Part 43: The Greater Gift

January 28, 2024 • Brian Stanley • Isaiah 9:7, Jeremiah 23:5, Mark 12:35–44, Psalm 110:1, 2 Samuel 7:12

Give

The philanthropy and spending exploits of the world’s billionaires’ pales by all comparison to the most famous of givers ever documented in human history. The poor widow from Mark’s gospel, whom according to Jesus gave not out of her abundance, but out of her lack – spending everything she owned to express love and obedience to her creator.

Part 51: The One Jesus Didn't Save

March 24, 2024 • Brian Stanley • 2 Corinthians 5:21, Mark 15:21–41, Hebrews 10:19–20, 1 Peter 2:24

As Jesus hung upon the sinner’s cross, people ridiculed His inability to perform one more miracle and escape His death. The greatest miracle of Jesus’ ministry was His commitment to forsake salvation from the cross so that we could experience salvation by the cross.

Part 54: It's News Too Good to Keep to Ourselves

April 7, 2024 • Brian Stanley • Mark 16:9–20

Few Christians realize that at the end of Mark’s gospel, we have something scandalous in our Bibles. The text (vv.9-20) is not the words of the original author – someone has tagged on their own ending! Join us for our series finale as Pastor Brian unpacks the controversy and reiterates the inspiration, inerrancy, and reliability of the Word of God while we unpack the mystery and consider what we, as believers today, can take away from the ending of Mark’s gospel.

Good Friday | Part 52: High and Lifted Up

March 29, 2024 • Brian Stanley • John 19:38–42, Luke 23:50–51, Mark 15:42–47, Matthew 27:57, John 12:32

When followers of Jesus sought to care for the body of Jesus, Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus died so early in the process. Scripture teaches us not only why He died so early but also why He died so willingly. No sooner had Christ died than the effects of His great sacrifice would immediately spread as men became convinced that Christ was indeed the Son of God.
