Come To The Table

When you think of suffering, does anything good come to mind? In today's message, Pastor Mark will point out that sometimes what you need to go through in your walk with The Lord is suffering. Not because of something you did to deserve it, but to bring you to a place of dependence on God to get you through it. It's important to look for God's guidance and wisdom in hard times and in the good time...

Once you give your life to Christ and commit to following God, you're called to much more than just salvation. You're called to serve! Serve fellow believers in the church, serve your family and friends around you, and serve with the joy of The Lord! It's your relationship with God bearing fruit in your life. It's important to always ask God what He wants you to do next for ministry. Today, Pastor...

Paul knew the importance of telling the Ephesians the things he had on his heart about Jesus. They needed to hear about Jesus again and be moved in their faith. When Paul saw the need, he stayed up all day and night teaching them and ministering to them. God gave him the ability, and he was faithful to use it. It's important to serve where you know it's needed and where you know that God is callin...

If you heard God calling you to do a work in ministry, right now, would you go? Would you ask questions first to know exactly what's going to happen? Or would you just go and trust God to work out the details along the way? He wants to work through you, but you have to be obedient when He finally calls you. In today's message, Pastor Mark is going to explain how you need to be ready to go where Go...

God can use you to change the environment around you. It might just be your family, but it could also be your entire city or state! Are you ready to move when God calls you? God's Spirit in you is stronger than the power of anything that stands against you. When God sees you commit to Him, He'll move through you. As you'll get to see in today's message with Pastor Mark, God can use anyone to chang...

God is always in control. Sin will always be in the world, just like it always has been. Sometimes it might be hard to resist the temptation of sin. But in God, there's strength to get through those times. In God, you have a hope for eternity. He holds the world in His hands and can bring you through all that you face. Today, Pastor Mark will remind you to trust in God through the newest trends in...

Following God isn't guaranteed to be easy. Oftentimes, it's quite the opposite. There's a cost to following God, and that's doing what He wants for your life instead of following your earthly pleasures. As Pastor Mark will show you in today's message, it's important to keep your commitment to God to enjoy the life He has for you. When temptations become strong and when it's hard to follow God's wi...

Once you give your life to Christ, it should look different. People should notice something different about you. The faith you have is meant to be shared with as many people as you can reach. Everywhere you go is an opportunity to reach more people for Christ. Is He alive in your heart and reaching people through you? The way you live should attract people to the same hope you have. How you live y...

What does it mean to be a believer and to be filled with the Holy Spirit? In today’s message, Pastor Mark explains the simplicity of these truths. He states that to become a Christian, one only needs to admit they are a sinner and believe in Jesus as Savior. The Holy Spirit is in every believer at the moment of salvation. Many do not experience the power of the Holy Spirit because they have not em...

God not only saves us for His Kingdom work but also provides the Holy Spirit to equip us for the Christian life. In today’s message, Pastor Mark shares three key functions of the Holy Spirit that we receive at Salvation. He explains that the Holy Spirit is within us, walks alongside us, and empowers us. When we are saved, the Holy Spirit immediately indwells us. We are sealed and secure by His con...

Is it permissible for Jews who have been converted to retain their Jewish customs? Is it acceptable for Christians to participate in Jewish events or ceremonies? In his message today, Pastor Mark addresses these activities and explains when they become an obstacle and the parameters of this freedom. Engaging with another person's culture can enhance our understanding of non-believers and make shar...

There is a barrier of unbelief that prevents people from knowing and experiencing Christ. Only God can remove these obstacles that hinder individuals from receiving Him. In his message today, Pastor Mark discusses how God uses everyday people to help break down these invisible barriers that separate us from God. Pastor Mark emphasizes that nothing is more powerful than Christ’s love. People are dr...

There are moments when God’s provision confirms your calling. Today, Pastor Mark shares a personal testimony of God’s provision during his early ministry. Throughout scripture, whenever God calls someone, He also provides for them. This truth remains valid today: wherever God guides, He provides. Paul was a tent maker in addition to being a missionary. Often, God calls ministers to work in secular...

Are you waiting until you feel more knowledgeable about the Scriptures before you begin witnessing? In today’s message, Pastor Mark addresses this way of thinking and highlights its fallacy. He reminds us that the gospel is simple to share. It is not dependent on your intellect and your persuasive speech. The apostle Paul tried to convert the leaders of Athens using reason and intellect. Later, he...

How handy are you? Can you patch drywall? Swap out a dead outlet? Do you know how to frame out a door? One of the most essential skills for any homeowner to know is how to repair a leak. As any plumber knows, the first step to stopping a leak is turning off the supply, preventing water from hindering the repair. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches that the most practical way to fix a leaky spi...

Behind every immaculately trimmed lawn and hidden trash can in the city’s finest subdivision is a wonderful thing called an HOA covenant. They keep cars from parking on the street and make sure all house modifications fit the theme of the neighborhood, but they sure keep things looking great! Today, Pastor Mark teaches that many believers treat tithing like paying HOA dues and expect church member...

It’s so easy to take our food for granted. If you think about the quickest meal you can probably get – a McDonald’s cheeseburger – consider how long it took to be created. The cow for the patty had to grow for several years, as did the wheat for the bun. The lettuce, tomato, and onion didn’t just appear overnight! In today’s message, Pastor Mark isn’t talking about burgers, but he will teach you t...

In society, there are all kinds of false gods and idols. Whether it’s social justice issues, sports, food, or social media… all of them can become gods that separate us from the one true God. They creep in and steal our attention, drawing us away from Jesus. It’s often said that if the devil can’t get your heart, he will make you busy. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches that Paul sets an exam...

People used to walk miles…not steps, not just to the other room, but miles just to read the Word of God and fact-check what they heard to what God said. That is unheard of in today’s society. More often than not, people just take what they hear and either forget about it or take it with the accountability of a person. In today’s message, Pastor Mark will challenge you…how often do you read your Bi...

God works in ways that are incomprehensible to our minds. But He gave us His word, the living Bible, to be able to understand a sliver of what He has done, is doing, and even will do! The Bible is a way for us to accept the unknown and learn to trust God because He has proven trustworthy over and over again! In today’s message, Pastor Mark will invite you to fact-check everything you come across i...

Whether you’re already a Christian or still on the fence, God has amazing things in store for you! Look to God in awe, in patient expectation of what He IS going to do in your life, and He will show up! Simply keeping your eyes on the Lord and trusting He has complete control over your life will bring rest! In today’s message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to worship, to focus on the good God has...

No matter what it is we may be facing, whether anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts, worship is our best option. Worship will always be our way out of darkness and a winning weapon against the devil. Praising God even in our struggles will literally drive satan away in fear of who our God is! In today’s message, Pastor Mark will recognize that stress, anxiety, and depression are all very real...

It’s almost unthinkable to sing, to praise God, to worship in the midst of our suffering. Life can be really hard sometimes. It was really hard for Paul and Silas, and yet they found the strength to thank God with their voices, despite their circumstances. Despite the agony they were experiencing. In today’s message, Pastor Mark will show you how God is that strength. God is your strength when you...

Spiritual warfare is a very real thing we face in today’s day and age. The devil uses everything and anything he can get his hands on to pull you away from God and the things of God. Distractions, such as screaming kids, busy schedules with no time to relax, are all meant to stress you out and drag you from God. In today’s message, Pastor Mark will share that, as real as those battles are, God has...

In today’s message, Pastor Mark shares about the missionary journey that Paul and his companions took. One remarkable thing about their journey was that as they sailed by ship across the sea, they were able to take a straight course. This really was noteworthy because typically, the wind direction would work against them, but on this particular voyage, it was exactly what they needed. Have you eve...
