James and john
Jesus asked the question, “What do you want me to do for you?” twice and received two different responses. His disciples, James and John, asked for power and prestige while a blind man, Bartimaeus, asked for mercy. If God said to you, “What do you want me to do for you?”, what would you ask for?
God has revealed himself in human history through Jesus Christ. When we look at Jesus, all the guessing about God ends. Join us as we explore together who Jesus is and why he matters through discussing what the Gospel of Mark says about him.

What is a missional community?
Missional Communities (MCs) are groups of people that are committed to living in biblical community with one another and seeking to see the Kingdom of God realized in a particular neighborhood or network of people as they embody the peace and the presence of God in those places.
