Come To The Table

In ancient times shepherds would herd their sheep into an enclosure for safekeeping. That enclosure was a safe place with only one way in. Do you know where the shepherd sat? At the entrance of course! The shepherd himself was literally the door to the sheepfold. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches us that when Noah built the ark that it too only had one way. That door was much like Jesus as t...

We’re so spoiled with all the options we have today. Want to listen to music? Hop on your preferred app and listen to anything you want! Wanna watch a movie? It’s just as easy! Need groceries? All the major stores will deliver exactly what you want to your front door. In today’s message, Pastor Mark reminds us that Jesus is the only way to be saved from the judgment of God. You can’t pop open an a...

So many people lump the Bible in as being just another ancient book of mythology. There certainly are some interesting stories found in it. Like a man surviving in the belly of a giant fish for three days and an entire nation crossing through the middle of the sea on dry land. In today’s message, Pastor Mark presents to us scientific evidence for one of the most controversial events found in the B...

Many times people will go against the norm just to get attention. They’re only looking to get ahead in life and to stand out in the crowd. The problem is that it’s still the crowd that they’re trying to please. How many will go completely against the crowd simply because it’s the right thing to do? In today’s message Pastor Mark teaches us that like Noah was, we’re also called to be preachers of r...

If you have someone in your life that’s constantly going against everything you stand for and they never listen to anything you say, what would you do? Isn’t the current-day motto we embrace to cut out all the toxic people? What if God cut out all the toxic people in the world? In today’s message Pastor Mark teaches us that one day God will cut off all the unrighteous, but also that He’s long suff...

It’s impossible to look at any source of news today without getting some kind of bad news. The truth is that in the days we live wickedness is a regular occurrence. We can’t go a single day without hearing about corruption, violence, and sexual immorality. Pastor Mark teaches us in today’s message that the days we live in are becoming increasingly more like the days of Noah. In the Bible, God says...

When your kid puts their hand too close to the hot stove top, your reaction is probably going to scare them. That’s a good thing! You want your kid to be afraid of getting burnt. You want them to have a healthy fear that keeps them from touching that hot stovetop. In today’s Message Pastor Mark teaches us that even though the gospel is a message of good news and love, it also comes with a serious...

Can you imagine opening up a diner with the best food ever and wanting to just get people in to eat? What if you went out into the streets and invited anyone and everyone to come in and try your food, for free? Imagine now, that no one would come in and eat. In today’s message Pastor Mark teaches us about how God gave Noah one hundred and twenty years to warn the people that the flood was coming,...

We’ve all seen at one point or at least heard of the guy standing on the street corner holding a sign that says, “REPENT - THE END IS NEAR.” Some of us wonder, what does he mean by near? How many years has that guy been standing there waving his sign? In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches us about the necessity for God to judge sin. The Bible teaches us that God’s merciful, gracious, and long-su...

For those that have children, we know what it's like to teach them to walk close to us. The more dangerous our surroundings are, the closer we teach them to walk. The further they wander, the more likely they are to get lost or hurt in some way. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches us that a man named Enoch walked so close to God that he just stayed with HIm forever. Do you know of any better p...

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine the past civilizations that once filled the earth. We tend to think that today we’re the most sophisticated civilization yet. What we fail to recognize is that those who came before us were not all that different. They had jobs and families and had to put food on the table too. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches us that not only were those that came before us li...

The world is ruled by Satan and will go to great lengths to deny and disprove anything that has to do with God and His Word. As Pastor Mark will point out in today’s message, science, paleontology, and archaeology have offered evidence that supports Scripture, but instead of acknowledging this, many continue to adapt their belief in a godless, chaotic universe to fit their findings. You can place...

You may think your kids won’t notice when you let out an expletive while driving… until the next time they accidentally drop a toy and here comes that same word… Kids are like sponges. If you’ve been blessed with the privilege to be a parent, don’t waste it. You need to be purposeful about setting a good example. How can you set a good example? Is it really even worth it? How can you model Godline...

As a Child of God, sin should no longer rule in your life. When you ask Jesus to save you and become the Lord of your heart, you won’t lose your ability or tendency to sin. It may be diminished, but more than that you should have a new motivation to live a life that honors your Savior. The word sin is derived from an archery term for missing the mark. If you’ve ever shot a bow, you know how hard i...

Have you received Christ as your Lord and Savior? Even the demons know about Christ and believe He’s the Son of God. Just believing isn’t enough. Many people in our world may attend a church and they generally subscribe to Christian values, but they’ve never actually made Jesus the Lord of their heart. In today’s message, Pastor Mark will remind us that accepting Jesus as our Savior is crucial. If...

Do you give a sacrifice of worship even when you don’t feel like it? As Pastor Mark continues his teaching series through the book of Genesis, he’ll be challenging you to remove anything out of your life that's causing you to lack devotion and worship towards God. Idolatry will draw you slowly away from God’s presence. Sometimes your home, even family can become idols that draw you away from since...

Today, Pastor Mark will be explaining how it’s possible to offer sacrifices and praise that are not acceptable to God. All throughout the Bible, there are examples of offerings and sacrifices that are acceptable and also not acceptable. The acts of worship not acceptable all have to do with a poor condition of the heart. If you offer anything to the Lord and it’s not in faith, it won’t be acceptab...

As Pastor Mark continues his teaching series, he’ll be reminding you that God desires true and genuine worship. Too often people come to church and act like they’re worshiping God, but their heart isn’t really right with the Lord. First, settle your spiritual state with the Lord, and then participate in worship. Jesus Himself said that if you have a problem with a brother, first settle that issue...

God desires you to not only receive forgiveness of your sins, but He wants you to experience the fullness of joy in your life. You shouldn’t have a less satisfying life when you come to the Lord, you should have the most fulfillment as you obey and serve the Lord. God knows exactly what brings true joy, and it’s found in Him. Today, Pastor Mark will be challenging you to take time out of every day...

All throughout the Old Testament, God spoke to humanity about the need for a sacrifice due to man's sinful condition. The Lord was preparing the world for the coming Messiah, Jesus the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The moment Adam and Eve sinned, a sacrifice was needed to cover their sin. God didn’t have to make a provision for your sin, but because of His love for you, He chos...

God knew that man would fall in the Garden of Eden. God is sovereign and knows all things. Today, Pastor Mark will be explaining how God in His great love for you, made a plan to provide a substitutionary sacrifice for your sins. The Lord made a way for the world to have fellowship with Him again! The devil wants nothing more than to continuously barrage you with fiery darts so that you grow disco...

Everything on this earth is decaying. Our bodies slow down, the car starts to rust, and the treasures you store in the attic collect dust. Nothing on this earth was made to last, and none of it will. And ultimately, that’s one of the consequences of sin entering our world. This narrative of death and decay isn’t the end of the story though. There is hope and redemption through Jesus! Although the...

The standard for what is right and what is wrong has to come from the Bible. If you go by man’s standard, then right and wrong would shift with each generation that comes and goes. In fact, you can see that at work right now. Things that would’ve never been accepted decades ago are celebrated and lifted up. Our standard can never be determined by another person, even if that person is a pastor or...

It’s easy to make a promise if you have no intention of keeping it. You can promise anything to anyone and be a hero…until it comes time to make good on your promise. Then the truth will come to light and you’ll be known for the liar you are. Satan is really good at making promises too. But he’s the father of lies, and he has no intention of keeping those promises. Today Pastor Mark exposes Satan...

Humankind is doomed without Jesus. From the time we are born, we have a sinful condition that separates us from God. There’s absolutely nothing we can do to close the gap between us. Even perfection is not enough. That would be really hopeless if it was the end of the story. But thankfully, it’s not. God knew we couldn’t close the gap by ourselves, so He made a way to do it. He sent His Son to ear...
