1 corinthians 15:58

Hear the words of Jesus when He said..."I will build My Church; and the 'gates of hell' shall not prevail against it." Jesus is saying, should "the gates of hell" come against My Church, it will not prevail! Prevail means "more powerful than opposing forces - victorious! The enemy may buffet us, and seek to harass us with the "cares of life,' but we are triumphant in the redemption of our Savior! 2 Cor. 2:14 "Thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ!"

The more we know God, the more we can trust God. The mercy of God will always be bigger than your messes. Jesus was sent to earth and He sends us. My journey begins with redemption; it doesn't stop at forgiveness.

God weaves our failures into the story of our lives.

Pastor Marc Sharp continues with Part Two of a series looking at the tiny epistle of Jude, the half-brother of Jesus. Jude’s original intent was to write something encouraging or instructive about salvation, but a crisis shifted his focus to warning his readers about the venom of false teachers and believers.

Today, Pastor Marc Sharp concludes the two-part series about the tools through which God most commonly brings about his will, and distributes his grace in our lives. This message looks more closely at two additional "ordinary" means of grace that we must utilize: the sacraments (baptism and the Lord’s Supper), and the church, while also looking more deeply into the role of the Holy Spirit in all of this. NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, there is an approximate 3 minute gap in the audio around the 30 minute mark.

On this unusual Mother's Day, Pastor Marc Sharp begins a new series called "Compare and Contrast". In today's message, Pastor Marc contrasts two foundational elements for Christians - justification and sanctification. Do you know the difference? It's profound and important that we fully understand both justification and sanctification, and the role that Jesus plays in making them part of our daily lives. Today's service was also live-streamed on Facebook for those who could not attend in person.

THE most difficult of questions. One the greatest minds walking the earth wrestle with - and come away unsure. How are we to answer that great question - If God is absolutely sovereign, why are we told to "work out your own salvation"?
