Jesus calls Bartimaeus before he heals him. Often we wait to respond to God’s call on our life until after we feel perfect, perfected, healed and worthy, but Bartimaeus immediately responded to Jesus’ calling before receiving his healing and then he joined Jesus where Jesus was going. This is beautiful interaction is an example for…

Jesus experienced a change on the mountaintop, but his change was external only while for the disciples with him their change was internal and not external. The mountaintop experiences you have in worship and other places, should result in you being changed for life in the valley.

Jesus calls everyone who follows him to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow him. But Jesus’ cross is not the romanticized version that we know of today. Jesus’ cruciform way is all about losing one’s life for the sake of Jesus.

Sometimes Jesus calms storms, sometimes Jesus calms hearts, sometimes Jesus does both…but we can go through all the storms of life when we focus completely on Jesus.

Whether you want to reach out and touch Jesus or be touched by Jesus, Jesus’ touch is a healing touch and he always meets you where you are.

Jesus is found sleeping on the boat in the midst of the storm while his disciples struggle to keep the boat floating! What the disciples forgot was that Jesus promised to get him to the other side. If Jesus is in your boat, your boat is not going to sink!

We tend to label everything, but the problem with labels is that they limit our definitions of what people could be or ought to be. Jesus took the labels that were put upon him and redefined them for kingdom purposes.

Jesus chooses the most unlikely of people to be a part of his team. Reggie Byrd explains why and how you too can be part of Jesus’ unhinged plan for redeeming unlikely people.

We often live our lives paralyzed by un-forgiveness. Jesus tells the paralytic that his sins are forgiven and to rise up and walk. We too need to get up out of our paralyzed state and live into the forgiveness Jesus provides for us.

Guest Speaker Pastor Tim Walk brings a message from Mark 1:25-39 as we see Jesus sneaking away fro rest at just the time he should be capitalizing on his newfound fame…he has come unhinged!
