This sermon opens a four-week series called "Don't Take the Bait," focused on living free from the trap of offense. Pastor Jason explains that Satan uses offense as one of his most hidden and effective tools to either destroy or cage people, preventing them from fulfilling God's calling on their lives. Drawing from Luke 17:1 and the Greek word for offense (which literally means "the bait that…
This sermon explores the theme of compassion as the defining characteristic of Jesus and a call for His followers to live it out in practical ways. Drawing from Mark chapter 8 and the feeding of the 4,000, Pastor Jason highlights how Jesus was moved in His gut (the Greek word “splagchna”) by the needs of people around Him, including those considered outsiders or enemies. Compassion for Jesus was…
In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores the concept of vulnerability through the lens of Jesus’ experience in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42). He challenges the common perception that vulnerability is weakness, arguing instead that it is a form of strength. Jesus modeled vulnerability by openly sharing his distress with his closest disciples, Peter, James, and John, and by bringing His…
In this sermon, Pastor Jason explores the theme of rest through the lens of Mark chapter 6, where Jesus and His disciples seek a quiet place to recover after an exhausting season of ministry. Using the story of Jesus being met by a crowd even as He sought rest, he draws out four key lessons: recognizing the need for rest, accepting that life happens, finding rest when you can, and understanding…
This sermon, drawn from Mark chapter 4, explores the story of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee. Pastor Jason uses this passage to help us understand how Jesus sees the storms of life differently than we do. Rather than simply offering relief from difficulty, Jesus offers something deeper: a shalom, or fullness, that fills us from the inside out regardless of what is swirling around…
In this sermon, Pastor Mark continues a series called “The Jesus Filter,” focusing on how Jesus approached interruptions during His earthly ministry. Drawing from Mark chapter 2, he walks through the story of four friends who lowered a paralyzed man through a roof to get him in front of Jesus. Rather than being annoyed by the disruption, Jesus saw their faith and responded with both forgiveness…
The sermon focuses on Mark 1:29-39, where Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in-law and then ministers to a crowd of sick and demon possessed people. After an exhausting stretch of ministry, Jesus rises early the next morning and retreats to a solitary place to pray. He uses this moment to highlight that Jesus modeled the spiritual discipline of solitude, not as a way to escape responsibility, but as a…
In this sermon, Sara Taylor explores how we honor God through what we say, drawing from Colossians 4:2-6 and the surrounding final greetings of Paul’s letter. She focuses on two key areas: our prayer life and our personal relationships. Using relatable stories from parenting and everyday life, she challenges the congregation to examine whether their words bring life or death, and whether they are…
In this sermon from Colossians 3:18 through 4:1, Isaiah Stepney walks through the relational roles that Paul addresses: wives and husbands, children and parents, and bondservants and masters. Using the analogy of an understudy stepping into a lead role in a musical, he frames the central question not as how we can make others fulfill their roles better, but how we can be faithful in the role God…
In this sermon from Colossians 3, Pastor Jason explores what it means to live out a new life in Christ. Drawing on the truth that believers have spiritually died and been raised with Christ, He emphasizes that genuine transformation does not come from trying harder or following a list of rules. Instead, it begins on the inside, with a heart and mind set on eternal things rather than the passing…
