Mark 12:28-34 The Greatest Commandment

The Gospel of Mark is an action packed account of the life and ministry of Jesus.

This verse-by-verse study of Mark will help each of us take our Next Steps towards Christ, no matter where we are starting from!

WHAT IS LOVE? By John Stonestreet

The world is changing so fast. How do you know what's still true? And how to live tomorrow, in a time when knowing you're right seems like it always damages relationships? What if you could learn how to plant your feet, see God's hand in the chaos, and be His instrument in love that even the biggest skeptic could feel? This is the call of the Christian life. This is Truth. Love. Together.
