Baring Cross Baptist's Podcast

As we begin to conclude our study in the Gospel of Mark…we have discovered that there is incredible depth in the journey of following Jesus.  We must respond the Jesus’ call to follow by giving our all, regardless of the cost.  

As we continue our study through the Gospel of Mark…we are discovering there is incredible depth in the journey of following Jesus.  We must live our lives in light of the reality that Jesus is returning soon, so remain faithful with the task in which we are called, to make disciples of all nations.

This week, we had Derek Brown from Arkansas Families as our guest speaker. Using the “miracle of the boy” (Feeding the 5,000) from John 6, Derek focused on the importance of every individual and the significance of the family and the home. 

As we continue the journey through the Gospel of Mark…we are discovering there is incredible depth in the journey of following Jesus.  Through His sacrifice, we now have an opportunity to live in relationship with Him.  A healthy relationship is one that produces fruit and is filled with faith.

As we continue the journey through the Gospel of Mark…we are discovering there is incredible depth in the journey of following Jesus.  The difference in life is JESUS, the one true Son of the Living God!  The question remains, “Will you worship Him as Lord?” Or will the pressures of the world silence you?

As we continue the journey through the Gospel of Mark…we are discovering there is incredible depth in the journey of following Jesus.  The call to follow demands that we must deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow HIM!  This is the only way to save our lives, by surrendering it to HIM!

As we continue the journey through the Gospel of Mark…we are discovering there is incredible depth in the journey of following Jesus.  Our sin nature causes separation from Jesus and prohibits us from growing in relationship with Him.  As we allow God to change our hearts, we have the opportunity to go deeper and become the ones He created us to be!

As we continue the journey through the Gospel of Mark…we are discovering there is incredible depth in the journey of following Jesus.  As we follow, Jesus will continue to stretch us, to mold us, and impress upon us the way we should go.  He will prepare us and equip us to make an impact in our community.  Keep in mind, though, this might just look different than we have experienced in the past.

Jesus has entrusted His followers with the movement of the Gospel throughout the world.  That began with the twelve and is now fallen to us.  We are His representatives, His ambassadors, entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation.  We are the small stones who are adding depth to the church and kingdom.  Understanding Jesus’ words in the text with hindsight after the cross, we see the bigger picture.  We know the outcome.  The question is not whether we will win or lose…but instead how much will we win by?

As we continue the journey through the Gospel of Mark, remember the question we are trying to answer…”What does is mean to follow Jesus?”  Following Jesus is about experiencing the healing touch of the Savior and then engaging the sick with the promise of a new life.   Jesus sees in us what no one else can see and turns us into what we were intended to be.  

Following Jesus is about a relationship and when the world provides distraction, we must remain true to our mission.  Every follower of Jesus is called to an incredible mission.  A mission full of excitement, adventure, and intrigue.  Jesus is calling us to participate with Him in the grandest story in all of history.  The victory of good over evil.  The incredible work of reconciling the world back to the hope, peace, and life found in the Father of all Creation!

What does it take to build a great movement?  There are three essentials — (1) a compelling vision (2) good people (3) a great leader.  This is how God builds His kingdom.  We see these details flesh out in Mark 1.  In order to be successful, any group must proclaim the right message, find the right people, and follow the right master. Today, I want to discuss the success our church and the people who claim to be committed to the mission of Jesus.  Jesus is calling us to action to fulfill the Great Commission.
