Jesus Unfiltered
Description: There’s a good chance that you’ve heard the name “Jesus” before. Perhaps you grew up in a church, recently showed up, or are still asking deep questions about who Jesus is? It is tempting for all of us to put filters on Jesus. But what if God was more than our political orientation, our skin color, or our religious preferences? What if we could take the filters off and re-discover what God is truly like? Well, we can. You are invited to join us, beginning January 5, for a journey through the gospel of Mark as we explore JESUS UNFILTERED.

Key Passage Mark 3:7:19 English Standard Version (ESV)
A Great Crowd Follows Jesus
7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea 8 and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him. 9 And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they crush him, 10 for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed around him to touch him. 11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.
The Twelve Apostles
13 And he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach 15 and have authority to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter); 17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder); 18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,[a] 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
