We are given a few episodes of Jesus very willing to cross the boundaries and propriety to heal people very intimately and with authority.

14d ago34:21

34:21

To preach Jesus is to preach healing.Only Luke records the healing of Malchus’ (ref. John) ear. In a situation where violence could rule the day and evil would “have its hour” Jesus would perform a miraculous healing and restoration on a rather seemingly insignificant body part. But this ‘little’ healing truly highlights the contrast of Kingdoms. J…

14d ago42:05

42:05

“People of color have endured traumatic histories and almost daily assaults on their dignity.” The answer is not in “just getting over it,” or to simply “pray more,” and definitely not in denial or venting in anger/violence. We collectively need to recognize and acknowledge racial trauma and pursue active healing corporately. In fact, all of us, pe…

14d ago46:54

46:54

We are paralyzed by body comparisons, self-loathing, discomfort in our own skin, etc. Some of us have wrestled with eating disorders or attempts to make artificial changes to our appearance.

3M ago30:56

8M ago38:14

38:14

Jesus has a discourse with a rich young ruler. The takeaway in the context of Mark 10 is that the path to eternal life comes via having a child-like wonder and dependance on Christ. What are the “riches” we hold onto that serve as buffers against a deeper journey with Jesus?By RC2 Lynnwood

Where Jesus’ identity is declared with words in the previous chapter, now Jesus is revealed visually in illuminated Glory through the transfiguration.

9M ago32:47

32:47

The center of Mark is Jesus’ question “Who do you say I am” and Peter’s response “you are the Messiah” What is JEsus’ identity. But also, what does this mean? The disciples are caught up to what Mark has already told the reader: Jesus is the Messiah. But then Jesus continues relaying that the Messiah must suffer, die, and rise–which further highlig…

“That which comes from inside us” by Dave Sim || Mark 7 || 01.28.2024 35:58

9M ago35:58

35:58

“Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” It’s not external objects or people that are evil, but that which comes from inside us. Humans can objectify other humans–we judge others based on the outside and the labels we give them. Jesus calls us to be relational and mov…

9M ago42:21

36:49

The Magnificat, or Mary’s Song, is one of four Psalm like songs in Luke 1-2 surrounding the birth narrative of Jesus. Magnificat = my soul magnifies the lord.

28:18

Peter warns us against following false teachers down a path that neglects the call to live in the fullness of the knowledge of God. Through God’s promises, we have been invited to participate in His divine nature! He consistently models for us patience and love for all mankind. As we “intentionally wait” for his return, we are called to set aside s…

"Wait and Be Shaped” by Dave Sim || Isaiah 64:1-9 || 12.03.2023 36:58

11M ago36:58

36:58

The Prophet writes that God “works for those who wait for him.” In a culture of increasingly low attention span and impatience for the “good things that come for those who wait,” intentional waiting (“Hope”) is difficult. We display fidelity and faith when we trust that in time God will shape us into who we really need to be.…

11M ago49:18

49:18

Jesus tells a parable of a sower spreading seed on different ‘soils,’ and later explains the parable in more depth to the disciples. The soil represents the hearer’s receptivity to the Word of God. Good soil produces an abundance of fruit. What does this mean? What kind of soil do you have? Why does Jesus tell parables? What is the secret of the Ki…

"A New Identity, A New Family" by Dave Sim || Mark 3:7-35 || 10.29.2023 43:31

11M ago43:31

43:31

Jesus does not fit into the social expectations surrounding him, but he rather disrupts them and then redefines what it means to have identity and be family in the spirit-filled Kingdom life. The world is messed up and Satan’s behind it, but Jesus flips the script on it all offering everyone new identity and new possibility in his family structure.…

11M ago37:53

37:53

From v13 to the end of the chapter Mark gives us 3 episodes which demonstrate that the Jesus way disrupts the religious status quo.

1y ago40:02

40:02

The first ministry Jesus and his newly appointed disciples encounter is a demon-possessed person. What’s with demons and healing in Mark? Jesus is Savior, and it is the nature of the Savior to go to places where evil has taken over, where the shadow of darkness is sucking life and spirit out of people. Jesus not only proclaims Good News, but He car…

As John is “handed over” for death, the transition now is to Jesus and his ministry: the proclamation of the Good News of the Kingdom, which is near/has come.

Entrenched in a patriarchal society and married to the "Alpha Man," Vashti risks privilege and position and even her life to stand up to power and say "no" to sexual objectification and abuse by her husband. Her refusal upsets the fragility of the male ego which threatens the entire power structure of the Kingdom. We don't know what happens to Vash…
