On Mission for Christ

Every day is full of choices. As Christians in a dark world, we must choose this day to serve the Lord. That is the starting point for our brand new series: “Choose This Day: A Study in the Book of Joshua.” In this episode, Pastor Jeremy kicks off our new series by diving into chapter 1, showing how courage comes from the Lord and the result of clinging to His purpose. This sermon was originally t...

It’s the start of a brand-new year, which means this week, gyms will be full, planners will be opened, and new habits will be started . . . at least for a week or two. Regardless of whether you make resolutions or not, the new year does something to all of us: it makes us pause and reflect on who we’ve been and who we’re becoming. But there’s something we often forget when we think about growth, c...

Idolatry has infiltrated the church. We have replaced the idea of God with something that is incomparable to Him. In Isaiah 44, the Lord makes it clear how He feels about idolatry: it is foolishness. We must ask ourselves, do we know Him, or have we made Him like our phones: a convenient God we like to pull out when needed. In this episode, Pastor Toby Heimbach challenges us to acquaint ourselves...

During this Christmas season, we have a great reminder of John 3:16. Jesus came and died for sinners like us. Why? Because of love. The world wants to define love as a feeling, but what is true love really defined as? And what does love have to do with this story? Everything. In this episode, Pastor Jeremy concludes our Advent series by showing us the greatest example of love: Christ’s sacrifice a...

No matter who you are or where you come from, you can experience joy right now because Jesus lives and He’s coming soon. Jesus brings joy through His presence and can be found in a relationship with Him. Don’t search for joy in this world. That only leads to temporary, fleeting satisfaction. Is your heart glad enough to rejoice today? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy continues our Advent series by s...

True peace with God and others is only possible because of Jesus, our Messiah, the Prince of Peace. Many Christians know this, but they haven’t fully lived it out. Peace can be a head knowledge, not a heart knowledge experience. For some, the holidays can be really difficult. Gathering together can easily remind us of conflict, loss, and pain. With so many distractions, how can we experience true...

Where do people often place their hope today? We hope our favorite team wins the championship. We hope for that one special item on Christmas morning. We all hope for something . . . but this kind of hope is no more than a wish. 2025 could still be the year Christ returns. This is not a wish. It is not a dream. It is a biblical, confident, future-based hope. Sin is serious, and we need saving. The...

This could be the year Jesus comes again. This could be the week, the day, even the hour, so . . . how have we been living? Are we living in light of His soon return? If we truly believe Jesus is coming soon, and if we truly believe there is a heaven and a hell, then there are implications in how we should respond to this. Do you feel the urgency to share the Good News with everyone you come in co...

The church is God’s design, and it should interact with your life. This is the Beautiful Exchange. So, how should you engage with the church, and how should the church engage with you? In this episode, guest speaker Jon Beight defines who the church is and reminds us that the church is not the game, but the huddle that gets us back into the game. This sermon was originally taught on November 16th,...

A dispen . . . what? Dispensationalism has become a hot-button term lately, but what exactly is it? How does a covenant-keeping God interact with humans throughout history? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy shares Four Foundational Truths About Dispensationalism and reminds us that Scripture is all about the glory of God. This sermon was originally taught on November 9th, 2025, by Pastor Jeremy Owens...

We should never grow tired of hearing John 3:16. The good news of salvation never changes, and we should never tire of it. This message should be preached every Sunday and lived out every single day of our lives. If you are reading this and have never experienced this free gift, then stop and see this: God loves you, and He wants a relationship with you. All you need to do is admit you are a sinne...

The Holy Spirit is active in all believers, and we should have experiences through Him. Scripture says we worship in Spirit and truth. Truth unites us, yet the idea of the Spirit often divides churches into different denominations. Who then is the Spirit? Is there a ranking among the Trinity? Does the Holy Spirit effect my walk with God? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens shares Four Foundationa...

At Mission Bible Church, we believe in the Trinity. The first part of the Trinity is God the Father. Who is He? Where is He in the Bible? We see the evidence all around. The Bible speaks clearly about God as Father, His wrath against all unrighteousness, and a Christians place in all of it. In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens delivers Four Foundational Truths About the Father that magnifies Him a...

Anything contrary to the nature and character of God is sin, yet as Christians, we love to draw the line where we can dip into sin but not be considered “sinful.” There is no ladder scale as to who is less sinful. Sin is going to kill us, and we love it. So, how do we have victory over sin today? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens answers Four Questions About Sin and points us to the one who is...

When you think of angels, what comes to mind? Are they babies with wings? Guardian angels? Most often, our ideas of angels are heavily influenced by movies and pop culture. So then, what does Scripture say about angels? Were they created? Do they serve a purpose? Where does Satan come into this conversation? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens shares Four Foundational Truths about Angelic Beings...

God calls all Christians to live a pure and holy life whether single or married. And there are few things more counter-cultural than chasing a holy sexuality. The world encourages everyone to follow their heart and identify by their “sexual preference,” so how can Christians live in right-relation with others without accepting a sin as normal? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens declares Four Fou...

You are valuable. You are loved. Don’t listen to what the world has to say about you, because you are created in the image of God. When we examine the doctrine on humans, we must first understand that we are above all other creation by being made in His image. God knows us from before conception to beyond the grave. How can we be good stewards of God’s creation and care for one another? How can we...

Where is God? This world is broken. Tragedy after tragedy strikes, and a lost people look for hope. Yet God is in the process of reconciling the lost people to Himself. When we study who God is, it’s important to remember that God is in control. Without this, we can't begin to start the doctrine of God. In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens walks through Four Foundational Truths about God that...

In a world full of opinions, shifting values, and spiritual confusion, it’s more important than ever for Christians to know what they believe—and why it matters. In this series, Pastor Jeremy Owens will walk through our church doctrine and start with why the Word of the Lord matters. This sermon was originally taught on September 7th, 2025, by Pastor Jeremy Owens. To learn more about Mission Bible...

In our walk with Christ, the way we live our lives matters. And in the third letter from John, the writer details three good examples to follow and one to avoid. As you make this journey, who specifically do you set an example for in your life that looks up to you? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens concludes the “This Is Love” series by challenging us to “Walk in Truth” using key passages from...

In 2 John, the author writes to a small house church being taken advantage of for their hospitality. This raises the question for them and for us: how do we abide in the teaching of Christ when faced with adversity? What binds Christians together is not social, political, or class compatibility. What binds us together is the Truth and Love, and we must exemplify truth from the Word of God. In this...

Why do we think we can be born of God and still live in sin? At the end of 1 John, the author reminds us that we can live confidently knowing God hears us and Jesus is coming soon! The call for our lives is to confront, repent, and abandon sin. In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens wraps up our study in 1 John by encouraging us to abide in the One we are called to follow with “Confident Christian L...

The message of 1 John comes back to this: Eternal life is found in Christ alone. The question then is this: Are you living life in the Son? Have confidence that Jesus is the only way by: - Examining the Evidence - Hearing the Testimony - Making a choice When it comes to this choice, there is no C or D option. Christ is the only way. Will you accept Him or reject Him? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy...

When was the last time you stopped and thanked God for your salvation? If we’re honest, probably not too often. What would it look like if we lived out the life we were called to? How can we reflect Christ’s love in our everyday lives? Why should we do it at all? In this episode, guest speaker Toby Heimbach returns to Mission Bible to remind us to treat all of life after salvation as a holy sacram...

God has offered us victorious faith through His steadfast love, but how can we have faith that overcomes the world? What does it look like to cultivate right relationships with one another and God? In this episode, Pastor Jeremy Owens continues the ”This is Love” series with “Victorious Faith” from 1 John 5:1-5. This sermon was originally taught on July 27th, 2025, by Pastor Jeremy Owens.
