MH1AG Sermon Podcast

In this message, we see how Jesus identifies Himself as our Good Shepherd. We are reminded that Jesus does not merely manage us from a distance or abandon us when things grow difficult. He leads us, protects us, heals our wounds, and ultimately laid down His life for us. This truth has deep implications for how we walk through every season of life, from mountaintop moments to the darkest valleys, knowing we are never without a Shepherd who is fully committed to our care.

What happens when we have nothing left to give? In Mark 6, we find Jesus and his disciples in exactly that place -- emotionally drained from grief, physically exhausted from ministry, and desperately in need of rest. Yet before they can catch their breath, a crowd of thousands surrounds them, and the demand only grows.

When we faithfully give what little we have, God does not leave us empty. The twelve baskets of leftovers may not have been an afterthought -- they may have been the point. God sees those who pour out for others, and he always keeps something in reserve for them. If we have ever served until we were spent and wondered whether anyone cared, this story speaks directly to that place in us.

Thank you for joining our Sunday morning worship service. Pastor Josh continues our sermon series, In His Own Words with a message about Jesus' declaration "I Am the Door"

Using the image of the ancient sheepfold, we will see Jesus is not merely one who points us toward safety, security, and salvation — He is the entrance to it.

The sermon explores Jesus' declaration in John 8:12, where He proclaims Himself to be the Light of the World. This declaration is not simply a poetic description of who He is; it is a call to action for every believer. We are invited to live in His light, reflect that light to a darkened world, and remain close to Him so that the light never dims in our lives.

Thanks for joining us for our midweek worship service. We are honored to have Larry Thomas bringing the word this evening.

What are we truly hungry for? That question sits at the heart of one of the most profound declarations Jesus ever made: 'I am the bread of life.' 

When we anchor our faith to things that perish, our faith tends to perish right along with them. The good news, and it truly is good news, is that Jesus does not ask us to fix ourselves before coming to Him. The work God requires, as Jesus plainly states, is simply to believe in the One the Father has sent. That is the lifeline. That is the invitation. And it is open to every one of us, right now, exactly as we are.

Thank you for joining our midweek worship service. This evening Pastor Josh shares a challenging word on Spiritual Maturity.

We are honored to welcome our Arkansas District Superintendent, Ronnie Morris today.

What do we do when God has spoken a promise over our lives but the provision has not yet arrived? Psalm 30 pulls back the curtain on that raw, honest space between the two, and what we find there is not failure but formation. That tension we feel, the aching gap between what we see and what God said, is not a sign that He has forgotten us. It is the very place where faith is being forged. 

Thanks for joining our midweek worship service. This evening Pastor Josh is concluding our Foundations series by looking at what we believe about the New Heavens and the New Earth.

What if your life was currency in the hands of God? The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:15 that he would gladly spend and be spent for the souls of others. That kind of living is rare -- but it is exactly what God is calling us to.

In a culture that is increasingly self-focused, God is calling His church to submit their lives as currency in His hands, to be spent for the purposes of His kingdom.
