In the opening message of our new series, Do You See Him?, we turn to Mark 6:1–6a and Jesus’ return to His hometown of Nazareth.

The people there knew His family, His background, and His trade. They thought they knew exactly who Jesus was. But their familiarity became a barrier to faith. They were astonished by His wisdom and His works, yet they could not see beyond the Jesus they thought they already knew.

In “The Jesus You Think You Know,” we consider a challenging question: Is it possible to know a great deal about Jesus and still fail to truly see Him?

This message explores the danger of allowing assumptions, familiarity, and personal expectations to shape our view of Christ. Mark invites us to see Jesus not as we imagine Him to be, but as He reveals Himself in Scripture—and then to decide how we will respond.

In Episode 2 of Jerusalem to Rome, we continue through Acts 1:6–11 and come to one of the most important passages in the entire book.

The disciples want to know when Jesus will restore the kingdom. Instead of giving them a timetable, Jesus gives them a mission: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses…”

We explore what it means to be empowered by the Holy Spirit, why Acts 1:8 becomes the roadmap for the rest of Acts, and how the gospel moves outward from Jerusalem, to Judea and Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth.

But we also spend time with an event Christians sometimes move past too quickly—the Ascension of Jesus. By connecting Acts 1 with Daniel 7, we see that Jesus is not simply leaving His disciples. The risen Son of Man is ascending to His rightful place as the reigning King, having first gone to the cross to make salvation available to the world.

And then comes the promise: “This same Jesus…will come back.”

We may not know when He will return, but we know exactly what we are called to do until He does.

In Week Five of Who Can This Be?, we come to one of the most powerful moments in Mark’s Gospel. Jairus had come to Jesus believing He could heal his daughter—but before Jesus arrived, the devastating word came: “Your daughter is dead.”

It appeared that Jesus was too late.

But Jesus responds with a word that reaches beyond Jairus to every place where fear threatens faith: “Do not be afraid; only believe.”

In Mark 5:35–43, Jesus enters the house, takes the little girl by the hand, and speaks tenderly: “Talitha, cumi”—“Little girl, I say to you, arise.” And death itself obeys Him.

Throughout this series, Mark has been answering the question, Who can this be? We have seen Jesus as Lord of Creation, Conqueror of Darkness, Restorer of Humanity, and Compassionate Healer. Now Mark takes us even further.

Jesus is the Lord of Life.

This message reminds us that death is real, grief is real, and loss is painful—but in the presence of Jesus, death does not have the final word. The One who raised Jairus’s daughter would Himself rise from the grave, giving us the hope that because He lives, death will one day be defeated forever.

Welcome to the first episode of Jerusalem to Rome: A Verse-by-Verse Journey Through Acts and the Apostolic Letters.

In this opening episode, Dr. Bob Moseley introduces the vision for the study and begins exploring Acts 1:1–5. We’ll meet Luke and Theophilus, consider the purpose and historical setting of Acts, and discover why one small word—“began”—helps us understand the entire book.

Acts is not simply the story of what the apostles did after Jesus left. It is the story of what the risen Jesus continued to do and teach through His Spirit-empowered people.

Along the way, we’ll consider the historical reality of the resurrection, the kingdom of God, the promise of the Holy Spirit, and Jesus’ surprising command to His disciples: Wait.

Therefore, open your Bible and join us as the gospel begins its journey from Jerusalem to Rome—and beyond.

In Week 4 of the series Who Can This Be?, Pastor Bob Moseley explores Mark 5:21–34 and the story of a woman who had suffered for twelve years. She had exhausted her resources, endured isolation, and nearly lost hope. But when she heard about Jesus, she reached for Him in faith.

What follows reveals more than Christ’s power to heal. It reveals His compassion.

Jesus stops for the one others overlook. He sees the hidden pain. He restores dignity. He calls the woman “Daughter” and sends her away in peace.

This expository message explores the cultural background of her suffering, the significance of ceremonial uncleanness, the nature of faith, and the deeper meaning of Jesus’ words, “Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

Discover why the Gospel is not simply about receiving something from Jesus, but about being known, restored, and made whole through Him.

Scripture: Mark 5:21–34

If you have ever felt overlooked, ashamed, exhausted, or unsure whether Jesus would receive you, this message is a reminder that the Compassionate Healer still sees, still receives, still saves, and still makes broken people whole.

What happens when Jesus steps into the darkest place imaginable?

In Week 2 of the series Who Can This Be?, Pastor Bob Moseley takes us to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus encounters a man living among the tombs—a man completely broken, isolated, and beyond all human help. Yet what follows is not merely an account of spiritual warfare. It is a powerful revelation of the identity of Jesus Christ.

In this expository message from Mark 5:1–20, we discover that the One who calmed the storm also possesses absolute authority over the powers of darkness. Every force opposed to God's kingdom must bow before Him. This sermon explores the biblical, historical, and theological significance of Christ's encounter with the demon-possessed man, revealing that the miracle is ultimately about the supremacy of Jesus and the hope found in His victorious power.

Whether you are facing fear, spiritual battles, or circumstances that seem impossible, this message will remind you that there is no darkness too deep, no chain too strong, and no life beyond the reach of Jesus Christ.

Scripture: Mark 5:1–20

When Jesus stood and spoke, the wind stopped, the waves became still, and the disciples were left asking one unforgettable question:

"Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?" (Mark 4:41)

In the opening message of the series Who Can This Be?, Pastor Bob Moseley explores the account of Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4:35–41) and reveals that this miracle is far more than a demonstration of supernatural power. It is a revelation of Christ's divine identity. The One who commands creation is none other than the Creator Himself.

This expository sermon examines the biblical, historical, and theological significance of this passage while drawing from the parallel accounts in Matthew and Luke. Discover how the authority of Jesus over creation strengthens our faith, calms our fears, and calls us to worship the One who is truly Lord over every storm.

Whether you're facing uncertainty, searching for hope, or longing to know Jesus more deeply, this message will encourage you to trust the One whom even the wind and waves obey.
