'Words of Life' w/ Pastor Mark D. Ingram

Send us Fan Mail The heartbeat of this episode is a songwriter's heart of urgency spilling forth via Pastor Mark's penmanship: salvation is not framed as a distant idea, but as a 'right now' invitation.  Various genre styles keep returning to a consistent fact: GOD calls, rescues, and refuses to condemn, pointing listeners to Jesus as the sole One who “paid the cost” and came t...

Send us Fan Mail Within this week's broadcast / podcast edition of 'Words of Life'... A stunning realization occurs: three times in Revelation 22, Jesus says the same thing: “I am coming soon.” We must take that repetition seriously, because it sits at the edge of the Bible’s closing words and it refuses to let us treat eternity like a distant idea.  Pastor Mark’s message is titled...

Send us Fan Mail The Proverbs 31 woman is often treated like an impossible standard, but this week's message reframes her as a clear, hope filled picture of a virtuous woman with noble character. Within this edition of the 'Biblical Thoughts' broadcast / podcast, hosted by Twala D. Ingram, Proverbs 31:10–31 is spotlighted to focus on what a godly woman looks like in daily life: trus...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's video broadcast of 'Words of Life'... “There is no other name under heaven… by which we must be saved.”  That line from Acts 4 is either offensive or freeing, and we must refuse to treat it like background noise. The sermon opens with Peter and John standing in front of the religious power of their day (The Sanhedrin), facing consequences for one mess...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's 'Words of Life' message in lieu of eternity... Pride doesn’t always 'look like...' arrogance. Sometimes it 'sounds like...'  harmless sentences that starts with “I” and ends with us taking the credit. Within our this week's podcast / broadcast, Pastor walks us through a message that refuses to let ego survive in God’s presence...

Send us Fan Mail Within this week's 'Words of Life' broadcast / podcast, we examine why empathy is not a mood; it is a 'mandate' woven through Scripture and proven in history.  The opening scriptural text (Deuteronomy 10: 18-19) commands care for the fatherless, the widow, and the foreigner (wanderer, immigrant, refugee, oppressed, marginalized), grounding love in God’s ch...

Send us Fan Mail This week's message turns on a simple word: calling; and the theme centers on God’s persistent question to humanity, first voiced in Genesis 3: “Where are you?” The sermon frames 'a call' as an intentional summoning that expects a response and then sets the scene in the Garden of Eden. God’s command to Adam was clear, the serpent’s deception was targeted, and the re...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's 'Words of Life' broadcast / podcast... We live in a time where volume is mistaken for value. The message unpacked within Pastor Mark's sermon centers on a single word—noise—and how it corrodes discernment, fractures community, and drowns out the gospel of Jesus Christ. Drawing from 1 John 4:1–3, we explore why testing spirits is not cynicism but...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's 'Words of Life' message... We encounter God’s holiness as the blazing center of Scripture and the thread that ties Leviticus to the cross. When Pastor Mark reads, “You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy,” he isn’t offering a slogan; he is pointing to God’s essence. Holiness means absolute moral purity and perfection, the total absence o...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when a praise and worship project conveys the truth about our drama, proclivities, and mess and we still dare to dance while trusting in God's faithfulness to us?  We open the curtain on “One Way,” a 24-track, diverse songwriting journey (from Pastor Mark's pen) undergirded by scripture that moves from raw confession to steady comfort, from quiet surrender t...

Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to be adopted into God's family? Pastor Mark takes listeners on a transformative journey through Romans 8:15-17, revealing how spiritual adoption completely redefines our identity and relationship with God. The concept of adoption often carries connotations of abandonment, but Pastor Mark offers a radical reframing: being adopted by God means you are profoun...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when we face God's perfect moral law but fall short? Pastor Mark delivers a powerful message about the stark difference between natural laws and God's divine law—revealing how one has many penalties while the other carries a single, non-negotiable consequence: death. Through a careful examination of Romans 3:19-20, Pastor Mark illuminates how the Mosaic Law...

Send us Fan Mail The concept of spiritual gifts lies at the heart of Christian service and community building. In Pastor Mark's recent message, he draws a critical distinction between worldly charisma and spiritual charisma that every believer needs to understand. While today's definition of charisma typically describes someone who can draw attention to themselves, spiritual charisma (or...

Send us Fan Mail Faith in the midst of failure is one of Christianity's most powerful paradoxes. As Pastor Mark delivers this message, he illuminates a truth many believers struggle to accept: failure is an inherent part of the faith journey. This isn't a contradiction but rather a fundamental aspect of what makes faith necessary in the first place. The spiritual journey involves navigat...

Send us Fan Mail In a world filled with constant demands and stressors, Pastor Mark's message on "When Our Soul Needs a Break" offers a timely reminder of Christ's invitation in Matthew 11:28-30. This powerful teaching explores how believers can find genuine rest amid life's challenges by bringing their burdens to Jesus. What exactly is rest from a biblical perspective? Pa...

Send us Fan Mail The concept of "small things" is powerfully significant in our spiritual journey, yet often misunderstood or undervalued. Within this episode, Pastor Mark's message offers profound insights into how God views what we might consider insignificant efforts in His service. The message opens with a challenging question from Zechariah 4:10: "For who has despised the...

Send us Fan Mail The battle you can't see is the one you need to prepare for most. Pastor Mark Ingram delivers a compelling examination of spiritual warfare, drawing from both Scripture and his military experience to illuminate how believers must recognize, understand, and fight their true enemy. Satan—not other people—stands as our chief adversary, operating through individuals and circumsta...

Send us Fan Mail "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life..."

We pledge to simply cast bait while prayerfully relying on GOD'S SPIRIT to minister to all with &...
