Join Pastor Josh Ipock as he explores the powerful narrative in Mark 2:1-12 In this sermon, we dive into the story of the paralyzed man let down through the roof by his friends, asking the vital question: Who Will Carry Your Bed? As we look at the importance of community and faith, we also shift our perspective to the call of every believer: Whose Bed Will You Carry?

Pharaoh repeatedly told Moses that the Israelites could go worship God, but every "yes" came with a hidden condition... The fine print. From "stay in the land" to "leave your kids behind," Pharaoh’s goal was to give the illusion of freedom while maintaining total control. Pastor Josh Ipock breaks down these four major compromises and challenges us to look at our own l...

What do you do when you’re in a valley with no water, no way out, and no visible miracle? In 2 Kings 3, three kings find themselves surrounded by dryness, defeat, and desperation.

Sometimes God asks us to prepare in faith before we ever see the...

Everyone had a label for David. His father saw a delivery boy. His brothers saw a distraction. Saul saw a youth. Goliath saw a stick.

Before the people of Israel rebuilt the temple, they rebuilt the altar. Before the work of their hands, there was the posture of their hearts. In Ezra 3, we see a powerful reminder: before they built, they bowed. They didn’t start with plans, tools, or structures, they started with worship. This message is a reminder for our church today. God is the One who builds His church, not us. Our call is n...

When Solomon declared, “There is nothing new under the sun,” he was speaking from human wisdom and earthly perspective. But what Solomon could not see was what God was about to reveal. He couldn’t see a virgin birth. He couldn’t see God wrapping Himself in flesh. He couldn’t see a new covenant, a new commandment, or a new creation in Christ. In this message, we journey from the wisdom of Ecclesias...

From the very beginning, God’s heart has always been for all nations. The gospel was never meant to be limited to one people or one place — it was meant to reach the ends of the earth.

In this message, Pastor Josh shares a personal story about his family that reminded him of the simple, powerful truth of having childlike faith.

We live in a generation that has lost its reverence for God — but true wisdom, power, and blessing begin with the fear of the Lord.

Because the banner mattered. It marked identity, direction, a...
