Mark pt. 12: Unashamed

Jesus sends us all an invitation in this second half of Mark chapter 8. That invitation? To come and die. It's not a pretty invite, and it's one the local church has started to ignore with more and more frequency. But though this invitation isn't wrapped with a bow, it is a necessary one if we're to truly be followers of the risen Christ. With this invite Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and follow him. The only way to truly follow Jesus is to die to self. Will we unashamedly accept this invitation to die, and in doing so, enter into more life than we could ever imagine?

Mark

This fall we're diving into the gospel of Mark—taking a look at how Jesus's vision of discipleship is still applicable (and needed!) in our lives today. The idea of discipleship or mentorship isn't what it used to be. We falsely believe we have to do life all on our own with no help from those who are a few steps ahead of us. But that's just not true! God designed us to be discipled and to disciple, just look at his own 12 closest friends! This fall we'll walk through the book of Mark together, taking an honest look at how we can become better disciples, and in turn, disciple those in our circle of influence.
