  • Jesus' authority challenged | Mark 11:27-12:12 | Pastor Don Krafft

    Jesus' authority challenged | Mark 11:27-12:12 | Pastor Don Krafft
    Sep 25 2026
    A.W. Tozer once wrote, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." That quote is worth sitting with for a moment. What do you really believe about God? And how has that understanding shaped the way you live each day? Are there distorted or warped views of God that may be keeping you from fully experiencing His love for you and the abundant life He so desires for you? In Mark 11 and 12, the religious authorities come to Jesus demanding, "By what authority are you doing these things?" Their question reveals something deeper about how they saw Jesus—and how easily our own view of God can become distorted from fear, shame, disappointment, or past experiences all shaping the way we see Him. When our view of God becomes warped, it can keep us from fully receiving the grace and love He so freely gives. Scripture gives us a clear picture of who God is. In Exodus 34, He reveals Himself as merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. If this is who He truly is, then the question isn't simply what we believe about Him, but whether He holds first place in our hearts and lives. As we journey through this passage of Scripture in Mark, our hope is that we wouldn't simply learn more about Jesus, but that we would see Him more clearly, know His heart more deeply, and grow in our trust of His love for us. As Pastor Don asks an important question "Is Jesus Supreme in Your life?" we need to ask ourselves, is His authority highest, or are we still trying to live life on our own terms—our way, our will, our agenda? — Mark 11:27-12:12 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?" Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me."And they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But shall we say, 'From man'?"—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. 12And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country. When the season came, he sent a servan to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent to them another servant, and they struck him on the head and treated him shamefully. And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'And they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard. What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this Scripture: "'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?" And they were seeking to arrest him but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they left him and went away.

  • Leaves Without the Fruit | Mark 11:12-25 | Austin Glenn

    Leaves Without the Fruit | Mark 11:12-25 | Austin Glenn
    Sep 15 2026
    In Mark 11:12–25, we see two powerful moments that at first glance might seem completely unrelated. Jesus curses a barren fig tree, and then He walks into the temple and overturns the tables of the money changers. These two events are not random displays of Jesus' righteous anger, but they are deeply connected. Together, they invite us to think about what it means to have a faith that is more than outward appearance—a faith that is alive, rooted in God, and truly producing fruit. Throughout the Bible, the fig tree is often used as a picture of Israel. Hosea 9:10 Jesus refers to Israel's ancestors as "the early fruit on the fig tree". In this passage, that imagery helps us understand what Jesus is revealing about the temple. The temple was meant to be a place where heaven and earth met—a place where people could encounter and come near to God through prayer, worship, and experiencing His presence. But somewhere along the way, something beautiful had become complicated. What was meant to help people encounter God, had become entangled with commerce, performance, and religious systems. Jesus isn't simply pointing out what's wrong. He's showing the deeper reason of what God has always wanted for His people all along. He doesn't want us trapped in religious performance, constantly trying to strive, earn, or prove ourselves "worthy" for Him. He simply wants us to know Him. Mark 11:12-25 is deeply personal. It's an invitation to stop settling for the "leaves" of religion and instead bear the fruit of relationship by abiding in Him. We can all find ourselves going through the motions sometimes. We can become attached to the appearance of faith—the routines, the language, the traditions, even the feeling of being a "good Christian" while missing the invitation to simply remain close to Jesus. The question isn't, "am I doing enough?" The better question is, "am I staying connected to the One who gives me life?" Fruit doesn't come from trying harder to look alive. Fruit grows when something is actually alive and connected to its source. Jesus isn't simply a better version of the temple. He is the fulfillment of everything the temple was pointing toward. He is the true meeting place between God and humanity—the final sacrifice, the One who removes the distance between us and God, forgives our sin, and gives us new life. This passage isn't saying try harder in religion, rather it's a personal invitation of grace to come closer to Jesus. To let go of the pressure to perform. to trust that as we remain connected to Him, His life begins to produce fruit in us. — Mark 11:12-25: 12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it. Jesus Cleanses the Temple 15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers." 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city. The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree 20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered." 22 And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

  • Confidence in What God is Doing Next | Philippians 1:1-11 | Brent Van Sickle

    Confidence in What God is Doing Next | Philippians 1:1-11 | Brent Van Sickle
    Sep 9 2026

    Goodbyes are hard, but Philippians 1:1–11 reminds us that while chapters may change, God isn't finished yet.

    In his letter, Paul looks back with gratitude for what God has done in the lives of the Philippians, while confidently looking ahead to what God will continue to do, saying, "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion." Our confidence isn't in a pastor, a particular season, or even ourselves—it is in Christ.

    One of the themes of Philippians is that we were made for community. We were never designed to follow Jesus in isolation. We need one another. God gives each person different gifts, abilities, experiences, and passions to help grow one another, grow together, and live for something bigger than ourselves. So where do we find our identity? Is it in lesser things? Is our identity built upon our own accomplishments, our roles, our relationships, or our circumstances—or are we rooted in who we are in Christ?

    As one season comes to a close, we can look back with gratitude without losing sight of what God is doing next. Keep growing. Keep serving. Keep loving. Keep building one another up. As transitions happen and seasons change, the mission still remains the same. Christ is still at work. The same God who was faithful then is faithful now—and He is already at work in what comes next.

    —

    Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,

    To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:

    2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Thanksgiving and Prayer

    3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
