Jesus encourages His followers to pray persistently to God as He delights to hear and answer our prayers. The story of the friend at midnight illustrates how much the Good Father is ready to give blessings to those who ask, seek and knock on heaven's door. Let's do it!

The Parable of the Lamp
May 31, 2020 • Pastor Mark Geer • Mark 4:21–25
In a world where we are constantly bombarded with news cycles, information in the digital age, and the demand of social media, as well as easy access to thousands of churches and sermons online, it is easy to become distracted when it comes to truly hearing the message of God's Word. As a result, many Christians can be tempted to become sloppy and/or disengage from truly living and sharing their faith and the message of the gospel. Jesus challenges us in today's text to be both a lamp that shines and a hearer that is aggressively engaged in sharing the truth.
The Parable of the Divided Kingdom
May 24, 2020 • Pastor Mark Geer • Mark 3:1–35
What is the unpardonable sin? Is it real? Can people still commit it today? Is it truly unforgivable? Answers to these and more questions will be addressed in today's message as we explore the blasphemous accusations of the religious leaders against Jesus and the lack of logic behind them in Jesus' teaching of the Parable of the Divided Kingdom.
The Parables of The Bridegroom, The Cloth & The Wineskins
May 17, 2020 • Pastor Mark Geer • Mark 2:18–22
Jesus uses a trilogy of parables in Mark chapter 2 that point to the significance of why Jesus came to earth. He is the Bridegroom of the Church and He came to fulfill the Old Testament law, symbols, types, shadows and prophecies that pointed to the Messiah and establish a New Testament based on grace and truth. Today we must all make a choice as to which Testament we will choose to live by. The Old is fraught with legalism, judgementalism and condemnation. The New is filled with life, liberty, freedom, grace and forgiveness.
