2 Thessalonians 3:6-18

Part 1 of 2

October 15, 2024 • Pastor Mark Kirk • 2 Thessalonians 3:6–18

Kids are great imitators, aren’t they? They love to pretend to be like a character on TV or a movie. We sometimes think they don’t notice what we do and say, but they absolutely do. In his message today, Pastor Mark will warn you to be careful how you act because your kids are watching. They see everything you do. Your kids will know when you say one thing but do another. You need to be living out your faith instead of just telling your kids how to act. They can sniff out hypocrisy. Do you want your kids to follow your example of hypocrisy, or do you want your kids to follow your example of genuine faith and living for Jesus?

John 1:29-42

October 31, 2024 • Pastor Mark Kirk • John 1:29–42

Do you know what the most significant event in history is? It’s not the discovery of America or the invention of the iPhone. It’s Jesus’ death on the cross. As Pastor Mark teaches in today’s message, Jesus’ death had cosmic importance. It changed the course of history and impacted everyone who lived and ever will live. Until Jesus’ death, there was no way to get rid of the problem of sin. Animal sacrifices were only a temporary covering for sins. But Jesus died once and for all sins - past, present, and future sins. When you accept Jesus as your Savior, there’s nothing you have to do to earn salvation. Jesus already did everything for you!

John 1:19-28, Malachi 4:5

October 30, 2024 • Pastor Mark Kirk • John 1:19–28, Malachi 4:5

It’s scary sharing the Gospel, isn’t it? Even in America, where we have freedom of speech and religion, things can get very uncomfortable and even downright hostile when we share the truth about Jesus. The Gospel is offensive to people because it goes against their pride, self-righteousness, and self-sufficiency. Today, Pastor Mark encourages you to be mentally prepared to share your faith with others. You will be rejected, criticized, and mocked, just like the prophets, the disciples, and even Jesus. But stand firm in your faith, and ask the Holy Spirit to give you the boldness to share the message of salvation with those around you!

John 1:19-28

October 29, 2024 • Pastor Mark Kirk • John 1:19–28

Have you shared your faith with a non-believer? Have you told someone about what Jesus has done for you? You might think that you don’t have a testimony that’s worth sharing, but you’ve got a message that’s important for others to hear! In today’s message, Pastor Mark tells you that you have a message of eternal hope! Just as John the Baptist was a voice in the wilderness to prepare people to accept Jesus, you are also a voice in the wilderness of America. More and more people are leaving the church or have never even heard the Gospel. Ask God for the courage and opportunity to share Jesus with those who need the saving truth!
