In the fourth week of our series, “Starting Over,” Pastor Brandon shares a word about what it’s like to start over with only the essential. Starting over is an opportunity to eliminate distractions and focus on essentials.
Grace is free, but often takes courage and our best efforts to receive it. In today’s message, we will explore an epic fail in the Bible and how you too can start over even when you’ve really messed up.
Starting over is a moving forward to something new. There must be something new and different in order to move forward rather than backward.
Our God loves us and has plans for our good, not for harm. Our God gives us a future of hope even when we can’t see it.
God speaks to us through the Bible, and studying the Bible can teach us more about God and how to live than any other thing in our life. Today, Pastor Mark helps us better understand how to read God’s Word, and how we encounter Christ in the words of scripture.
Jesus came to earth so we could see the immeasurable love of God. You may not know everything about Jesus, but you can trust him no matter what.
We all long for a place to truly belong, yet we each face different obstacles. Jesus helps us overcome those obstacles because in his Kingdom, no one is excluded, and everyone belongs.
We want to be known and accepted, but often we’re afraid that if people really know us, they won’t accept us. Yet Jesus knows us fully and loves us unconditionally, and his acceptance means we are free from worrying about what others think.
This weekend as we celebrate the Fourth of July, we also reflect on the role that we as Jesus’ followers have in continuing to make our country and this world a better place. Pastor Mark has a message about how we can disagree better, love all people, and find power in unity.
In the final week of our sermon series, “People of the Light,” Pastor Mark guides us through the end of 1 Thessalonians to help us understand how to live a great life and to discern God’s will for our lives.
