This sermon begins our journey through the Gospel of Mark. Mark’s approach was to record specific conversations and events from Jesus’s life to create a picture like a collage. He wanted to provide enough evidence from episodes of Jesus’ life to help people understand the real Jesus, and that he was the Messiah.

David Comstock
November 6, 2022
As we look at the life of Jesus told by Mark, we see several aspects of Him. He is the great physician, is consistently prayerful and joyfully purifying. He is all these things while being astonishingly personal.
The Gospel of Mark #5: Opposition Intensifies
Shawn Peterson
November 20, 2022
The major theme in Jesus’ ministry is introduced in Mark 2:12-3:6; He offers the Gospel and which is offensive to the self-righteous but delightful to the humble.
The Gospel of Mark #6: Living life with Jesus
Nick Jones
November 27, 2022
As Jesus’ popularity grows, and the conflict with the Pharisees deepens, Mark begins to distinguish the fans of Jesus from His true followers. Through looking at the lives of the disciples, we’ll see that true followers of Jesus live in a way that reflects their nearness to Him.
The Gospel of Mark #7: Defeating the Strong Man
David Comstock
January 1, 2023
Jesus, the one God promised would bring salvation to the world, is here! When we see Jesus for who he really is and surrender our lives to his will, our hearts will experience true freedom and find real rest.
The Gospel of Mark #8: The Kingdom of God Explained
Shawn Peterson
January 8, 2023
Mark 4 begins Act 2 of Jesus’s ministry. After 16 months, people are confused. They had expectations of what the Kingdom of God would be like but Jesus is not conforming to their expectations. To bring clarification, he shared 4 parables. His explanation was about power that brings dead hearts to life.

We understand what it feels like to be terrified by a storm, whether a literal storm or a “storm of life.” In Mark 4:35-41, Jesus shows the disciples that He sees the storm but calmly and sovereignly rules over it all.
The Gospel of Mark #10: Demons and Divine Power
Shawn Peterson
January 22, 2023
According to the Bible, there are demons on earth, bent on destruction and it’s a reality in the Kingdom of God. Demonic forces are the opposition but Jesus has full and eternal power over demonic forces.
The Gospel of Mark #11: The Timing, Power, and Heart of the Real Jesus
Shawn Peterson
January 29, 2023
What’s the significance of all the details described in Mark 5:21-43? It points to the fact that it really happened and it’s included as an account of the life of Jesus. People often create their own version of Jesus and Mark wants them to know the real Jesus.
The Gospel of Mark #12: Faith and The Power for Life with God
David Comstock
February 5, 2023
In Mark 6, we look at the relationship between faith and life with God. The people in Jesus’ hometown did not experience the fullness of what Jesus had to offer them because of their lack of faith. Faith is believing that Jesus is who He says He is and possesses supernatural power.
The Gospel of Mark #13: Herod’s Inner Turmoil
Shawn Peterson
February 12, 2023
In Mark 6:14-29, we see Herod was close in proximity to Jesus yet remained distant in his heart because he was unwilling to surrender to Jesus. Sin promised Herod everything but only delivered inner turmoil. Jesus offers abundant, eternal, and joy-filled life to anyone who will surrender to Him.
The Gospel of Mark #14: Jesus is the Good Shepherd
Shawn Peterson
February 19, 2023
In Mark 6:30-44, Jesus looked at the huge crowd and as the Good Shepherd, He saw they were like harassed sheep. They were anxious, afraid, discontent, lonely, confused, and heartbroken. Through his teaching, He showed them that heart satisfaction is only possible when a person receives the Gospel.
The Gospel of Mark #15: Jesus Brings His Glory Near
Nick Jones
February 26, 2023
In the last part of Mark 6, Jesus walked on water and showed the disciples a side of Him they had not yet experienced. He did this to show His glory, character, and nature are no longer far off. He has brought them near to us.
The Gospel of Mark #16: What Makes a Person Clean?
Shawn Peterson
March 5, 2023
In Mark 7, Jesus addressed a universal question of humanity – “what truly removes a person’s guilt?” In His interaction with the Pharisees, Jesus said nothing they do will ever work because it doesn’t change a person’s heart. The only way to remove guilt is to let Jesus take it away.
The Gospel of Mark #17: The Kingdom is for Everyone
Nick Jones
March 12, 2023
In Mark 7:24-37, Jesus revealed through His interactions with two Gentiles that the Kingdom of God reaches farther than we can imagine, and has effects greater than we can dream.
The Gospel of Mark #18: Still Confused
Shawn Peterson
March 19, 2023
In Mark 8:1-21, the disciples are confused. Their lack of understanding revealed a problem in their hearts. The disciples had it, the Pharisees had it, and we have it. The heart of every human has sin growing within and the only way to deal with it is to repent and believe the Good News.
