What is tithing? What is the difference between a tithe and an offering? And more importantly, is tithing still for today? And do I have to? This week, Pr. Marc answers all these questions and reminds us that tithing is an elementary aspect of giving. Tithing, put plainly, is giving God what belongs to God. The purpose is to teach us to fear the Lord and to revere him, and that moves us toward tru...

Have you ever watched a movie trailer you were looking forward to? After watching it, there is a desire to see the movie. Scripture gives a trailer of eternity and the glory of God, which we cannot even fathom! The glimpses create a longing in us. Pastor Mark Thomas reminds us that the pursuit of God should be our greatest desire, and we cannot pursue deeply a God that we rarely behold. The more m...

Scripture tells us, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.” It is clear that Christ should have first place in our lives, but have you taken time to ask yourself, “What am I really seeking?” “Am I really seeking God?” In this week’s sermon, Pr. Marc encourages us to seek to become the person God is calling you to be. He reminds us not to al...

There is a difference between walking with Jesus and trying to earn something from Him. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Marc reminds us that the goal of our walk is LOVE, and that knowing God produces God's love in us. The Gospel is not “Try harder, and you will earn God’s love,” because you don’t have to earn what God has already given you! Christianity isn’t about doing things for the Lord. It’s a...

To God, yesterday doesn’t matter! God has presented us with today. This is our chance to hear and respond to His voice; leave behind all of our past actions and continue moving forward towards Jesus. The mistakes we made yesterday do not determine our walk. In this message, we are reminded to repent, remain in Christ, persevere in faith, and experience eternal life by knowing God. Do not look back...

Here's a dangerous thought that all believers should be leery of: “My master is not coming for a long time.”I have plenty of time.” This wrong belief about Jesus and His Return will influence your behavior. This week, Pastor Marc reminds us: We don't get to choose the culture around us….But we do get to choose whether the culture gets us. Jesus knows where you live and what you face. Difficult cir...

You will sometimes hear people say, “We are saved by faith alone,” but James 2:24 says, “You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” In this week's sermon, we are reminded that you cannot work your way into heaven. The Bible teaches process and journey. Pr. Marc also reminds us that it is possible to believe in Jesus and not be a follower of Jesus. He explains the differen...

There is something awesome about being chosen, especially when it's by the best chooser: Jesus! But when Jesus calls, a response is required. This week, Pr. Marc reminds us that following Jesus means allowing Him to become Lord of your life. As a follower, your life preaches that Jesus is Lord by the words you say and the life you live. Once you choose to follow, He promises to send us help, which...

In Luke 5:17-26, we get the story of the paralyzed man whose friends brought him before Jesus to be healed. In this week's sermon, Pr. Marc asks us, “Whom are you bringing to Jesus?” In this story, we see the faith of the paralyzed man's friends result in his own healing. The friends' genuine faith was active, not passive. Their desperation refused to let an obstacle prevent them from getting to J...

How do you picture your walk with God? If we had to visualize it, we would most likely picture it as a dark tunnel with glimpses of light. But why not the opposite? A journey down a tunnel that is beautiful, bright, and inviting! In this week's message, Shannon Hannah gave us the image of a flower tunnel with many doors. She reminds us that the Lord is with us through the journey and can be found...

The word says, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear…” How does someone progress from fear to love? The bible also tells us that to fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Wisdom starts with humility, and humility is acknowledging YOU can't win. You can't beat God! In our walk, Pr. Marc reminds us that every command from the Lord is backed by love and protection. Through tha...

Should we fear? Or should we not fear? Yes! Both! The fear of man produces anxiety, but the fear of the Lord produces trust, peace, and security. In this sermon, Pr. Marc reminds us that trust produces peace. Peace produces more trust, which produces more peace (perfect peace). The more you trust Him, the less you will fear everything else. Will you trust God today?

In our walk, from time to time, we wonder, “What is my purpose?” While we all have different callings, we all have the same assignment: to preach the gospel and make disciples. Scripture tells us, “Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men…(2 Cor 5:11). In this week's message, Pastor Marc reminds us that our fear of the Lord propels us to spread the good news! Our fear of man should...

We've all heard the phrase “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” but what does it really mean? If we're honest, many of us can identify areas in our lives where we fear the opinions of man more than we fear God. In this week's sermon, Pr. Marc reminds us that those who truly fear God recognize His greatness and authority. When we lose that reverent fear, we can drift into emotionally...

What does it really mean to FEAR the Lord? In this week's sermon, Pr. Mark Thomas breaks down the true biblical meaning of the fear of God as a deep awe, reverence, and worship of God for who He is. He walks us through scripture that reminds us that God delights in those who fear Him and that living in the fear of the Lord, rather than the fear of man, brings wisdom, protection, and provision from...

James 5:16 tells us that the prayers of the righteous accomplish much! This week, Pastor Marc helps us reflect on the fact that the giants of the faith mentioned in scripture, Elijah, Moses, Noah, etc., were ordinary men who prayed. We walked through passages that answer the question “What makes a person righteous”?, and we are reminded that you cannot be a slave to righteousness and a...

In scripture, we see Jesus protecting His prayer life. As followers of Christ, we are called to follow His example and do the same! In this week's message, Pr. Marc breaks down what prayer is….fellowship with God, and challenges us to make time for prayer daily. If Jesus made time for prayer, how much more do we need it in our lives?

Ever say to yourself, “God, I know you can do it, but will you do it for me?” In this week's message, Pastor Marc emphasizes the point that we worship God by faith. He tells us that faith is not demanding of God, but rather trusting Him! By this faith, we live a life of ‘because God says' and we don't live a life according to our understanding or desires.

Romans 10:17 states that “….faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Pr. Mack reminds us that in scripture, the disciples' faith led them to leave everything behind to follow Christ. To them, it was worth the sacrifice of leaving it all behind! “He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.” -Jim Elliott

There is danger in something that looks good but is not God. In this last part of the Mercy & Grace series, Pr. Marc reminds us that we cannot always trust that inner voice, nor every outer voice. We are to test every spirit as the scripture instructs us. Wisdom has us ask the question, “What did God actually say?” Are you willing to sacrifice what seems good….for what is Go...

In this continuation of the Mercy & Grace series, Pr. Marc reminds us that the Christian life is not about avoiding sin; It is about learning to walk with Christ through the wisdom that grace teaches! We are encouraged to ask the question, “Is this helping me pursue Christ, or slowing me down?” He goes over the differences between Internal Weights and External Weights to help us id...

This may be a hard pill to swallow, but we may be more like the older brother in the Prodigal story than we think! In this continuation of the Mercy and Grace series, Pr. Marc explains the difference between True Religion and False Religion and what they can produce in our walk. We are reminded that our obedience does not put God in debt to us. Obedience is a privilege…not leverage!

If you know who you are in Christ, what can man's opinion do to you? In Part II of this series, Pastor Marc walks through Scripture to reveal the heart of the Father: patient, compassionate, and pursuing you! God's mercy withholds what we deserve. Grace is receiving what you don't. Jesus provides grace so that faithfulness can happen. Grace saves, and grace empowers you to endure to the end!

Ever feel like you are not enough? This sermon dives deep into how to overcome imposter syndrome through faith, truth, and confidence in the Lord. Stop doubting and start believing in who God created you to be!

Do you feel like God is distant—or slow to respond? What if the waiting is actually mercy? Pastor Marc walks through Scripture to reveal the heart of God—patient, compassionate, and pursuing you. God's mercy withholds what we deserve. Grace is receiving what you don't. And both are invitations for a full reset. Thanks for tuning in. We're so glad you're here! If this message spoke to y...
