Mark: Drop Everything; Follow Jesus
September 8, 2019 — Costa MesaJesus comes and proclaims the availability of the Kingdom of God – and there is only one possible response – to repent, to reorder life in the light of the reality of the Kingdom.

The Book of John: Are You His Disciple?
April 8, 2019 — Costa MesaJesus has deliberately required people – powerful people – to choose where they stand regarding who He is, and to then decide what to do about that.

The Book of John: What You See Is Who You Get
February 10, 2019 — Costa MesaJesus continues to use the “signs” to both separate those who know Him and are willing to follow Him to life from those who feel threatened by Him and conclude that He must die. Along the way, He makes it clear that to follow Him is not just about believing things about Him – but choosing to enter fully into His life, to become a consumer of eternal life, which is the only way to really live.
Scripture: John6: 16-70
