Sermon Replay | Encountering Jesus: The OutsiderJohn 4:1–26Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this week’s message from our Encountering Jesus series, we explore the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. While society saw her as an outsider, Jesus saw her with compassion, grace, and purpose.Through this conversation, Jesus reveals that no one is beyond His love and that being fully known by God does not lead to rejection, but to healing, freedom, and transformation. What began as a simple conversation about water became an invitation to receive the living water only Christ can give, reminding us that He meets us right in the middle of our questions, struggles, shame, and brokenness with grace, hope, and new life.⁠#UnionChurchofGuatemala ⁠#UCG ⁠#UCGFamily ⁠#InternationalChurch ⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Encountering Jesus - The Skeptic: NicodemusJohn 3:1–17Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntWhat happens when sincere faith still leaves you searching?

Yet Jesus invites him beyond knowledge and tradition into something far greater: a true spiritual rebirth.⁠#UnionChurchofGuatemala ⁠#UCG ⁠#UCGFamily ⁠#InternationalChurch ⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | The King Who Restores the FailureJohn 21:1–19Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this powerful message from Pastor Mark Hunt at Union Church of Guatemala, we reflect on how Jesus restores Peter after his denial, meeting him not with shame but with grace right in the middle of his ordinary life. As Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?”, He is not reopening wounds but healing them, addressing the root of his failure and restoring his purpose. This sermon reminds us that grace is personal and transformative, and that failure does not disqualify us. Instead, it can become the very place where Jesus meets us, restores what is broken, and calls us forward into renewed purpose.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Shame the DoubterJohn 20:24–29Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntNot everyone arrives at faith with certainty, and in this passage we meet Thomas in his honest doubt. What we see is a different kind of King. Jesus does not distance Himself or rebuke him. He moves closer, meeting Thomas right where he is. This reminds us that doubt is not the opposite of faith, but often part of the journey toward deeper trust.Jesus invites us, just as He did Thomas, to take the next step, even if it feels small. Faith grows over time, shaped not by having all the answers, but by responding to His presence. Wherever you find yourself today, certain or questioning, confident or unsure, Jesus meets you there and invites you into a relationship marked by grace, patience, and surrendered trust.Watch the full sermon and be encouraged in your walk of faith.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria 🇬🇹

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Stay DeadMatthew 28:1–10Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntWhat if the story didn’t end where it seemed final?This past Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt led us through the powerful truth of the resurrection, reminding us that Jesus is the King who does not stay in the grave. In a world where so many things feel final, God steps in and rewrites the ending with life, hope, and restoration.Through the story of the women at the tomb, we are reminded that faith and fear can exist together. You do not need perfect certainty to encounter the living Christ. He meets us right where we are.And the resurrection is not only something to believe. It is something to share. The hope we receive becomes the hope we carry to others. Easter declares this with clarity and power: death does not have the final word. God does.Watch the full sermon and be reminded that hope is alive.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Crush His EnemiesMatthew 21:1–11, Zechariah 9:9Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntOn Palm Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt invited us to slow down and reflect on the kind of King Jesus reveals Himself to be. He comes not with force, but in humility. Not to dominate, but to draw near.While the crowds longed for a ruler who would overcome their enemies, Jesus came to address something deeper within the human heart. He does not crush. He moves closer, meeting us with compassion, truth, and the invitation to be made new.As we consider His way, we are gently invited to follow. To release the need to control, and to choose humility, grace, and love even when it is not easy.In His kingdom, transformation unfolds quietly through surrender, through trust, and through the steady, redeeming power of love.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | For Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the Glory ForeverMatthew 6:9-13, 1 Chronicles 29:11Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntAs we close our nine-week journey through the Lord’s Prayer, we are reminded that our security is not found in what we can control, but in who God is.Through the lives of King David and Nebuchadnezzar, Pastor Mark points us to a deeper truth: human control is an illusion, but God’s kingdom, power, and glory are eternal.True peace begins when we surrender to His authority and anchor our lives in His unchanging kingdom.Live today with confidence and hope, trusting the One who reigns forever.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Lead Us Not Into Temptation but Deliver Us from EvilMatthew 6:13Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntThis Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt reflected on the final petition of the Lord’s Prayer and reminded us that temptation often does not appear obviously evil. More often, it presents itself as what seems practical, efficient, or even successful. Yet Jesus teaches us to pray for God’s protection because our strength alone is not enough.Through examples such as Jesus in the wilderness and Joseph in Egypt, we are reminded that victory over temptation comes not through sheer willpower but through dependence on the Father. In a world full of subtle shortcuts and compromises, Pastor Mark encouraged us to remain spiritually vigilant through daily surrender to God, seeking His wisdom, staying rooted in Christian community, and feeding our hearts with the truth of Scripture.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Forgive Us Our Sins as We Forgive Those Who Sin Against UsMatthew 6:12, 14–15Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntForgiveness is at the heart of the Lord’s Prayer. When we ask God to forgive our sins, Jesus reminds us that we are also called to forgive those who have sinned against us.Unforgiveness can quietly become a prison for the heart. But through Christ, we are invited into the freedom that comes from releasing resentment and extending the grace we ourselves have received.True forgiveness is not weakness. It is a powerful reflection of the mercy of God at work in us.May we walk into this week with humble hearts, ready to receive God’s mercy and willing to share that same mercy with others.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Give us This Day our Daily Bread Matthew 6:11 Sermon by Paul GarrettThis Sunday, Paul Garrett reminded us that daily bread is more than provision for the body. It is an invitation to daily trust.We do not live on yesterday’s grace. We come to the Father again and again, trusting Him as our source and carrying one another’s needs as our own.May we walk into this week with open hands and confident hearts, knowing His mercies are new every morning.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be DoneMatthew 6:10Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message from our Teach Us to Pray series, we explore what it truly means to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done.” This petition invites more than agreement. It calls for surrender.Jesus shows that seeking God’s kingdom requires recalibrating our plans and releasing control, as He did in Gethsemane. Through the examples of William Wilberforce and Zacchaeus, we see that God’s kingdom values justice, humility, and integrity over status. Prayer, then, reshapes how we live. As we pursue the Father’s will in everyday life, we discover that surrender leads to true strength and spiritual freedom.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Hallowed Be Your NameMatthew 6:9, Exodus 20:7Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message from our "Teach Us to Pray" series, we consider the first request of the Lord’s Prayer and its meaning for everyday faith. To “hallow” God’s name is to honor and set Him apart above every personal desire, recognizing His holiness in both word and life.Prayer, then, becomes more than words. It becomes a way of living that honors God privately and publicly as we represent Him to the world.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | In HeavenMatthew 6:9–13Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message from our Teach Us to Pray series, we reflect on the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer and what it means to approach God as Our Father in heaven. Jesus invites us to pray from a place of belonging, not performance.As we lift our eyes to God’s holiness and sovereign care, we find peace, trust, and renewed perspective for everyday life.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | What Is the ChurchEphesians 2:19–22Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message shared before our Annual Congregational Meeting, we reflect on the true identity of the Church. Scripture reminds us that the Church is not defined by a building, a legal structure, or a meeting place, but by the people of God, united in Christ and built together on Him as the cornerstone.This sermon calls us to see ourselves not as spectators or guests, but as family members who belong, participate, and take shared responsibility for the life and mission of the Church. Commitment, faithfulness, and generosity are framed as expressions of ownership and love for the community God has entrusted to us.As we listen, we are invited to move deeper into unity, purpose, and active engagement, living as God’s household for His glory and the good of our local community.#SermonReplay #UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCGFamily #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Our FatherMatthew 6:9–13Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message from our Teach Us to Pray series, we reflect on the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer and the meaning of addressing God as Our Father. Jesus invites us to approach prayer not from a place of performance or achievement, but from a stance of belonging. Prayer flows from adoption into God’s family, shaping our identity and grounding us in trust rather than anxiety or control.Take time to listen, reflect, and allow this message to reshape how you pray and how you live.#UnionChurchofGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#SermonReplay⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Teach Us to PrayMatthew 6:5–9In this message, we begin a new series centered on the Lord’s Prayer and Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount.

Sermon ReplayLet Every Heart Prepare Him RoomLove Moves InMatthew 2 verses 1 to 12In this sermon, Matthew Lofland reflects on the journey of the Magi and reminds us that God draws people to Himself by grace, not by personal effort or wisdom.Encountering Jesus changes our direction.

Sermon ReplayLet Every Heart Prepare Him RoomLove Moves InMatthew 1:18–25Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn the final week of Advent, we reflect on Emmanuel, God with us. Through Joseph’s story, this sermon reminds us that God often shows up through disruption, not perfection. Faithful obedience looks like small courageous steps, choosing trust even when the path is unclear. As we release our timelines and honestly name our struggles, we make room for a love that does not stay distant but moves into the middle of our real lives. ⁠#UnionChurchofGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#SermonReplay⁠ ⁠#AdventSeason⁠ ⁠#PrepareHimRoom⁠ ⁠#FaithtoCarryIt⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠

Sermon ReplayLet Every Heart Prepare Him Room The Faith to Carry ItLuke 1:26 to 38Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntFaith often begins quietly, before anything is visible.

From ordinary moments to world changing callings, God invites us to trust Him with what He has placed in our care, believing He will sustain what He has conceived.Watch and be encouraged to say yes with faith, patience, and hope.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #AdventSeason #PrepareHimRoom #FaithtoCarryIt #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay"Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room – Clear the Way"Mark 1:1-8Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntAdvent is more than the countdown to Christmas. It is a sacred season of hopeful waiting and intentional preparation. In this message, we move from Advent’s longing to its call to prepare, clearing space in our hearts for Christ to come in fresh and transforming ways.Drawing from the opening verses of Mark, Pastor Mark reminds us of John the Baptist’s urgent invitation to “prepare the way of the Lord” through repentance and renewal. As we continue through this season, we are encouraged to slow down and ask three honest questions:What needs to be removedWhat needs to be surrenderedWhat needs to be welcomedMay this week be a time of clearing the way so every heart can prepare Him room.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #AdventSeason #PrepareHimRoom #ClearTheWay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay"Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room – When Hope Feels Far"(Isaiah 64:1-9)Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntThis message invites us to rediscover Advent as a season of deep longing and expectant hope.

Sermon Replay“Gratitude as a Way of Life” (1 Thessalonians 5:12 to 28)True gratitude is more than a season. It is a daily posture that trains our hearts to see God at work in every circumstance. In this message, we reflect on the biblical call to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all things. Gratitude becomes our way of life when we remember His faithfulness in the past, recognize His presence in the present, and trust His promises for the future.#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

Sermon Replay“Serving God’s Purposes Together” (Luke 19:1–10)In this week’s message, we look back with gratitude at our church’s heritage and are reminded that our life together is a gift we are called to steward well. Through the story of Zacchaeus, we reflect on three marks of a thriving church: hospitality that welcomes, wisdom that seeks God’s direction, and generosity that flows from grace.May we continue living out these truths as we serve God’s purposes together.#UnionChurchGuatemala ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

Sermon ReplayFreedom that HoldsJohn 8:31–36Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntTrue freedom is not the absence of limits but the presence of truth. This message contrasts the world’s fragile idea of freedom with the lasting liberation that comes from Christ. Through His Word, we discover freedom from fear, freedom to be honest, freedom from the past, and freedom for a purpose. Only the truth of Jesus can hold us steady when everything else falls apart.#UnionChurchGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #SoliDeoGloria #SundaySermon #PentecostSunday #InternationalChurch #Guatemala🇬🇹

Monday Sermon ReplayThe Way of the Kingdom – Matthew 5:12This week’s message by Pastor Mark Hunt, titled Living the Jesus Way, begins a short series on what it truly means to follow Christ in everyday life. Drawing from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1–12, Pastor Mark explains that these verses describe the character of God’s kingdom and call us to live in a way that often seems upside down to the world but is right side up to God.He compares this transformation to reorienting a map, showing that the way of Jesus is not about trying harder but trusting deeper. While the world values pride, success, and recognition, Jesus points to humility, mercy, purity of heart, and peace, even in times of suffering or persecution.Watch or listen again and let this message help you realign your life with the way of the kingdom.⁠#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

Watch, reflect, and build your life on the Rock.⁠#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

Monday Sermon ReplayThe Redeemer’s RewardRuth 4:1–22This week’s message takes us into the closing chapter of Ruth, where Boaz redeems Ruth and Naomi at the city gate. His act of redemption is about more than property as it restores family, hope, and legacy. From this union comes Obed, the grandfather of King David, reminding us that God often works through the unexpected to carry out His purposes.The sermon connects Ruth’s story to the coming of Christ, showing how redemption turns pain and brokenness into beauty and meaning. Much like the art of kintsugi, where cracked pottery is mended with gold, God weaves our scars into His greater story of salvation.Take time to revisit this powerful reminder that in Christ, every broken piece can be made whole.#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

Monday Sermon ReplayRisk at the Threshing FloorRuth 3:1–18Ruth chapter 3 shows us what bold faith looks like in action.

Monday Sermon ReplayFaithfulness in the FieldRuth 2:1–23Even in the ordinary routines of life, God is at work in ways we often cannot see. This week’s message invites us into Ruth’s journey of gleaning in Boaz’s field, a simple act of obedience that became the doorway to extraordinary favor and provision.Through Ruth’s story, we are reminded that faithfulness and integrity in the everyday can open doors to God’s unseen blessings, touch the lives of others, and reflect His radical generosity. Just as Ruth encountered her guardian redeemer, we too are called to trust in God’s providence and rest in His care, even when our own efforts seem small.Take time to listen and be encouraged. Your daily faithfulness matters more than you know.⁠#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

It reminds us that God is never absent, even in seasons of emptiness and loss. He is shaping something greater, just as a sculptor turns rough stone into a masterpiece.Come and be encouraged to trust His redemptive work, believing that beyond the famine lies a harvest filled with hope.⁠#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

Monday Sermon Replay Courage to Stand When Everyone BowsDaniel 3:1–30Yesterday at Union Church we reflected on the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three young men who stood firm when everyone else bowed to a golden idol. Their courage reminds us that while God may not always keep us from the fire, He promises to be with us in it.This message is a powerful reminder that courageous faithfulness in the midst of trials is not only a refining work in us but also a testimony that points others to God’s power.(Because of an internet issue, a very brief part of the sermon was not recorded. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we trust that the message will encourage and inspire you.)#UnionChurchGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #SoliDeoGloria #SundaySermon #InternationalChurch #Guatemala🇬🇹

Convictions in a Compromised WorldDaniel 1:1–21Yesterday we looked at how Daniel and his friends chose faithfulness over conformity in a culture that pressured them to compromise. Even in seemingly small decisions, their resolve became the compass that guided their lives and opened the way for God’s blessing.This sermon reminds us that today’s faithful choices, no matter how small, shape tomorrow’s influence and integrity. It calls us to reflect on where we might be compromising and how God can build spiritual resilience in us when we choose conviction over convenience.Listen to the full message and be encouraged to stand firm in your faith.#UnionChurchGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #SoliDeoGloria #SundaySermon #InternationalChurch #Guatemala🇬🇹
