Relentless Friendship: Meeting the Need Behind the Need

Sermon text: Mark 2:1-12 True friendship is more than meeting each other’s surface needs—it’s rooted in deep compassion that reaches for the heart. While many friendships revolve around mutual support and shared experiences, a true friend sees the greater need: a restored relationship with Jesus. In a world full of barriers, a true friend is relentless in love, courageous in faith, and determined to lead others to the One who brings lasting healing and hope.

His teaching astonishes the crowds, and His power reveals that God’s reign has arrived. Rather than retreating in fear, Jesus presses forward. The call…

But the way forward isn’t to escape the wilderness; it’s to anchor our identity in Christ. Just as Jesus heard the Father say, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased,” we too must receive and rest in the truth that we are deeply loved and fully…

From Failure to Faithfulness

Sermon text: Mark 1, Mark 15Let’s explore the life of John Mark—once a fearful deserter, later a bold gospel writer—as a living testimony of the transforming power of Jesus’ message. Rooted in Mark 1:1, 1:15, and the abrupt ending in Mark 16:8, it challenges us to see that while fear may silence us for a season, the gospel calls us to rise again in faith. Just as Mark moved from failure to faithfulness, we too can be redeemed, restored, and…
