There’s no other name in this world that can save other than Jesus Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Mark says, if anyone teaches otherwise, they’re lying and deceived. Jesus calls Himself the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Him. All you must do to be saved is believe. Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you. When you believe in Jesus, you have hope that’s greater than any hope this world can give. God is love, that’s why He sent His Son for you. Jesus died on the cross so you can be free from the chains of sin and have a relationship with Him. Trust in Jesus today!

Every day something new from this world will disappoint you. Whether it’s people, plans, or just everyday objects. Everything in this world will fail you. In today’s message, Pastor Mark says we must follow Jesus because He won’t fail. Jesus promises an inheritance in Heaven for all those who believe in Him. Trust Jesus today because He’ll never fail you. He loves you so much that He went to the cross for your sins. When Jesus makes a promise, it happens. We see it throughout scripture: Jesus’s promises always stand. Trust in the one who’ll never fail you and believe that He is the only one who can save you and this world.

Scripture says that believers will be rejected and mocked by the world. In today’s message, Pastor Mark says though Christians will be rejected by the world, God draws near to them. God is a God of love, and He wants to be close to you. That’s why amidst persecution, He draws closer to you, to comfort you and give you peace. God loves you for who you are. He made you and wanted a relationship with you. He sent His Son to die on the cross for your sins. The cross stands as a proclamation that the grave has been defeated and Jesus has conquered once and for all. He made a way when there wasn’t a way, that’s just how good He is.

Jesus changes everything about our lives. He died and rose again on the third day for our sins to be forgiven. In today’s message, Pastor Mark says the questions of this world don’t matter because Jesus is the only way to salvation. Without Jesus, our lives are meaningless, but with Jesus, we have a purpose. Jesus lived a perfect life, so you don’t have to. He went to the cross so you can have a relationship with the king of kings. Jesus bridged the gap that was there. Your sins are forgiven! All you must do is believe and trust that He is who He says He is. There’s a king who defeated the grave, so you don’t have to.

There are a couple of diseases that get passed down just because someone in your family has them. In today’s message, Pastor Mark says sin is a disease that has tainted our bloodline. Ever since Adam we’ve been stained with sin and in need of a savior. That’s where Jesus comes in, He’s the only one who can save. Jesus died on the cross for you. He loves you and humbled himself even though He knew it would hurt. He took all your sins to the cross and has given you new life in Him. Because of this, you can walk freely knowing your sins are forgiven. Jesus made a way for you to have a relationship with the Father because of love.

The Bible is truth; anyone who doesn’t believe is walking in darkness. In today’s message, Pastor Mark says though we can be firm with those in authority in the church about their walks with Christ, we must talk in love and kindness toward lost people because that’s how Jesus is with us. He loves you and wants you. We’re all broken and in need of a savior. Because of this, we need to be kind to those around us. His mercies are new every morning for you, He loves you and wants a relationship with you. If you don’t know Jesus, there’s no greater time than now to put your faith in Him. Trust in Him and find your hope in the one who saves.

Retaliation is a real emotion. It’s the result of sin and everyone’s nature to get payback for what’s wrong. Scripture tells us that God’s the ultimate judge and He’ll come back with a vengeance. In today’s message, Pastor Mark says we must speak the truth like Jesus did when people around Him were wrong. Just as Jesus was humble, you should also be humble. This means thinking of yourself more than others. You must always ask yourself the question how is what am I doing going to affect those around me? Jesus was humble to the point of death on a cross, doesn’t that make you want to be humble before others?

Have you ever wondered why you don’t find a lion in a petting zoo? Well, there aren’t very many people who would feel safe approaching a lion without some sort of barrier to protect them! So why do so many Christians flirt with temptation, knowing full well that it would be better for them to run the other way? A Christian’s reaction to temptation should be to turn away and avoid sin at all costs. Pastor Mark teaches you today that freedom in Christ is given freely, but it can be difficult to maintain. If you don’t guard your heart from temptation, and seek the things of God instead, you may allow the chains of sin to bind you.

Jesus died for you to be free from the burden of sin, but also to give you the opportunity to live life in communion with Him. Your freedom is a gift, but it’s also a gift that can be shared with others. You have the opportunity to reach people around you who may not have known the hope of the Gospel without you. Many New Testament teachers implore their readers to live their lives like Jesus was returning tomorrow. And Pastor Mark is no different in today’s message. What would you do if you knew Jesus was coming back tomorrow? How many people would you tell? How excited would you be to share the good news?

What’s the big deal about being a disciple of Jesus? Isn’t it enough to just accept His forgiveness and live a life that is just “good enough” to get into Heaven? Well, if you truly understand the magnitude of what Jesus has done for you, why wouldn’t you be excited to follow Him and spread the Gospel to everyone? Pastor Mark wants you to know today that there are requirements to be a disciple of Christ. You must deny your own personal wealth and security, be willing to give it all away for the sake of Jesus and devote yourself to studying His Word. Only then will you begin to become more like Christ.
