Refuel Students

When we think of someone being ultimate, we usually picture dominance, power, fame—people serving them. Not someone bending down, washing feet. Not someone staying silent while being mocked. Not someone willingly taking the punishment meant for someone else.That's not how greatness is supposed to work… right?But in Mark 15, Jesus redefines “ultimate.”Not with a shiny gold crown—but with a crown of thorns.Not by winning a fight—but by surrendering to the cross.Not by being served—but by serving us, in the most extreme way possible.Jesus is the Ultimate Servant.Join us at Refuel as we dive into Mark 15:1-38.Click here for the message notes.

You go through hard things in life. Some of you are dealing with tough situations right now. The only thing worse than going through a difficult season is going through a difficult season all by yourself.This week, we'll see Jesus face the hardest night of his life without any human support. Those who were supposed to be there for Jesus deserted him, and he faced the cross alone. You may be lonely, and wonder if God really understands what you're going through. Tonight, be comforted in knowing that Jesus knows what it's like to be lonely.We're in Mark 14:27-72 this week.For the message notes, click here.

Join us for Refuel tonight! In this powerful message from Mark 14:12-26, we dive deep into the final meal Jesus shared with His disciples and discover how His passion for us fuels our passion to serve others.

Talking about “the end of the world” might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie or a conspiracy TikTok. Why are we even talking about this? It's giving apocalypse vibes, not Good Friday prep. But here's the deal—Jesus is the one who brought it up.On a Wednesday night, just two days before He went to the cross, Jesus sat down with His disciples and talked about the end times. Not to scare them… but to prepare them.Life gets hard. It gets messy. But every bit of pain, confusion, and chaos we face today points to a bigger story—a day when we'll see Jesus face to face and everything wrong will finally be made right.So don't tune out. Don't freak out. Let the words of Jesus remind you that no matter how wild the world gets, Jesus is still in control. And if you belong to Him, your future is secure.We'll be in Mark chapter 13 this week.Click here for the message notes.

God isn't looking for flashy…he's looking for faithful. Let's be real for a second—if Jesus walked into Refuel tonight like He walked into Jerusalem in Mark 11, what would He find? Would He find faithful followers or just Wednesday night fans?Would He see someone who posts Bible verses on Sunday but ghosted Him by Friday night? This isn't just history. This is a mirror. Jesus is still walking into temples—but now, the temple is you. He's still flipping tables of fake religion. He's still calling out the proud. But He's also still noticing the nobodies. Still rewarding faithfulness. Still saving lives. Let's dive into Mark 11 and 12 and find out what Jesus is looking for—and how we can be faithful, not flashy, real, not religious, and committed, not just convenient.Our Scripture comes from Mark chapters 11 and 12.For the message notes, click here.

What makes someone “great” today? Most people would say it's about racking up followers, making bank, or getting your name out there. The bigger the platform, the better, right? But Jesus flips that whole idea upside down. As he walks with his disciples toward Jerusalem—toward the cross—he drops one final lesson: True greatness isn't about status. It's about serving. Think of it like when you stare at something bright for too long, and suddenly, you see its outline everywhere. That's what Jesus was doing with his disciples—burning the image of the cross into their minds. And the more we fix our eyes on it, the more we start seeing it everywhere… especially in how we serve God and others. Our Scripture comes from Mark 9:30-10:45.For the message notes, click here.

This week, Jesus enters “dragon” territory and deals with a young man who was possessed by a demon.

This week, we're looking at a conversation where Jesus drops a bombshell: Following Him isn't about gaining power, comfort, or status—it's about losing yourself for something greater. This was shocking for His disciples, and honestly, it's still shocking for us today. Join us for Refuel! We're in Mark 8:31-9:1.For the message notes, click here.

This week, Jesus pushes back against the hype machine. The crowds followed Him, the Pharisees debated Him, and even the disciples struggled to see beyond the hype to who He really was. But Jesus isn't just another passing trend. He's not about the hype—He's about truth, transformation, and a relationship with you. And in Mark 8:11-30, He challenges us to move past the surface-level excitement and truly see Him for who He is.Our Scripture comes from Mark 8:11-30.Click here for the message notes.
