I Will Make You Fishers of Men
“To a die hard fisherman hunting is like shooting fish in a barrel.” I love fishing and hunting and while they have their similarities there are differences.

But when it comes to the Kingdom, I’m glad Jesus said to His disciples that He would make them “fishers of men” and not “hunters of men”. Just the idea of “hunters of men” brings mental…
There’s Something Irresistible About Live Bait

There is no substitute for real life. Many times in our culture we (not the corporate church) are the most effective and productive connection…

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…
