In this passage, we see a moment where Jesus heals a man who could not hear or speak clearly. But the story points to something deeper. Just as Jesus opened that man’s ears and loosened his tongue, He continues to open hearts today—helping us truly hear the good news and giving us the courage to speak about what He has done. The gospel is not only something we listen to; it is something that transforms us and moves through us to others. Where might Jesus be inviting you to listen more closely—and to speak more boldly about what He has done in your life?

In this part of the journey through the Gospel of Mark, we’re invited to consider what it means to become truly desperate for God. When the things we usually depend on—our strength, solutions, and control—fall short, we begin to see how much we actually need Him. Through honest stories and moments from Scripture, we’re reminded that desperation isn’t weakness; it can be the doorway to deeper faith and trust. What happens when we finally come to God with nothing left to rely on but Him?

In this message, Pastor walks through the moment Jesus calls Levi by name and invites him to follow. It’s a simple scene, but it carries life-changing weight. When Jesus calls Levi, everything shifts. His past no longer defines him. His purpose becomes clear. And the relationships he once used for himself become spaces where others can encounter Christ. This is a reminder that when Jesus calls your name, He doesn’t just forgive you—He transforms you. He meets you where you are, calls you forward, and uses your everyday life, your circle, and your story to help others see Him.

This Lent, we journey through the Gospel of Mark, walking closely with Jesus toward Easter. “Can I get a witness?” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a call to know Him personally and testify with our lives. As we watch Christ heal, teach, and restore, we’re invited to move from simply hearing the story to living it.

As the series in Titus wraps up, Pastor brings us back to a simple but crucial reminder: don’t forget the grace.

It’s easy to get busy doing the right things and still miss the foundation of it all. In Titus 3, we’re reminded of who we once were—and what God has done. He saved us not because of our works, but because of His mercy. Grace isn’t something we earn; it’s something we receive. And from that grace flows a life of good works, humility, and unity.

Are you living out your faith from a place of gratitude for grace—or trying to earn what’s already been given?

Following Jesus doesn’t mean blending in with the culture around us. In this message from Titus 3, Pastor reminds us that our words, our posture, and the way we treat others should reflect the grace we’ve received. Instead of anger, slander, or pride, we’re called to humility, kindness, and mercy toward everyone. If God has been this patient with us, how might He be inviting us to live differently with the people around us?

What if the way you live could quietly point people toward Jesus? This message invites us to think about the influence we already carry—at home, at work, in our city—and how our beliefs shape the way we show up in everyday moments. Rather than focusing on loud words or perfect behavior, Pastor walks through what it looks like to let the truth of the gospel shine through ordinary faithfulness, humility, and love. It’s a reminder that transformation doesn’t come from trying harder, but from allowing God to work in and through us as we live out what we believe. Where might God be inviting you to shine right where you are?

Who or what is shaping the way you live? We’re beginning a new series from the book of Titus that looks at how formation happens—often quietly, slowly, and without us realizing it. Whether it’s culture, habits, relationships, or voices we trust, something is always forming us.

Titus points us back to a steady and purposeful way of life, rooted in truth, character, and faith that shows up in everyday actions. This message invites us to pause and reflect on the influences shaping our values, our decisions, and the kind of people we are becoming.

As you consider your own life, who is forming you—and where might God be inviting you to grow?

Sometimes God doesn’t just call us to change direction—He calls us to learn a new way of walking altogether. In this message, Pastor reflects on how God meets people in the middle of uncertainty, transition, and waiting, and how obedience often begins before clarity arrives. Through Scripture and real-life moments, we’re reminded that faith isn’t about having the whole path mapped out, but about trusting God with the next step when the way forward feels unfamiliar. Whether you’re standing at a crossroads, feeling stuck between what was and what’s next, or learning to let go of old patterns, this message points to the hope found in following God’s lead—even when the road looks different than expected. What might it look like for you to trust God with a new way forward, even if you can’t see the whole path yet?

As the people of Israel return from exile, they begin again—not with walls or homes, but with worship. In Ezra 3, the altar is rebuilt, sacrifices resume, and the foundation of the temple is laid. Some rejoice at what God is doing; others weep as they remember what once was. Both responses are held together in the presence of God. This moment reminds us that new beginnings are often mixed with gratitude, grief, hope, and uncertainty. God meets His people not when everything is finished, but when they take faithful steps to rebuild what was lost and re-center their lives around Him. As this new year begins, what might it look like for you to return to the altar—to worship, obedience, and trust—right where you are, even if the past still echoes in your heart?

As a new year begins, it’s easy to rush forward without stopping to reflect. This message invites us to pause and take an honest look at where we’ve been, recognizing how God has carried us through both joy and hardship. It also calls us to look up—to lift our eyes from distractions, regrets, and fears, and re-center our hearts on who God is right now. From that place of humility and trust, we’re encouraged to look forward with hope, not because everything is certain, but because God is faithful.

The new year isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen or having everything figured out. It’s about remembering what God has done, realigning our hearts with Him today, and stepping into tomorrow with confidence rooted in His promises. As you step into this year, what would change if you truly looked back with gratitude, looked up with trust, and looked forward with hope?
