Reach Church

Through the story of a blind beggar, Jesus shows there is no middle ground to Christianity. Instead we are called to receive Jesus's healing and then immediately go and tell others of what we have received.

Mark 10:35-45. Through his interaction with James and John, Jesus reveals that his primary purpose for coming to Earth is not to be served but to serve -- and to give his life as a ransom to set slaves free.

Mark 10:32-34. Jesus never asks us to go somewhere he hasn't first gone himself. In this passage, we see Jesus walking boldly towards his persecution and death.

Mark 10:17-31. Like the rich young man, we tend to worship our stuff instead of God, but Jesus shows us that in order to inherit eternal life we must place our trust in him alone.

Mark 10: 13-16. Jesus tells us in order to receive the kingdom of God we must go to him with child like faith and live in complete dependency on him.

Through an encounter with Pharisees, Jesus shows that the institution of marriage is not primarily for us, but to display the Gospel and the sacrificial love he has for us.

Jesus shows his disciples what lengths he will go to keep his children and in response to the consequences of sin, what lengths we should go to get the sin out our own lives.

Jesus challenges his disciples to realize God's work is being done by a much larger team than they thought. The same is true for us.

NY Times bestselling author and friend of Reach Jeff Bethke shares the story of the Prodigal Son and the incredible grace of God.

What's the greatest lie ever told? Life is a story about you. How do you stop believing it? SERVE.

Just another healing story? Hardly. Jesus helps a desperate father find faith, and reminds his disciples (and us) that without connection to God, we can do nothing.

In this encounter, Jesus reveals his identity as God and King to Peter and John.

The disciples have seen what Jesus is all about, now he asks point blank: "Who do you say I am?"

Jesus' encounter with a blind man is an amazing miracle and a perfect example of who Jesus is and what he does. He gives light.

Jesus has encounters with two groups that doubt in different ways. Jesus gives us everything we need, even faith.

What have you forgotten about Jesus? Jesus shows his patience with us by willingly repeating himself in order to remind us of what he has already done.

Jesus has an incredible encounter with a man who is deaf and mute. Maybe there's hope for those of us who struggle to hear from God and speak for God.

Jesus doesn't look at human status, but at human need. Even the most unclean can come to Jesus and be made clean. That's VERY good news.

Jesus challenges self-righteous religious leaders and makes it clear that rituals can't make you clean. If the law isn't good news, then what is?
