King Jesus | Week 3 | Managing Jesus

Mark chapter 3 builds the tension in the story of Jesus and things begin moving to a tipping point. Jesus came to overthrow the powers, but he came for more than that. Through his life, death, and resurrection Jesus redefined power itself.

Mark chapter 2 tells the story of a paralyzed man, but the details of the story are included to teach us something more. What does Jesus reveal about himself? How does it apply to your life?

The gospel of Mark opens by making some audacious claims about Jesus. He is the promised messiah, the king of kings and the second person of the triune God. How does this vision of Jesus change our lives? 

Everything changed when Jesus walked among them alive. The resurrection story has changed history and it still changes hearts today. But do you live like the story is true?

Happy Palm Sunday! Join us for a sermon from Mike Schnepp.Unity in the church flows from rightly seeing Jesus—not as someone who serves our agenda, but as the true King who calls us to surrender, trust Him in confusion, and let go of what we’re holding onto. When we center our lives on Him, the gospel reshapes our hearts, leading us to humility, dependence, and deeper transformation.Where might you be missing the real Jesus because you’re holding onto your own expectations?

Christians throughout history have sought God for his power but the gifts of the Holy Spirit often feel out of reach. How do Christians experience the power of the spirit in their lives?  

Unity in the church never happens by accident. What makes the church different from the rest of the world? How has God entrusted the church with the key to unity?

In many ways the church is like a bag of diamonds. Sometimes the real and the fake are mixed together. How do we discern between genuine faith and false conviction? How do we grow as authentic followers of Christ? 

You are God’s workmanship. But what does that mean? How do art and creativity influence our understanding of God? How do they inform our purpose and hope? 

Persistent prayer reveals the heart of God as a loving Father. While we often want instant answers, God uses seasons of waiting to grow our trust and draw us closer to Him, always giving us what we truly need. Instead of giving up when answers feel delayed, we are invited to come to Him with boldness, persistence, and faith. So how do we wait well, and pray in season?
