    Blessed: It's Okay to Hurt

    Pastor John Mark reminds us that faith and grief can coexist. Through biblical stories of loss and mourning, we learn it’s okay to hurt, to admit our pain, and to grieve honestly before God. God comforts us in our struggles so we can comfort others, inviting us to trust Him and carry each other’s burdens in community.

    Blessed: I Need God

    Pastor John Mark begins the "Blessed" series. This sermon teaches that true blessing begins with admitting our deep need for God—being “poor in spirit.” Blessing isn’t about circumstances or success, but about receiving God’s grace, forgiveness, and direction. When we humbly depend on God, He fills our emptiness, changes our hearts, and empowers us to live for Him.

    Whatever: Whatever is Noble and Right

    Our thoughts shape our actions, habits, and character. This sermon urges us to reject toxic thinking, renew our minds with God’s truth (Philippians 4:8), and focus on what is noble and right. By doing so, we build integrity, honor God, and leave a meaningful legacy.

    Whatever: Whatever is True

    This sermon launches a series on winning the battle of the mind by using Philippians 4:8 as a “filter” for what you allow to shape your thoughts. The key idea is that your mind is never empty—it's always thinking about something—so the real question is whether you’re filling it with God’s truth or with lies that lead to toxic living.

    GPS: Live This Way

    God’s “GPS” story in Exodus shows Him leading people from slavery to freedom and then giving them guidance for how to live well along the way. Pastor John Mark explains that God’s laws aren’t meant to feel like prison bars, but like guardrails—loving boundaries that protect us from wrecking our lives, harming others, or destroying our families.

    America's Christian Heritage

    Pastor John Mark reveals how the Treaty of Paris opens with "the most holy and undivided Trinity"—proof that faith wasn't separate from our nation's birth, it was the cornerstone.

    GPS: God Gives You What You Need

    In this powerful installment of the GPS series, Pastor John Mark unpacks Exodus 16, where God rains down manna each morning—not a lifetime supply, but just enough—teaching Israel that daily dependence is the pathway to deep faith. Like Abraham, who declared "Jehovah Jireh" before seeing the ram, we're invited to trust the God who provides just in time.

    GPS: Trust God in the Bitter Places

    Pastor John Mark walks through Exodus 15 and reveals how bitterness becomes a poison, a prison, and a prism distorting everything we see.

    GPS: God's Powerful Story Sets You Free

    Pastor John Mark walks us through Exodus, showing how God's ten plagues weren't just ancient history—they were surgical strikes against every false god that enslaves us today, from addiction to anxiety to unforgiveness. Whether your bondage is bad habits, deep hurts, paralyzing fears, or destructive lies, God sees, hears, and is already moving to set you free.
