In this episode, Jonathan sits down with Steve Fish, pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to talk about gospel partnership, missions, and ministry across borders.

Together, they reflect on the recent mission team that traveled from Canada to serve here in Big Spring, sharing stories of encouragement, service, and what God is doing through these relationships. Steve also gives insight into ministry in Canada and what listeners can expect as the on a mission trip north this coming July.

This conversation highlights the power of cooperation in the gospel, the joy of serving together, and how God is using His people in both local and international settings. Whether you’re interested in missions, church partnerships, or seeing how God works through faithful service, this episode will encourage and inspire you.

Tune in and hear how God is building bridges for His kingdom—one mission trip at a time.

In today’s sermon from Lamentations 3:22–24, Pastor Mark reminds us of the unchanging and unfailing faithfulness of God. In the midst of suffering, uncertainty, and hardship, Scripture declares that God’s mercies are new every morning and His steadfast love never fails.

This message points us to the truth that God’s faithfulness is not seasonal, situational, or dependent on our circumstances—it continues always. Pastor Mark connects this powerful promise to the ultimate display of God’s love and faithfulness: the death of Jesus on the cross and His victorious resurrection.

Through Christ, we are reminded that God keeps His promises, remains near to His people, and offers hope that cannot be shaken. If you are walking through a difficult season or simply need encouragement, this sermon will strengthen your faith and renew your trust in the God who is faithful forever.

In this powerful sermon from James 4:17, Pastor Mark challenges us to consider not just the sins we commit—but the sins of omission: the good we know we should do, yet choose to ignore. In “The Sin of Doing Nothing,” we are reminded that obedience to Christ is not optional, delayed, or conditional.

Pastor Mark calls believers to examine their hearts and their daily walk with God, urging us to move beyond passive faith into active obedience. This message confronts spiritual complacency and encourages us to live out our faith with courage, conviction, and faithfulness.

If you’ve ever felt comfortable staying on the sidelines of your faith, this sermon is a timely reminder that following Jesus means stepping forward in obedience—right where you are.

In Revelation: Part 2 of our New Testament Survey series, Jonathan and Brandon move from timelines and theories to the heart of the book—its theology, themes, and why Revelation still matters for Christians today. We explore what this powerful book teaches about worship, perseverance, faithfulness, suffering, and the ultimate victory of Christ.

This episode reminds us that Revelation is about living faithfully in light of who Jesus is and what He has promised. We’ll talk about why believers are called to read, understand, and apply this book in everyday life.

And yes… somehow we even manage to connect the Olympics, Revelation, and Snoop Dogg—because apparently nothing is off-limits in this series. (You’ll just have to listen to find out how that happened.)

If you’ve ever wondered why Revelation matters beyond end-times discussions, this episode is for you—slightly sarcastic, deeply biblical, and surprisingly relevant.

In today’s sermon, “My House Will Be Called a House of Prayer,” Pastor Mark walks us through John 2:16–20, Isaiah 56:7, and Revelation 7:9 to reveal God’s heart for His people and His church. We are reminded that God’s house was never meant to be a place of exclusion, distraction, or division—but a place of prayer, worship, and gospel-centered mission.

Pastor Mark clearly presents the good news of Jesus while pointing us to God’s desire for people from every nation, tribe, and tongue to know Him. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts, our churches, and our priorities as we align ourselves with God’s welcoming and redemptive purpose.

Be encouraged and reminded that God’s heart is open to all—and His house is meant to reflect that truth.

Welcome to the book of Revelation… where opinions are strong, charts are plentiful, and nobody agrees on anything. Resource links at the bottom.

In Part 1 of our Revelation discussion, Jonathan and Brandon lay the groundwork by walking through authorship, possible dates of writing, and then bravely stepping into the deep end of end-times interpretation. Yes, we cover all the major views—especially the different perspectives on the millennium—and yes, we probably left someone’s favorite chart out. Don't miss part 2 next week though, which is more important as we will discuss the theological implications of the book.

Along the way, both hosts share their own interpretive viewpoints, explain why they hold them, and do their best to be fair… while fully expecting to upset at least a few listeners in the process. If you have strong opinions about Revelation, rest assured: there is a very good chance you will feel personally challenged at least once.

This episode is thoughtful, biblical, honest, and occasionally sarcastic—because sometimes that’s the only way to talk about apocalyptic literature without losing your mind.

Listen in for solid background, respectful debate, and a reminder that faithful Christians can disagree while still standing firmly on God’s Word. Don't miss part 2 next week where we focus on the theological teachings of the book.

Revelation Commentary Jonathan quoted from

In this powerful and personal message, Pastor Mark takes us to Jesus’ conversation with Peter on the shore in John 21 and asks the same searching question Jesus asked long ago: “Do you love Me?”

Through this passage, we are reminded that following Christ is not just about words, habits, or religious activity—it is ultimately about love. Pastor Mark unpacks three essential ways God calls believers to love Him: Supremely — loving God above all else. Actively — living out that love through obedience and service. Openly — expressing our love for Christ without fear or shame.

This sermon challenges us to examine our hearts and consider whether our love for Jesus is truly shaping our priorities, choices, and witness. It is both a call to deeper devotion and an invitation to renewed relationship with our Savior.

Listen in and reflect on how you are responding to Christ’s simple yet life-changing question: Do you love Me?

It’s only 25 verses… so naturally we talked about it for over 35 minutes. You’re welcome.

In this episode of our New Testament Survey series, we tackle the tiny-but-mighty book of Jude and somehow manage to stretch it into a full-length conversation. Along the way, we cover the date of the letter, dig into authorship (yes, which Jude wrote it), and talk through why those details actually matter.

We also step into an important discussion about what the Bible teaches regarding Mary and Joseph having biological children, and how that fits with Jude’s identity and the broader New Testament witness.

If you’ve ever thought, “What could you possibly say that long about Jude?”—this episode is here to lovingly prove you wrong. It’s packed with theology, history, a few rabbit trails, and plenty of good conversation as we continue learning our way through the New Testament together.

In today’s sermon, Pastor Mark walks us through the powerful story of Jesus walking on the water and reminds us that storms are not accidental in the life of a believer—they are often part of God’s plan to shape us into the likeness of Christ.

When it feels like God is distant and help is delayed, Pastor Mark encourages us with this truth: the moment it seems like God is not coming is often the very moment He shows up. Just as Jesus came to the disciples in the middle of the storm, He meets us in our moments of fear, doubt, and weakness.

This message challenges us to shift our focus from the waves around us to the Savior before us. When we fix our eyes on the storm, fear grows—but when we focus on God, peace takes its place.

If you’re walking through a difficult season, this sermon will remind you that Jesus sees you, is coming to you, and is using even the storm to draw you closer to Himself.
