The Advent season reminds us that God’s invitation is wide open. Long before we came to Him, He was preparing a place for us. This week, we’re learning that making room for others isn’t just about hospitality; it’s about reflecting the heart of Christ, who leveled the ground and welcomed us to His table of grace.

The arrival of Christ confronts our instinct to shut others out. This Advent season, Jesus calls us to love those we’d rather avoid, to release the bitterness that weighs us down, and to make room for peace where resentment once lived. Before we ever made room for Him, He made room for us. And now He invites us to do the same.

We all know what it feels like to be desperate: for healing, for hope, for peace. In Mark 5, a woman who had suffered for twelve long years reached out to Jesus in faith, and in one moment, everything changed. She came for healing, but He gave her more than she ever imagined: peace, wholeness, and a new identity. In this message, Pastor Zakk Gammon shows us how Jesus still meets us in our desperation, and how reaching out in faith can change everything.

We all know what it feels like to be chained: by addiction, shame, fear, or just the labels people put on us. In Mark 5, Jesus steps into enemy territory and frees a man everyone else had given up on. But He didn’t just break the man’s chains; He gave him a mission.

In this message, Pastor Zakk Gammon shows us that Jesus frees us not only from bondage but also for mission. The question is: will we keep living in our chains, or will we walk in the freedom He offers?

We all think we know what our biggest problem is: finances, health, relationships. But sometimes the things that feel most urgent aren’t actually the most important.

In Mark 2, four friends lowered a paralyzed man through a roof to get him to Jesus. He came for healing, but Jesus gave him something far greater: forgiveness.

In this message, discover that Jesus always meets our deepest need before our obvious one. The question is, will we walk away unchanged, or walk out forgiven?
