Messages from Trinity Assembly in Clay, NY

This is the first message in a series on our values. In this message, we take a look at 2 Timothy 1 and learn how the gospel is way above us, the gospel was way before us and the gospel makes a way for us!

On Easter Sunday, we look at the problem with, the purpose of and the power in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

This week's message is from Mark 15 - a look at three times Jesus was rejected and three times Jesus was accepted in the final hours of his life. The last acceptance makes all the difference. (Recording starts a minute in to the message)

What can we learn from the account of the last supper in Mark 14? We learn three things about the nature of what Jesus offers us.

In Mark 14, one women sees something in Jesus that no one else in the room sees. What is it? Pastor David walks through the text asking the questions: Who? What? When? Where? How? and Why? Ultimately, we learn that seeing Jesus like Mary did can make all the difference in our lives.

This week, Pastor David breaks down Mark 11:11-22 into three acts. Act One: The Fig Tree That Has One Job; Act Two: The Temple That Has One Job; Act Three: The People That Have One Job. These two stories have much to teach us about what it means to bear fruit and what it means to be the people of God.

This week, Pastor David shares some thoughts from Mark 9 and Mark 10 on what it means to be the greatest in the kingdom and where you can expect to find the greatest. Spoiler alert: It's not where you might expect.

In Mark 8:27-38, the disciples are finally seeing Jesus as the Messiah when suddenly he begins speaking of suffering...of the cross. This wasn't what they were expecting. Guest speaker, Dan McLaughlin, shares how suffering is the path to true love, true forgiveness and true life.

In Mark 7, Jesus and the Pharisees have a confrontation over traditions and rules. In this text, we learn three important differences between following Jesus and following rules.

In Mark 6, Jesus sends out his disciples and gives them four two-word commands: "Take nothing," "Stay there," "Shake off," and "Come Away." This week, Pastor David teaches on what we can learn about being a disciple of Jesus from each of those commands.

In Mark 5:21-23, we find two remarkable stories about fears, hopes and Jesus. David shares on how Jesus is greater than our greatest fears and Jesus is greater than our greatest hopes.

In Mark 4, the power of a storm collides with the power of Jesus. And by the end of the story we get a glimpse at another power: the power to change the hearts of every man, woman and child. Listen in as David shares on the credible, incredible and unforgettable power of Jesus.

In Mark 2:1-12, we read about the remarkable faith of four nameless friends and the even more remarkable response of Jesus. In this message, David shares about faith that has heart, brains and friends.

In this message, David teaches from Mark 1:1-15 and shares five things that are true about the gospel and two things that are true of those who believe the gospel.

What should we think about heaven? When should we think about heaven? Why should we think about heaven. In this message, Pastor David offers some answers from the Scriptures to each of those important questions.

In Luke 2, the angels sang about "peace on earth." But when we look around this world and in our lives and in our hearts--we don't see that much peace. What if the "peace" the angels sang about is different than you think? What if it's better than you think?

In Zechariah's song, we learn three very important things about who our God is: the God who comes for us, the God who forgives us and the God who is for us.

In the first message of this three part series, David shares from Luke 1:46-56. This portion of Scripture contains The Magnificat--the song Mary sang while pregnant with Jesus. In Mary's Song, we can see three things about her perspective on God, herself and life. These are three perspectives that we should share!

In the final week of this series from Exodus 1-20, guest speaker, Dan McLaughlin, takes a look at chapters 19 and 20, looking at the reason behind and the content of the 10 Commandments. The commandments are not simply a list of things to do, but rather a picture of who the people of God are called to be.

A forgetful heart is a complaining heart. While looking at chapters 16 and 17, David shares three things we must always remember: how He set us free, how He sustains us, and how He saves us.

On Thanksgiving Sunday, Jason Foster shares a message from Psalm 69 on why we magnify God and how it makes us a thankful people.

Guest speaker, Pastor Rob Kirk, shares from the story of the crossing of the Red Sea, pointing out our tendency to build on lives on something, the danger of building our lives on lesser gods and our need for a mediator to "get us out."

In week 4 of this series, David shares some thoughts on what we can learn about God by studying the ten plagues and the passover.

Sometimes things don't work out as we hope...what then? David takes a look at Moses' response to hard times (Ex. 5 &6) and he shares some thoughts on how we can remind our hearts of Gospel promises. You can listen to the song that was played at the end of the sermon here: https://youtu.be/LGAdaGbmfFs

In week 2 of the series, From Slavery to Sinai, Pastor Rob Kirk shares about how God graciously uses imperfect people to accomplish his perfect purposes.
