There is so much that takes place in an unseen realm. There are bigger things happening all around us that do not appear big to the naked eye. In fact, much of the time, they appear rather small...much like the beginnings of Christianity. If we can learn to recognize and honor the small beginnings of things, I think we'll find ourselves positioned for some remarkable BIG things happening, right in our midst.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the significance in the plan God has for you. It’s easy to feel insignificant when you can’t find the purpose in your life. Some things in life are worth going back and taking another look. It’s time to  go back and “look again” at the thing you’ve deemed insignificant.

How far can desperation take you? We have some amazing Biblical examples from Mark chapter 5 of how far it can take 2 individuals. When you're motivated from a place of desperation, incredible things can happen. How do we live desperate for the things of the Kingdom on a daily basis and leverage Kingdom realities into our world today? Let's dive in.

The man possessed with a legion of demons has one encounter with Jesus that so radically changed him...it also prepared an entire region for Jesus. Jesus, and His disciples, sailed across the Sea of Galilee, endured and calmed the storm, because Jesus was on mission to find this one man. The potential inside this one individual was greater than perhaps anybody thought. The devil knew this and stacked the deck against him...but Jesus wasn't letting that happen.

Jesus was in an entirely different state of being in the middle of the storm than the disciples. He was completely at peace and at rest. They were freaking out...losing their minds. Perhaps His state of being is an invitation to transform ours. Where He's at...isn't just where we should be...but a means of how to get there. Let's dive into this incredible invitation to truly "altar/alter" our state of being.

Joel takes us into an incredible passage of Scripture with some FOR TODAY implications. Jesus, in a monumental moment asking His disciples to stay awake, to watch and pray with Him has much to say to us here, towards the end of 2020. What's He saying specifically to you?

Stay Awake, Watch, Pray - Joel Munoz - 10.14.20

What is the purpose of the light that we carry? Are we stewarding well the Kingdom seeds landing on our soil and are we being responsible over the light that we carry...or worse yet are we hiding it? Pastor Josiah takes us on a journey to understand how to be visible yet disappear at the same time, where all people see is Him. Shine on.

One of Jesus' most notable parables, the parable of the sower brings us some fresh thoughts concerning the heart. Are you capable and ready of receiving whatever the Lord may be speaking to you in this present moment. If the heart gets ready, you'll seek Him unlike ever before! He becomes the desire of your heart in all things.

Marked - Chapter 4 (Heart-Soil) Pastor Josiah Elias - 9.30.20

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? You perhaps felt you were unwanted or even undesired. Have you ever felt that way with God? Sure, you probably know that He accepts you and loves you, but do you really FEEL that? You're His adopted son or daughter. He has chosen you. It was His choice...and He chose you. He wouldn't take back that choice for anything or anybody else. He wants you...PERIOD! Believe it. Feel it. Experience that reality

Marked - Chapter 3 (Chosen) Pastor Josiah Elias - 9.23.20

Continuing in our journey through the book of Mark, Pastor Josiah takes us into some wonderful moments Jesus had in a particular place. Furthermore what that means for us today is breathtaking. This is for everybody! I fit in the Kingdom of God. I'm wanted and there's something only I can contribute to the Kingdom of God.

Marked - Chapter 3 (Mountains || Called Out) Pastor Josiah Elias - 9.9.20

Jesus' great intention was to get the life-transforming message into the people's hearts. But, through obedience to the Father, He prepares their hearts to make sure it sticks by a miraculous adhesive. This was not random happenstance. This was divine wisdom and strategy from Heaven...and it still works today.

Marked - Chapter 3 (Miraculous Adhesive) Pastor Josiah Elias - 9.2.20

Jesus steps into a synagogue and calls forward a man with a deformed, withered hand. But He doesn't just minister to the man, He also creates a powerful object lesson for the critically watching religious leaders that were there. They were looking at Jesus, just with all the wrong intentions. Are you willing to step forward when Jesus says come? What if He asks you to do something you know you can't do? Take the risk. Take steps of faith. Watch Jesus without any stones of accusations on your pockets...watch Him to learn how to live!

Marked - Chapter 3 (Risky || Deformed Miracles || Stones) Pastor Josiah Elias - 8.19.20

Are you the dominant influence when you're around people? If not, you'll always have to be careful who you're around. Jesus hung around people He knew He was influencing into the Kingdom. Pastor Josiah also takes us into some context concerning remaining pliable, ready for new wine and some thoughts concerning the Sabbath and the year of Jubilee - which Jesus changed at the Cross.

Marked - Chapter 2 (Influence || Pliable || Sabbath) Pastor Josiah Elias - 8.12.20

There's a connection between physical affliction and sin. Both in the old and new testaments it's covered. Jesus addresses it directly at the beginning of Mark chapter 2. Pastor Josiah takes us deeper into connecting these 2 dots while downloading revelation from the heart of the Father in relation to the two. One thing is clear...The Father cares about healing our whole being. Primarily what is eternal.

Marked - Chapter 2 (Physical Sickness || Forgiveness of Sin) Pastor Josiah Elias - 8.5.20

We're designed to experience God is the most intimate ways possible. Not just reading, or even talking...but something deeper. The same is true for how we interact with each other, or experience each other. This truth bleeds into our relationship with Him.   How do we deal with healing? Is it God's intention to heal? Does He want to? Is He willing? We're left with so many questions, usually based off of our own life-experiences and trying to reconcile what we read in the Scriptures. There's much to uncover concerning this topic, Pastor Josiah tee's up this topic of discussion which will be visited again and again throughout the Gospel of Mark.
