal moment in Mark Chapter 8 where Peter identifies Jesus as the Messiah, and the subsequent call to discipleship. The significance of recognizing Jesus for who He truly is, leads us to a two-step process: First, there is an invitation to salvation through acknowledging and responding to Jesus as Savior. Second involves a commitment to discipleship by denying oneself, taking up the cross, and following Jesus.
Take a listen as Pastor Aaron as he leads through core beliefs and actions required to truly understand and follow Jesus. There is an invitation to begin, or continue, a life journeying with Jesus.
