We start out new preaching series through Joshua and Judges, as we take a look at a generation who served God wholeheartedly, and somehow the generation to come after them didn’t know God. What changed? What got lost? How can we be different?
We are called to be co labourers with Christ, following close behind Him, being watchful, looking for when we can assist Him.
This week, as we journey through the book of Mark, we’ll unpack the way of Jesus and discover why our devotion to Him must always remain our highest priority.
Together, we see how Jesus answers one of life’s toughest questions, and what that means for us today: that we are called to listen attentively, receive His words deeply within us, and respond with immediate obedience.
The way of Jesus isn’t simply something to admire—it’s something to follow.
Are our lives fruitful and useful for the kingdom of God, or have we become like the fig tree in Mark 11 that gives no fruit?
Worship isn’t just about singing, it is a lot more than that, worship is about intimacy with Jesus and allowing Him to minister into our lives. When we seek Him, He reveals himself to us.
Jesus was obedient, even to the point of death on a cross, where He laid down His life for us so that we could be reconciled to God through the sacrifice that Jesus made. Then, on the third day, He rose again as the victorious King, defeating the curse of sin and death.
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
We cannot become so religious that our walk with Jesus becomes all about what we can do, rather than about being obedient to Him, spending time with Him, being thankful, slowing down, and paying attention to what He is doing.
Do we know who Jesus is, even when our situations change?
Jesus was interrupted on His way to Jairus’s house to heal Jairus’s daughter by the woman with the issue of blood.
