John Vermilya // January 13, 2019 How quickly we forget what God has done. In this passage, Jesus asks the question, “don’t you remember?”. He asked it to the disciples and he’s asking it to us. Spiritual amnesia is failing to remember what God has done. This message urges us to remember!  

John Vermilya // January 6, 2019 Jesus actions in this passage raise questions as they are out of the norm even for Him. First, Jesus goes to Tyre and Sidon, visiting the Decapolis outside the Jewish boundaries of Israel. Secondly, He calls a Gentile woman a dog before granting her faith-filled request in delivering her…

John Vermilya // December 30, 2018 We live in a culture of blame instead of taking responsibility for our sins. Jesus doesn’t negate the importance of God’s law, but is pointing to the fact that we need to change from the inside out. The warning for us is to not miss the point.  

John Vermilya // December 23, 2018 When we recognize Jesus for who He really is, and realize our need of Him, it follows that we must respond to the God that comes into the midst of our circumstances. This passage is a picture of the incarnation with the Gospel on display.  

John Vermilya // December 15, 2018 In this message we cover the feeding of the 5,000, which along with the Resurrection, are the only miracles recorded in all four Gospels. The miracle is an awesome display of Jesus’ creative and awesome power, and there’s profound applications for us today.  

John Vermilya // December 9, 2018 Rejection is at the heart of human experience, and the three stories in this week’s passage all deal with some form of it.  

John Vermilya // December 2, 2018 This passage of Mark urges us to bring everything to Jesus in humble faith, believing real life awaits and that He knows and cares. He doesn’t miss a thing.  

John Vermilya // November 25, 2018 Without God we are all tormented, dangerous, and alienated. Some of us prefer Jesus stay away because of our fear of being exposed to His power. When our lives are changed by Jesus, however, we are called to go and tell others all He has done for us.  

John Vermilya // November 17, 2018 Jesus didn’t come to calm storms and show off power. Jesus’ mission was to save souls, and the storm was an opportunity for the disciples to meet God. The storms of life are also an opportunity for us to meet God.  

Tim Burgess // November 11, 2018 When we hear the phrase “Kingdom of God” often times what we think of is Heaven. The Kingdom of God is so much larger than this, and God wants us to be a part of His Kingdom building process.
