1. Short Summary Mark teaches the next message in the Deep Christian Community series, which John has been leading.

In Part 2 of the Getting Real series, Mark moves from last week's teaching on the masks we wear to a bigger question: how does a church build a culture of honesty? He opens with the story of Mary, a committed teenage camper who met God in a powerful way after she finally told Him her anger about her father's suffering. His main point is that we experience as much of God as we are honest with Him,...

He argues that you cannot love someone you do not know, so a pleasant lie does more damage than an unpleasant truth, and dishonesty is not a threat to relationship but the opposite of it. Using four hand-drawn graphs, he shows how we build a "photoshopped" self-image out of our best moments whi...

Guest Speaker Shayne Mims. God wants to do something in your life, right now in this moment. What are you willing to release to Him?

In this message, I share a deeply personal and difficult encounter with God that exposed the subtle sins of judgment, pride, self-importance, and spiritual blindness. What began as overwhelming conviction became a holy moment of revelation, repentance, and unforgettable grace. This message explores how God uses conviction to bring restoration rather than condemnation, and how encounters with His h...
