Jesus, the Son of Man
March 5, 2023 • Ronnie Kendall • John 5:19, Mark 8:3, Matthew 8:20, Galatians 3:16, Hebrews 2:15–18

The Gift of the Sabbath
March 12, 2023 • Ronnie Kendall • Mark 3:1–6, Mark 2:22–28
What is the sabbath and why is it important? Most of us know that God created the world and then rested on the seventh day, but why is it important that we take the seventh day as well? Join us as Pastor Ronnie preaches from Mark chapters 2 and 3.
Calm in the Chaos
March 19, 2023 • Chase Snyder • Mark 4:35–41
It's been said that we're always in the middle of a storm, coming out of one, or heading into one. It's in these times that we're told to trust the Lord with our worries, but what does that look like exactly? When the waters rage, how to we maintain perspective? Pastor Chase preaches from Mark 4 where we learn about Jesus calming the waters.
Disappointment and Healing
March 26, 2023 • Ronnie Kendall • Mark 5:25–35
In this sermon, Ronnie will explore the powerful story of the woman with the issue of blood and the faith that led her to reach out to Jesus for healing. We will examine how her active pursuit of Jesus led to her miraculous healing and how her example challenges us to examine our own faith.
Don't Lose Your Compassion
April 16, 2023 • Ronnie Kendall • Mark 6:1–44
Every day we encounter people who think, feel, and live differently than we do. It seems the world is more divided than ever before. So in these conditions, how can we maintain the compassion that Jesus had for others? Pastor Ronnie preaches from Mark 6.
Law of the Pharisees
April 23, 2023 • Ronnie Kendall • Mark 7:1–23
The Pharisees focused on the rule of law. They were motivated by the appearance of righteousness rather than the heart. Jesus had a more radical approach: the heart. Pastor Ronnie explores this concept in Mark 7.
Making Jesus Your Top Priority
April 30, 2023 • Chase Snyder • Mark 8:27–30, Mark 8:34–38
Life is a constant juggling act of balancing priorities, whether it's managing work deadlines, family commitments, or personal goals. As christians we often tell each other to "make Jesus a priority" but it's time we recognize this important truth: Jesus shouldn't be a priority, He should be the priority."
Vision Restored
May 7, 2023 • Tyler Moore • Mark 8:22–26
22 And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.”25 Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.” Mark 8:22-26
Spiritual Maturity & Childlike Faith
May 14, 2023 • Ronnie Kendall • Mark 10:13–16

The Uncomfortable Gospel
May 22, 2023 • Chase Snyder • Mark 11:15–19

The Most Important Thing In Life
May 28, 2023 • Chase Snyder • Mark 12:28–34
What is the most important thing in life? How you answer that question determines how you will live. Jesus actually answers this question with the Greatest Commandment. How well do we love the Lord and love others? In this sermon Chase gives us three practical steps to love God and love others well.
How To Deal With Persecution
June 4, 2023 • Chase Snyder • Mark 13:9–13
It is no secret that following Jesus is becoming more difficult in our culture. Christians are facing persecution more today than anytime in the history of the USA. How should a Christian respond to persecution? In this sermon Chase discusses five questions to consider when being persecuted for your faith so that you are able to stand firm, share the Gospel, and trust in Jesus.
Embracing the Glorious Death of Christ
June 11, 2023 • Joshua Thompson • Mark 14:12–50
Mark teaches that faithful followers of Christ do not fail to humbly embrace His death for them.
Courage and Taking a Stand
June 18, 2023 • Ronnie Kendall • Mark 15:42–47, Luke 23:44–51
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the strength to face it head-on, refusing to let it hinder our pursuit of righteousness. Joseph of Arimathea displayed remarkable courage when he fearlessly approached Pilate to request the body of Jesus after His crucifixion. Despite the potential risks to his own life and reputation, Joseph chose to honor Jesus by providing Him with a dignified burial in his own new tomb. His courageous act reminds us to stand firm in our convictions, even in the face of adversity, and encourages others to do the same.
