Mark: Learning to trust Jesus' words
Pastor Luke finishes the series on "The words of Jesus in Mark" and asks us to reflect on the question: "Do I trust Jesus's words?"
Giving from Poverty
Payton gives a message on giving out of poverty like the woman giving her last coin as offering.
Abide in Me - Part 4
In this episode, we focus on a liberating truth: when we abide in Christ, and His Words abide in us, this gives the Holy Spirit the ability to produce His fruit in and through us.
Why is this so liberating? It’s liberating because God's calling for believers is not to produce fruit. His calling is that they bear fruit. It’s important to note that fruit is not a byproduct of self-effort; fruit is the outflow of the life of God Himself living and operating within us. To sum it up: producing fruit is God’s job, bearing fruit is the believer's job.
Contrary to how it first seems, the believer does not need the fruits of the Spirit to be added to his life. Instead, he needs more of the Holy Spirit that bears that fruit. In summary, the Christian life isn’t about trying harder. It is about us recognizing our total inability to produce fruit and instead, embracing Christ’s ability through the power of His Spirit!

Abide in Me - Part 3
Do you walk in fellowship with the Lord throughout the day? In reality, as we face hectic workweeks and busy weekends, how do we abide in Christ?
In this episode, we discuss how abiding in Christ is more than simply reading a chapter of Scripture and having a quick prayer time in the morning. It is maintaining a constant connection with Christ that revitalizes us and gives us purpose all day long.
An important question we ask is, what hinders us from abiding in Christ? One thing that hinders us is our values. The progression of our values is powerful, because where we spend the most time is actually where we abide. And where we spend our time is ultimately what we love.
Join us as we explore the command “Abide,” and find in it the strength to stand against Satan's temptations, and find fullness of joy as we abide in Christ.

Releasing and Receiving: The Gift of Grace
Pastor Payton continues with the series on the words of Jesus in Mark.
Abide in Me - Part 2
Does your spiritual productivity seem constricted and fighting to flourish? In this episode, we discuss how the only way to experience an intimate relationship with God the way He intended, is by making Christ Himself our source of life. In our world today, there are so many competing things to do that can quickly become the most important thing to us. These things can crowd out our relationship with the Lord if we are not vigilant. This episode addresses the dangers of these competitions while emphasizing the only way to find true fulfillment in Jesus.
Along the way, we’ll discover that God’s goal in pruning distractions out of our lives is not to make us better people. His goal is to replace us with His life. Is this a difficult or painful process? It can be. But it is filled with beauty and hope. When we allow God to take things out of our lives, He replaces those things with Someone, and His name is Jesus. Join us as we look at how God removes competition from our lives so He can live more fully in us — as we abide in Him.

Jesus' Words in Mark: Following Jesus
Pastor Luke continues with the series on the words of Jesus in Mark.
Abide in Me - Part 1
Are you tired of trying to live the Christian life in your own strength and failing? Is your spiritual life dry and fruitless? In this episode, learn how abiding in Christ is all about receiving the life and work of Christ, so that He can live through us and our lives can be a reflection of Him.
The basic definition of the word “abide” means “to dwell.” Our dwelling place is not where our physical address is; our dwelling place is determined by what we treasure the most and where the deepest desires of our heart lie. God Himself desires to dwell preeminently in us, consuming our affections and producing His fruit of our lives.
In this podcast, we dive into what it means to “Abide” in Christ and how His Words must abide in us. We find that to live fruitful and abundant lives in Christ is not an issue of self improvement or greater personal resolve, it is simply a byproduct of treasuring the Word of God within our heart. It is as God’s Word and a personal relationship with Him become the single most important priority of our lives, that the fruit of our lives will express Christ Himself. Fundamentally, abiding in Christ is about receiving the life of Christ, the Vine, so that He can live through us.
Learning to abide in Christ is the cornerstone of understanding how we live out all the other commands. Obedience to the commands of Christ is not a work of our own. It is the natural outflow of Christ living and operating within us.

Jesus' Words in Mark: The Movement of Jesus
Luke Campbell begins a series on the words of Jesus in the gospel of Mark.
The Mission Cleveland
enSeptember 30, 2021
Journey into the Commands of Christ
In this pilot episode, we dive in deep with several questions: What are commands? How do we keep them? And, are Jesus’ commands for us just more sets of impossible to-do lists?
We invite you to listen with hope, because the commands of Christ go beyond being only a to-do list — they are an invitation to an intimate relationship with the God of the universe, and a pathway to true discipleship.
In John 8:31, Jesus defines a true disciple as one who abides in His Word, meditating on it, and living it out in their lives. Jesus’ words are powerfully applicable today. We believe that His words are essential — they are our life! Join us on this journey through the commands of Christ!

Behold! Seek First the Kingdom // Josh Williams
This summer, we hope to be witnesses of God’s Kingdom work. While we always hope to be people who behold God’s Kingdom regardless of the season, we are aware that prioritizing the Kingdom might fall on the wayside in our “post-pandemic” summer. What would it mean to seek first the Kingdom this summer? So much of our “reopened” life this summer focuses on what we want to do. This summer, first receive an invitation to behold the Kingdom. Then, see the fruit of becoming what you behold.
