In My Opinion—You Should Just Give Up
Weekend Scripture: Acts 12-15; Colossians 4:10-11
At one point in his ministry, the Apostle Paul considered John Mark a failure; so much so that he dismissed him as a traveling companion. There were a lot of people who surely advised John Mark to “just give up,” but God had other plans. In this message, we’ll take a look at John Mark’s restoration and happy outcome.

Why Not Now?—Prioritizing My Relationship with the Church

Word Play—Adapt Ability
Weekend Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:19-27
Some things are worth changing for the sake of reaching others. Paul had a unique ability to adapt to the contexts God put him in. If he was with religious people he learned how to connect with them. If he was with irreligious people he learned how to connect with them as well. If our goal truly is to bring as many people to heaven with us as possible, we must have the ability to adapt.

Word Play—Account Ability
Weekend Scripture: Galatians 2:11-21
Keeping a close watch on your life is a team effort. Paul had the courage and the commitment to truth to challenge Peter when he was wrong. Proverbs teaches that “as iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another.” Paul and Peter did that for each other. Trusted friends have the ability to keep account of one another’s lives.
