Romans 13:8-14 The Law and Love
In the context of discipleship, Paul teaches us that the perfect Law of God is fulfilled in us when we express the love of God toward one another. Whether we are the victims, or have been the victimizer, our responsibility before God is to love.
Mark 10:46-52 Blind Bartimaeus
The last healing miracle miracle recorded in Mark, Jesus heals Bartimaeus, the blind man. Strange, how a blind man could recognize Jesus as the Messiah. Join us for this unique healing.
Romans 13:1-7 Consent of the Governed
Pastor John gives a detailed exposition of this passage that is most likely different than any heard before (unless you have been with us for a while). Because the United States of America is unlike any Nation in history, this passage is understood differently.
Mark 10:41-45 Another Lesson on the Greatest
It seems, to us, that the disciples just don’t get it. Who is the greatest in the Kingdom? Here we go again.
Romans 12:14-21 Normal, Expected Christian Behavior
These verses present what the normal Christian life should look like. Why is it so hard?
Romans 12:9-13 Legitimate Expectations
Because we wear the name of God, He has legitimate expectations of how we conduct our lives. The transformation of the mind will produce the character to actually live out these expectations.
Mark 10:17-31 What Must I Do To Inherit Eternal Life?
This young man who came to Jesus asking about eternal life had several misconceptions; many today struggle with the same misconceptions.

The Pharisees ask Jesus about divorce.
Romans 12:3-5 The Grace Given To You
Paul has concluded the doctrinal section; he has urged the disciples in Rome to be transformed in their thinking. Now he discusses things of first importance in renewing the mind.
Mark 9:38-50 Humble and Selfless
After the argument about who is the greatest in the Kingdom, and the reproof by Jesus, now the disciples inform Jesus they rebuked a man who was casting out demons, but he was “not one of us.” Looks like they haven’t learned much.
