Come To The Table

Do you get intimidated or nervous when asked to share your testimony? If so, you’re not alone. It can be challenging at times to open up and share. But know that when you do, you’re likely helping other people who have had a similar journey or experience. People relate to testimonies, which is why they’re powerful. In today’s message, Pastor Mark expresses to you the importance that testimonies pl...

Do you view death as a gain? The Bible says that to live is Christ and to die is gain. But often in the world of “chasing the fountain of youth culture,” it can be terrifying to think about death. However, when you’re secure in where you’re going to spend eternity, death has no sting. Those who are in Christ have nothing to truly lose. In today’s message from Pastor Mark, he encourages you to know...

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! Don’t forget! The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. He doesn’t want you to have freedom. He desires to control and force you to his ways. But that is never the case with the God we read about in the Bible. He offers you a life that is fruitful and abundant. As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Mark, he shares with you that God is pe...

If you grew up in a Christian family, can you trace back through the generations when your family members first got saved? Was it through your grandparents, or even your great-grandparents? Does it go back further? God’s faithfulness and blessings are passed down through the generations. Isn’t that so amazing?! Today, Pastor Mark teaches that Daniel was promoted to be the leader of all the wise me...

Did you know that God uses even Satan to accomplish His purposes? Satan can only do the things that God permits him to do. If even the prince of demons is under God’s control, then how much more are presidents, kings, CEOs, and world leaders under the control of the King of kings and Lord of Lords? In today’s message, as Pastor Mark teaches about Nebuchadnezzar's dream, he shows you that God is in...

Have you ever had a situation that made you so desperate for God’s help? Daniel and his three friends sure did! Unless they could do the impossible task of telling the king what his dream was and what it meant, they would be executed! There was nothing they could do except cry out to God for help. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches you that turning to God is the best thing you can do during t...

What are some of the biggest trials and difficulties that God brought you through? Maybe it was illness, broken relationships, or financial struggles. While those experiences were so painful at the time, looking back on them now, you can probably see God’s faithfulness and goodness working through those experiences. Today, Pastor Mark teaches you that as you grow in your faith, God will allow the...

Have you ever made a stand like Daniel did in refusing to eat food that would defile him? At the moment, it may have not seemed like such a big deal. He just ate a vegetarian diet. But in today’s message, Pastor Mark highlights the importance of being faithful to God in the small decisions and opportunities in your life. In what areas of your life will you commit to being faithful to God? Maybe it...

Do your non-Christian friends and co-workers know that you’re a Christian because of the things you do and don’t do? Maybe they notice that you don’t use foul language or get drunk. Maybe they’ve seen your work ethic and generosity. In today’s text, we see that Daniel had good judgment and strong convictions to be a faithful witness. Today, Pastor Mark teaches you that, like Daniel, you must let y...

Satan is after our children so that he can ruin the next generation. Look at what they’re teaching students today, from elementary schools to universities. Our kids are being indoctrinated to think and act in ways that go against God, from gender fluidity and homosexuality to evolution and denying the existence of God. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches that this has been one of Satan’s oldes...

No child likes to be disciplined, and no parent likes to discipline their child. However, it’s necessary in order to correct the wayward behavior and teach them the proper way. The children may not see or understand the benefits now, but later on, they’ll reap the benefits that the discipline provided for them. In the same way, our heavenly Father also disciplines us because we are His beloved chi...

Many people doubt that the book of Daniel was actually written by the biblical character Daniel because the prophecies contained in the book, written several hundred years before the actual events, are so accurate! They claim that there’s no way that anyone could have predicted those events so far back! In today’s message, Pastor Mark gives you several pieces of evidence to support the historical...

As Pastor Mark continues his teaching series, he’ll be reminding you that His people will be kings and priests in the New Jerusalem. God introduces the idea of a royal priesthood, describing Israel as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, and later John writes to the churches explaining that the church is a kingdom of priests also. The four living creatures echo this concept as well in Revelatio...

The New Jerusalem, which is also called the Tabernacle of God, the Holy City, the City of God, and Heavenly Jerusalem, is literally heaven on earth. Today, Pastor Mark will be explaining the symbolism in the beautiful details that God will create in the future for His people who have received Jesus for salvation. The New Jerusalem will be a place of unimagined blessing. The curse of the old earth...

As Pastor Mark continues his teaching series through the book of Revelation, he’ll be reminding you that no matter what you’re going through, there will be a Day when God Himself will wipe away every tear and there will no longer be any pain and suffering. We will dwell in Paradise with God Himself! How humbling is this heart-rending picture of God Himself reaching down in the most intimate and te...

As Pastor Mark teaches through Revelation today you may ask yourself: “Why will God release Satan at the end of the millennial reign of Jesus Christ?" There are some biblical questions that we cannot answer on this side of glory because God has chosen to reserve some mysteries to Himself, and we have a finite mind. The believers who live through the tribulation will be mortal. All those who are bo...

Have you ever seen two things that, at first glance, looked exactly the same, but one was much more expensive than the other? They may be the same item, or accomplish the same task, but the expensive one has a much nicer appearance, and maybe a few other additional features. In today’s message, Pastor Mark explains that even though all who accept Jesus are saved and nothing can change that, you ca...

Do you have a plan for the future? Many people plan for the future by setting up some sort of investment account with the goal of being financially secure. Others invest in expensive things hoping the value will increase. When you think of planning for the future, is your first concern money? For most people it is. In today’s message, Pastor Mark warns that you cannot place your hope in money and...

Have you ever been accused of something, or have people assumed things about you because of where you live? All too often where you live or work can influence the way people see you. You may be able to convince them otherwise through actions, but many times you have to leave that place. In today’s message, Pastor Mark explains how engaging in the sins of where you live or work will result in you b...

Sometimes a small group of people can ruin things for everyone. For example, a small group of teenagers could constantly cause trouble in a shopping center, and as a result, no one under 18 is allowed in alone. Sometimes people behave so badly they are not allowed to participate in activities with others. In today’s message, Pastor Mark explains how some demons were so terrible that God had them l...

Have you ever had to share information with only a certain person but you knew it had to go through others? Maybe you were planning a surprise party and needed to come up with a way to make plans that only you and a select few could understand. You could have used pictures or even code words to maintain confidentiality. If you ever wonder why the book of Revelation is full of odd imagery, Pastor M...

Do you know someone who seems to follow whatever the new trend is? They have to have the newest thing they saw on TV or social media only to drop it for whatever comes next. That is how many people treat religion. They jump from one religion to the next or try to combine multiple into one but are never satisfied. In today’s message, Pastor Mark warns that following other religions that worship any...

Have you ever thought you were in control of something only to find out it was only an illusion? Maybe you had a job where you thought you had the power to make decisions or changes, but as soon as a big decision needed to be made someone came in and overturned everything you had tried to do. In today’s message, Pastor Mark reminds you that no matter how much you think you can change, God is the o...

Have you ever had to go through an excruciating training program in order to accomplish a goal or secure a certification of some kind? You probably knew you would have to suffer for a little while so you could do the next thing when it was over. What if the suffering never ended? Would you still want the same things? In today’s message, Pastor Mark reminds you that contrary to what some people bel...

What is the most important thing in your life? Is it a material possession, a person… is it God? What’s most important today may not be the same as it was when you were younger. For many people, it’s their children or spouse. For others, it may be a car or something sentimental from their past. As Pastor Mark will point out today, what you find most important in your life is your “god”; it’s almos...
