In this message, Pastor Marc Williamson preaches from 1 Peter 1:1-7 on the living hope believers have in Jesus Christ.

This passage teaches us that Christians may feel like st...

Psalm 32 is a companion psalm to Psalm 51. While Psalm 51 emphasizes the sorrow and confession of David’s repentance, Psalm 32 focuses on the joy that follows repentance. In this message, Pastor Marc Williamson preaches on the blessedness of forgiveness and the restoring grace of God. David looks back on a season of hidden sin and spiritual heaviness, then celebrates the mercy of the Lord who forg...

The story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus gives powerful evidence of Christ’s resurrection while also revealing how the risen Savior ministers to discouraged believers. Though these disciples had heard reports of the empty tomb, sorrow and disappointment clouded their understanding and caused them to walk away in confusion. In this message, Pastor Marc Williamson explains how Jesus drew...

In this message from Psalm 51, Pastor Marc Williamson continues examining the nature of genuine repentance through David’s confession after his sin with Bathsheba. David acknowledges that no outward sacrifice or religious activity could truly atone for his sin, revealing that what GOD ultimately desires is “a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart.” This sermon explores the Old Testament con...

In this message from Ephesians 1:3–6, Pastor Marc Williamson preaches on the spiritual blessings every believer already possesses in Christ. Paul declares that God “hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” The question for the believer is not whether God has blessed us, but whether we understand and live in the reality of what we already have in Jesus Christ. Thi...

Pastor Marc Williamson preaches from 2 Corinthians 1:3–11 on the comfort God provides through His resurrection power. Paul teaches that God is “the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.” This comfort is more than human sympathy. It is the life-giving, strengthening power of the God “which raiseth the dead.” Through Paul’s severe trial in Asia, God brought him to the end of self-reliance a...

Ephesians 1 is filled with the staggering spiritual blessings that belong to every believer in Christ.

In this message, Pastor Marc draws our attention to the first words Jesus spoke from the cross: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” At the very moment of deepest suffering, Christ did not answer cruelty with revenge or hostility. Instead, He interceded for sinners. This sermon highlights the beauty and weight of Christ’s forgiveness. Jesus fulfilled prophecy, practiced what He...

After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, His followers were left in despair—but the resurrection changed everything. In this message, we are reminded that the risen Christ is not only our Savior, but the anchor of our soul—sure and steadfast. Hebrews 6 presents both a warning and a promise. Those who hear the Gospel yet delay or reject Christ are in danger of drifting away without hope. But those wh...

In this message from Psalm 51, we continue looking at David’s inspired prayer of repentance and the marks of genuine brokenness before God. David does not stop at asking for mercy and forgiveness. He goes deeper, confessing the sinful nature beneath his outward transgressions and pleading for inward change. This sermon emphasizes that true repentance is not a shallow response or mere words of regr...

In this message from Matthew 27:26, we revisit the suffering of Christ on the road to Calvary. Before Jesus was crucified, He was scourged, mocked by Roman soldiers, clothed in a scarlet robe, crowned with thorns, and led away to die. Yet none of this happened apart from the will of God. Christ willingly endured every blow, every insult, and every sorrow so that sinners could be redeemed. This ser...

In this message, The Peril of the Pretender, we examine the life of Judas Iscariot as a sobering warning to all who profess faith in Christ.

This sermon highlights the danger of a false profession and calls for honest self-examination. It reveals key warning signs seen in...

In Matthew 26:36–46, we are brought into the Garden of Gethsemane—a place of deep sorrow, intense prayer, and complete surrender.

Though there was no struggle at His arrest or crucifixion, there was a great internal battle in the garden. In this sacred moment...

In Part 4 of this series through Psalm 51, Pastor Marc Williamson focuses on David’s plea: “Have mercy upon me, O God.” This message shows that true repentance is marked by a deep awareness of sin, humility before God, and an earnest appeal for mercy.

In the final message of the 2026 Missions Conference, Dr. Bo Wagner preached from Acts 18 about Paul’s ministry in the city of Corinth. Corinth was a wealthy and influential city filled with paganism and immorality, yet God used Paul’s faithful preaching to establish a church there. Through the Gospel, lives were transformed—including Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, and many others who believ...

In this message from the Tuesday night service of the 2026 Missions Conference, Dr. Bo Wagner continues the story of the Gospel’s arrival in Europe. After Lydia’s salvation in Philippi, the darkness immediately pushed back.

During the Monday night service of the 2026 Missions Conference, Dr. Bo Wagner preached from Acts 16 about the moment when God directed the Apostle Paul to carry the Gospel into Europe.
