In this message, our prayer director, Matt Liles teaches on the value of persistent praying. We are praying that God answers your oldest prayer this year. That you will remember it and begin to pray it again and see the faithfulness of God. Though you forgot about it, He did not. Persistence praying is hard, but it pays off big!

Is comfort and joy an escapist pipe dream? Is it possible to experience it when so much sorrow and drama are present? The answer is YES! Joy is not a feeling. It is a condition of our soul. Now that Christ has come, comfort and joy are possible in any circumstance.

In this final message from the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Doug discusses the difference between truly believing in and merely agreeing with the truth. We also talk about the snake handling verse. Did Jesus really say that? Listen and find out!

Mark brings his Gospel to a powerful close by offering us hope, with a challenge. Do you know that the resurrection of Christ extends beyond Easter? It has practical implications for your everyday life!

In Mark 14 & 15 we witness the greatest act of love the world has ever known. God steps in and takes our place, becoming a substitute for us so that if we trust Him, we can escape the wrath and judgment that is rightfully due us.

Jesus redefines what it means to succeed. We think of triumph as overcoming trouble. But here we learn that "Triumphant" means giving all we have even though we have a million reasons to hold back and be selfish. This is the heart of an intimate relationship with Jesus. In religion we are allowed to hold a lot back for ourselves, as long as we check the right boxes. In relationship, we give all, out of love.

Jesus does not allow us to define Who He is and what He has come to do. He defines it for Himself. Will we receive Him as He is, or will we continue to define Him in ways that are comfortable for us?

Today we reach the culmination of Mark's Gospel. Finally, through Divine revelation, the disciples discover that Jesus is indeed, The Messiah. But what about you? Who do you say Jesus is? Your perception of Jesus will change everything about your life.

Many people believe in Jesus, but few people actually follow Him. To follow Him means I believe He is a good leader and Someone worth imitating and learning from. In the first five chapters, Mark demonstrates that Jesus is powerful. In chapter six, Mark shows that Jesus is worth following!

We were made to fear God, but in our fallen condition, we fear everything else but God. Jesus steps into our world and corrects this problem. The most common response people had to Jesus in Mark's Gospel was fear, but in fearing Him, we are drawn into trusting Him because He has focused His power on helping us!

It is easy for us to follow Jesus with wrong motives and find out we are not really following Jesus at all! In Mark 4, Jesus teaches a story designed to expose our hearts and bring us into a deeper connection with Him. This message leaves us thinking about where we stand in relationship with Christ. We hope you are blessed!

You can hate Jesus or love Jesus but you cannot remain neutral in your response to Jesus. He demands a response. In this message, we look at four different typical responses to Jesus and are challenged to evaluate how we will respond to Him.
