Good Friday 2015: The message of the cross is the power of God to save. The painful, shameful death of Jesus Christ on the cross is the central symbol of Christianity. Though unexpected and offensive to some, the cross is really good news which reveals the true wisdom of God and makes foolish the “wisdom” of the world. When you focus on the cross, not being distracted by secondary matters, and feel the weight of what Christ bore on your behalf, you will boast in the Lord—giving God the glory due his name. Recorded on Apr 3, 2015 by Pastor David Parks […]

The Battle for the Family of God: This sermon is part of The Gospel According to Mark series. When Jesus is accused of being possessed by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, Jesus delivers a fascinating, wide-ranging response on the reality of Satan, the offer for forgiveness, the unforgivable sin, and his battle for the family of God. The world—under the power of Satan, sin, and death—is a kingdom of darkness. However, Jesus the Son of God, has invaded this Dark Kingdom to break the power of darkness and rescue the family of God through his life, death, and resurrection. The offer for forgiveness and family stand […]

Culture of Discipleship: This sermon is part of The Gospel According to Mark series. Jesus called the twelve apostles to follow him because he wanted them to be with him. After following him and learning from him, Jesus sent them out with the good news of the gospel to do what he had been doing. This process of discipleship—of following Jesus and helping others do the same—is the mission of the church (including every individual Christian) to this day. Discipleship requires access to people’s lives, the truth of the gospel, the power of the Spirit, and love. Who are you helping to follow […]

Responding To Grace: This sermon is part of The Gospel According to Mark series. When people met Jesus, some followed him, but some didn’t; some responded by faith, but some remained hard-hearted and plotted to destroy him. Jesus continues to demand a response from people today. How will we respond to him? And what do we do (or not do) for those who don’t respond well to the grace of God? Gospel transformed people are humbly heartbroken, seeking to be helpful without losing hope for those around us who do not yet follow Jesus. Recorded on Mar 15, 2015 by Pastor David […]

Lord of the Sabbath: This sermon is part of The Gospel According to Mark series. Feeling exhausted? Worn out? There are many voices in life saying, “You can’t rest.” God created us to have meaningful work, yes, but also to enjoy restorative Sabbath rest. The Sabbath was given to be a blessing and holy time to regularly remember who God is and what He has done for us as our Creator and Redeemer, to worship God, and to be refreshed. Ultimately, true rest can only found in Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath, who says, “Come to me…and I will give you rest.” […]

New Wine: This sermon is part of The Gospel According to Mark series. John the Baptist’s disciples and the pharisees’ disciples were regularly fasting, but Jesus’ disciples were not. Why? God was doing something new through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Jesus compares the old/new work of God to an old/new cloth and wineskin—the new work doesn’t fit into the old, but replaces the old altogether. “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This new work of God should be the focus of our lives and is worth celebrating […]
