Son of God

It’s easy to miss the significance of a moment if you don’t understand the symbolism. In this talk, Ben Stuart continues our series in the Gospel of Mark by explaining the significance and rich symbolism of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem in Mark 11. We see that Jesus is the true King that can bring transformation— not just in biblical times, but in our lives today too.

With greater commitment comes greater intimacy. In this message, Ben Stuart explores the moment in Mark where the disciples acknowledge who Jesus is. There comes a point in our journey with Jesus where we all must take steps to define the relationship. Following Jesus will cost us everything, but it’s always worth it.

Jacob Harkey walks us through an encounter between Jesus and the Pharisees about the meaning of defilement. Jesus makes it abundantly clear that there is something wrong inside of every person that we cannot fix on our own: a sinful heart. How can our hearts be made clean?

The Feeding of the Five Thousand is a monumental moment in Jesus’ ministry, and it’s the only miracle recorded in all four of the Gospels. In this talk, Ben Stuart shows us how this miraculous moment reveals the proclamation of the King, the people of the King, and the priorities of the King.

When we take time to understand the Gospels, it changes us, and it changes the whole world! Have you ever wondered why Jesus chose to teach in parables or how His parables resonate with our lives today? In this talk, Ben Stuart explains Jesus’ use of parables in Mark 4 and teaches us how parables are an invitation to understand the heart of Jesus and His message.

How do we make sense of the impact Jesus had on history and our lives today? We all must come to a conclusion on who He is. Landon Lacy shows us three claims made about Jesus in the Gospel of Mark and what it means for us today.

Who is Jesus? If we want to be challenged, convicted, and transformed into who we are meant to be, we must meet the real Jesus. Ben Stuart continues our series, Son of God, and teaches us about who Jesus says that He is in the Gospel of Mark.

Ben Stuart guides us through the Gospel of Mark. We believe Jesus is the Centerpiece of the human story and the Hero of our story, and our lives will be transformed as we set our minds on Him.

Thomas Barr takes us through the middle of Mark’s Gospel, where Jesus answers the question, “Why did he come?” On three separate occasions, Jesus answers clearly: He came to die. In each death prediction, Jesus explained to his followers what it would look like to be a disciple: self-denial, service, and suffering.

The longing inside of every human heart is to grow in intimacy with God and belong to His family. But how can that happen? In this talk, Ben Stuart looks at two different encounters Jesus has in Mark 10 and shows us what He says about who will enter the kingdom of Heaven.

Our ability to withstand and operate under pressure is not dependent on gratitude; it’s dependent on hope. In this talk, Ben Stuart teaches from Mark 13:1-37. Despite the confusing nature of this text, it was written by Mark to bring hope to the people of his day, and it still brings hope to us today! We can take comfort in knowing that life will be hard, but there is hope in the midst of it.

Why did the religious, political, and cultural leaders want to kill meek and mild Jesus? In this talk, Ben Stuart teaches us through Mark 11 and shows us how Jesus confronted the leadership of His nation, challenged the people of His day on the nature of true religion, and revealed what God still wants from us today.
