Paul knew the importance of telling the Ephesians the things he had on his heart about Jesus. They needed to hear about Jesus again and be moved in their faith. When Paul saw the need, he stayed up all day and night teaching them and ministering to them. God gave him the ability, and he was faithful to use it. It's important to serve where you know it's needed and where you know that God is calling you to. Pastor Mark wants you to know today that God will provide all your needs while you're following Him. No human can comprehend all that's possible when God's working through you, and it requires you to trust God to do it.

If you heard God calling you to do a work in ministry, right now, would you go? Would you ask questions first to know exactly what's going to happen? Or would you just go and trust God to work out the details along the way? He wants to work through you, but you have to be obedient when He finally calls you. In today's message, Pastor Mark is going to explain how you need to be ready to go where God calls you in the moment God calls you to do it. You never know the impact you could have on the world around you when you're following God's plan. Trust Him to work it out in the end, and just go. Take action when He calls.

God can use you to change the environment around you. It might just be your family, but it could also be your entire city or state! Are you ready to move when God calls you? God's Spirit in you is stronger than the power of anything that stands against you. When God sees you commit to Him, He'll move through you. As you'll get to see in today's message with Pastor Mark, God can use anyone to change the hearts of the people of an area. He just needs you to be sold out on serving Him and to be faithful to go when He calls you. You'll never have to do it alone, but God won't use you if you're not willing to go when the time comes.

God is always in control. Sin will always be in the world, just like it always has been. Sometimes it might be hard to resist the temptation of sin. But in God, there's strength to get through those times. In God, you have a hope for eternity. He holds the world in His hands and can bring you through all that you face. Today, Pastor Mark will remind you to trust in God through the newest trends in culture. When the world tries to take your focus off of God, remember that He is in control. You have to trust Him that He'll get you through anything and put your life in His hands. He can do great things through someone who's surrendered to Him.

Following God isn't guaranteed to be easy. Oftentimes, it's quite the opposite. There's a cost to following God, and that's doing what He wants for your life instead of following your earthly pleasures. As Pastor Mark will show you in today's message, it's important to keep your commitment to God to enjoy the life He has for you. When temptations become strong and when it's hard to follow God's will, you can find rest in God. He'll provide all you need to face what you're up against. Just turn your face back to Him and ask, and keep away from sin. When you let God have His way, He can do amazing things you never could imagine through your life.

Once you give your life to Christ, it should look different. People should notice something different about you. The faith you have is meant to be shared with as many people as you can reach. Everywhere you go is an opportunity to reach more people for Christ. Is He alive in your heart and reaching people through you? The way you live should attract people to the same hope you have. How you live your life is a ministry itself! Today, Pastor Mark will encourage you to be bold in declaring your faith. Be bold in talking to others about what's different about you. You never know who it might touch or lead to Christ.

What does it mean to be a believer and to be filled with the Holy Spirit? In today’s message, Pastor Mark explains the simplicity of these truths. He states that to become a Christian, one only needs to admit they are a sinner and believe in Jesus as Savior. The Holy Spirit is in every believer at the moment of salvation. Many do not experience the power of the Holy Spirit because they have not embraced discipleship. You can become a believer without being discipled. To be a disciple of Christ, one must engage in prayer, study the Bible, and practice daily self-denial. This allows the Holy Spirit to have greater power in your life.

God not only saves us for His Kingdom work but also provides the Holy Spirit to equip us for the Christian life. In today’s message, Pastor Mark shares three key functions of the Holy Spirit that we receive at Salvation. He explains that the Holy Spirit is within us, walks alongside us, and empowers us. When we are saved, the Holy Spirit immediately indwells us. We are sealed and secure by His continued presence. The Holy Spirit also walks with us, helping us understand scripture and giving guidance and direction for our lives. We are also given the power to witness and overcome sin through the Holy Spirit. 

Is it permissible for Jews who have been converted to retain their Jewish customs? Is it acceptable for Christians to participate in Jewish events or ceremonies? In his message today, Pastor Mark addresses these activities and explains when they become an obstacle and the parameters of this freedom. Engaging with another person's culture can enhance our understanding of non-believers and make sharing the Gospel more effective. For a Jew, being open to the Gospel can be easier when they don't feel compelled to abandon their Jewish cultural practices. These customs do not play a role in our salvation.

There is a barrier of unbelief that prevents people from knowing and experiencing Christ. Only God can remove these obstacles that hinder individuals from receiving Him. In his message today, Pastor Mark discusses how God uses everyday people to help break down these invisible barriers that separate us from God. Pastor Mark emphasizes that nothing is more powerful than Christ’s love. People are drawn to Christ by various means. As they overcome any fear they may have, and we continue to share God’s love with them, they will see the difference in our lives that knowing Christ has made and desire to follow Him as a result.
