What is the Kingdom of God, and why does it matter for our everyday lives? This message explores one of Jesus' central teachings in the Gospels—the good news that the Kingdom is near. Together, we'll discover what this means for us today and how God calls us to live in response to it. Scripture Referenced: Mark 1:14-15

Do you truly know God or do you just know about Him? Sometimes deep-seeded unbelief can take root in our hearts. It manifests as an unwillingness to trust God or take Him at His Word. In this passage, Jesus confronts the Sadducees for their willful ignorance, a refusal to know truth. Yet even in His rebuke, there's good news: if Jesus says they're wrong, it means there is a right. Jesus shows that real faith is found in knowing the truth, knowing eternal life, and knowing God Himself. The Sadducees rejected the supernatural, lived as if this world was all there is, and tried to keep God at arm's length. But Jesus invites us into something far better—a living relationship with the God of the living. Do you truly know Him? Or have you kept Him at a distance? God is calling us to repent of unbelief and step into faith, to know His truth, His power, and His eternal life.You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 8:45am and 10;30am CST every Sunday morning.

“The Challenge of Discipleship” is the latest sermon in our study of the Gospel of Mark. Our text: Mark 9:30-50. This sermon was preached by Rev. Jason Garwood and recorded on Sunday, October 12th, 2025, at the covenant renewal worship service of Cross & Crown Church. Learn more about us by visiting our website: www.crosscrownchurch.com.

Lesson 2 - The One Who is Lord of All Mark 2:13 – 4:25. Mark continues recounting the miracles, the confrontations and the teachings of Jesus as His ministry spreads and grows. The Pharisees move front and center in this lesson, angry at Christ's association with “sinners” and His total disregard of their rules and traditions, especially regarding the Sabbath. Christ openly challenges their stubbornness and pride, ending with a warning about the need to listen carefully to what He says, because everything hangs in the balance.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visithttps://intheword.com

Faith that moves mountains isn't about control—it's about trust. In Mark 11:22–33, Jesus teaches that real faith aligns with God's will, forgives freely, and stands firm under His authority even when everything familiar is shaking. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that sometimes God has to bring one mountain down to raise something greater that can never be shaken.

In this week's message (Mark 11:11-33), Jesus addresses the empty show of religion—like a fig tree with no fruit or a temple turned marketplace—and calls people back to prayer and real faith. His actions showed God's authority and care, exposing what was false and opening the way to true life with Him. The question is simple: will we just nod in agreement, or truly give Him our allegiance and bear fruit?

This week Pastor Tim continues our series in the Gospel of Mark by unpacking Mark 1:21-45. 

This message continues our journey through the Gospel of Mark with the story of Jesus' baptism, a moment where His true identity is revealed more clearly. As we see who Jesus is, we begin to see ourselves differently. What does it mean for your life that Jesus is called the Beloved—and how might His identity reshape your own? Scripture Referenced: Mark 1:9-13

The story doesn't end—it continues through us! Check out this sermon to learn more!

Lesson 1 - The One with Authority to Forgive Sins Mark 1:1-2:12. Mark's fast-paced Gospel about the life and ministry of Jesus makes a point of recording how people reacted to Him. Some believed His claims. Some doubted. Some even got angry. And that is still true today. Mark's Gospel will certainly challenge our own understanding of who we believe Jesus is!To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Mark 10:17-22 // Nathan MillerThe story of the rich man who asks Jesus about eternal life is one of the Bible's most poignant encounters.

Jesus doesn't just cleanse the temple—He calls out empty religion at its roots. In Mark 11:15–21, we see Him flip tables, quote the prophets, and pronounce judgment on a system that looked alive but was fruitless. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that God's house is meant to be a house of prayer—and now, through Christ, we are His temple, called to live holy and bear real fruit.

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a young donkey, He was showing the world what kind of King He is. He came in humility and peace, fulfilling a prophecy spoken centuries earlier, while the crowds welcomed Him with shouts of “Hosanna!” from Psalm 118. What they didn't realize was that this moment also lined up with the choosing of the Passover lamb—a picture of Jesus offering Himself as the sacrifice for our salvation. The triumphal entry reminds us that Jesus is both our King and our Lamb, and like the donkey that carried Him, we're called to bring His presence into the lives of those around us and turn over control of our lives to him.

Pastor Tim continues our sermon series in the gospel of Mark by unpacking Mark 1:14-20. 

This message marks the beginning of a 5-month journey through the Gospel of Mark. Mark wastes no time confronting us with the reality of Jesus—the Messiah who calls us to follow Him with our whole lives. We launch the series with two pressing questions: What makes Jesus distinct? and What does it mean to prepare the way for Him? These are not just questions to ponder, but a call to live differently in light of the Gospel. Scripture Referenced: Mark 1:8

This weekend we're back in our series, the Gospel of Mark. Pastor Jordan Caro shared from Mark 16:1-13 - the story of the resurrection and Jesus appearing to His followers. What do we do when God's good news seems too good to be true? That's what we explore and dive deep into in this sermon. Check it out to learn more!

Authority Over the Mess

Jesus isn't just looking for leaves—He's looking for fruit. In Mark 11:11–14, we see a fig tree that looked alive but was empty, a picture of Israel's outward religion without true righteousness. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that real life in Christ comes from abiding in the Vine, not just looking spiritual on the outside, and calls us to examine what fruit God is growing in us today.

Pastor Tim continues our series "The Gospel of Mark" by unpacking Mark 1:9-13.

This passage tells the story of Bartimaeus, a blind beggar who recognized Jesus as the Messiah even before he received healing. Despite being silenced by the crowd, Bartimaeus cried out all the more, and Jesus stopped, called him near, and restored his sight. Jake highlighted that Jesus not only heals but brings complete wholeness (sozo): body, mind, and soul. Bartimaeus moved from sitting by the roadside to following Jesus on the way, a reminder that true faith both saves and transforms. As believers, we are called to encourage others to “take heart” and not become obstacles for those who are desperately trying to reach Jesus.

As Jesus is making his final approach to Jerusalem, He engages in some important conversation with his disciples. He prepares them with full transparency of his coming arrest, suffering, his death on the cross, and ultimately his resurrection. This sparks several conversations with the disciples regarding their own coming persecution, for some their martyrdom, and the need for patient endurance among his followers. Jesus reminds them that in His Kingdom, there is no grasping for power and control. Just as Jesus lays down his life for many as the servant of all, His followers are also called to lay down the pursuit of power and control and live as his bond-servants here on earth.

Jesus rides into Jerusalem not with military might, but with humility and purpose. In Mark 11:1–10, prophecy is fulfilled, crowds cry Hosanna, and the true Kingdom is revealed—not political power, but spiritual redemption. This week, Pastor Korey invites us to lay down what we cling to and follow the King who saves through sacrifice.

Mark 7:1-13 speaks a powerful word against external practices that are disconnected from genuinely faith-filled hearts. Pastor Isaiah exorts us to consider our own lives and actions in light of the warning that Jesus gives and the promise of the power of the Gospel to change our internal state so that all our external actions can be true worship! Preached on 09/14/25.
