“A Fig Tree & Temple Cleansing” Mark 11:12-25

Jesus does his last miracle in Mark and it’s one of destruction.  What’s up with that?  Then he goes and becomes the temple bouncer.  What kind of lessons can we learn from these stories about following Jesus?

“Follow The Leader” Mark 8:31-38; 9:30-37; 10:32-45

Jesus spends some intentional time with the disciples challenging their paradigms and preconceptions about Jesus.  What does it mean to follow the leader?  What we think and believe about Jesus determines how we serve Him and live out our lies for Him.

“He Has Done All Things Well”—Mark 7:24-37

 Jesus engages a worried woman in an unforgettable conversation, and his replies seem a bit out of character.  Or are they? Then Jesus returns to the Decapolis to heal a man in some unconventional ways, that leaves the crowd to say, “He has done everything well."

“The Lesson of the Loaves”—Mark 6:30-52

 Jesus and his disciples need some rest but can’t find.  He does find a few thousand people who are like “sheep without shepherds” and He feeds their souls and bodies.  Following the miracle, the disciples get caught in another storm, but Jesus shows up doing what only God could do (Job 9:8).

Jesus’ ministry continues to grow.  He calls a new disciple and controversy ensues because of who Jesus is reclining and eating with.  More altercations follow as Jesus seems (at least to the religious leaders) to violate the Sabbath—the heart of orthodox observance.  Enemies become friends in order to destroy Jesus.  Get “On Your Mark”.

Episode 2:  A Day in the Life…

An entire day is captured for us in the life of Jesus.  Jesus goes to church, heals people, casts out demons, and demands their silence.  He doesn’t just claim authority, He proves it.  A leper is healed but cannot follow the simple instructions of Jesus.  WHY? These and other questions are discussed in this episode of “On Your Mark.”

A "rule of life" or "rhythm of life" is simply a set of practices or a structure we create to help us consistently create space in our busy lives to experience God's presence and love. In a perfect world, we would all have the self-control to maintain deep relationship with Jesus all the time, but unfortunately we lose our way fairly often. A rule of life is like a trellis in a vineyard guiding the vine to growth - the guidance assists you in practicing the Way of Jesus and growing in relationship with Him. 

Join us for a series of conversations discussing the practicalities of creating and maintaining a rule of life!

“A Preview of Things to Come”  2 Samuel 8-10 has David riding some highs.  He’s on a roll militarily; he’s at his best in offering “hesed” to others. But things don’t always go the way he wishes.   There are some curious actions where David displays some slippage of his heart. Give a listen & enjoy!
