Come To The Table

Hard times come – where do you turn? It’s inevitable that sometime in your life, you’ll experience difficulty – a death of a loved one, an illness, a loss of income – it’s all a lot to take in and a lot to navigate through. In this teaching, Pastor Mark will share another difficult time in Moses’s life, a time when he had to experience trouble in the wilderness. God’s solution for Moses – and the...

Do you know what God wants you to do with your life? If you do, great! Now you get to wait on the Lord’s timing. That’s not easy to do – most of us want to jump right on in the deep end, ready to serve right here, right now! Put me in coach! But guess what – God may not want you to get started just yet. As you wait on God’s timing, don’t give up hope – and don’t get distracted! Lean into your Savi...

If you’re going through something right now, today’s message has some hope to provide. Pastor Mark will talk with you about ways God might be preparing you for a unique ministry. You’re in boot camp – training for the way in which God will be using you to bless someone else’s life! It’s not easy to go through a difficult situation. It doesn’t matter what it is – the hard times can seem endless and...

Pastor Mark today will be telling you about the call Moses received to save the people of Israel. It didn’t exactly start out well – Moses actually killed someone in the process. But did that disqualify him from being used by God? Not at all. And your past doesn’t disqualify you either. But – God needs to be the one to tell you when and where your ministry begins! You have unique gifts and talents...

Put yourself in the shoes of Moses’s mother for a moment – the ruler of the land you live in has ordered that your newborn son be killed. With faith, you’ve kept him a secret, and now you’re putting him in a basket in a river to end up in some unknown place – with an unknown life. Could you do it? Would you trust God with someone – or something – that valuable? Pastor Mark will encourage you to pu...

When you hear the word “slavery”, you likely think of people oppressing other people – but can you be enslaved to other things? Pastor Mark says yes – he’ll share how anyone can easily become a slave to surroundings, to things and status, and especially to addiction. But – don’t lose hope just yet. Pastor Mark will be talking today about Israel’s enslavement and their need for a deliverer. You nee...

The midwives of Egypt had been given a specific and deadly order at the time of Moses’s birth – they had to kill all of the baby boys born to Israelite women. This nation of people, God’s chosen people, were under attack by the enemy – and the midwives had to make a choice to either side with God or side with their leader. Thankfully, they chose to honor the Lord! As Pastor Mark will share today,...

Have you ever been in a situation where right and wrong are colliding? Where the things you know are good and God-honoring will be mocked by other people? Today, you’ll be introduced to some women who found themselves in that exact situation – with deadly consequences! As you heard Pastor Mark say, these women could have been killed by Pharoah simply for letting a baby live. What a terrifying posi...

The enemy is sneaky – he’s not going to announce himself. He’ll use whatever tactics he can to stop the message of Jesus getting through. It’s worked before – and you’ll see it firsthand as you join Pastor Mark for his study today! But since Jesus has come and changed people, is Satan still as much of a threat? The answer to that question is a resounding YES. Satan will continue to be a menace unt...

Satan doesn’t like God winning – he’s the enemy of faith, after all. Satan wants to stop people from hearing about salvation in Jesus, and if they do give their lives to Christ, he still gets in the way of growth. But this isn’t a new phenomenon – this enemy has been on the warpath from the very beginning! Pastor Mark is continuing his introduction of the book of Exodus today, a book that details...

Today, Pastor Mark begins a study in the book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible and one of the books of law. Now, you may look at this book and think it’s outdated – it’s useless because Jesus came and fulfilled the law already! Why would you even want to look at it? The law of the Lord is STILL so valuable to every person – but not because it will save you. It’s important because it reveals...

Do you remember playing Tug of War in elementary school? Both sides would wait for the whistle and then pull with all their might.

Are you digging in your heels? Do you feel a tug in one direction and...

Advertisements for food usually fit into two categories...describing what is IN the food or describing bad things that are NOT in the food. The smoothie is rich in antioxidants and vitamins....the granola bar does NOT have trans-fat or preservatives. In this teaching, Pastor Mark describes Heaven by explaining what will be there AND the flip side...what will NOT be in Heaven. Heaven will be filled...

In this message, Pastor Mark describes a perfect city created by the original architect...God . Words fall short of describing the future city of New Jerusalem, but John does his best in this chapter. Let’s try to picture it in our minds.

Our time here on Earth is temporary. But not in a BAD way. If you believe in Jesus as your savior, there are many more moments in time that will be far greater than any here on Earth. Joy without sorrow--love without loss--all this is to come. In this teaching, Pastor Mark explains what life will be like during the millennial rule of Christ--1000 years of a perfect Earth after Satan is bound. Know...

Have you ever gone through a hard time and felt incredibly alone...forgotten... without hope? In this message, Pastor Mark explains that John was alone in a prison on the island of Patmos when he wrote the Holy Spirit-inspired book of Revelation. John understood what it meant to be persecuted. God revealed to John that he would someday be seated on a throne. You can also be seated on a throne. Bel...

There are many songs written about peace on Earth. What a glorious thought!... No more fighting or wars. No more sadness or sickness. The Bible says that will actually happen after the Great Tribulation. Jesus will rule on the new perfect Earth for 1000 years. Peace will finally be a reality. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches that before the 1000-year rule of Jesus Christ...when perfect peac...

Most people prefer to picture Jesus as calm and peaceful. Rightly so... He IS the Prince of Peace. However, during the end times as described in the book of Revelation...Jesus shows another side. He is at war with the Antichrist. He is going to battle to settle the score once and for all. Today, Pastor Mark describes what Jesus will look like when He is headed to battle. It’s a graphic description...

Have you ever looked at gems in a museum before? There are some gems that are still rough...they haven’t been cut and polished. Then there are the cut and polished gems... They shine and glitter especially under the lights in the display at the museum. Behind the gems are mirrors that reflect the color and beauty of all the different stones. In today’s message, Pastor Mark talks about the New Heav...

Drug abuse is rampant around the world...destroying lives and tearing families apart...Many drugs are a bridge leading straight to destruction...it only takes one experience and a soul is addicted....waiting and longing for the next hit. Unfortunately, drugs are used by Satan to draw people away from God. Today, Pastor Mark teaches that there is HOPE in Jesus...He has power over evil. Instead of n...

Producing counterfeit money is illegal but that doesn’t stop people from printing it. They want to use it to buy items without having to do the hard work of earning money. One sin leads to another and then it pulls more people in. Today, Pastor Mark explains that Satan has similar tactics when he creates fake religions. He wants to lead people away from faith in Jesus. Satan will do everything in...

It’s a fake. Today, Pastor Marks explains that Satan has created FAKE religions that worship counterfeit idols. Before the flood, God told Satan his divine plan and how Jesus would defeat him...now Satan...

Revelation is often seen as a daunting book and rightly so. With all the devastation and destruction that it says is to come, that would make anyone fearful of the future. But rather than fear it, take heart and rejoice in it! If you’ve put your faith in Jesus, you already know He holds the future and you know He wins! Maybe you’re not sure if you know Jesus in an intimate way and this makes you f...
