Dawn of a New Day (Mark 2:18 - 3:35)
Jesus has come as King and Savior to bring forgiveness and life and joy and freedom. Few people recognized his coming as the appearance of the Christ. We are to see Jesus as our life and our hope and our freedom.

The Heart of Christian Prayer
Jesus wants us to understand that Christian prayer is a matter of the heart, not the externals. Christians pray believing God sees them, though no one else does, and hears them because Jesus has removed every obstacle to prayer.

Matthew 9:9-13 - Who Jesus Came For
Pastor Brian teaches on Matthew 9:9-13, where Jesus is at a party full of social outcasts and "sinners" - the prostitutes, gang members, and porn producers of the time. The Pharisees question Jesus' disciples as to why Jesus is associating with such people. Jesus himself responds that it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick, that He desires mercy, not sacrifice, and that he has not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Pastor Brian shows us that regardless of whether we are out in the open with our sin, like the people at the party, or if instead we hide it well like the Pharisees, we are all sick, all sinners, and all in need of mercy. It is only Jesus that can save us from our life of sin.
