Many people are in denial these days, but denial is especially dangerous when it comes to spiritual truth – it's literally a matter of eternal life and death. In Mark 14, we find a couple of different types of denial – the denial of unbelievers, and the denial of a believer. Both are dangerous places to be, and so let's see what we can learn as we study God's Word.
In God's gracious plan of salvation for us, Jesus had to suffer and die. Incredibly, this involved an act of betrayal on the part of one of Christ's own disciples! Many questions emerge about Judas Iscariot, and in this message, we'll examine what the Bible has to say, in this message titled, "The Chosen Betrayer."
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus warned His disciples about what was going to happen to them, but they boasted instead of listening. When Jesus told them to pray, they slept instead. In this Podcast message, we'll take a look at the familiar mistakes we're all prone to making, and how we can avoid them.
In Mark 14, we read of how Jesus instituted communion, on the night before His death. Why did Jesus choose that particular moment? Was Jesus talking about the elements symbolically or literally?

When we look around today as Christians, we find ourselves wondering how much time is left before Jesus returns? And for many of us, the answer seems that there isn't much time left! Some of Christ's disciples were wondering the same thing, prompting them to ask Jesus about the end times. The answer of Jesus gives us helpful insights into these last days in which we're living, and about His soon return. So let's consider the timely words of Jesus together in this message from Mark 13.
In this Father's Day message, we turn to the OT story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22.

But Abraham prevailed by faith, and this story points us to the love of our Father in heaven. Join us for this special message, titled "A Father's Faith."
As someone well said, "People have a right to their opinion, but they don't have the right to be wrong about the facts." The unsaved religious leaders in Jesus' day were wrong about the facts, and wrong about the Scriptures. In this episode, we'll see how Jesus exposes their wrong understanding about the Messiah. So tune in and let's study God's Word together, in a message titled, "Bad Religion."
Trick questions. Deceitful ploys. Underhanded schemes. Such were the tactics of the unsaved religious leaders, especially when it came to their attacks against Jesus. In this message, we'll observe three different questions that the different religious leaders brought to Jesus, and as we'll soon discover, it was all part of one trap. Not surprisingly, Jesus handled it perfectly, and left us lessons for us as well.
Just days before the cross, the religious leaders confronted Jesus at the temple, demanding to know by what authority He had overturned the money-changer tables, and had driven out the animal sellers. But Jesus turned the tables on them, with a question that exposed their hypocrisy and unbelief. There's personal application for us as well, so let's study God's Word together!
During the early part of Passion Week, Jesus encountered a fig tree with no fruit, prompting Him to curse that fig tree, causing it to shrivel up and die. Why would Jesus do that? It was an important lesson for His disciples, and for us as well! Tune in and let's study God's Word together!
What was the purpose of Palm Sunday, and the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, just days before His crucifixion? Why did Jesus ride in on a donkey? Join us in this podcast message as we take a closer look at this important event, under the title, "Great Expectations."
Blindness, whether partial or complete, affects millions of people in the world today. But spiritual blindness affects billions of people, and apart from the gospel and grace of God, leads to eternal darkness. Before meeting Jesus, a man named Bartimaeus was both physically and spiritually blind. But after his encounter, his eyes were opened to God's amazing grace! Let's study his story together, in this message titled, "The Blind Man Who Saw Jesus."
Imagine that you're talking to God in prayer, and Jesus suddenly says to you, "What do you want Me to do for you?" What would your answer be? Hopefully, it would be better than the response of James and John who proceeded to ask Jesus if they could sit on His right and on His left in the kingdom!! Cue the buzzer sound for wrong answer! In this message, Jesus gives us an important lesson on having a servant's heart. Tune in and be encouraged!
In the gospels, Jesus asked, "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and yet loses his soul?' In this message from Mark 10, we meet a man that may not have gained the whole world, but he had great wealth, youth, and position as a ruler. He's commonly referred to as "the rich young ruler." But he was the miserable millionaire. Let's dig into this story to find out what happened, and why, in a message titled, "Rich Man, Poor Man."
In this message, Jesus talks about children, along with having a child-like faith. We'll also tackle some important questions about little children, like what happens to babies that have died?

Warren Wiersbe noted, "People will get married for better or for worse, but not for long!" The opinions today about marriage and divorce are all over the map!

No one in the Bible spoke more about hell than Jesus did, using graphic language to describe it. That's because He loves us, and doesn't want anyone to go there. In the final verses of Mark 9, we'll consider the words of Jesus about sin and hell, in a message titled, "A Very Serious Warning."
Who is the greatest of all-time? That's a popular question when it come to athletes, actors, and singers. But who was the greatest disciple of all-time?

Let's see how Jesus dealt with their pride, and ours as well, in this message from Mark 9.
Have you ever found yourself under spiritual attack soon after experiencing a huge spiritual blessing? It's not uncommon in the life of the believer. Often times, it's an attack from the enemy.

In this podcast message, titled "Back to Reality", we'll learn some lessons to help us in the same types of battles.

In the last 5 verses of Mark 8, we find a pinnacle of teaching from Jesus - about what it truly means to follow Him.

Those are so many cherished characteristics of Jesus - His holiness, love, grace, and mercy to name a few. In this podcast message, we'll focus in on the compassion of Jesus.
