Series: Life Hacks   |   Text: Proverbs 25:28   |   Date: October 27, 2019

Self-control is a godly discipline, one that takes intentionality to develop.

A LIVING SACRIFICE

Series: Tug of War   |   Text: Romans 12:1-2   |   Date: July 28, 2019

Being a living sacrifice means we focus more on who God is shaping us to be than who we want to be with, we stop making excuses and start living according to God’s truth, we lay our ambitions and desires on the altar and chase after God, and we live open-handed toward God.

In this section of Mark, we read consecutive stories of Jesus performing miraculous acts.

What do you do when life throws you a curveball, when plans fall through, and when your world comes apart? Jesus guaranteed us that life is full of trouble, but He also promised us that there is peace to be found if we will look to Him in moments of turmoil.

This series looks at different phrases the Bible doesn’t actually say, comparing them to the truth that is really there to be found.
