Our freedom in Christ is given, but something that is often overlooked or even misunderstood is that it must be guarded. We have enemies that will oppose our freedom on a daily basis and our greatest enemy is that sinful, selfish, hardened, unrepentant, and un-surrendered version of ourselves. Through Galatians 5:13-26 we are going to allow the Apostle Paul to pastor us in how it is that we stay free from the power of the flesh.

Jesus wants us to be completely free from our sin, our past and the power of demonic influence. But the real question we need to ask is, “Do WE want to be free?” How do we know if what WE want matches what HE wants? In our passage today, we will discover some practical insight about the freedom in Christ through an interaction that Jesus has with a crippled man in Jerusalem.

How do we keep contending for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven without giving up in the process? We find the answer to that question in Luke chapter 18 as Jesus tells His disciples a parable that illustrates the importance of persistent prayer. As you will see, the goal of persistent prayer is not merely that we pray a lot but rather it is the way we stay committed to and contending for the will of God to manifest in and through our lives.

In order for us to go deeper in our relationship with God we will need to learn and lean into prayer more than ever.

Do you struggle with prayer or are confused about what it is and how it works? Many Christians feel this way but the reality is that prayer is very simple. Prayer is how we connect with and communicate to God in every area of our life. As we absorb the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:5-15, we will gain a fresh perspective of prayer that will compel us even deeper in our relationship with Him.

So many of us know what the Bible says and what God has called us to do, but we still don’t do it. What if the thing we are really missing is accountability within trusted relationships? God has designed the body of Christ to connect in such a way that we could help each other steer away from sin and toward our calling in Christ. In our message today we will learn the importance of accountability along with Biblical principles that will help guide our relationships to be more life giving as we grow together.

There are seasons and situations in our life that cause us to clearly see we need more of God. We might even pray something like this; “Lord, I need more of You in my life.” Rather than asking God for more we should be asking, “Does God have all of me?” or “Am I fully surrendered to Him?” In our passage today we will learn from the Apostle Paul what it means to truly surrender your life to God both initially and in an ongoing way.

Throughout the Bible we observe many seasons where God’s people came together with faith and expectation to see Him do a mighty work even in the midst of challenging times. Well, the days we are living in are certainly challenging and our response cannot be avoidance, fear or indecision. We must be a people who fast and pray for His kingdom to come and His will to be done in and through our lives.

All of us love to hear and share good news. In Luke chapter 2, the Christmas story is referred to as good news and the result of hearing it brings great joy. The good news of Jesus is so much greater than anything else and it permanently produces joy both now and forevermore. Maybe we need to be reminded of the good news of Christmas and freshly receive the joy that responds to all that God has done in Christ.

What happens when you die? Christians believe what Jesus taught concerning resurrection and this causes us to live each day with hope for tomorrow. In Mark 12:18-27 we read about when Jesus is challenged with a question by some members of the Sadducees who don’t believe in life after death. This challenge is a perfect opportunity for Jesus to further demonstrate his wisdom and reiterate the teaching and hope of resurrection.

At this point in the Gospel of Mark, the religious leaders are doing everything they can to discredit and remove Jesus entirely. They approach Him with a number of difficult questions that touch on both political and theological issues. These questions have the potential to divide the crowd and pique the interest of Roman authorities implying that an insurrection is in the making. Jesus sees through their questions and communicates a powerful message that while we are responsible to many in this life, ultimately, we can only be loyal to one.

In Jesus' time, it was the religious leaders' duty to investigate the teachings and practices of other religious teachers. However, the fact that they could not discern Jesus as the true Messiah shows us that there was more going on spiritually than a general dullness of heart. Demonic power is alive and at work not only in the world but also in religious and even Christian circles in order to distort the truth and derail the church from the true mission of Jesus. What we observe in the religious leaders through this text is not far off from what can happen to us if we don’t stay humble before God and His Word.

Prior to our text today, Jesus had cursed a fig tree and the disciples have discovered that it has completely withered up and died. Peter brought attention to the withered fig tree which launches Jesus into a teaching regarding faith, prayer and the inevitable tests that they will all face. We can easily see that this teaching was not only important for them but is entirely meaningful for us today as we seek to follow Jesus with all of our hearts.

As we have studied the book of Mark, we have seen very clearly that human beings have a tendency to take what God gives and make it something entirely different. There are many reasons for why this happens but the end result is a fruitless and even harmful form of religion that misrepresents God’s heart and misleads many who truly want to know Him. In our passage today we get a clear picture of just how far things can go and what Jesus thinks about it and how He responds to it.
