The Resurrection and the Life
What does it mean that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life? As we continue our I AM Statements of Jesus series, we turn to John 11:17–27, where Jesus meets Martha in her grief and offers hope that reaches beyond the grave. We’ll explore his authority over death, the eternal life he gives, and...

Rest While the Redeemer Works
Are you tired—not just physically tired, but weary from carrying something you can’t fix or control? In Ruth 3, Ruth and Naomi are still living with uncertainty. They don’t know exactly how their story will end, but God is already at work providing a redeemer. Ruth takes the next faithful step,...

No One Like Our God
Who is a God like our God? As we close our series through the book of Micah, the prophet ends not by pointing us to ourselves, but by pointing us to the character of God. Micah 7:18–20 reminds us that our God pardons sin, delights in steadfast love, shows compassion, defeats our iniquity, remains...

Mark 12:18-27 Podcast
In this episode, Jon and Mitch talk through Mark 12:18–27, where Jesus is challenged by the Sadducees about the resurrection. What starts as a tricky hypothetical question turns into a powerful moment where Jesus exposes a deeper issue: not knowing the Scriptures or the power of God. Together, we...

Micah 4:6-:5:5
When life is marked by brokenness, suffering, and uncertainty, where do we turn for hope? In Micah 4:6–5:15, God speaks to a people facing judgment, exile, and the consequences of their sin. Yet in the middle of their darkest moments, He gives them an incredible promise: a King is coming.…

Micah 4:1-5
Will injustice ever end? Will war ever cease? Will fear finally disappear? In Micah 4:1–5, the prophet lifts our eyes beyond the brokenness of the present to God’s promised future. Through the lens of the New Testament, we see that these promises find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. In this...

Micah 1-2:13
Most people don't enjoy being confronted. Yet some of the most loving things someone can do is tell us the truth when something is wrong. In the opening chapters of Micah, God confronts His people about their sin, hypocrisy, and spiritual drift. They were still gathering for worship and…

Receiving Those God Sends
In Philippians 2:19–30, Paul introduces us to two ordinary men who lived extraordinary lives of faithfulness—Timothy and Epaphroditus. While this passage may seem like simple travel plans at first glance, it actually gives us a powerful picture of healthy gospel partnership, sacrificial service,...
-
Reordered: A Life Centered on Christ
In Philippians 1:12–26, Paul shows us what it looks like to have a life centered on Christ. Writing from prison, he isn’t discouraged—he’s rejoicing. Why? Because the gospel is advancing, Christ is being proclaimed, and God is working through it all. Big Idea: A life centered on Christ reorders…

How God Builds His Church
In Acts 16, we see how God builds His church in unexpected ways. What looks like closed doors and changed plans turns into gospel breakthrough. Paul thought he knew where he was going—but the Holy Spirit redirects him to Philippi. And there, God saves three very different people: a businesswoman…

Mark 16
We’ve come to the final week in our journey through the Gospel of Mark—53 weeks walking with Jesus—and we arrive at the most important moment in history. The resurrection changes everything. If Easter didn’t happen, then this is just a gathering built around a dead man. But if it did happen… this...
-
Mark 15:1-21-37
This week we’re stepping into one of the heaviest moments in Scripture Instead of a normal sermon, we’re inviting you to experience it differently. Don’t just watch this. Feel it. As you listen, do something that requires effort—go for a run, work out, clean, or finish something you’ve been…

Mark 15:1-20
In this passage, Jesus is handed over to Rome, and the question becomes clear: Who is King? We see a King who stands silent, a King who is rejected in place of a guilty man, and a King who is mocked on His way to the cross. Barabbas goes free. Jesus takes his place. The innocent for the guilty....
-
Mark 14:53-65
In this message from Mark 14:53–65, we step into one of the most intense moments in the Gospel of Mark—the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin. Jesus has been arrested. The cross is now only hours away. But what unfolds in the house of the high priest is not a fair trial seeking truth. The…

Mark 14:27-31 ; 66-72
We are hours from the Cross. The table has been set. The hymn has been sung. They walk into the night. Before the nails. Before Pilate. Before the crowd. Mark slows down and shows us Peter. In this sermon from Mark 14:27–31 and 66–72, we walk through Peter’s bold self-confidence, his painful...

Mark 14:12-26
We are now hours from the Cross. Mark slows everything down. Every conversation matters. Every movement matters. Every word matters. In Mark 14:12–26, Jesus gathers with His disciples in the Upper Room for what looks like a traditional Passover meal. But this is not just a meal. This is a moment....

What Do We Do With Our Burdens?
Everyone carries something. Stress. Anxiety. Leadership weight. Parenting pressure. Financial strain. Hidden sin. Health concerns. The question isn’t if we will have burdens — the question is what we do with them. In this episode, we walk through what the Bible actually says about handling the...

Mark 14:1-11 | How much do you value Jesus?
Can you believe we are here? Passion Week. Mark slows way down. Every scene carries weight. Exodus 12 is in the background—the Lamb, the blood, judgment passing over. And now the true Lamb is just days from being slain. In this passage, Mark gives us three postures toward Jesus. Not random…

Mark 12:18-27 | Resurrection Life
In this passage from Mark 12:18–27, Jesus is confronted by the Sadducees—a powerful group who deny the resurrection. They come to Him with a hypothetical question meant to make resurrection faith look foolish. Instead of debating theory, Jesus exposes a deeper problem: they do not know the...
