ONE Church

Have you ever prayed with everything in you, only to be met with silence, disappointment, or lingering doubt? You don't have to carry perfect faith to bring your brokenness to Jesus—He meets us right in the middle of our mess.

In Message 9 of the Follow Me: A Journey Through Mark series, Pastor Joel Hendricks takes us into Mark 9:14–29. Fresh off the glory of the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus and His disciples step back down into the valley of everyday life, only to find chaos, religious arguments, and a father desperate for his tormented son. While the religious leaders argue over policy and the disciples fail due to self-reliance, Jesus shows that true discipleship isn't about inherited faith or proximity—it requires total, daily dependence on Him.

If you’ve ever cried out, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief," this message is a powerful reminder that struggling with your faith doesn’t mean you’ve lost it. Biblical faith isn’t about manufacturing enough strength on your own; it’s about fixing your eyes on the One who is able. Discover why prayer is the essential bridge to God’s power and how Jesus remains the hero of every story.

It’s easy to follow Jesus when He’s performing miracles and drawing crowds, but what happens when following Him means carrying a cross? In this powerful message, we discover why answering Jesus’ question—"Who do YOU say that I am?"—changes everything about how we live.In Message 8 of the "Follow Me: A Journey Through Mark" series, we reach a monumental turning point in Mark 8:27–38. For chapters, crowds marveled at miracles, healings, and supernatural feedings. But in Caesarea Philippi, surrounded by competing cultural idols and political powers, Jesus pivots from public displays of power to the core purpose of His coming: the cross, redemption, and the true cost of Christian discipleship.Jesus asks His disciples two defining questions: “Who do people say that I am?” followed by the intensely personal, “Who do you say that I am?” While Peter correctly identifies Jesus as the Christ (the Messiah), he quickly stumbles when Jesus reveals that the Messiah must suffer, be rejected, and die. We are reminded that it’s possible to live on "borrowed faith"—riding the coat-tails of parents, pastors, or church culture—while completely resisting Christ's call to personal lordship and heart transformation.True discipleship is not comfortable, and taking up your cross isn't a metaphor for life's everyday inconveniences. It is a daily decision to surrender self-centered ambition, endure rejection for the sake of the Gospel, and follow Christ wherever He leads. We don't follow Jesus because He simply makes life better; we follow Jesus because He is better than life itself.Timestamps[00:00] – Welcome & Announcements[05:08] – Scripture Reading: Mark 8:27[06:39] – The Major Turning Point in Mark's Gospel[08:08] – "Who Do People Say That I Am?"[10:27] – The Real Question: "Who Do You Say That I Am?"[15:20] – The Danger of Living on Borrowed Faith[19:18] – Peter's Confession: "You Are the Christ"[21:23] – Rebuking the Cross: The Stumbling Block of Suffering[27:14] – The Cost of Discipleship: Deny Yourself[30:24] – What It Actually Means to "Take Up Your Cross"[36:10] – Surrender Over Comfort: Following Jesus Fully[42:33] – Closing Prayer & Altar Call#ONEChurch #GospelOfMark #FollowMe #ChristianDiscipleship #FaithInJesusONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.Our mission is to make sure NO ONE WALKS ALONE.

When faced with an impossible situation, our first instinct is often to calculate our limits, count what we lack, or walk away. But what if God isn’t asking you for what you don’t have—what if He simply wants you to surrender what you do have?

In Message 7 of our Follow Me: A Journey Through Mark series, Pastor Joel walks through the historical account of Jesus feeding the 5,000 in Mark 6:35–44. While the disciples saw an overwhelming crowd, an isolated place, and an impossible logistical challenge, Jesus saw an opportunity to demonstrate compassion and invite His followers into the miraculous. Often, the very things we perceive as interruptions or inconveniences in our busy lives are actually divine invitations to step out in faith.

Through this powerful teaching, we are challenged to stop calculating in our own strength and start trusting the sufficiency of Christ. God doesn’t need our resources to perform a miracle, but He chooses to use what we surrender—our time, talents, and treasure—to satisfy needs far beyond what we could ever imagine. Little is much when Jesus is in it.

What do you do when your urgent prayer feels delayed by God? Discover how Jesus turns life’s most painful pauses into powerful displays of His purpose and glory.

In Message 6 of our journey through the Gospel of Mark (Follow Me), we dive into Mark chapter 5 to examine two life-altering encounters with Jesus: the desperate plea of Jairus, a synagogue leader whose daughter is dying, and the woman who reached out in faith to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. When every second counted for Jairus, Jesus stopped in the middle of a pressing crowd to attend to an interruption—a moment that tested Jairus’ patience and pushed his faith to the absolute limit.

Waiting on God is often one of the hardest human experiences. When life feels out of control and answers seem slow, it is easy to become anxious, frustrated, or fearful. But as we see in Scripture, God’s delays are not His denials. Biblical waiting is not passive resignation; it is active expectation rooted in faith, knowing that God is working behind the scenes for a greater purpose.

No matter the storm, setback, or delay you are walking through right now, Jesus speaks the exact same words to your heart: “Do not fear; only believe.” When we relinquish our need for control and surrender to His timing, God’s perfect plan will always reveal His greatest glory.

When life hits with sudden storms and overwhelming uncertainty, it’s easy to panic and wonder: Where is God? In Message 5 of the Follow Me series, discover why the storms you face aren’t a sign of God's absence, but an invitation to experience His unstoppable peace and presence.

Walking with Jesus isn’t always a straight, smooth path—true discipleship often takes us through unexpected turbulence. Diving into Mark 4:35–40, we explore the familiar story of Jesus and His disciples crossing the Sea of Galilee. When a violent windstorm threatens to sink their boat while Jesus sleeps in the stern, the disciples cry out in panic: "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"

Too often, fear distorts our perspective and convinces us that our struggles are bigger than the God in our boat. But being in the center of God's will doesn’t mean smooth sailing; Jesus purposefully led His disciples into the storm to disciple them, deepen their faith, and reveal His authority over both the wind and their worries.

In this message, learn three life-changing reasons why you never have to be afraid in the storm: His Presence (He will never leave you), His Peace (which surpasses all understanding), and His Promise (what God starts, He will faithfully finish). Whatever storm you are facing today, anchor your faith in Jesus and know that you are kept by Him.

Are you just showing up, or are you truly walking with Jesus? Discover what true discipleship looks like and the three powerful callings God has on your life today.

In Week 4 of our sermon series "Follow Me: A Journey Through Mark," we explore Mark 3:13–15 to understand the heart of Jesus’ call. Discipleship is not an achievement, a checklist of religious habits, or a favor we do for God—it begins entirely with His divine initiative and sovereign invitation. Before we ever sought Him, Christ chose us, loved us, and called us into a life-changing relationship.

Through personal testimony and powerful Biblical truths, this message unpacks the three specific callings Jesus gives every believer: to be with Him in daily intimacy, to be sent out as a faithful witness, and to walk in His power and authority over the opposition of the enemy. You don't have to defend God or win arguments; you are simply called to know Him intimately and testify to how He has changed your life.

Watch this message to learn how to resist the enemy, eliminate the footholds in your walk, and move from merely knowing about God to experiencing true intimacy and purpose in Christ.

Does your past or current situation make you feel like God could never use you? In this powerful message from Mark 2, discover how Jesus steps straight into the messiest parts of our lives, sees beyond our labels, and calls us into a purpose greater than we could ever imagine.

In Message 3 of the sermon series "Follow Me: A Journey Through Mark," Pastor Joel Hendricks unpacks the radical calling of Levi (Matthew) in Mark 2:13–17. While religion often waits behind church walls, Jesus walks directly to the tax booth—reaching out to a despised social outcast and extending an invitation of grace. Through Levi’s immediate response and Pastor Joel’s personal testimony, we are reminded that our history explains where we have been, but it never has to dictate where God is taking us.

True Christian discipleship was never meant to be an isolated "holy huddle" for the comfortable. When Levi encountered Jesus, he immediately opened his home and invited his entire circle of friends—fellow tax collectors and sinners—to sit at the table with the Savior. Jesus didn't come to call the righteous or the self-sufficient; He came on a rescue mission for those who need a physician.

As followers of Christ, we are commissioned to take the Gospel beyond the church building into our daily lives and "third places"—from the gym to the coffee shop, classroom, and workplace. Discipleship is intentional, messy, and driven by a simple truth: Found people find people.

Are you running on spiritual empty while trying to meet every demand around you? Discover how intentional quiet time with God transforms ordinary life into extraordinary kingdom purpose.In this message from the "Follow Me" series through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor brings us to Mark 1:35–39 to examine the early ministry of Jesus. Despite exploding popularity, endless crowds, and urgent physical needs around Him, Jesus made it His priority to rise early, seek solitude, and anchor Himself in prayer with the Father.Through this powerful teaching, we learn three essential priorities for true discipleship: rising early with intention, seeking solitude rather than falling into dangerous isolation, and committing to deep prayer. If you've felt distracted by the noise, overwhelmed by expectations, or stagnant in your faith walk, this sermon offers a candid and challenging reminder: much time with Jesus brings much power, but no time with Jesus leaves us with no power.Timestamps00:00 - Welcome & Community Updates02:29 - Introduction to the Book of Mark & Discipleship08:22 - Reading Mark 1:35–3910:27 - Priority #1: Rise Early (Being Intentional)20:02 - Priority #2: Seek Solitude (Solitude vs. Isolation)24:42 - Priority #3: Spend Time in Prayer26:20 - Resisting the Noise & Obligations of the Crowd32:23 - Knowing Your Ultimate Purpose37:16 - No Time = No Power: The Root of Spiritual Strength40:41 - Closing Prayer & Invitation#Discipleship #GospelOfMark #ONEChurch #ChristianSermon #PrayerLifeONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.Our mission is to make sure NO ONE WALKS ALONE.

Are you following your own dreams, the crowd, or the true call of Jesus? Discover what genuine biblical discipleship looks like and how surrendering your nets can lead to an eternal purpose.In Message 1 of the new series "Follow Me: A Journey Through Mark," Pastor Joel opens up the Gospel of Mark with a passionate message on what it truly means to follow Jesus. Diving into Mark 1:16–20, we see Jesus meeting Simon, Andrew, James, and John right in the middle of their everyday work. Discipleship isn't about passive belief or spiritual achievement; it’s an active, daily journey of surrendering our security, comfort, and personal agendas to follow Him.Jesus sees you right where you are—not for your past mistakes, but for who you can become in His grace. He doesn't take resumes; He recruits ordinary people who are willing to grind for His glory. Your ultimate purpose isn't just making a living, but making disciples and leaving an eternal impact in your community, workplace, and family.Timestamps[00:00] - Welcome, Community Announcements & Gratitude[06:51] - Introducing the New Series: Follow Me (A Journey Through Mark)[09:07] - Background & Unique Features of the Gospel of Mark[12:35] - What is Discipleship?
