In Week 1 of the Messy series, Pastor Curt Taylor kicked off with a message of hope centered on the story of Bartimaeus from Mark 10:46-52. Life is undeniably messy because our world is broken, and we are spiritually dead in our sins, completely unable to save ourselves. But God, rich in mercy and overflowing with love, steps into our mess through Jesus Christ to bring life, healing, and transformation. Pastor Curt reminded us that the gospel isn’t advice about what we should do but good news about what God has already done — and His grace has the power to make us alive and whole, no matter how messy our lives may be.
