In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus pulls His followers close for a profound teaching. A widow who gave to God the tiniest offering of the day, actually gave back to Him more than all the others combined. Her act and Jesus' response invites us to wrestle with a significant question: do we love Jesus just enough to give Him our leftovers or are we so captivated by His love that we're willing to offer Him our whole lives?

Christians who think too little of the cross will look too much like the world. It's when we fill our mind and allow our hearts to be melted by the reality of Christ's crucifixion that we are transformed into cross-shaped people whose lives are marked by His love and service. Check out this week's message from Mark 10:32-45.

Rev. Greg Kabkjian, Pastor at Midtown Community Church in Harrisburg, invites us to wrestle with the implications of the grace-soaked Gospel for our finances from Jesus' teaching in Mark 10:13-31.

For many people, this is a tender topic; one we are a bit afraid to actually hear Jesus speak on. But His words (and His heart) are always for us, fighting for our future in Him. In this passage from Mark 10:1-12, Jesus invites us to see the debate about divorce, design for marriage & far deeper concerns Jesus has for all who follow Him.

Every Christian is, in truth, an unbelieving believer. We want to believe, but find so many times when unbelief governs our thoughts or actions. In this week's message, we learn to recognize the signs of unbelief, to evaluate our sources of unbelief, and find the strength to believe grounded in our Savior. Check out the message from Mark 9:17-29.

We are steeped in traditions. Whether learned from our family or culture, politics or church, traditions govern much of how we live our lives so thoroughly that we hardly question them and rarely see them. But followers of Christ are called to a life conformed to His image, aligned with the commands of God not the teachings of humans. In Mark 7:1-23, Jesus invites us to see why it's worth it to evaluate our traditions and always, always choose Him.

Jesus is a Savior who has the authority to delay. He might delay the answer to our question, opening the door we're knocking on or even bringing deeply desired healing. And those delays can be devastating, unless we trust that He has a purpose for every delay and rest in the promises that delays cannot deny. Check out this week's message from Mark 5:21-24, 35-43.

Both the well-respected man and the nameless, virtually unseen woman in Mark 5 are deeply impacted by Jesus' delay. When He stops everything to see, listen to and rename the woman, Jesus reveals HIs compassionate heart and unrelenting commitment to seeing the broken made whole. And those truths will change your life. See why in today's message from Mark 5:21-35.

In Mark 4, the disciples discover that Jesus is more terrifying than any storm they have ever faced, because He is stronger, bigger, fiercer than any wind or wave. And, for that very reason, they also discover the reason they need never fear any storm: He's in the boat with them. Check out this week's message from Mark 4:35-41.

The Lord of the Sabbath has a word for those who fastidiously try to keep all of the rules: you are ruining them and you in the process. He also offers one rule that, if we'll trust Him enough to obey it, will restore what we've ruined. See how in today's message from Mark 2:23-28.

4 men brought their paralyzed friend to the feet of Jesus, stopping at nothing and shoving through every obstacle, because their number one priority was to see him saved from suffering. Imagine their shock, their anger, when Jesus refused to settle for their priority. Instead, He insisted the man most needed salvation from sin. And He says the same for you: rescue from the power and penalty of sin matters more than relief from suffering. How can that be? His priority comes from a greater perspective and priceless prize. Check out this week's message from Mark 2:1-12.

When you look closely at Jesus -- at the claims He makes about Himself and the radical ways he interacts with those on the margins -- you will be left amazed. Amazed because He speaks and acts with an unparalleled authority the kind that forces you to either resign your position as lord of your own life or vehemently rebuke His power over you. Check out this week's message from Mark 1:21-28, 40-42.

Smack in the middle of Mark's recounting of Jesus' life and ministry, we find two juxtaposed stories of blindness. One is physical; the other spiritual. Both men see the world through blurred, broken lenses. And both show us how Jesus delights in healing our vision. Check out this week's message from Mark 8:22-33.
