Sunday’s message makes the case that God intends far more for you than that — and that the one thing you\nactually need to encounter Him isn’t knowledge or having it all figured out. It’s hunger.\n\nIn this message, Pastor Mark Ivey walks through Mark 1 — the day a bound man who’d sat in the synagogue for years\nwas set free by Jesus — and draws out the moments the church can’t afford to miss. Along the way: a shift happening\nin a whole generation, a bridge in Honduras that outlasted a hurricane while the river moved beneath it, and one\nrecurring question: don’t you want this? The church, he argues, has to be a place of real freedom, more than songs\nand sermons — because you don’t need an encounter with the church, you need an encounter with the living Jesus.\n\n📖 Scripture: Mark 1 · Mark 3 · Luke 13 · Hebrews 12:13 · John 8:36 · 2 Corinthians 3:17\n\n🎯 OUR MISSION - Make Disciples of Jesus who encounter God’s presence and bring healing to their cities.\n\n💛 Give into what God is doing → https://www.christalive.com/give\n\n🏠 Plan a visit → https://christalive.com\n\n🎧 Listen on any podcast platform → https://christalive.transistor.fm/\n\n📍 Christ Alive Church · 1549 Southwest Blvd · Newton, North Carolina","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JB9tV5gv4wGAaE-gNC12AsbYArue-fR-bgd3jaYsKJ8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iOTE5/Yjk5N2IwZjg5YzVk/NDI3ZWJhY2IzMGIw/MTA3NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
