In this message, Pastor Marc Williamson preaches on the blessedness of forgiveness and the restoring grace of God. David looks back on a season of hidden sin and spiritual heaviness, then celebrates the mercy of the Lord who forgave, covered, and did not impute his sin.

This psalm reminds believers that repentance is not the road to misery—it is the doorway to spiritual joy. When sin is confessed before God, the burden of guilt is lifted, fellowship is restored, and the repentant heart can rejoice in the Lord.

This passage teaches us that Christians may feel like strangers in this world, but they are not forgotten by God. Through Christ, believers have a living hope, an eternal inheritance reserved in heaven, and the keeping power of God to sustain them through every trial.

When life hurts, God’s Word points us to the risen Saviour, whose resurrection gives His people real comfort, lasting assurance, and hope that will never fade.

This sermon explores the Old Testament concept of atonement, the purpose of the sacrificial system, and how it pointed forward to the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It also highlights the difference between false repentance and true godly sorrow that leads to restoration and renewed worship.

Believers are reminded that repentance is more than words or outward actions—it is a heart broken over sin and humbled before a holy GOD.

In this message, Pastor Marc Williamson explains how Jesus drew near to these struggling disciples, patiently exposed the root of their unbelief, and opened the Scriptures to reveal Himself throughout the Old Testament. As Christ expounded the Word of GOD, their hearts began to burn with renewed faith and hope.

This sermon challenges believers to trust the promises of Scripture over personal expectations and reminds us that Jesus still walks with His people today—even in seasons of discouragement, disappointment, and uncertainty.

Job experienced devastating trials, yet his faith was not swept away. Though he did not understand everything God was doing, he held to foundational truths that remained unchanged: God is sovereign, God is good, God has a purpose, and God is the living Redeemer who gives resurrection hope.

This sermon encourages believers to cling by faith to the rooted truths of God’s character when the storms of life feel overwhelming.

Motherhood is a high calling from God and plays a vital role in the home, the family, and society. This sermon explains that honoring mothers is not merely a tradition or suggestion, but a commandment from the Lord.

Pastor Marc also highlights the character of honorable mothers: a saved life, sacrificial love, silent labor, and steadfast loyalty. This message encourages mothers to reflect God’s love and faithfulness in the home while reminding children of all ages that honoring father and mother is part of honoring God.

After reviewing the blessings of being chosen, adopted, and accepted in the Beloved, this message focuses on Ephesians 1:7: redemption through Christ’s blood and the forgiveness of sins.

Through Jesus Christ, believers have been purchased, delivered, and set free from the slavery of sin. Because of His shed blood, our sins have been forgiven, removed, and carried away. These blessings are not earned by our merit, but given according to the riches of God’s grace.

Paul declares that God “hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” The question for the believer is not whether God has blessed us, but whether we understand and live in the reality of what we already have in Jesus Christ.

This sermon highlights three blessings from the opening of Ephesians 1: believers are chosen in Christ, adopted as children, and accepted in the Beloved. These truths remind us that salvation begins with God, that believers have full standing in His family, and that we are received by God through our union with His beloved Son.

Paul teaches that God is “the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.” This comfort is more than human sympathy. It is the life-giving, strengthening power of the God “which raiseth the dead.”

Through Paul’s severe trial in Asia, God brought him to the end of self-reliance and taught him to trust fully in the Lord. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus Christ from the grave is available to sustain and deliver believers in times of trouble, suffering, weakness, and despair.

This message reminds us that God does not waste our pain. He comforts His people so that they may, in turn, comfort others with the same comfort they have received from Him.

First, Paul prays that believers would know the hope of God’s calling. Salvation is not an isolated event but part of God’s eternal plan in Christ, established before the world began and secured through the risen Lord. This hope includes eternal life, future glory, reward, heaven, Christ’s kingdom, and everlasting security.

Second, believers need to understand the exceeding greatness of God’s power toward those who believe. The same power that raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to heavenly places is now at work in the lives of God’s people. This power enables believers to persevere, serve, witness, endure suffering, and live faithfully for Christ.

Third, Paul prays that believers would grasp the exalted position of the risen Christ. All things are under His feet, and He is head over all things to the church. Because Christ reigns over every power, circumstance, and enemy, the believer has no reason to fear. Christ’s authority, sufficiency, and fullness belong to His body, the church.

This message calls believers to stop living spiritually poor and defeated when such riches, hope, and power are already theirs in Christ. Jesus Christ is truly all in all.

In this message, Pastor Marc focuses on Paul’s prayer for believers to have the eyes of their understanding enlightened. Paul rejoiced over their faith in the Lord Jesus and their love for all the saints, but he also prayed that they would grow deeper in their full knowledge of Christ and understand all that they possessed in Him.

This sermon highlights three major realities believers need to grasp: the hope of God’s calling, the exceeding greatness of His power toward those who believe, and the exalted position of the risen Christ over all things. As these truths become real to the heart, they produce holiness, faithfulness, confidence, perseverance, and proper spiritual priorities.

Christ is not a small part of the Christian life. He is the believer’s sufficiency, strength, inheritance, hope, and power. He is truly our all in all.

This sermon highlights the beauty and weight of Christ’s forgiveness. Jesus fulfilled prophecy, practiced what He had taught, and revealed that forgiveness was at the very heart of His mission in coming to this world. The cross is not only where forgiveness was purchased, but also where forgiveness is most clearly displayed.

This message also presses the truth into the believer’s daily life. Those who have been forgiven by God through Christ are commanded to forgive others in the same spirit of kindness, compassion, and grace. When believers refuse to forgive, that unforgiveness will surface in bitterness, anger, wrath, clamor, evil speaking, and malice.

This is a needed message for anyone struggling with hurt, offense, betrayal, or resentment. By looking again to Christ at Calvary, we are reminded of both the forgiveness we have received and the forgiveness we are called to extend.

This sermon emphasizes that true repentance is not a shallow response or mere words of regret. It is a God-worked turning of the heart back to the Lord. God desires truth in the inward parts, and where there is real repentance, there will be a longing for cleansing, a clean heart, a right spirit, and restored fellowship with Him.

Pastor Marc also shows the painful reality of sin in the believer’s life. Sin disrupts communion with God, robs the heart of joy, and brings misery to the soul. But repentance brings the believer back into the presence of the Lord, where the joy of salvation is restored.

This message is both a warning against superficial repentance and an encouragement to every believer that God is able to cleanse, renew, and restore.

Hebrews 6 presents both a warning and a promise. Those who hear the Gospel yet delay or reject Christ are in danger of drifting away without hope. But those who respond in true saving faith are given full assurance—an unshakable hope secured by God’s promise and oath.

This sermon highlights:

The urgency of responding to the Gospel by faith

The evidence of genuine salvation

The certainty of God’s promises

The believer’s eternal security in Christ

Jesus Christ has entered into the Holy of Holies as our High Priest and Forerunner. Because He is there, our hope is there. Through faith, every believer is eternally anchored in Him—held secure through every storm of life and guaranteed safe arrival into God’s presence.

Whether you are seeking assurance or need to place your faith in Christ, this message points you to the only true hope—Jesus Christ, our Anchor.

This sermon highlights the danger of a false profession and calls for honest self-examination. It reveals key warning signs seen in Judas’ life, including a deceptive profession, a critical spirit toward others, misplaced love, and a gradual drift away from Christ.

Through this passage, we are reminded that outward activity and association with Christ are not enough—true salvation is marked by inward transformation, a love for Christ, and a life changed by the power of God.

This sermon highlights the chastisement of the Roman scourge, the scornful coronation of Christ, and the saving purpose of His crucifixion. It also points to the deeper meaning of His suffering: He bore the curse, carried our sin, endured rejection, and drank the bitter cup of divine wrath so that we might have peace with God.

His suffering was not accidental. It was redemptive. His suffering was the means of our salvation.

Though there was no struggle at His arrest or crucifixion, there was a great internal battle in the garden. In this sacred moment, Christ prayed three times, submitting His will fully to the Father: “Not as I will, but as thou wilt.”

This message highlights the depth of Christ’s suffering, the meaning of the cup in Scripture, and the victory He secured through prayer. Because Jesus drank the bitter cup of judgment, we are offered the blessed cup of redemption through His blood.

Corinth was a wealthy and influential city filled with paganism and immorality, yet God used Paul’s faithful preaching to establish a church there. Through the Gospel, lives were transformed—including Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, and many others who believed and were baptized.

Though Paul faced opposition and hardship, the Lord encouraged him with a powerful promise: God had many people in that city who would come to faith in Christ.

This message reminds believers that while missions can be difficult, the eternal results make the sacrifice worthwhile. When the Gospel is preached faithfully, God changes lives and builds His church.

After Lydia’s salvation in Philippi, the darkness immediately pushed back. A demon-possessed girl confronted Paul and Silas, false accusations were made against them, and they were beaten and thrown into prison.

Yet even in the darkest moment, Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God. In response, God sent a miraculous earthquake that shook the prison and demonstrated His power.

This passage reminds believers that the darkness of the world cannot overcome the light of the Gospel. Wherever the message of Christ is sent through missions, lives are changed and the light of salvation shines into the darkest places.

John 1:5 (KJV)

“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

After the Holy Spirit closed several doors for Paul’s ministry, God gave him a vision of a man from Macedonia pleading, “Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” This call led to the Gospel reaching a new continent and to the salvation of Lydia, the first recorded convert in Europe.

This message reminds believers that missions requires the participation of every Christian. Some are called to go, while others are called to give, but all are called to help carry the Gospel to those who have never heard.

As the Gospel spread from Macedonia into Europe and eventually to America, this message challenges believers today to answer the same call and take part in reaching the world for Christ.

Acts 16:9 (KJV)

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.”

This message shows that true repentance is marked by a deep awareness of sin, humility before God, and an earnest appeal for mercy. David does not excuse his sin or minimize it. Instead, he casts himself completely upon the lovingkindness and tender mercies of God.

Pastor Marc also explains the difference between false repentance and genuine repentance, showing that real repentance leads to a sincere cry for forgiveness and a desire to have sin blotted out before God.

This sermon is a strong biblical reminder that repentance is not merely sorrow over consequences, but a Spirit-worked turning to God that seeks mercy, cleansing, and restored fellowship.

Drawing from Jeremiah, Lamentations, Matthew 9, and Romans 9–10, this sermon reminds us that missions does not begin on the other side of the world—it begins right where we are. Before we can have a burden for the nations, we must first have a burden for our own family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and community.

Pastor Carrigan calls believers to let what we see with our eyes affect our hearts, to weep for those who are without Christ, and to pray that God would give us compassion like our Savior had for the multitudes.

This message is a stirring reminder:

We must not only care about the lost abroad, but also the lost at home.

Join us as we pray that God would begin a fresh work in our hearts for the souls closest to us—and from there, let that burden grow to reach the world with the gospel.

Scripture references:

Jeremiah 9:1

Lamentations 3:48–51

Matthew 9:35–38

Romans 9:1–3

Romans 10:1–3

Jesus warned that as His return draws nearer, the world will be characterized by growing hostility, deception, lawlessness, and escalating international conflict. In this message, Pastor Marc focuses on how current global tensions—particularly involving nations like Israel, Russia, Turkey, and Iran—reflect the kinds of geopolitical developments the Bible foretold thousands of years ago.

Looking at passages such as Jeremiah 49 and Ezekiel 38, we are reminded that God is sovereign over the nations and is directing history according to His prophetic plan. While wars and rumors of wars continue to increase, Jesus gave a clear instruction to His followers:

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” – Matthew 24:6 (KJV)

This message challenges believers to remain watchful, grounded in Scripture, and confident in God’s control as the world moves closer to the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

In Part 7 of the Back to The Basics series, Pastor Marc Williamson teaches from Matthew 6:5–15 on the vital subject of prayer. Jesus shows us not only how to pray, but also the attitudes we must forsake and the pattern we must follow if we are to enjoy real fellowship with God.

Prayer is more than a spiritual discipline—it is the barometer of the soul. It reveals our devotion to God, our dependence upon Him, and our true desire for Him. In this message, we are reminded that prayer is not to be hypocritical, mechanical, or reserved only for emergencies. Instead, it is the gracious gift God has given His children so they may commune with their Heavenly Father, seek His will, confess sin, depend on His provision, and rejoice in His glory.

This message explores:

The pretense to forsake in prayer

The pattern to follow in prayer

The seriousness of forgiving others if we want fellowship with God

Why prayer is essential for spiritual strength, victory, guidance, and growth

Jesus teaches us to pray with humility, reverence, submission, repentance, dependence, and praise. If we want a stronger walk with the Lord, a stronger family, and a stronger church, then we must have stronger prayer lives.

In today’s culture, many define God’s love as tolerance without accountability, while others portray it as truth without compassion. But neither extreme reflects the love revealed in Scripture. If we want to understand divine love correctly, we must look to Jesus Christ, the perfect embodiment of God’s love.

In this message from John 8:1–11, Pastor Marc Williamson examines the powerful moment when a woman caught in adultery was brought before Jesus. In this dramatic scene, truth and mercy collide, the Law demands justice, and God’s love is placed under intense examination.

As the accusers stand ready with stones and the guilty sinner stands in shame, Christ reveals what divine love truly looks like. His response exposes hypocrisy, upholds righteousness, extends mercy to the repentant, and ultimately points to the cost of forgiveness that would be paid at the cross.

This message highlights several truths about the love of God:

God’s love is conscious of sin but chooses to love sinners

God’s love is righteous and just, never ignoring truth

God’s love is gracious and merciful to the repentant

God’s love is sacrificial, paying the cost of forgiveness

God’s love is sanctifying, calling sinners to a transformed life

Jesus’ words to the woman still echo today:

“Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” – John 8:11 (KJV)

This passage challenges many modern misconceptions about love and reminds believers that the love of Christ is both holy and compassionate, truthful and merciful, and always transforming.

This message, “A Psalm of Repentance,” explores the true meaning of godly sorrow, the beauty of restoration, and the ongoing role of repentance in the life of a believer.

Repentance is more than remorse. It’s more than a moment. It’s a God-initiated turning of the heart and life that is inseparably linked to saving faith. Yet, repentance is often missing from modern evangelism.

📖 In this message, we explore:

The Explanation of repentance — what it is (and what it’s not)

The Elements of real repentance from Psalm 51

The Experience of repentance — how it begins at salvation and continues throughout the believer’s life

🔁 True repentance leads to salvation, transformation, and restored communion with God.

Most people spend their lives asking, “Who am I?” But identity is not something we achieve—it’s something we receive in Christ. Jesus tells us, “Ye are the salt of the earth… Ye are the light of the world.”

In this message, we’ll explore:

The transformation that happens at salvation

The purpose and power of being salt and light

Why your identity shapes your behavior and mission

The caution Jesus gives against losing our influence

In a decaying and dark world, believers are called to be a preserving and illuminating presence. Are you living out who God has already declared you to be?

Drawing from the account of Lazarus, we are challenged to identify and remove the spiritual obstacles that may be standing between us and the supernatural work of God. What stone in your life is keeping you from experiencing God’s glory? Faith, trust, and obedience are key to seeing His power move.

🚨 Don’t settle for a counterfeit gospel. Discover the Gospel of God that saves and sets free.

In Luke 2:18–20 (KJV), we see three words that capture the response to the glorious news of the Savior’s birth:

1) Wonder — “And all they that heard it wondered…” (Luke 2:18, KJV)

2) Ponder — “But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19, KJV)

3) Praise — “And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God…” (Luke 2:20, KJV)

Our prayer is that this Christmas, the Incarnation won’t feel familiar or routine—but that the gospel will move us again to wonder, ponder, and praise.

Discover the rich truths behind Christ’s ancestry, the humility of His family tree, and the incredible significance of His name: JESUS—“Jehovah Saves.” This message will deepen your understanding of the gospel and rekindle your awe for the King who came to redeem.

In this powerful message, Pastor Marc unpacks what it means that Christ is our Counsellor—One who is competent, conscious, compassionate, committed, and corrective in His counsel. As believers, we are often prone to lean on our own understanding, but the Lord calls us to seek His wisdom through His Word, His Spirit, His providence, and His people.

📖 Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)

“…and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor…”

This sermon reminds us that Christ is not only qualified to rule the world but is also personally available to guide His people. When life becomes uncertain, confusing, or overwhelming—run to Jesus, your Wonderful Counsellor.

The Lord’s Table is not just a ritual. It is a call to remember and give thanks for the most precious gifts we have received:

Christ’s Fellowship — We have been welcomed to the table of the Lord. It is a table of eternal relationship, peace, and closeness with our Savior.

Christ’s Forgiveness — The bread and cup remind us of His broken body and shed blood. We are forgiven and cleansed through His perfect sacrifice.

The Christian Family — Communion is a family meal. We gather as one body to reflect the unity Christ secured by His death.

The Church’s Future — Every time we eat and drink, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. Our hope is sure and our future is glorious.

Come with a heart of thanksgiving as we partake of this sacred table and remember all that Christ has done for us.

From His miraculous birth and sinless life, to His powerful works, unmatched words, sacrificial death, victorious resurrection, and eternal deity—Jesus is truly Wonderful in every way. Pastor Marc walks us through each of these aspects, helping us rediscover the beauty, majesty, and glory of Christ during this Christmas season.

📖 Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)

“…and his name shall be called Wonderful…”

Whether you’re weary, searching, or needing spiritual renewal, this message is a timely reminder that Jesus is the awe our souls long for. When Christ governs your life, He brings wonder to the mundane, joy to the sorrowful, and purpose to the aimless.

In Part 1, The Résumé of the King, we dive into Isaiah 9:6–7, a prophecy written 700 years before the birth of Jesus. Through this passage, we discover God’s divine introduction of His Son—detailing His nature, nativity, and nobility. Jesus is not just a baby in a manger; He is the eternal Son of God, the King of Heaven who took on human flesh to redeem mankind.

Pastor Marc explores the King’s divine nature, His miraculous virgin birth, and His royal credentials as the rightful heir to David’s throne. This message is a reminder to keep Christ at the center of our celebration and to worship the King who came to save.

Why counterfeit faith is dangerous and deceptive

More than just a historical moment, the passing of Sarah invites us into the deeply human—and spiritual—experience of loss, love, and legacy. This sermon reminds us of the grace in godly grief, the hope we have in Christ, and the importance of living and dying by faith.

Just as Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water toward Jesus, Dr. Baldwin reminds us that Christ is still inviting His people to trust Him in dark and dangerous times — not to merely spectate, but to participate.

🗣️ Highlights from the message:

“It’s not just that Jesus walked on water — it’s that He made Peter walk too.”

“If you’re going to do something for God, you can’t wait until the conditions are perfect.”

“We need more believers who don’t just talk about what God can do — but are living proof of what He’s done.”

“Peter got in on a miracle not because he was perfect, but because he asked.”

Dr. Baldwin speaks directly to a generation overwhelmed by fear, distractions, and discouragement — calling them back to a simple, bold, childlike faith in the One who still saves, still rescues, and still calls.

Through this powerful passage, Pastor Marc reminds us that God’s promises are sure—but faith is the key that unlocks them. Don’t let fear, doubt, or adversity keep you from all that God has for you. Step forward in faith and claim His blessings!

🎙️ Sermon Title: “A Man Like Hur”

In this stirring message, Bro. Dixon challenges us to be faithful in the unseen places — just like Hur, who held up the hands of Moses during the battle with Amalek. You may never stand in the spotlight like Moses or fight on the frontlines like Joshua, but if you’ll simply make yourself available, God will use you in mighty ways.

Through heartfelt preaching and biblical truth, this sermon reminds us:

God values availability over ability.

Faithfulness in the background still brings eternal rewards.

True spiritual legacy often comes through quiet obedience, passed from generation to generation — as seen through Hur’s grandson, Bezalel (Exodus 31).

Whether you’re cleaning the church, working security, or praying in your closet, your service matters. It pays to serve God — even if the blessing comes through your children and grandchildren.

🔍 Sermon Highlights

Facing Seasons of Loss

Rizpah’s heartbreak over her sons’ deaths reveals how tragedy often invites apathy — but God calls His people to resist quitting.

Protecting What Remains

Even amid ruin and decay, Rizpah wasn’t focused on what she lost — she stood guard over what was left. That posture fuels hope.

The Call to Rise Again

We live in tumultuous times. Tyler applies this ancient text to our generation, urging us to rise from complacency and protect our families, our churches, our souls.

Standing “As Long As It Takes”

The sermon underscores a spirit of perseverance: not to walk away when things are hard, but to refuse surrender until God acts.

In this powerful opening message, Bro. Billy Sampson preaches from Job 19:23–27, reminding us of the unwavering hope we have in a living, personal Redeemer.

Sermon Title: The Power of a Personal Redeemer

📖 Text: Job 19:23–27

From the depths of suffering, Job declared three powerful truths every believer can claim:

I know my soul has been redeemed

I know my Savior will return

I know myself will be resurrected

Bro. Sampson walks us through the legal and loving implications of our Redeemer, the prophetic hope of Christ’s return, and the glorious promise of the resurrection. You’ll be stirred, encouraged, and reminded that He’s not just any Redeemer—He’s yours.

God’s commands for life after the flood (propagation, provision, and protection of life).

God’s covenant of grace with Noah, his descendants, and all creation—sealed with the rainbow.

Genesis 9:13 – “I do set my bow in the cloud…”

Genesis 9:21 – “And he drank of the wine, and was drunken…”

Many claim Christianity is “not a religion, but a relationship.” While that’s partly true, James reminds us that true saving faith produces pure religion—a faith that transforms the heart, tames the tongue, cares for the needy, and pursues holiness.

In this message, Pastor Marc unpacks:

The pretense of pointless religion – outward rituals without inward change.

The practice of pure religion – compassion, holiness, and Spirit-led obedience.

The precaution of pure religion – staying unspotted from the world.

Is your faith producing the evidence of pure religion? Or is it merely empty ritual? Join us as we examine this vital truth together.

In this message, Pastor Marc unpacks:

The Prohibition Against Favoritism – Why faith in Christ and partiality are incompatible (James 2:1).

The Illustration of Favoritism – Two visitors in church: one honored, the other shamed (James 2:2–3).

The Indictment of Favoritism – How judging by externals exposes an evil heart (James 2:4).

True faith produces impartial love that mirrors the character of Christ—the Lord of glory who receives all who come to Him.

📖 Key Scriptures:

James 2:1 – “Have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ…with respect of persons.”

Romans 2:11 – “For there is no respect of persons with God.”

In this evening’s message, Pastor Marc Williamson examines Cain’s downward spiral — from pride to anger, from rejection to murder — and shows us how unchecked sin destroys lives and legacies. This message calls us to examine our hearts, repent quickly, and trust fully in the sacrifice God has provided through Jesus Christ.

📖 Part 1 of A Journey Through Genesis

Today we begin a new sermon series, “A Journey Through Genesis,” by looking at the first two chapters of the Bible. In this message, Pastor Marc walks us through God’s Divine Design—what it reveals about our Creator, our world, and ourselves.

Discover the foundational truths of creation, the image of God in man, and why your life has eternal value and purpose. Genesis is more than history—it’s the story that explains why we’re here and Who made us.

✝️ Learn how God’s design points to our need for a Savior and His plan to redeem what sin has broken.

In tonight’s message, “Traits of a Champion,” Pastor Marc Williamson draws from 1 Samuel 17 and the story of David and Goliath to reveal how we can overcome spiritual giants and live out the victories God has for us.

💥 Discover how to develop the traits of a spiritual champion:

Respecting God-ordained authority

Staying riveted in focus despite criticism

Refusing to conform to worldly pressure or people-pleasing

Being resolved to conquer with endurance

Remaining fully reliant upon the Lord

🛡️ The battles we face are real — fear, resentment, addiction, apathy, discouragement — but they are not unbeatable. With God’s power, we can take down the giants in our lives.

”…for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” — 1 Samuel 17:47 (KJV)

Whether you’re a mother, a parent, or someone navigating life’s storms, this sermon will remind you that GOD still moves in hearts and homes that are responsive to His Word.

🌟 “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new…” – Revelation 21:5

In this powerful and sobering message, Pastor Marc Williamson walks us through the Judgment Seat of Christ, where every believer will one day stand before Jesus—not to be judged for salvation, but for service.

In today’s powerful message, Pastor Marc delivers one of the most sobering truths in all of Scripture: The Great White Throne Judgment. While many deny it, minimize it, or avoid it, the Bible is clear—there is a final day when every unsaved soul will stand before Jesus Christ, not as Savior, but as Judge.

📜 What will be revealed on that day?

📚 What are the “books” that will be opened?

❌ Why will no one at this judgment escape?

🔥 What is “the second death”?

This sermon confronts the terrifying reality of sin’s final reckoning—but also magnifies the mercy of GOD through Jesus Christ. If you are lost, today is the day of salvation. If you are saved, rejoice that your name is written in the Book of Life—and be moved with urgency to reach others with the Gospel.

⚖️ “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” – Revelation 20:15

Drawing from his personal experiences of grief, trials, and God’s healing grace, Dr. Arthur paints a vivid picture of the sycamine tree—a symbol of bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness—and contrasts it with the healing, restoring power of the Savior.

Pastor Marc explains that evangelism isn’t just about knowledge; it’s about proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a clear purpose. Using scriptures from Acts, Romans, and Corinthians, he delves into the biblical definition of evangelism, illustrating that it is about "bringing, declaring, and sharing the good news" of salvation through Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. He challenges believers to invite a response from those who hear the message—calling people to faith in Christ as Savior.

With powerful examples from Paul’s letters, Pastor Marc emphasizes the motivation for evangelism: the love of Christ, the accountability of the Judgment Seat, and the reality of eternal separation from God for the unsaved. He also reminds us of our responsibility to model a transformed life, urging believers to back up the Gospel message with lives of integrity and holiness.

Key Verse: "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:14, KJV)

Join us for this impactful message on how we can each be partakers in the work of evangelism, sharing the love and truth of God with a world in need.

With deep passion, Pastor Marc explores the “call to prayer” that Paul places before the church, urging us to place supplications, intercessions, and thanksgiving at the forefront of our spiritual lives. He breaks down the types of prayer mentioned in 1 Timothy, reminding us of the privilege and purpose of praying with compassion, empathy, and gratitude. He calls us to pray beyond our immediate circle, for the salvation of others and for peace in our communities.

Pastor Marc also discusses the critical consequences of faithful prayer: it brings about a peaceful society, strengthens believers, and aligns us with God's heart. As he explains, praying for all—including those in authority—transforms our own hearts, making us peacemakers who serve God’s purposes here on earth.

Key Verse: "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men" (1 Timothy 2:1, KJV).

This message explores the struggles that lead to feelings of hopelessness: divine judgment, dislocation, and deception. Pastor Marc highlights how, in times when it seems like the world is drifting further from God, Christians can cling to God’s promise in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you... thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Pastor Marc challenges us to focus not on our past but on God’s future for us.

Pastor Marc guides us through scripture, showing how justification (freedom from sin's penalty), sanctification (growth in holiness), and glorification (perfection in Christ’s likeness) form the complete picture of God’s saving plan. Rooted in passages like Romans 8:29-30 and 1 John 3:2, he reminds us of the certainty and hope we have in Christ's promise to glorify all who believe in Him.

Be encouraged to live in light of this amazing future, embracing God’s call to holiness and faithfulness as we look forward to the day when we will fully reflect His glory.

In this sermon, Pastor Marc breaks down five essential areas of Jesus' prayer for His followers:

Safekeeping – Jesus prays for His disciples' protection in a world filled with challenges.

Joy – Jesus desires His joy to fill and strengthen His people daily.

Unity – Jesus emphasizes the importance of unity among believers, reflecting the unity between Him and the Father.

Sanctification – Jesus prays that we would be set apart by God’s truth, continually growing in holiness.

Service – Jesus sends us into the world as His representatives, called to live out and share the Gospel.

Pastor Marc reminds us that Jesus’ prayer is ongoing; He intercedes daily for each believer, desiring that we walk in joy, unity, and purpose. We hope this message encourages you to embrace the strength and hope found in Christ’s continual prayer for you!

Pastor Gaulden emphasizes three key points from the scripture:

The Call of the Almighty: Despite the prevailing darkness, God called out to Noah, offering a place of rest and salvation.

The Compassion of the Almighty: Noah didn't find grace by his own merit; rather, grace found him. This unmerited favor is available to all who seek God.

The Concern of the Almighty: God's eyes were upon Noah, just as they are upon us today. He cares deeply for each individual, understanding our struggles and offering hope.

Through engaging stories and heartfelt illustrations, Pastor Gaulden encourages listeners to respond to God's invitation—to enter the "ark of safety" before it's too late. He reminds us that no matter how dire the circumstances, God's grace is sufficient, and He desires a personal relationship with each of us.

This message serves as a call to salvation for those who have not yet accepted Christ and a source of encouragement for believers to trust in God's unfailing love and grace.

“Is He King or not? Let’s stop playing both sides and make Him Lord of our lives!”

Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one 

  that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 

To break any point of GOD’s Law is to come under the curse. The curse is GOD’s judgment & the consequence of sin. Because we’ve all sinned, because we’ve all broken GOD’s Law, we are all under its curse. But here’s the good news of redemption:

Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, 

  Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 

They were not going to bow to an idol because their GOD, the Lord GOD whom they served, He alone is the one they worshipped & He has specifically commanded that there be no other gods in His people’s lives & He has also commanded that they bow not to any other image or idol (Exodus 20:3-5). This was a stand of faith based upon the Word of GOD. This was real faith in action. This kind of faith, while it is smiled upon by GOD in heaven, on earth it only angers & aggravates.

         Sadly, in this culture, men & women with such resilient faith & real Biblical convictions are few & far between. Instead, what’s more common in our day are people who claim to have faith & are one way in church on Sunday but change once they leave. Can I tell you something—Nobody is buying into that kind of faith. That kind of faith doesn’t pass the test of genuineness & certainly it doesn’t impact others for Christ. And most importantly, GOD does not reward shallow, inconsistent, frail faith that folds when put to the test. The faith that GOD rewards is that which stands the tests of trials & temptations.

GOD’s purpose for a believer’s life is to both be a witness for Jesus Christ & to grow into Christ’s likeness. We’ve spent a couple messages on the subject of going (taking the Gospel to all the world) & now we will spend a few weeks examining the subject of growing (being conformed into the image of Christ). This morning, I am going to discuss the child of GOD’s responsibility with regard to his own spiritual growth. In the next message, I will discuss the requirement of GOD’s Word for the believer’s growth. And then we will wrap it up with the role of GOD’s Spirit in the process of the believer’s growth.

family. And dads, we need you more than ever to step into that role & be what

GOD has called you to be. If you’re wondering what that role is & what it looks like, the good news is that GOD has not left us without instruction to figure it out.

Mat 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 

Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as 

  a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall 

  remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 

Act 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:

Rev 1:10a I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day…

Assembling on Sunday was fully embraced by the early church, only their assembly lasted a lot longer, & we see this in the NT beginning in Acts.

        Well, tonight, we’re looking at a group photo. It is a snapshot that Matthew gives us of Christ’s crucifixion. And though you & I were not physically there, each one of us is represented in some way by the people surrounding the cross. As I point out the different people groups represented here, I want you to look for yourself in this photo. I assure you that you’re pictured here in one of these people or groups.

        As we begin, first I’d like to remind you that Jesus predicted the cross.
