2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5

Part 1 of 2

October 11, 2024 • Pastor Mark Kirk • 2 Thessalonians 2:13—3:5

When we think about the storm of affliction that prophecy says will come, it’s easy to be afraid, isn’t it? It’s probably good to take those prophecies seriously enough that we prepare ourselves, but we don’t have to be afraid. God is with us now and God will be with us in every trial that may come our way. In his message today, Pastor Mark will remind you that you can trust in God to take care of you. You may experience the “headwinds” of the storm to come, but you won’t be here for the tribulation. If you believe in God and have put your faith in Jesus, He will take you home to be with Him before the worst comes.

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!
