    Lord, help our unbelief! Join pastor Brian Pursley as he preaches from Mark 9:2-29, including the stories of the transfiguration of Jesus and the healing of the demon-possessed boy.

    Who do you say I am? Join pastor Brian Pursley as he recounts the tale of Jesus' famous interaction with Peter from Mark chapter 8. The world may call our Savior one thing or another, but our reply to this question must match that of Apostle Peter: You are the Christ!

    Growing: Part 5
    Jul 14 2024
    God's ways are so much greater than our ways. We become dependent on ourselves and our own abilities, and are driven by the idea that we have to reach our full potential. Join Pastor Brian Pursley as we investigate Jesus withdrawing himself away from everything in the wilderness for 40 days. Spend time praying within isolation. Create spiritual discipline, by finding a place where you can be in that isolation everyday. God frequently communicates with us, and sometimes it's very obvious. More often than not though, he is more subtle and whispers. Create a space where you can hear that.

    Oh Lord, give us clean hands and pure hearts! Join pastor Brian Pursley as he discusses the traditions, rituals, and true holiness found in Mark 7:1-23. God wants His children to sincerely honor Him in their hearts, and not praise Him with their lips only. We should pay heed to the lesson Jesus gives His disciples, and never place the outward appearance of holiness over the purity of our hearts and minds.

    What do you do when you're stuck? Join Pastor Brian Pursley as he discusses Mark 2 and shares how the experiences of the paralytic and those who carried him relate to our own, why the miraculous healing of his body wasn't the most important healing he'd experience, why we should be eager to share our stories and experiences of what God has done in our lives, and how the fact that Jesus came for the sick should impact our lives and the way we view the world.
