An Encouraging Word

What’s the encouraging word for the believer who feels despair? We’re not talking about election results here. No  just day-to-day living. (Guest speaker, Bill Robertson.)

No Paybacks

Want to get even with someone who’s wronged you? It’s easy: Forgive them and let God merit out justice. Yeah, so “easy”…

You Do You

We all have some gifts from Christ to be used for the common good. So use what you got in order to experience a winning life in Christ.

Noah and Her Sisters

Think there’s a typo in the title? Nope. But it’s got you wondering. This message is about dealing with life’s realities and possibilities, seeking truth, taking Godly action, and trusting the Lord with the outcomes. Guest speaker: Duane Sarazin

Don't Fake It

The fourth key to a victorious life is to really love others and not fake it—where you don’t have to hide your true self because you truly do love others, showing devotion and honor. It’s a life free of hypocrisy.

Get Real

The second key to a victorious life in Christ is to take a clear, honest look at ourselves. Reality check: The world doesn’t revolve around us and we are not nearly as important as we may/usually think we are.

Apple Pie

What better way to wrap up a message series than with an all-time favorite dessert, apple pie. But there’s more to the apple in the bible than meets the eye.

Figs with Labneh Cheese

The fig tree is referred to often in the bible, usually as a sign of blessing and goodness. But fig trees that don’t produce fruit get the ax. And Jesus applies this illustration to our present lives. The good news on is it’s not over until it’s over!

Apicius' Roast Lamb

It’s written that Jesus is referred to as the “lamb of God.” Well, if Jesus is the lamb of God, why in the world is Pastor Mark giving us a recipe for roast lamb?! It’s time to explore this entrée mystery.

Cato’s Grape Must Cakes

Ever seen grapes grow without being attached to a vine? Doubt it. Same goes for Christians, i.e. the only chance of having a fruitful life is by staying connected to Jesus.
