What's He Like? Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 15, 2006

Read or quote Mark 6. It is tempting in this study to jump to Matthew and Luke for a broader perspective on these events recorded in Mark. I have purposely resisted doing that so far, so that Mark can tell the gospel to us himself and we can see Jesus with his witness. What happens when we ...read more

Palm Sunday 2013 Series

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Mar 3, 2014

Religion is at war with Jesus and always has been and always will be. Religion is not necessarily faith. Religion is often the construct of human beings a system we develop and devise with all kinds of rules and teaching that are from men and not from God. This is what Jesus opposed.
