Is there any hope for humanity? It's an important question with huge implications. Will we find a fix for mankind in human efforts, the policies or well-run programs? In other words, can we repair this thing on our own? Or is there a Divine solution? Join us as Pastor Mark uncovers biblical solutions with the message, Big Question, Best Answer.

The Blessing of Facing Opposition (Matthew 5:10-12)

Living a supremely blessed life as a Christ-follower also means having a deal with harassment and opposition and persecution from others. As we wrap up our series on the Beatitudes, we will look at how to face the pressures we feel from our society today and remain faithful to our Savior and to the truth of His Word.

The Blessing of Restored Relationships (Matthew 5:9)

Jesus came to bring peace, but humanity often rejects it. Millennia of war, strife and unrest has proven that. Why is peace so hard to find and sustain? Join us as we continue our sermon series from Matthew 5 as Pastor Mark preaches on, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."

The Blessing of Integrity (Matthew 5:8)

Integrity is what you are when no one else is looking. As we continue in our series, we will look at the importance of living with integrity when it comes to what we say, see, think, and feel. Remaining "pure in heart" allows us the blessing of being able to "see God" and enjoy a close personal relationship with Him. With the Spirit's help, we can experience God's presence, feel His power, and relax in His peace and forgiveness.

The Blessing of Being Merciful (Matthew 5:7)

We all love the fact that Jesus does not give us what our sins deserve (death and separation); instead He loves and forgives us as He shows us mercy. We love His mercy, but at times we are not so quick to show that same mercy to others. That's an issue because Jesus tells us, "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." Join us as Pastor Dave looks at the unmerciful servant and then what the blessing of being merciful looks like in your life.

The Blessing of Living God's Way (Matthew 5:6)

Righteousness involves a relationship and a lifestyle. it's a relationship we, as Christ-followers, enjoy because God has made us right through faith. However, it's also a lifestyle because, in response to God's love and grace, we seek to live a life of righteousness that honors our Lord. This week, as we look at Jesus' fourth beatitude, we will look at the righteousness God freely offers, as well as what it takes to have a hunger and thirst for "Living God's Way".

The Blessing of Being Gentle (Matthew 5:5)

Gentleness may be an attribute we value in a nanny or a nurse, but it doesn't seem beneficial in our tough world. Jesus says it is. We are continuing our sermon series from the beatitudes, and this Sunday, Pastor Mark will help us understand, "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth."

The Blessing of God's Comfort (Matthew 5:4)

Life is full of sorrow and suffering. Thankfully, to help us rise above these problems and pressures, Jesus teaches a second beatitude that reminds us that God is available to help us in our time of need. As we continue in our series, "Blessed", we look at and celebrate the blessing of the comfort God provides in our time of need.

April 21, 2024

On Easter, we celebrate Christ's resurrection and the fact that His victory over the grave has the power to strengthen our trust in all of God's promises. As followers of Christ, the empty tomb helps address our questions and worries, and offers us an opportunity to develop and deepen our faith.

The Blessing of Depending on God (Matthew 5:3)

The Beatitudes are much more than nice sayings to be written on wall plaques. These words from the lips of our Lord provide direction and guidance for the heart of every true believer. In the eight Beatitudes recorded in Matthew 5, we rejoice in Jesus' wisdom that allows us to live a life that is supremely blessed! This Sunday, we look at the blessing that comes our way when we humbly depend, not upon ourselves, but upon God.
