What could be more solid and reassuring than a stone building whose beauty was unsurpassed and whose significance united an entire people under God? So when Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in Mark 13, his listeners were forced to re-evaluate where their trust and confidence was placed. For those of us listening today, where does true security come from? Hint: it’s not the places where we typically seek first. Listen in with Paul Trimble to hear more.

Wouldn’t life be easier if we knew how our lives would turn out? Worrying about the future is something that comes all too naturally for us as people. When Mark wrote the account of Jesus that bears his name, it appears he wrote a cliffhanger ending. How things would turn out wasn’t clear or obvious, and neither is it in our lives. The outcome is largely up to us, and depends on how we answer the question about who Jesus is; listen in as Jamie Robbins concludes this series of the book of Mark.

A few days after Hurricane Irma bombarded Florida with floodwaters, Bright Meyer kayaked through his home’s front door. What does this have to do with the events recorded in Mark 15? Everything. Listen in to this message as Bright reminds us what a true home is like, and how the message of the cross can keep bringing us back to that reality.
Mark 14
September 3, 2017 • Paul Trimble
How do you handle stress, adversity, and conflict? Cower in a corner? Put up your dukes? Run for safety? Everybody has their own way of handling difficult times. In Mark 14, Jesus shows a different way. Those around him all faltered in one way or another, much as we do. Yet Jesus, under the most intense pressure imaginable, perfectly handled the perfect storm. In this message, we look at how and why He did so, what we can learn from Him, and marvel at his choices that made it possible for us to follow in his footsteps in our times of difficulty.
