Mark pt. 8: Pride and Pain

The story of the death of John the Baptist in Mark chapter 6 leaves us with some key lessons from John, King Herod, and Jesus: John's commitment to following God no matter what teaches us that we sometimes have to lose to win. Herod's response to John shows us that there is a path of destruction paved with pride. And finally, we learn that we should be careful when Jesus is quiet in our lives—when you feel nothing, when you hear nothing, be very scared, but when you feel the weight of your sin, know God is up to something.

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.
