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.
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.
The disciples of the early church anticipated Christ’s return in their lifetime. In this week’s message, Pastor Mark continues teaching from Paul’s first letter, as he explores the questions about what happens when we die and what happens at the end of time.
Faithfulness is about much more than marriage. It is steadfastness and trustworthiness in all areas of our lives, and as we learn to be faithful to God in all things, we can endure all things.
When we face criticism, we often respond with anger, denial, or defensiveness, but that causes us to miss a great opportunity for growth. Paul shared wisdom with the Thessalonian church to help them persevere through challenges, and that wisdom can help us remain steadfast through obstacles, persecution, and criticism today.
Christianity is more than “not doing anything wrong.” Christianity answers the two great questions we all have to answer: “Who is really well off and “Who is a genuinely good person?”
