Losing Control
Many of us have control issues. At the beginning and end of Mark 12, we see two very different ways people deal with control issues and money. In the middle of the chapter, Jesus shows us how to let go of our control by loving God and loving people.

    Bringing Into Focus
    On the surface the stories of the triumphal entry, the fig tree and the cleansing of the temple in Mark 11 may seem unrelated. However, they all teach us a lesson about our expectations and reality and what God intends for us to be.

    Upside Down
    Who is important? Our culture tends to value fame, money, power and influence as indicators of people that matter. In Mark 10, Jesus turns that system upside down and shows us that God cares about those that the world might think are insignificant and that wealth can get in the way of our relationship with Him if we allow it.

    Now What?
    The first half of the Gospel of Mark is a series of miracles and healings that draw people to Jesus and amaze them with His power. In chapter 8, Jesus helps the apostles see the difficulty that is coming in His life and the challenges they will face if they continue to follow.

    Inside Out
    In Mark 7, the Pharisees question Jesus about His disciples. Their concern: eating with unclean hands. It's not the germ issue we have today; the Pharisees want to know why they are not honoring the tradition of ceremonial hand washing. Like many people today, they are worried about outward appearances. Jesus takes the occasion to teach everyone about the importance of what is inside.

    Working Together
    In Mark 6, we learn that Jesus Himself knows that His ministry would be more effective if He combined His own efforts and the efforts of the apostles. He intends for us to follow that example and multiply our influence.

    Guest speaker, Brian Williams, wraps up our youth rally weekend with this lesson from Luke 15. Now matter how far away we go, the Father is always ready to run to meet us. Our theme for the weekend was "Do Not Fear." Knowing that God is always there for us is the greatest reason to have no fear.

    Amazing Power
    This week we look at three miracles Jesus performs in chapters 4 and 5 of the gospel of Mark. In the stilling of the storm, the healing of a woman and the raising of a child from the dead; we see evidence of the power of Jesus over nature, sickness and even death. He can still show His power in the storms, health issues and loss in our lives.

    What Do You Seek?
    The people that surround Jesus in Mark 3 are all looking for something? What do we seek in Jesus, and more importantly what does He seek in us? (This week's lesson is abbreviated due to a congregational meeting.)
