The Ark Church Audio Podcast

This Sunday, we kicked off a brand new series through the book of Ephesians. A powerful letter written by Paul that reminds us of our identity, purpose, and God's unstoppable love.Even from a prison cell, Paul was filled with confidence. Not because of his circumstances, but because he knew who he belonged to.“When you know the purpose of God on your life, it doesn't matter what your circumstances look like.”Ephesians reminds us:✨ We are chosen by God before the foundation of the world.✨ We are adopted into His family by love and grace.✨ We are sealed with the Holy Spirit—a promise that we belong.✨ We are called to live in the light, filled with hope and purpose.No matter your past, God has always wanted you in His family. From the beginning, His desire was to pour out grace, mercy, and kindness on those who say yes to Him.Join us each next week as we continue to dive into the book of Ephesians and discover how the truth of God's Word transforms how we live.

Happy Easter from The Ark Church! Today we celebrate the truth that because Jesus is alive, hope is alive.Pastor John walks us through the Easter story in Luke 24, reminding us that even when dreams feel dead and faith feels distant, the resurrection changes everything.Jesus didn't just defeat death—He offers new life, healing, forgiveness, and a future to everyone who believes.As Pastor John said, “If the tomb is empty, anything is possible.”No matter where you've been or what you're walking through:✨ God hasn't forgotten you.✨ His grace is still reaching for you.✨ And He's inviting you to come home to the life you were created for.⸻

“There are things in life you can't measure—but they matter more than you think.”In Week 3 of our Locker Room Lessons series, Pastor John reminds us that the things that truly set us apart—hunger, humility, and hustle—can't be measured on a stat sheet.Looking at 1 Samuel 16 and the story of David, we're reminded that while people focus on the outward, “God looks at the heart.” Even when no one else sees it, God does.

In this powerful message from Pastor John, we continue our Locker Room Lessons series by talking about “Bounce Back Faith”—the kind of faith that refuses to let failure, loss, or pressure have the final word.Drawing from Proverbs 24:16 and the story of David at Ziklag, we're reminded that even the righteous fall… but they rise again.Whether you've been knocked down by life, dealing with discouragement, or carrying the weight of your past, this message is a reminder that God's not done with you.Featuring a throwback moment from Tim Tebow's viral “promise speech,” Pastor John shows us that resilience starts with a decision: “This isn't going to define me.”If you've been feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure of what's next—this is for you.It's not over. You're not disqualified. You can rise again.
