Anchored Hope

There is nothing God won’t do or use, to get one of His people to believe! When we’re in a desperate time, a low valley, or any difficult situation, God will reach out and pick us back up, and give us the strength and courage to continue! In today’s message, Pastor Marc will share with you a few stories in the Bible of how God did amazing - just so they would believe and trust Him! So, as you go t...

When you’re going through a difficult season or situation, how do you respond? Do you respond in a kind and understanding way or an angry and frustrated way? Do you respond like Paul and Silas? In today’s message, Pastor Marc will encourage you to trust in the Lord, in the midst of those times of desperation, and respond by being with God! Take your time, as you’re struggling to pray and worship!...

The time we have here on earth is very limited. In comparison to our eternity with God, it’s nothing. It will go by in the blink of an eye. Along with our small amount of time here, we also have limited things. Our houses, our cars, our jobs, any and all possessions are one day going to cease to exist. In today’s message, Pastor Marc will remind you to save your treasures in heaven! Don’t be worri...

Can you praise God during your despair? Do you trust God enough to rejoice during hard times? Pastor Marc, today, encourages us to do just that. We can rise above our own hurt to see God's perspective on our situation. When we gain God's perspective, we can understand that there is a purpose for this hard time. God doesn't allow hard times to amuse Himself. He has a specific purpose in this hard t...

Did God ever send you to help someone? How did it turn out? In his message today, Pastor Marc tells us to be ready to go when God sends us to someone specific. It may be the person behind you in the grocery line. It may be someone you see on the street. It may even be someone who goes to church with you. It's an honor to serve God in this way. It's exhilarating to know that you heard from God and...

Does it drive you nuts to wait on God? You know what He wants, so why not do it now? Today, Pastor Marc cautions us to learn to rest in the wait. We might know what God wants us to do, but, many times, we don't know when He wants it done. Timing in God's Kingdom is so important. Untimely ministry can be devastating. It could do more harm than good. But how beautiful and fruitful ministry can be wh...

Do you feel all alone in your spiritual walk? Are you lost in a sea of people? In his message today, Pastor Marc encourages us to develop relationships with other believers who can help us grow spiritually. Indeed, we all need to be challenged, encouraged, and useful to someone else. Many times, we grow the most when we interact with others. People help us know God better, and God helps us relate...

Are you weary and loaded with worry? Could you use some rest for your soul? In his message today, Pastor Marc teaches us that when we spend time focused on Jesus, He'll give us rest. Indeed, our souls find deep rest when we call out to Jesus and spend time listening to His sweet, comforting words. Peace surrounds us like a warm blanket comforting our troubled souls when we go into His presence. It...

Are you that child? The one trying to improve The Master's work with a crayon? Today, Pastor Marc reminds us that salvation is by grace and not by our works. We nullify God's gift when we treat it as though it were simply a loan, one that we can pay back. We’re incapable of paying God back or of improving on His masterpiece. Jesus freely died for our sins. He doesn't require us to pay Him back. Le...

Did you know that God is a jealous God? He wants you. Do you have a "high place" that you need to tear down? Pastor Marc confesses today that God tells him of things in his own life that have replaced God. God is jealous when things take His place in our hearts. He doesn't like it when His place in our hearts is not honored above all else. Our time and attention indicate whom or what we value. God...

Are you running into opposition when you’re doing what God told you to do? It gets discouraging, doesn't it? In his message today, Pastor Marc teaches us that spreading God's truth usually brings opposition because the enemy doesn't attack lies. Don't give up when strong opposition arises. It came against Jesus, and it will come against us. The key to success is staying close to God and continuing...

Is your heart ready for Jesus to return to Earth? In today’s message, Pastor Marc teaches about how the Word of God is like the forerunner to Jesus’ return. We are called to straighten up our lives and prepare ourselves for Jesus to return at any moment. Although we may not know the time of His coming, being constantly prepared forces us to remain committed to righteousness, kind towards our neigh...

Have you ever looked at someone who has committed evil acts, yet professes to be a Christian, and wondered if they will end up in Heaven alongside you? In today’s message, Pastor Marc uses the story of David to provide an answer to this burning question. God loves imperfect people because no human can be fully free from sin. The redemptive power of Jesus allows for man to be reunited with God desp...

Aren’t you glad that God doesn’t give up on us, even when we have abandoned all hope for ourselves? In today’s message, Pastor Marc teaches about Paul and John Mark, who was initially viewed as a coward and deserter, but God redeemed his character and turned him into a valued member of the early Church. If you feel like you don’t belong in the body of Christ, bring those insecurities to God in pra...

Have you ever felt the Lord calling you in a different direction in your life, even when you thought you were being obedient on your current path? Sometimes God changes our paths at unexpected times or for unknown reasons. In today’s message, Pastor Marc encourages you to listen for the Lord’s guidance and don’t be afraid to change tracks when He is leading you in that direction. As long as you co...

Have you ever felt like you are required to act out good works because of your faith in Jesus? Although we are called to do good works for those around us, Pastor Marc teaches today that it is very easy to miss the point of doing good works. As a believer, you shouldn’t be trying to do good works in order to prove yourself before God or before man. Rather, your good works should come from a place...

In the world we live in, it is go, go, go, so fast-paced, there is very little time for rest, and when we do find time to rest our minds run crazy and we don’t get a refreshing and satisfying sleep to keep us going throughout the day. In today’s message, Pastor Marc will remind you to find your rest in the Lord! Make time for God and He will give you rest and refill you, so you can go out and be J...

There are SO many questions we wrestle with and constantly ask God about and most of the time we don’t get an answer or we don’t like the answer we get. In today’s message, Pastor Marc will encourage you to ask God to give you strength and acceptance of the unknown! The Lord knows all, He knows the answer to all these questions you have, and He withholds them to ultimately protect you! You must tr...

The Son of God, Jesus Christ, is SO selfless and loves you SO deeply that the only time He voiced His wants was to fight for you to be in heaven with Him for ALL eternity! Jesus was and is willing to trade His life for your sin…It almost seems too good to be true! In today’s message, Pastor Marc will remind you that to receive this wonderful gift, you must accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savi...

We see ALL over the Scriptures that it was and is extremely difficult for people to try and live for eternity. As Christians, we obviously want to live with God forever, but we don’t live in eternity yet… for now, we live with our fleshly desires, and that generally means we will try and feed our worldly wants and needs over our heavenly wants and needs. In today’s message, Pastor Marc will encour...

As much as we want to be quote-unquote good Christians, we also battle our fleshly desires. We constantly have a struggle with wanting what the world has to offer and what Jesus has to offer. We know that what Jesus has to offer is better, but we don’t always make the right choice when it comes down to it. In today’s message, Pastor Marc will encourage you to seek the Lord and not fall back into y...

If you are a Christian then you unmistakenly have a desire to be with Jesus…to be like Jesus! You constantly want to look more and more like Jesus Christ, to strengthen your spiritual life, which in turn strengthens your everyday life. In today’s message, Pastor Marc will remind you (and it sounds obvious and simple) that you can only be more like Jesus by spending quality time with Him! You can r...

The Lord generally doesn’t give us suggestions, He gives us commands, which we have the free will to decide for ourselves whether or not we will obey those commands. Whether we agree or not, is not the question. In today’s message, Pastor Marc will remind you that when Jesus is the center of your life when He is your savior, your everything, then the only proper and appropriate answer is, “Yes Lor...

Authentic openness with Jesus is a difficult thing for all people. Being completely open and honest with not only Jesus but also yourself, in various areas of our lives does not come naturally. In Today’s message, Pastor Marc will encourage you to be real and raw with Jesus! As people, Christians, and individuals we have a natural NEED for God! There is a God-size hole in your life that can only b...

Wanting to have a big impact, while striving to honor and serve the Lord, doesn’t always mean or have to be a giant, public gesture. The Lord also loves and desires the small, unnoticed, yet deeply thought-out acts of faith towards HIM! In today’s message, Pastor Marc will encourage you to see ALL of the different ways you can serve and help further the kingdom of God. Oftentimes times the little...
