November 20, 2022: Mark 10:32–52 - “What Do You Want Me to Do for You?”
Jesus came to save you by giving his life as a ransom for your sins and to call you to imitate him in suffering service. Is that what you want him to do for you?
November 13, 2022: Mark 10:1–31 - “Who Matters to Jesus?”
Jesus tells us the first will be last and the last first. He not only taught this, but modeled it, by becoming a human to save humans. He calls us to follow his example.
November 6, 2022: Mark 10:1–12 - “God’s Design for Human Sexuality”
Who does my body belong to? What is the point of my sexuality? How we answer these two questions will determine our sexual ethic. Jesus gives us a radically counter-cultural answer to them, and in doing so, gives us not a sexual revolution, but a sexual reformation.
October 30, 2022: Mark 9:42–50 - “Don’t Fall Away from Jesus”
As we persevere in following Jesus, God will make us into mature disciples and a united community with a powerful and effective witness to the world around us.

The solution to our suffering is not in this world, but in Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection defeated the agents of human suffering and secured a future free of suffering for all who trust in him.
October 9, 2022: Mark 9:1–13 - “Beholding Jesus”
We are invited to behold Jesus, and in beholding, to become like him.
October 2, 2022: Mark 8:34–38 - “The Life of the World or the Life of the Soul?
Jesus gives us a choice: We can pursue the life of the world at the price of our own soul, or we can abandon the life of the world, follow Christ, and gain the only life that is truly worth living.
September 25, 2022: Mark 8:22–10:52 - “Eyes to See the Suffering King”
True vision leads to true discipleship. Once we see Jesus rightly—as the serving, suffering, sacrificial King—we’ll be ready to get up and follow him on the way of discipleship.
September 18, 2022: Matthew 11:28–30 - “The Yoke of Jesus: Four Pillars for a Life of Rest”
How can we experience subjectively what Christ has accomplished for us objectively? Through imitating the practices of Jesus, including: (1) silence and solitude, (2) sabbath, (3) life together, and (4) simplicity.
September 11, 2022: Hebrews 4:1–11 - “Jesus Invites Us into Rest”
What is the solution to the toil we face in life? To humanity’s loss of rest? It is Jesus Christ. Through faith in him, we are brought back into the rest for which God created us.
September 4, 2022: Ecclesiastes 2:17–23 - “Consigned to Toil”
God created work, but due to Satan’s manipulation, work becomes toil. Now humans denigrate Godly work by either becoming workaholics or avoiding work. The good news is, when God regenerates our hearts, we receive a “new coin” that has Godly work on one side and Godly rest on the other.
August 28, 2022: Genesis 2:2–3 - “Rest: Enjoying God in the Theater of His Glory”

August 21, 2022: Mark 7:1–23 - “The Gospel and the Human Heart”
Human beings aren't morally neutral in need of behavior modification; we are, at our core, corrupt, in need of a new heart.
August 14, 2022: Mark 6:53–8:21 - “The Gospel and Religion”
Jesus didn’t come to bring religion, but gospel—good news. Religion says we work our way to God; gospel says God has come to us. Religion is exclusive; gospel is inclusive. Religion tells us to be good so God will accept us; gospel tells us to be good because God has accepted us.
August 7, 2022: Mark 6:30–52 - "Jesus Gives Satisfaction and Safe Passage”
Only Jesus Christ can bring satisfaction and safe passage through the seas of life and death.
July 24, 2022: Mark 6:1–6 - “Skepticism and Faith”
We must be careful that our familiarity with Christianity doesn't breed skepticism—a posture that is incompatible with the life of faith.
