The story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-41 has three stages:

1. The disciples are in charge;

2. The storm is in charge;

3. Jesus is in charge.

When we come to realise that Jesus is in charge, we have two options: FEAR or FAITH. This message will encourage you if you are in a stormy season of life that Jesus is in charge, and He is good, so you can have faith.

"The Kingdom of God is manifest in hiddenness." In this message, Jonathan Shanks explores this idea from the parables of Jesus in Mark 4:21-34.

In the message, Jonathan Shanks unpacks the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4:1-20, highlighting the importance of HEARING in order to bear fruit.

House rules. What were your house rules in the home you grew up in? What are your house rules now?

In tonight's passage, Mark 3:20-35, Jonathan Shanks unpacks three levels of house rules:

The house of the KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD;

The house of the KINGDOM OF GOD;

The house of MY HERITAGE.

Mark 3:13-19 records the story of Jesus calling the Twelve. In this message, Jonathan Shanks explores the theme of discipleship and what it is to follow Jesus. As disciples of Jesus, we GO TO JESUS; KNOW JESUS; and SHOW JESUS.

When Jesus hung on the cross, He said "it is finished." The Gospel is final and complete and yet, for followers of Jesus, there is a sense in which the story is GLORIOUSLY INCOMPLETE. In this Easter Sunday 2024 message, Jonathan Shanks explores the glorious incompleteness about the resurrection of Jesus, encouraging us to step up and play our part in the story.
