Hurry: The Great Enemy of Spiritual Life | Practicing the Way Vision Series E10
John Mark Comer Teachings
01/07/22 • 48 min
"If you want to experience the life of Jesus, you have to adopt the lifestyle of Jesus."
In Matthew 11v28-30, Jesus offers a new yoke to his disciples. In this message, John Mark breaks down what it means to pick up the yoke of Jesus and adopt His lifestyle: taking up the easy yoke of Jesus means that we need to slow down. In light of this, John Mark explains how hurry is opposed to the way that Jesus walked and to our spiritual growth, then challenges us to be creative and disciplined in how we "unhurry" our lives.

Generational Sin | Dealing With Your Past E1
John Mark Comer Teachings
01/28/22 • 56 min
Our family of origin and past experiences shape our present. And past hurt and trauma don't go away on their own.

After discussing common objections to dealing with your past, he takes us through the Bible and shows how sins get passed from one generation to the next. He finishes this teaching by giving practical tips on how to engage these topics in community and begin your journey to healing and freedom.

The Marriage Myth (ft. Tammy Comer) | Gospel of Matthew
John Mark Comer Teachings
08/11/23 • 46 min
Is marriage a contract, or a covenant? Is the love that lasts a lifetime a fiery passion of desire, or something else? Is divorce a necessary evil to “be true to yourself,” or a rupture of a deep union? Jesus’ teaching on divorce is based in his vision of marriage, which is as radical today as it was nearly two thousand years ago.
