Today Pastor Mark teaches, that Christians should never follow mans commands, if they break God's principles. Today's headlines reveal startling news of people willing to do just that. Day after day, new ways to attack Christian beliefs surface and they range from absurd, to horrific.

Today Pastor Mark teaches, we need to care enough to share. In the world we live in it's easy to get in the selfish, you do you mentality. Christians need to develop compassion like Jesus, to really see the need of all people. It shouldn't be ignored, it cant be a program and it can't be forced. It has to come from the heart. Many people are sending out an SOS, sometimes it's loud and clear, sometimes it's silent. Can you see through these hidden messages for help? Don't be fooled, every heart is empty without God. Instead of just minding your own business, pray, care and share.

Repent, believe and follow Me. Every time Jesus spoke of repentance He made sure to tell them what to do next. It's important that when we're sharing the gospel, we follow the same model. Today we're made aware that so many people don't know what to do after the first step. People need direction and they’ll look anywhere to get some, so why not you? There are countless religions that'll give them the wrong information for sinful reasons, so we need to proclaim, it's not about a church, or a feeling. Its about The Way, The Truth and The Life and that my friends, is Jesus.

Today Pastor Mark starts out asking us a very important question. What's the most valuable thing you own.

The answer, is of course found in scripture. Listen in as Pastor skillfully examines and reveals, what God's Word claims should be the most valued thing you possess.

If happiness depends on the circumstances of life, you can guarantee that you're not always going to be happy. Day to day living produces countless opportunities for things to go wrong.

Joy is a deep, settled confidence that God's in control of every aspect of your life. God's talking about more than just a chuckle, He's talking about displaying the fruit of the Spirit which brings joy. Remember, real joy is your choice and it comes from abiding in the vine.

Being accountable helps you be real, authentic, keep sharp and grow spiritually. Today Pastor Mark delivers an emotional message we all need to hear. He teaches that the Christian life isn't immune from stress. Financial, physical or emotional... we all have burdens. He says that some of you are hiding and hurting, you put your nice face on when your world is crumbling around you, or is a lie. Friend, you need to learn how to open up instead of hide, otherwise you'll never grow spiritually. We all have pressures and challenges, but we weren’t made to do it alone, we were made to do with God... and one another.

Today Pastor Mark teaches that too many Christians have lost their childlike perspective of life. He say's scientific studies show kids laugh four hundred times a day, whereas adults... only fifteen, that's amazing!

Based on what we've been taught, we might only consider becoming like them in regards to their childlike faith, but why not like them in this aspect as well? Listen in to find out how you can experience this unlimited, uninhibited joy right now.
