Are you more like the shepherd who searches… or the Pharisee who judges? In Mark’s sermon, he contrasts the self-righteous heart that looks down on sinners with the heart of God, who relentlessly seeks the lost and rejoices when they are found.
Would you still follow Jesus if it cost you everything? In this sermon, Simeon walks through Jesus’ parable of the hidden treasure to show that following Christ costs everything, yet brings greater joy than anything this world can offer.
Small doesn’t mean insignificant. In this sermon on the parable of the mustard seed, Mark shows that the kingdom of God begins hidden and small, yet grows with unstoppable power, in the world and in us.
If the seed isn’t the problem… what if the problem is our soil? In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus confronts us with the condition of our own hearts, calling us to move from hardness, shallowness, or distraction into humble, fruitful soil that responds to his word with lasting transformation.
Jesus doesn’t make bad people better. He makes dead people alive. In this sermon, Mark unpacks how Jesus takes us from alienated to adopted and calls us to keep believing all the way to the end.
We were not made for more stuff. We were made for the weight of Christ. In Tony’s sermon, we see three glorious realities about Jesus: his power over everything, his promise to reconcile us, and his place as first in our lives.
What if you designed your life around God’s calling, not just out of ambition? Mark's message guides through calling so you can live intentionally and faithfully with how you spend your time, energy, and life.
God doesn’t change us by intensity, but by rhythm. Mark gives practical and biblical insight to help us align our lives with God's design through consistent weekly rhythms.
You won’t become more godly by wanting it more. You’ll become more godly by training differently, and in this sermon we’ll see how real spiritual growth is formed through daily habits, not momentary motivation.
When the blood of Jesus stops feeling precious, sin starts feeling casual. In his sermon from The Salt Company Conference, Zach reminds us that holiness flows from remembering what we were redeemed from and what we were redeemed with.
Gratitude is a response to God’s grace, not something we create on our own. In this end of year sermon, Steve unpacks where true gratitude comes from and how it naturally grows when our lives are shaped by grace.
The message of Christmas isn’t for perfect people; it’s for all people. The good news of Jesus meets us exactly where we are and invites every one of us to receive the Savior who came for us.
Can you still have great joy when God hasn’t answered yet? This sermon shows how, like Simeon and Anna, deep joy is found by holding onto God’s promises, worshiping while we wait, and refusing to walk through waiting seasons alone.
The message of Christianity isn’t good advice, but good news. Mark’s sermon calls us to see Christianity not as opinion or moral guidance, but as true historical news about Jesus that was prophesied, fulfilled, and requires a personal response of faith and allegiance.
If you want to live without fear, you have to fight fear… with fear. In this sermon, we see how Mary’s awe of God grew larger than every uncertainty she faced, showing us that the fear of the Lord is the only fear strong enough to silence all the others.
Your glorification isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a settled reality in the courtroom of heaven. In the final sermon of the Gospel Promises series, Mark unpacks Romans 8:28–39 to show how God assures every believer that they will be glorified with Christ eternally.
Your grief over sin isn’t weakness. It’s the Holy Spirit at work. In this message from Romans 8, we learn that the promise of life in Christ is proved through a Spirit-empowered fight against sin—not to earn God’s love, but because we already belong to him as sons and daughters.
If the weight of life has ever made you feel like you’re falling through, this promise is for you. Mark opens the Gospel Promises series with Romans 8:1-4, reminding us that the solid rock of “no condemnation” holds when everything else gives way.
