This sermon explores the idea of rethinking our personal narratives in the context of the larger, overarching story of redemption and eternal life through Christ, as depicted in the Gospel of Mark.

The sermon explores the concept of Jesus' statement "it is finished" on the cross, emphasizing that it was not a declaration of defeat, but a proclamation of victory over sin and death.
When Jesus said “it is finished”, as He hung on the cross, He gave up His spirit and He died. To many, this may have seemed like a defeat. The Evil One thought he had finished Jesus. The Roman soldiers thought they had finished Jesus. The religious elite thought that they had finished Jesus. ...read more

It’s the application that counts. Yes Jesus is one with the Father, but now that we are in Christ we should be like him in our WORDS AND WORKS. This is what authenticates our prayers "in Jesus name."
We have a saying around our house that we use whenever one of the kids are acting like their parents; “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Of course one of our children likes to point out that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree unless the tree is at the top of a hill.” Our kids are ...read more
