Ashe Alliance Sermons

In Mark 10:13–22, Jesus welcomes children and rebukes His disciples, teaching that the kingdom belongs to those who come in humble dependence. He then confronts a rich young ruler who seeks eternal life through effort, exposing his misplaced trust in both his morality and his wealth. The contrast is clear: those who receive like children enter the kingdom, while those who rely on themselves walk a...

God’s Word was never meant to stop with us. In this message from 2 Timothy 2, we’re reminded that discipleship is not complete until it multiplies. Will you be the link that holds?

To accomplish the mission God gave us, we must understand the purpose of the church and our place in it—making and multiplying disciples in the power and presence of Christ.

In Mark 9, Jesus calls us to pursue unity with His people while taking radical, uncompromising action against sin.

In Mark 9 Jesus prepares His disciples for His coming death, they argue about who is the greatest. Their silence and pride reveal how easily the human heart drifts toward status over surrender. Jesus responds by turning their understanding upside down: true greatness is not found in being first, but in becoming last, serving others, and welcoming the least. In doing so, we reflect Christ Himself,...

Power isn’t found in the strength of your faith but in the object of your faith. A weak faith placed in a strong Savior is enough, because the power belongs to Him.

What do you do when the mountaintop moment fades? In Mark 9, Jesus reveals His glory to prepare His disciples for suffering. This sermon explores how seeing Christ clearly changes how we walk through confusion, hardship, and everyday life. Because the goal isn’t to stay on the mountain—it’s to trust Him in the valley.

Many want a victorious Savior without suffering, but Jesus makes it clear: His mission includes the cross, and so does ours.

What do you actually see when you look at Jesus? In Mark 8, a blind man’s gradual healing mirrors our own journey from confusion to clarity. This sermon walks through how God opens our eyes, draws out faith, and leads us to a defining question: Who do you say Jesus is?

Good Friday Service

Good Friday ended in silence—but Easter morning did not. In Mark 16:1–7, we see how God meets grieving hearts, solves what we cannot, and declares the victory of a risen Christ. This message calls us out of spiritual resignation and into resurrection living, where even our failures are met with restoring grace.

Jordan Newman takes a deep dive into Mark 8:1-21 with Jesus miraculously feeding the 4,000 and the unbelief on the Pharisees.

The unworthy and broken are made worthy and whole through the love of Jesus.

Humble, persistent faith is the pathway to experiencing the mercy of Christ.

Jesus' radical teaching in Mark 7:14–23 upends Jewish dietary laws, pinpointing the heart as the source of all defilement: a catalog of 13 sins from evil thoughts to foolishness. Jesus calls us to examine our own hearts, echoing Jeremiah's warning of the deceitful heart, and calls us to the only cure: Christ's heart transplant, transforming sinners into saints by grace alone.

In "Defilement of Truth" from Mark 7:1–13, Nate Roten warns that human traditions often silently eclipse God's Word, turning helpful practices into sacred idols that nullify divine commands—like the Pharisees' Corban loophole dodging parental honor. Drawing from Jesus' rebuke of hypocrites whose lips honor God but hearts wander, this message urges believers to examine their spiritual habits: Why d...

When disciples, fresh from miracles, face a midnight storm in Mark 6:45–56, Jesus strides across waters to "pass by" them like God's glory to Moses—yet terror grips their uncomprehending hearts, unmoved even as winds obey Him. Gennesaret's crowds, however, run with bold faith for healing. Friend, Jesus sees your struggles from afar; He's not exposing flaws but calling for recognition—will you, unl...

When life's overwhelming needs—like a hurting friend, drifting child, or fractured world—expose your inadequacy, remember the Shepherd of Mark 6:30–44: He commands rest amid chaos, responds to crowds with gut-wrenching compassion, shatters human plans with divine impossibilities, and provides extravagantly from meager offerings, proving His sufficiency for every soul He shepherds.

"John’s life may have ended in a prison cell, but his influence reached the palace. His voice was silenced, yet his message still echoed in Herod’s conscience. That’s what faithful witness does—it lingers. It plants seeds that take root. It shapes how people think about Jesus."

Amazed in the Presence unpacks Mark 6:1–6, showing Jesus' power withheld in His hometown not by inability, but by their spiritual resistance despite overwhelming proof. Offended by His ordinary roots, the people stumbled over the "stumbling block of unbelief." Nate Roten invites you relationally: What is Jesus amazed at in your life—growing faith or resisted truth? Repent, believe, and step into H...

Advent series continues with "The Light We Cannot Hide," urging transformed hearts to walk worthy as children of light (Ephesians 5:8-11). Pastor Nate Roten explores exalting Jesus in every sphere, reflecting His purity amid a crooked generation, producing goodness and truth, and exposing fruitless deeds—equipping you with identity-grounded applications to illuminate the world with Christ's unstop...

In "The Light We Cannot Ignore," Pastor Nate Roten unveils Jesus as the inescapable Light from John 1 and 3 who reveals His eternal divinity, confronts our sin-shadowed hearts, exposes evil deeds, and demands a response—either repentant reception into God's family or rebellious rejection. Like a midnight lamp jolting us awake, Christ's incarnation pierces darkness we once called normal, offering m...

Darkness surrounds us until the promised Light breaks in to deliver us.

In Mark 4:26–34, Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God grows like a mustard seed—small, hidden, and yet destined to become something great. This passage challenges us to embrace the ordinary, trust God’s timing, and find hope in the slow, steady work of the Spirit, knowing that what feels insignificant today may one day provide shelter and sustenance for many.
