Refuel Students

God isn’t looking for flashy…he’s looking for faithful. Let’s be real for a second—if Jesus walked into Refuel tonight like He walked into Jerusalem in Mark 11, what would He find? Would He find faithful followers or just Wednesday night fans?Would He see someone who posts Bible verses on Sunday but ghosted Him by Friday night? This isn’t just history. This is a mirror. Jesus is still walking into temples—but now, the temple is you. He’s still flipping tables of fake religion. He’s still calling out the proud. But He’s also still noticing the nobodies. Still rewarding faithfulness. Still saving lives. Let’s dive into Mark 11 and 12 and find out what Jesus is looking for—and how we can be faithful, not flashy, real, not religious, and committed, not just convenient.Our Scripture comes from Mark chapters 11 and 12.For the message notes, click here.

What makes someone “great” today? Most people would say it’s about racking up followers, making bank, or getting your name out there. The bigger the platform, the better, right? But Jesus flips that whole idea upside down. As he walks with his disciples toward Jerusalem—toward the cross—he drops one final lesson: True greatness isn’t about status. It’s about serving. Think of it like when you stare at something bright for too long, and suddenly, you see its outline everywhere. That’s what Jesus was doing with his disciples—burning the image of the cross into their minds. And the more we fix our eyes on it, the more we start seeing it everywhere… especially in how we serve God and others. Our Scripture comes from Mark 9:30-10:45.For the message notes, click here.

This week, Jesus pushes back against the hype machine. The crowds followed Him, the Pharisees debated Him, and even the disciples struggled to see beyond the hype to who He really was. But Jesus isn’t just another passing trend. He’s not about the hype—He’s about truth, transformation, and a relationship with you. And in Mark 8:11-30, He challenges us to move past the surface-level excitement and truly see Him for who He is.Our Scripture comes from Mark 8:11-30.Click here for the message notes.
