Speaking empty words without action is not faith. Intellectual ascent is not faith. Feelings are not faith. Faith is trusting in Jesus in such way that one’s entire life is oriented around following him.

Pastor Marcus preaches a message how God's grace and power make the Church the Church and propel the mission of God.

As we look to the Christ’s return, we recognize the hospitality we’ve received from God in Christ Jesus and seek to live intentional lives of love, welcome, and grace towards others.

Pastor Marcus shares a message on fostering genuine relationships as a part of the sermon series on "Non-Negotiables." The message covers how love reflects, frees, and empowers. 

Our culture simultaneously advocates for hyper-individualism and demands we conform to particular tribes. The Scriptures invite us to see our individual selves as part of the body of Christ. It is here we encounter unity in diversity. And above all, it is here we find the joy of union with Christ.

Pastor Marcus finished our Advent series with a message on "Waiting for Renewal." What is God always working? Renewal. Right now, he's renewing his creation. In the future, he will renew his creation. 

The Good News of Christmas is that the babe of Bethlehem is Lord of all. This means that our God has drawn near to comfort, redeem, save, and give us peace as we live under the rule and reign of King Jesus.

Pastor Marcus encourages us that wherever we are and in whatever we're doing, if we do it in faith, we'll find God there. Because God has come to be with us. 

In a world aching for transcendence, God responds to that ache by sending his Son to be Immanuel, God With Us. Just as Jesus was present with us as the baby born in Bethlehem, he promises to be present with us now, as a foretaste of our future of living in His presence for eternity.

The As We Wait series continues as Pastor Marcus shares a message how God has drawn near. He has come to be present with you, pardoned your sin, and right now he has filled you with the power of the Word.
