WWJD

What Would Jesus Do? When I first heard that phrase it was on a short summer visit to the USA. Our family was living in Belo Horizonte, MG Brazil at the time and I had come to the States for a missions conference.  The phrase was a call to Christians to consider what their Savior would do before they would speak or act in their current circumstances. It became a motto imprinted on billboards, t-shirts, and worn most popularly on wristbands. But…

Tailored 2 Fit: New Threads

One of the most difficult truths to read in is that we’re a new creation in Christ. As we begin this new series we start there in this first of three talks. But this phrase, “in Christ,” holds several beautiful truths to encourage our hearts. That one belongs to Christ means that one lives in the sphere of Christ’s power, that one is united with Christ and now that one is part of the body of Christ, the believing community. I hope you’ll join us…

FACES: grace accepts them all

In part two we hear jokingly about “a face only a mother could love” or I’ve heard that a baby is “so ugly their cute”. The truth is that Grace Accepts Them All! This week’s talk is about how God’s Grace is inclusive, freely extended to everyone, but not at the cost of His character. Inclusion for God the Father meant Calvary for Jesus and a cross for each of us!

MindSet: When Anger and Doubt are Right

Do you ever feel right when you’re angry that you’re truly right? Or do you feel embarrassed? Humiliated? How about when you doubt? Do you feel like you have a bonafide reason to doubt? Or do you feel guilty? Ashamed? You see how you see, because of how you feel after you see what you’ve seen. So how does the Gospel tell a better story? Catch us here on Youtube!

The Heart of the Matter – Part 4

Mark’s final message in this series is about serving others as part of following Jesus in His Kingdom of Love. We reveal our love for God above all else and our love for our neighbor as your self. That can best be seen when we get up from our place of comfort, abandon our rights to be served, serve until the task is finished and return to our place. Jesus’ washing the disciples’ feet is our example of how to serve others.

The Heart of the Matter Part 1

A clean heart does not mean a perfect heart. In this opening message, we’ll observe the contrast of perspectives between the word “clean”, meaning no reservations or submitted, and the often used word “perfect” but meaning no errors or independent. Sin is a disposition and is either purposeful, unintentional or done unconsciously. We’ll look at a couple in the newly formed 1st-century church for more detail.

Covered: Part 3 Protected by God from God

This is our final message in this series. As one theologian said, “has not merely paid the penalty” for our sins but “also he has positively merited for us eternal life. . . merited for [us] the reward by his perfect obedience to God’s law,” so we can run to our Father without fear. In Christ, we have the most intimate and unbreakable relationship possible with the God of the universe. We are His legitimate children!”

Cornered Part 1: Set in Stone

Prior to the industrial age, buildings, especially masonry buildings, were built by using a “cornerstone” it was the most important starting point of a building. All the dimensions, the quality, and security of the building were determined by the quality and placement of the cornerstone. In this first talk, Mark focuses on our place of stability in spiritual warfare – the cornerstone. In light of this, we began the morning message contemplating the Serenity Prayer including the little known second…

When you pray Part 5

In this message, Mark puts the wraps on our series concerning prayer. In prayer, we deal directly with God and only in a secondary sense other people. It is not our prayer that moves people, but the God to whom we pray. If a scheming Jacob was given “power with God and with men,” then surely anyone who follows God’s prayer principles can enjoy the same power (Genesis 32:28). And it’s in that power with God that we find the…
