Never tiring of giving us more stories of Jesus's healing, Mark records a couple gems in the seventh chapter of his Gospel. These two accounts show us the wide range (literally) of the Lord's ministry as He journeys to different places to reach very different people. Pastor Robert Fonseca demonstrates the power of Jesus to reach people's very specific needs. --Sermon from October 10, 2021 To learn more about Renaissance Christian Church and our service times, visit http://ren.church/ (https://ren.church/).

Going to the Well | Mark 7:24-37

Tradition. It's typically a good thing, right? It could help a family or other group retain their identity or their history. But what happens when tradition supersedes what God actually asks us to do? This tension comes to a boiling point when the Pharisees confront Jesus in Mark 7. Pastor Robert Fonseca will describe exactly what their dispute entailed and why it's absolutely relevant for our spiritual lives today. In these passages, we also get some warnings to heed. --Sermon from September 23, 2021 To learn more about Renaissance Christian Church and our service times, visit http://ren.church/ (https://ren.church/).

Virtue Signaling | Mark 7:1-23

In many of the miracles we've seen so far in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus displays His mastery over the created order. He shows His deity in how he transcends the natural law proves Himself the Creator. Pastor Robert Fonseca looks at the meaning of one of these miracles: Jesus's walking on the water. It was yet another instance where He astonished the disciples. --Sermon from September 19, 2021 To learn more about Renaissance Christian Church and our service times, visit http://ren.church/ (https://ren.church/).

God Is Watching Over You | Mark 6:45-56

Although they're harder to come by these days, large crowds aren't our favorite things. For us, crowds mean traffic congestion, longer wait lines, and, at their worst, unruly mobs. But when Jesus looked at a particular crowd in the Gospel accounts, He had a different reaction: He had compassion on them. Pastor Jared Saavedra teaches from Mark 6 and a miracle that's recorded in all four Gospels: the feeding of the 5,000. We'll observe what exactly drove Jesus to this spectacular work. --Sermon from September 12, 2021 To learn more about Renaissance Christian Church and our service times, visit http://ren.church/ (https://ren.church/).

Commissioned By God | Mark 6

Jesus's reputation as a healer spread so significantly that He was immediately confronted in His travels with new pleadings for healing. We see this in the case of Jairus and his daughter, in Mark 5. But something happens that interrupts the urgency of the moment: another healing. -- Sermon from August 22, 2021 To learn more about Renaissance Christian Church and our service times, visit http://ren.church/ (https://ren.church/).

Desperately Trusting Jesus | Mark 5:21-43

We make our return to studying the Gospel of Mark this Sunday with a miracle, which though it appears in two other Gospel accounts, is recorded in particularly profound detail by Mark. It's the story of Jesus cleansing a man possessed by innumerable demons; and it's a story that demonstrates the great power and the great mercies of God. Jared Saavedra teaches from Mark 5 on the man possessed by demons, who experienced a spectacular miracle of mercy from Jesus. -- Sermon from August 15, 2021 To learn more about Renaissance Christian Church and our service times, visit http://ren.church/ (https://ren.church/).

Life in the Kingdom of God | Mark 4:21–34

Why do some people respond to God's Word with faith and repentance, but others seem unmoved?

Notes "When God is the sower and we are the ground, we are called to work to be good ground." —Augustine of Hippo  What prevents people from following the Lord? 1. They don't listen to God's word 2. They don't believe He is worth dying for 3. They don't seek God's kingdom first How do we live fruitful lives for the Lord? 1. Listen to the word of God Ps 119:33-40 2.
