Send us a text What does it mean to be adopted into God's family? Pastor Mark takes listeners on a transformative journey through Romans 8:15-17, revealing how spiritual adoption completely redefines our identity and relationship with God. The concept of adoption often carries connotations of abandonment, but Pastor Mark offers a radical reframing: being adopted by God means you are profoundly wanted. This isn't a reluctant acceptance but an intentional choosing that makes believers "co-heir...
Send us a text What happens when we face God's perfect moral law but fall short? Pastor Mark delivers a powerful message about the stark difference between natural laws and God's divine law—revealing how one has many penalties while the other carries a single, non-negotiable consequence: death. Through a careful examination of Romans 3:19-20, Pastor Mark illuminates how the Mosaic Law serves not as a pathway to salvation but as a mirror reflecting our inherent sinfulness and desperate need f...
Send us a text The concept of spiritual gifts lies at the heart of Christian service and community building. In Pastor Mark's recent message, he draws a critical distinction between worldly charisma and spiritual charisma that every believer needs to understand. While today's definition of charisma typically describes someone who can draw attention to themselves, spiritual charisma (or spiritual gifts) serves an entirely different purpose in God's kingdom. Spiritual gifts, as explained in 1 ...
Send us a text The concept of "small things" is powerfully significant in our spiritual journey, yet often misunderstood or undervalued. Within this episode, Pastor Mark's message offers profound insights into how God views what we might consider insignificant efforts in His service. The message opens with a challenging question from Zechariah 4:10: "For who has despised the day of small things?" This scripture reminds us that God takes special delight in watching the beginning of work done ...
Send us a text In a world filled with constant demands and stressors, Pastor Mark's message on "When Our Soul Needs a Break" offers a timely reminder of Christ's invitation in Matthew 11:28-30. This powerful teaching explores how believers can find genuine rest amid life's challenges by bringing their burdens to Jesus. What exactly is rest from a biblical perspective? Pastor Mark defines it as "refreshing ease," "a state of tranquility," and "relief from anxiety or anything that wearies, tro...
Send us a text Faith in the midst of failure is one of Christianity's most powerful paradoxes. As Pastor Mark delivers this message, he illuminates a truth many believers struggle to accept: failure is an inherent part of the faith journey. This isn't a contradiction but rather a fundamental aspect of what makes faith necessary in the first place. The spiritual journey involves navigating impossibilities, doubts, and insecurities—all of which create opportunities for missteps. However, these...
Send us a text The battle you can't see is the one you need to prepare for most. Pastor Mark Ingram delivers a compelling examination of spiritual warfare, drawing from both Scripture and his military experience to illuminate how believers must recognize, understand, and fight their true enemy. Satan—not other people—stands as our chief adversary, operating through individuals and circumstances while studying our weaknesses with relentless dedication. Like a military commander preparing for ...
Send us a text "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life..." John 6:63 We humbly apply JESUS's wisdom to our insufficient effort to provide eternal life, spiritual renewal, change or growth to human hearts. We pledge to simply cast bait while prayerfully relying on GOD'S SPIRIT to minister to all with "...ears to hear what thus saith our LORD..." concerning 'eternal' things.

Send us a text In this week’s episode, in lieu of eternity, we delve into a topical sermon (traffic) that is very easy to get stuck in or ensnarled by. The Hebrew rendition of a word within our opening text, indicates the feeling of the road ahead of us, being - vexed, hindered or restricted, without GOD'S guidance, wisdom and grace. We thank GOD for JESUS because HE is the way – THE ONLY WAY - out of that which is symbolic of our lives (traffic) in lieu of eternity. TRAFFIC Proverbs 4:12 ...

It is not beauty which defines nor is it necessarily marriage or the lack thereof concerning marital bliss. Yet, it is the woman who seeks after and fears GOD that acquires GOD'S blessedness and favor. Tune in to 'Biblical Thoughts' w/ Twala D.

Send us a text Within this week's message in lieu of eternity... GOD references 'sand' as the boundary which HE placed that causes waves to obey HIS command. Through Jeremiah, GOD says to HIS people, “even the roaring, loud, billowing waves obey MY commands and I even use sand to stop its forward progress so that the waves of the sea can only go so far…” GOD (soon thereafter) contrasts the waves being subject to HIS voice with the disobedient, stubborn, and rebellious nature of HIS pe...
