This week our prayer pastor, Geannine Lebude spoke from Ephesians 6: Today I want to look at how we are called to stand, through trial, accusation, disease, and even death.

Mark Bible Study: Mark 8:31-33 “Rebuked”
Our last study closed with Peter’s confession, “You are the Christ”. All of the book of Mark had built to that moment, everything that Mark wrote, the way that He described Jesus’ words and works was all to bring us to the moment where we recognize that He is indeed the Messiah. From the moment...

The Pharisees watched Jesus closely with an eye of accusation to see if they could find something He would do wrong, Jesus looked at the man...
