The story goes something like this: someone is going to die, they approach death with no rescue in sight, then something arrives to die in their place. The problem with the stories is that the solution is always temporary. Always, that is, until the last time it's told. This week, Pastor Ben Hightower takes us through the last telling of that story: Jesus and Barabbas.

So, when Moses said not to carry the name of God in vain, what did he mean by that? This week, Pastor Ben Hightower takes us through the 3rd commandment to help us see what it looks like to take the name of God in vain. How long are you willing to wait for payoff? How fast do you need to lose weight before you quit the diet? How much money do you need to make before you quit the side hustle? We judge new ideas by how fast we make progress and see a payoff and that makes sense for diets and side hustles, but what about when it comes to a new way of living? How long will you wait on Jesus before you see a payoff? This week, Pastor Ben Hightower continues in Mark to see what Jesus says about payoff in the Upside Down Kingdom. How much bad does it take to make something good bad? How much bad does it take to move a job from great to not worth it? How much bad does it take to move a boyfriend or girlfriend from marriage material to breakup candidate? This week, Pastor Ben Hightower takes us through Mark 9 to see what Jesus said about "good" and how "good" something has to be to still be good. |
