Flowing Truth

The night before the cross, Jesus went into the garden, fell on his face, and prayed one of the most honest prayers ever recorded. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what thou wilt. Pastor Poke keeps going through the series A Servant's Memoir and this week takes a slow look at the heart of the greatest Servant who ever lived. If you want to know what a servant's heart really looks like, w...

Praise In Your Prison | Acts 16 | Brandon Stone Paul and Silas didn't stumble into that prison. They were dragged there. Beaten in front of a mob, thrown into the inner cell, and locked in the stocks. And at midnight, in the deepest, darkest place they had ever been, they started to sing. Brandon Stone preaches from Acts 16 on what happens when you praise God in the place you never asked to be...

Pastor Poke Shuler continues the Memoirs of a Servant series in Mark 14, preaching a message about Peter and the moment he was hindered in his walk with God. Every one of the disciples said they would die before they denied Christ. And every one of them scattered when the pressure came. The Gethsemane is the oil press. It is the place of great pressure where everything in you gets squeezed out. Th...

Pastor Poke Shuler preaches from Mark 14 on the meal and the hymn that took place just before everything fell apart in the Mount of Olives. Knowing full well what was coming, Jesus sat down with his disciples, broke bread, poured the cup, and then they sang. That is the picture this message lives in. The fellowship of the servant's supper, the fellowship of the Savior's sacrifice, the fell...

Pastor Poke Shuler preaches from Mark 14 on Judas Iscariot — a man who walked with Christ, sat at his table, and witnessed everything the other eleven witnessed. He had every opportunity. And he still walked away. The word hazard means a chance, a probability, something that can go wrong based on what we do or fail to do. Judas's life was full of hazards not because of one bad moment, but beca...

God Save the King | Flowing Truth Honey Brook Baptist Church | Honey Brook, PA | Preached by Pastor Poke Shuler | May 10, 2026 In Second Kings 11, a wicked grandmother seizes a throne by slaughtering the royal family. But one woman — an aunt named Jehosheba — notices a baby in the chaos and makes a decision that changes everything. She steals him away, hides him in the house of God, and spends six...

They Worshiped Him | Flowing Truth Honey Brook Baptist Church | Honey Brook, PA | Preached by Kevin Markham | May 3, 2026 There are moments in life when everything around us feels like open water; no land behind us, no shore ahead. In Matthew 14, the disciples found themselves exactly there: in the middle of the sea, tossed by waves, fighting the wind through the darkest hours of the night. It was...

PODCAST DESCRIPTION A Memorial of Honor Flowing Truth | Honey Brook Baptist Church | Preached by Pastor Poke Shuler | April 26, 2026 What kind of story is your life telling? In Mark 14, a woman walks into a room carrying an alabaster box filled with precious ointment — and she breaks it. Not a little. Not carefully. She shatters it completely and pours every drop over the head of Jesus. The people...

Pastor Poke Shuler preaches through Mark 13 with one word on his mind: watch. It starts with a disciple marveling at the stones of the temple — massive, hand-hewn, perfectly fitted. Jesus looks at him and says not one of them will be left standing. From there, four disciples pull Jesus aside privately and ask what every believer eventually asks: when, where, how? And Jesus does what he always does...

Pastor Poke Shuler preaches through Mark 12 on what it looks like to live and give in truth. Using four encounters Jesus has — with the Pharisees and Herodians, the Sadducees, a searching scribe, and a poor widow — he works through what truth actually does to a person when they let it in. Truth shapes our attitude. It brings awareness of things we'd rather avoid. It defines us by how we respon...

What is the gospel, really? On this Easter Sunday message from 1 Corinthians 15, Pastor Poke works through what Paul calls "the declaration of good news" — the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This isn't just history. It's the power of God unto salvation, and it changes everything about how we live, who we are, and what happens when we die. He walks through four t...

The Observation Of Marvelous | Pastor Poke | 3.29.26 In Mark 12, Jesus tells the parable of the wicked husbandmen — a vineyard owner who sends servant after servant to collect what's owed, only to have them beaten, wounded, and killed. And then, knowing what they'll do, he sends his own son. Why would anyone send what's most precious to those who are most wicked? Unless he loves them....

What happens when the truth is right in front of you — and you reason your way around it anyway? This week's message, Christ's Confounding Authority , takes us to Mark 11:27–33, where Jesus silences his accusers not by overpowering them, but by asking one question they couldn't honestly answer. The chief priests and elders had seen the miracles. They'd heard the testimony. They had every reason to...

Description: What does it really look like to walk in the authority God has given us? In this message from Mark 11:19–26, we dig into what Jesus revealed to His disciples after the fig tree withered — and what it means for how we pray, believe, and live today. Faith isn't passive. It's a posture. It's a profession. And according to Jesus, it has real results. We walk through four pilla...

Christ’s Commanding Authority | Mark 11:11–18 In Mark chapter 11 we see Jesus display His commanding authority through three powerful moments: examining the temple, confronting the fruitless fig tree, and cleansing the house of God. These events reveal how Christ not only possesses authority but actively exercises it over His people, His house, and our lives. This message explores three truths rev...

In this message from The Brook , we’re taken to Calvary and confronted with the reality of the three crosses in Luke 23. At the center hangs Jesus Christ on the cross of redemption , suffering not for His own sin, but for the sins of the world. On either side hang two criminals—one on the cross of reception , and one on the cross of rejection . Though both men are equally guilty and equally close...

What do you do when the way forward doesn’t make sense, the enemy is closing in, and there’s nowhere left to run? In this message from Exodus 13–14 , we walk through what it truly means to face a Red Sea experience —those moments when God leads us into places we would never choose, but He knows we must walk through. This sermon traces the emotional and spiritual journey of Israel as they leave Egy...

From Service 2.16.26 Celebrated Authority v.7-10 - Apparel - Acclimation - Association of Admiration

In this message from The Brook , we’re in Mark 11 , where the religious leaders confront Jesus with a pointed challenge: “By what authority doest thou these things?” As Jesus answers their question with a question of His own, we see how unbelief often isn’t a lack of information but a refusal to submit. This sermon presses the heart issue behind the confrontation: will we recognize Christ’s author...
