Authentic Christianity has never been about how put together we seem to be.  It's always been about how God works powerfully through our shortcomings to accomplish His purposes for us.  So, what does it look like to live in light of the Kingdom of God?  In this series, Pastor Rich Villodas descibes how opening ourselves up in genuine relationships with others invites the power of Jesus to shine through our weaknesses.  We don't have to clean up our weaknesses before God and others--we invite them in.

We grow in Christ as we seek Him together.  Jesus' own pattern of disciple-making was to be intimately involved with others and allow life to rub against life.  By gathering in twos or threes to study the Bible and encourage one another, we most closely follow Jesus' example with the twelve disciples.

This study by Greg Ogden is a tool designed to help you follow this pattern Jesus drew for us.  Working through it will deepen your knowledge of essential Christian teaching and stregthen your faith.

The Gospel of Mark chronicles Jesus's journey from Galilee to Jerusalem.  Along the way, the Messiah gathers a ragged band of disciples.  As crowds grow and dwindle on the road to Jerusalem, only a few stick by the suffering Savior on the road of discipleship.

In this 11-part series on the Gospel of Mark, author and speaker Francis Chan invites us to walk with him along the ancient ways of the Master.  Tracing the steps of Jesus and the Twelve through Israel, Francis explores the major themes of the Gospel of Mark, and asks:  Are we willing to take this journey to embrace discipleship?
