Who Do You Say I Am? – Week 1

Sometimes we treat Jesus and His Word like the grocery store sample tables. We pick and choose what we want to satisfy ourselves all the time knowing that we’re not really interested in “buying in.” After all Jesus’ call to follow him involves a cross, sacrifice and death. Pretty radical stuff. Like who does he think he is? But John Mark in his gospel turns that question on its head. A question that flows through the book, from beginning to the end. It’s the…

The Gospel of Mark – Chronicles of a Disciple

We’ve just completed a hard hitting, in-your-face study of the Book of James. Now we’ll shift our attention to the journals of a man who knew the disciples as a boy and journeyed as a young man with Barnabas and Paul. We’ll spend the rest of the summer studying the chronicles of a disciple, John Mark, and what is probably the first written of the Gospels. His book is fast moving and has the feel of a news report (just the facts please). But there…

Lots happening right now. Keep praying. Decisions that are being made now will set the direction for NineSevenZero Church for the next couple years. Pray that we will hear and have the courage to follow God’s will for us.

There’s No Place Like Home

It’s then you realize that time and distance doesn’t change that. Recently I was writing an email and asked the…
