Broken relationships are painful, but repair is possible. Repair is a process that takes significant effort, but when we’re both willing to make that effort, with God’s help, we can experience the joy of reconciliation.
There are no perfect people. We are all broken in some way, but healing and forgiveness are possible. With God’s help, we can experience healing and even thriving in our relationships.
Character matters in all of our relationships, from our family rooms to our bedrooms to our boardrooms. Your character matters and so does the character of the people you choose to trust.
Family matters, and no family works without trust. Trust is the fuel that drives every relationship. When trust is broken, repairing it is difficult. When we can learn to build, strengthen, and repair trust in our relationships, we can experience lasting joy.
Jesus invites us into a new life with God not to make us into harsh rule-followers, but into people of love.
As we come to know God and experience eternal life, God awakens us to God’s presence at work in everyday moments and invites us to get rid of everything that is holding us back.
We have two types of problems in our lives: inside and outside. We tend to focus on the outside problems, like job loss, relationship struggle, or political crisis, but we would be wise to pay at least equal attention to our inside problems, like anger, greed, and self-indulgence. When we invite God’s healing into these parts of our lives, we can experience salvation and wholeness right now.
Many people think “being saved” is about getting into heaven when you die. The problem with that is Jesus never talked about it that way. Pastor Mark reminds us of how the New Testament defines salvation and why that is important today.
One of the most troubling ideas Christians wrestle with is what happens to non-Christians after death. The idea that God would send all non-Christians to hell is difficult to reconcile with the words and actions of Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores what the Bible says and how we can trust in God’s goodness and mercy.
Everyone has doubts, but doubt isn’t something we have to be afraid or ashamed of. Doubt and questioning are not the enemies of faith, but can be a path to a deeper and more authentic faith.
