Mark 12

Today, Young Adult Pastor Gary Jones continues our series on Mark.

The way that Jesus navigates difficult conversations about faith reveals what God truly values. When he is approached by religious leaders who are insincere in their flattery, he cuts through external performance and gets straight to the heart of the matter, saying that the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

His answer encourages us, but it also challenges us to ask: are we giving God our best, or just our leftovers? If you want to explore what true devotion can mean in your own life, then this message is for you.
