Big Idea of the Series: This eight-week sermon series explores key themes in the Gospel of Mark, especially the concept of the kingdom of God and its upside-down values. Over and over again, we learn how this coming kingdom elevates the marginalizes, protects the vulnerable, and finds its strength in weakness. Through following our new ruler, we learn to receive the kingdom and live as previews to its coming glory.   

Week 7 October 6: In God’s new kingdom, exploitation and abuse of power are replaced with grace and redemption.

Week 8 October 13: There is hope for those who have been faithless. We are called to move beyond following the crowd to follow Jesus, even in unpopularity or difficulty.
