This week’s sermon in the Everlasting Covenant series looks at Deuteronomy 7:6–9 and Hebrews 8:6–13. Pastor Mark shows that belonging to God’s covenant community isn’t like keeping up with a membership—it’s God’s gracious claim on His people in Christ. We are redeemed, united, and called to live as His treasured possession together.

Jeremiah 31:31–34; Luke 22:14–23

God promises a new covenant that transforms the heart and ends the cycle of repeated sacrifices. In Christ’s blood, the covenant is sealed—and God remembers our sins no more. This sermon traces Jeremiah’s promise to the upper room and calls us to assurance, repentance, and a life shaped by covenant grace.

In Exodus 24, Israel hears God’s covenant words and responds—but the covenant is more than spoken promises. It is confirmed with blood. This week’s message shows how God seals His covenant with His people through His Word, by sacrifice, and ultimately through the perfect mediation of Jesus Christ. The blood of bulls and goats pointed forward to the once-for-all blood of the Lamb, securing forgiveness and eternal life for His people.

Discover how God shows himself as both covenant maker and covenant keeper in Genesis 15. Pastor Mark unpacks Abraham’s doubts, God’s unbreakable promises, and how Christ fulfills the covenant once and for all. A message of grace, assurance, and hope in Christ alone.

In the closing verses of Jude, believers are urged to remember the warnings of the apostles, remain in God’s love, and rely on His power to keep us from stumbling. In this sermon, Kept in God’s Love (Jude 17–25), Pastor Mark unpacks how Christians can stand firm in the face of scoffers, build themselves up in faith, and live with confidence that the God who saves us will also keep us to the end.

Jude calls us to “contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.” In this sermon on Jude 1–16, we consider why the gospel must be guarded, how false teaching creeps in unnoticed, and what it means to pass on the faith as our greatest legacy.

In this final message from 1 Peter, Grace for the Battle, we see Peter’s call to shepherd God’s flock, live in humility, resist the devil, and rest in the grace of God. Our struggles are real, but so is our hope—rooted in the God of all grace who will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish His people.

Fiery trials. Bold faith. Unshakable hope.
In this sermon from 1 Peter 4:12–19, Pastor Mark shows us why suffering for Christ isn’t a detour from the Christian life—it’s part of it. Discover how to endure with joy, wear the name of Christ without shame, and entrust your soul to a faithful Creator.

We’re not called to blend in—we’re called to live differently because of what Christ has done. In this sermon on 1 Peter 4:1–11, Pastor Mark challenges us to reject aimless living, live with eternity in view, and glorify God through faithful, purposeful lives.
