God is Doing Something New...

and we invite you to join us on this journey. Our main task, from now 'til eternity is to individually and as a community, hear from God and walk in obedience to what is heard. This is a big claim, to hear from the God of the universe and have the power to obey, but it is the claim by which we live and hold fast. If you are looking for a fresh touch from God, the Go

d of Love, Peace, Joy, and Truth, in a family of believers earnestly seeking His face, join us.

In this powerful passage, Jesus faces opposition from every direction. The crowds press in, His own family misunderstands Him, and the religious leaders go so far as to attribute the work of the Holy Spirit to the powers of darkness. Yet Jesus responds by revealing a profound truth: God's Kingdom advances not by human strength, influence, or religious effort, but by the power of His Spirit.

When God's Spirit is at work, we can either receive it, resist it, or mislabel it. The religious leaders chose resistance. Jesus invites us to choose faith.

📖 Scripture: Mark 3:20–35
🔥 Series: The Gospel of Mark
🕊️ Title: Not by Might... But by My Spirit!
❓ Focus: Recognizing the Work of God's Spirit

Join us as we discover why the Kingdom of God cannot be built through human strength alone, and why learning to recognize the Spirit's work is essential to following Jesus.

The opposition to Jesus is growing, but so is His mission.

In this passage, crowds gather from every direction, demons recognize His authority, and Jesus calls twelve ordinary men to be His disciples. Before He sends them out, He first calls them to Himself.

📖 Scripture: Mark 3:6–19
🔥 Series: The Gospel of Mark
👥 Focus: Calling, Discipleship, and Being With Jesus

Join us as we discover that the first calling of every disciple is not to do something for Jesus, but to be with Him.

In Part 8 of our journey through the Gospel of Mark, Jesus confronts a religious system that had lost sight of its purpose. What was designed to bring rest, renewal, and life had become rigid, burdensome, and disconnected from the people it was meant to bless.

Many of us live as though our value is measured by our productivity, performance, and ability to keep everything together. Jesus offers a different way. He invites us to bring our weariness, our brokenness, and even the parts of ourselves that no longer seem to work and stretch them out before Him.

📖 Scripture: Mark 2:23–3:6
🔥 Series: The Gospel of Mark
👑 Focus: Rest, Mercy, and the Authority of Jesus
❓ Big Question: Have you organized your faith around a system or around the Savior?

Join us live as we discover the Jesus who sees beyond rules to the people they were meant to serve, who restores what is broken, and who offers the kind of rest our souls have been searching for.

Because when you truly recognize Jesus as Lord, it changes not only how you worship, but how you live.

In Part 7 of our journey through the Gospel of Mark, Jesus calls Levi, a tax collector despised by his community, to follow Him. Then He does something even more shocking: He sits at Levi's table, eats with his friends, and publicly defends them.

The religious leaders can't understand it. Why would a holy man associate with people like that?

Jesus' answer reveals the heart of His mission:

“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

The question isn't just whether Jesus can save people like Levi.

The question is whether we're willing to welcome the people Jesus welcomes.

📖 Scripture: Mark 2:13–22
🔥 Series: The Gospel of Mark
🍷 Focus: Grace, Belonging, and the New Thing God Is Doing
❓ Big Question: Are you holding onto an old wineskin, or are you ready for what Jesus is doing now?

Join us live as we discover a Savior who calls the unlikely, sits at controversial tables, and invites us into a Kingdom far bigger than we imagined.
