The Invitation
Sermon Description
In this week's message, Pastor Jeff walks us through Mark 14:66-72 where Peter denies Jesus three times in fear of the consequences he may face for knowing Him. Throughout the message, you'll hear about how the fear of suffering, standing out, and missing out caused Peter to act differently and how the same thing can happen to us as believers if we aren't intentional with our faith. Our hope through this message is that it would encourage you to live boldly for your faith, no matter the worldly consequences that may come your way.
Series Overview
In the Gospel of Mark, we encounter Jesus teaching, healing, confronting, and calling His followers to take part in His mission. Whether through miracles, parables, or encounters with sinners and outcasts, Jesus continually invites people to a new way of living and being, to a life of faith and surrender to God's purposes.
This series is a call to respond to Jesus—not just to hear about Him, but to follow Him, to be transformed by Him, and to invite others into the same journey. Throughout Mark's account of Jesus' life, we see Jesus extending an invitation to people of all walks of life to experience the radical love, power, and truth of God's kingdom. This invitation is not one to be taken lightly; it demands a response.
