Revolution Rising

This Sunday guest teacher Steven Kawczak teaches us that Jesus redefines family by inviting us into God’s spiritual family, where doing his will unites us more deeply than bloodlines. He reminds us that while earthly families matter, we ultimately find lasting identity, hope, and belonging when we follow Christ together as brothers and sisters.

This Sunday, Campus Pastor Joshua Hamm teaches from Mark 3 that Jesus is the stronger one who defeats Satan, exposes the flawed accusations of the scribes, and calls us to examine how our hearts respond to his work. We learn that Jesus forgives all who come to him, warns us against a hardened rejection of the Spirit’s witness, and invites us to trust his power to set us free and make us new.

Campus Pastor Joshua Hamm reminds us that Jesus doesn’t come to patch up our old ways but to bring a completely new life. We rejoice in him as our bridegroom, long for his return, and surrender everything—our habits, fears, and plans—so that his new life reshapes every part of us.

Campus Pastor Joshua Hamm teaches that Jesus calls Levi and eats with “tax collectors and sinners,” showing He comes for the sick; we receive His unconditional grace, follow Him, and let it transform us. We avoid isolating or assimilating and instead live on mission—spending time with lost neighbors in love and truth so we can invite them to Jesus.

This week Campus Pastor Joshua Hamm shows us that Jesus has authority to forgive sins and He proves it by healing the paralytic, so we glorify God. We respond with determined faith that moves us to come to Jesus for forgiveness and to creatively bring others to Him.

Chris Warszawski reads Mark 1:40–45, and we see Jesus cleanse a leper, showing compassionate authority that touches the untouchable; we learn leprosy pictures our sin that goes deep, defiles, and separates, and we come to Jesus in humility and faith because he cleanses and restores us. We trust his kingship even when answers delay, we obey his word, bear testimony to his work, and we never get over the gospel that makes us clean and sends us out under his good reign.

This Sunday, Campus Pastor Joshua Hamm says we feel pushed and pulled, and he points to Jesus’s kingdom priorities: we see Jesus rise early to pray, live from the Father’s presence, and move on to preach because that is why he comes. We live from fellowship with God—giving the Word and prayer first place, protecting that time and cutting distractions—so we act with clarity for God’s purposes instead of being dragged by expectations.

Campus Pastor Joshua Hamm has shown from Mark 1:21–34 that Jesus has taught with unrivaled authority, has silenced and expelled demons, and has healed the sick—including Peter’s mother-in-law—revealing both his power and his compassionate heart. We have been called to respond by moving from admiration to Spirit-led obedience—having been captivated, liberated, and motivated to follow him as our greatest treasure and to serve others as he has served.

Founding Pastor Rick Duncan says our culture’s ideologies exhaust and divide us, so Mark announces a better King—Jesus—whose kingdom is near and calls people to repent, believe, welcome, and receive him. He teaches that following King Jesus takes priority over purpose, place, people, and possessions, urging us to leave lesser “kings” behind and live under his rule with bold obedience.

Campus Pastor Josh Hamm teaches from Mark 1 that Jesus’ baptism accepts his mission, reveals the Trinity and the Father’s love, and the Spirit leads him into the wilderness to confront Satan and proclaim the nearness of God’s kingdom. He urges the church, amid suffering and cultural darkness, to trust God’s faithfulness, overcome temptation, and boldly share the gospel—challenging everyone to engage at least one person with the hope of Christ this week.

Campus Pastor Josh Hamm introduces Mark 1:1–8 and says the true new beginning is found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God—not in methods or life changes. He explains that John prepares the way through repentance, but Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit to change us from within, and he invites people to receive and live this new life.
