In part two of our From This Day Forward series, we dive into the powerful principle of “Fighting Fair.” Whether you're married, dating, or navigating other important relationships, this message offers biblical wisdom and real-world practicality for handling conflict with grace. Discover how to approach disagreements with empathy, seek peace over victory, and grow stronger together—because healthy couples don't avoid conflict, they learn to handle it God's way.
In Part 3 of The Blood Still Speaks, we explore four powerful ways the blood of Jesus is still speaking today. From interceding for sinners to declaring our freedom from darkness, this message dives deep into Hebrews 12 and unpacks how Christ's sacrifice transforms our identity, our mission, and our victory. Whether you're burdened by shame, searching for peace, or simply needing a reminder of God's love—this is a message you don't want to miss.
In this powerful kickoff to our new series, we dive into one of Christianity's most misunderstood foundations: the blood of Jesus. Why is it central to our faith? What does it really mean when we sing about the blood? Starting in Genesis and ending in Gethsemane, we explore the weight of sin, the necessity of justice, and the unmatched love of God that chose to redeem us—not because we're awesome, but because He is.Whether you've been in church your whole life or you're just curious, this message will challenge how you view sin, sacrifice, and the Savior.
In Part 2 of this series, we explore the connection between the Day of Atonement in Leviticus and the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Through the lens of Hebrews, we discover how Jesus became our Great High Priest—sinless, perfect, and willing to shed His blood once for all. This message reminds us that while the Old Covenant covered sin temporarily, Jesus' blood removes it eternally. We are redeemed, accepted, and victorious because the blood still speaks.

This week, we dive into one of the most misunderstood and powerful stories in the Bible—Bathsheba. Her story is one of heartbreak, abuse of power, deep loss, and ultimately, redemption.

If you've ever felt stuck in your past or disqualified by your story, this message is for you. God is a Redeemer—and He's not finished with you yet.
When the Word of God was forgotten, one bold woman stepped up. In this episode, we dive into the story of Huldah—a prophetess who spoke truth to power and helped spark revival. Her courage challenges us to reclaim the Bible as our foundation in a world that's drifting from it.
In this sermon, we explore the profound story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, beyond the familiar Christmas narrative. We delve into her journey of surrender, as she faced the life-altering message from the angel Gabriel, challenging her dreams and plans. Together, we reflect on the concept of surrendering our own wills to God's greater purpose, recognizing that true fulfillment comes not from pursuing our own ambitions, but from aligning ourselves with His divine plan. As we examine our own lives, we are encouraged to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly, acknowledging that His ways are higher and more fulfilling than our own. Through Mary's example, we are reminded that living a surrendered life is the path to true satisfaction and purpose.

In this sermon, we journey alongside Abraham as he faces the ultimate test of faith on Mount Moriah, where God asks him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Together, we explore the profound lessons of trust and obedience that emerge when we are called to step beyond our understanding and into the realm of faith. As we delve into the parallels between Isaac's near-sacrifice and Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross, we are reminded of God's unwavering provision and love. Through Abraham's story, we learn that even in our most challenging tests, we can choose to trust in God's character and promises, knowing that He is faithful to provide and fulfill His word.
In this week's sermon, we journey alongside Abraham and Sarah, witnessing their repeated struggles and the deep-seated fears that lead them into familiar mistakes. As we reflect on their story, we recognize our own tendencies to fall into spiritual ruts and unhealthy patterns. Yet we are reminded that God remains the true hero, intervening with grace and truth to rescue and restore. We are encouraged that despite our flaws and failures, God's faithfulness never wavers. As we wrestle with our imperfections, we find hope in the transformative power of Jesus, who is the hero of every story, including ours. Together, we are called to walk in His light, embracing His truth and freedom, and trusting in His mercy to guide us through our struggles.
In this week's sermon, we find ourselves alongside Abraham as he welcomes unexpected visitors—God and two angels. God reaffirms His covenant with both Abraham and Sarah, reminding us that God doesn't just call a man or a woman, he calls families. As we witness Abraham's heartfelt dialogue with God concerning Sodom, we are reminded of the transformative power of prayer and our own potential to cultivate a friendship with God Almighty. We are encouraged to bring our personal struggles and the needs of others before God, trusting in His wisdom and grace to guide us.
In this episode we welcome not one but two guests and ask them to talk about their long-time friend and mentor Dave Marsh. Daniel Wolff and Danny Alexander co-edited 2023's Marsh anthology Kick Out the Jams: on the eve of his 75th birthday they reflect on his powerful writing, his impassioned politics and his career from Creem and Rolling Stone to the Rock & Roll (subsequently Rock & Rap) Confidential newsletter he launched in 1983. An audio clip of Dave being interviewed by Daniel for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame takes us back to the former's championing of his Detroit contemporaries the MC5 and the Stooges. Meanwhile pieces about Creem itself and about his friend and frequent biographical subject Bruce Springsteen prompt our guests' amused thoughts on Dave's trenchant opinions and general combativeness. A 1990 Vox piece about 'The Star-Spangled Banner' leads us to clips from a 1996 audio interview with one of Marsh's many Black music heroes: the sainted Curtis Mayfield. On the 60th anniversary of the Impressions' 'People Get Ready', we talk about the Chicago soul star's songs, politics, guitar-playing — and the sheer wisdom and serenity of the man. (News of the death of Mayfield's old friend and fellow Impression Jerry Butler only reached us the day after this episode was recorded.) After we've paid our respects to Jam drummer Rick Buckler, Jasper quotes from recently-added library interviews with Lil' Kim (1997) and Hipgnosis boss Merck Mercuriadis (2021). Many thanks to special guests Daniel Wolff and Danny Alexander. Kick Out the Jams: Jibes, Barbs, Tributes and Rallying Cries from 35 years of Music Writing by Dave Marsh is published by Simon & Schuster and available now from all good bookshops. Pieces discussed: Creem Reflects Detroit Rock 'n' Roll, Barry Kramer 1943–1981, Sour Creem, Bruce Springsteen: Shouldn't He Be Famous?, The Incredible Story of Iggy & the Stooges, 'The Star Spangled Banner', Curtis Mayfield audio, Rick Buckler, Lil' Kim and Merck Mercuriadis.
In this week's sermon, we journey through Genesis 17, exploring the profound relationship between Abraham and God. Abraham experienced a 13-year silence that mirrors the "dry seasons" we sometimes face in our own spiritual lives. These times are opportunities for God to deepen our faith beyond fleeting emotions. As we witness God reaffirming His covenant with Abraham, changing his name to signify a new identity and purpose, we are reminded that God often calls us to see ourselves as He sees us.

In this sermon, we journey through the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar in Genesis 16, learning the profound lesson of trusting in God's promises rather than succumbing to impatience and crafting our own plans. Waiting on God is not a passive act but a powerful spiritual discipline that allows God to work in our lives in ways we may not immediately understand.
Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges or tempted to settle for less than God's promises? Join us as we explore the story of Abraham in Genesis 15. At 85 and childless, Abraham faced doubt, yet God offered him a powerful promise, symbolized by the stars, reminding him of the blessings to come. This promise extends to us: believing in God unlocks a greater purpose. Discover how faith can transform your perspective and lead you to embrace your "made for more" moments.
Before we get too deep into the calendar year, we wanted to take some time to sit down with Synchrony Financial to help set the stage for 2025. Dave Marsh, general manager for the brand, dives into some of the more important economic indicators as well as the programs and services retailers should tap into to be successful in the new year.
THE HEART OF ROCK ‘N' ROLL—There's a saying about the Velvet Underground's first album: it didn't sell a lot of copies but everyone who bought it went on to form a band. Not everyone who read Creem went on to form a band, but almost everyone who ever wrote about rock music in a significant way has a connection to Creem. Founded in Detroit in 1969 by Barry Kramer, Creem was a finger in the eye to the more established Rolling Stone. Creem called itself “America's Only Rock ‘n' Roll Magazine” and its cheeky irreverence matched its devotion to its infamous street cred. Punk, new wave, heavy metal, alternative, indie were all championed at Creem.Writers and editors who worked for Creem read like a who's who of industry legends: Lester Bangs. Dave Marsh. Robert Christgau. Greil Marcus. Patti Smith. Cameron Crowe. Jann Uhelszki. Penny Valentine. And on and on and on.The magazine stopped publishing in 1989 a few years after Barry's death. A documentary about Creem's heyday in 2020 helped lead to a resurrected media brand, founded by JJ Kramer, Barry's son, and launched in 2022. The copy on the first issue's cover: “Rock is Dead. So is Print.”Totally typical Creem-assed fuckery. And still totally rock n roll, man. Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!) is a production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025
Genesis 14 highlights Abraham's growth in faith, courage, and generosity. Abraham evolves from a fearful man who once compromised his wife's safety to a courageous leader who rescues his nephew Lot from captivity. In part 3 of this series, we read about Abraham's deepening relationship with God, which empowers him to act with bravery and generosity, and how we can grow in those same areas.
In this sermon, we explore the life of Abraham, recognizing that like him, we often begin our spiritual journey with stumbles and uncertainties. We see how God's grace intervenes in our failures, restoring us and calling us back to our first love. As we learn from Abraham's need to set healthy boundaries with Lot, we understand the importance of doing the same in our relationships to foster peace and growth. Despite our shortcomings, we are reminded that God continually chooses us, reaffirming His promises and love. We are encouraged to embrace new seasons of growth by returning to the practices that once ignited our passion for God, trusting in His unwavering grace and mercy.
Label: Columbia 43678Year: 1966Condition: MLast Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale.This is one of this group's finest singles. It's not only got the familiar Garage-style hit on the A side, but you'll find a neat, catchy, Beatlesque rocker on the flip. Great package! I'm glad to see Dave Marsh includes it in his list, because if it weren't there it would definitely get 2 stars from me! :-) I hope you enjoy the mp3 snippet as much as I do. Speaking of which, fans of short songs take note: "There She Goes" has a clock time of only 1:45! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve, which has no notable flaws. This vinyl pressing has Mint labels and pristine sound.
Pastor Dave concludes this series on Philippians by exploring the theme of generosity, highlighting its power in both spiritual and practical terms. We examine Paul's experience in prison and the support he received from the Philippian Church, demonstrating that true generosity often comes from people in need rather than those who are prosperous. God uses people to meet needs and that generosity fosters deeper relationships, combats selfishness, and enriches lives.
Pastor Dave discusses the often-misunderstood verse Philippians 4:13, emphasizing its true context of contentment amidst challenging circumstances, as experienced by Paul in prison. Genuine contentment cannot be found in material wealth or possessions, but rather in a relationship with God. Pastor Dave encourages us in this message to reflect on our journey towards contentment and to cultivate gratitude for our blessings, especially in light of the upcoming holiday season.
Pastor Dave emphasizes the importance of addressing personal conflict as a barrier to experiencing God's peace, referencing Philippians 4:6-7. He reveals how Paul publicly called out two women, Euodia and Syntyche, to encourage reconciliation and highlights that conflict is a normal part of relationships. This message outlines four conflict resolution styles—prize fighters, pretenders, pacifiers, and peacemakers—advocating for a peacemaker approach to restore love and understanding. Ultimately, we're encouraged to utilize prayer, intentional conversations, and a positive thought life to cultivate lasting peace in our relationships.
Label: Sire 28591Year: 1986Condition: MLast Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original (special for the colored vinyl release) picture sleeve. Dave Marsh was right to give this great Madonna hit such a high ranking in his list of the 1001 greatest singles every made... it's a perfect pop confection and a gorgeous blend of 1980's dance rock and 1960's girl group rock. This is a copy of the limited edition pressing on clear blue vinyl. The picture sleeve is also distinguished from retail copies by having "Limited Edition Blue Vinyl Pressing" printed on the left-hand side of the front cover (see scan).
Label: Atco 7079Year: 1977Condition: M-Last Price: $18.00. Not currently available for sale.Dave Marsh was right-on when pinning this rock classic at #159 in his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. As he says in explaining his choice, ["Solsbury Hill" is] Rock's greatest resignation speech... one of the most nakedly emotional records anyone's created in the past [forty] years. What's perhaps just as extraordinary is that... "Solsbury Hill" encapsulates the next decade or so of Peter Gabriel's career. This is a record that makes bold promises and if its power has grown over the years (and it started out powerful enough), it's not only because it offers such strong inspiration whenever you need to summon the courage to make a tough move yourself. It's because Gabriel has lent it further resonance with every move he's made. Couldn't have said it better myself! ;-) By the way, this 45 version is specially edited from a longer (4:20) album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.
THE HEART OF ROCK 'N' ROLL IS STILL BEATING—There's a saying about the Velvet Underground's first album: it didn't sell a lot of copies but everyone who bought it went on to form a band. Not everyone who read Creem went on to form a band, but almost everyone who ever wrote about rock music in a significant way has a connection to Creem.

Creem called itself “America's Only Rock ‘n' Roll Magazine” and its cheeky irreverence matched its devotion to its infamous street cred.

We continue this study of Philippians by reflecting on Paul's journey and transformation. Despite Paul's dark past as a persecutor of Christians, God chose him for a significant purpose, demonstrating that no one is disqualified from God's calling due to their history. We're encouraged to focus on our future in Christ rather than dwelling on past mistakes, because we are all new creations in Him. Past struggles can be reminders of resilience rather than obstacles.
In this sermon, Pastor Dave draws from Philippians 2:12-15 to emphasize the importance of allowing the inner work of salvation to manifest outwardly in our lives. The Apostle Paul encourages believers to let the grace within us shine outwardly, transforming our lives and impacting a world in need of light. We also discuss the importance of obedience, the pitfalls of complaining, and the power of a transformed life as a testimony to others.
Label: Columbia SP 10287Year: 1970Condition: M-Price: $75.00This incredible, rare 4-song EP not only has a gorgeous psychedelic picture sleeve, but also 4 of the group's best, less-played nuggets--two of which are among the four Byrds tracks on Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made! The first song was previously unreleased and is itself a Byrds classic of the first order. It appeared on an LP about the same time as this promo EP, entitled "Untitled/Unissued". The four songs are:Lover of the Bayou (McGuinn-Levy)So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star (McGuinn-Hillman)Goin' Back (G. Goffin-C. King)Chimes of Freedom (B. Dylan)The record was issued for Scholastic Book Services in conjunction with a book about the Byrds issued by Scholastic Books. Note that the EP label has a custom imprint of the Byrds "logo". A very cool collectable indeed!
Label: MGM 13721Year: 1967Condition: M-Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.Credited to "Eric Burdon & The Animals," this is the group's finest foray into psychedelic rock. Every time I hear the opening guitar growl, it's obvious where Black Sabbath got the inspiration for the similar opening growl to "Iron Man." Now in the Classic 45's jukebox, cause it's one of those nuggets that just doesn't get played often enough. The big mystery to me is why Dave Marsh left it off his list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of Rock'n'Soul. It would definitely be on my list (if I ever make one!) For one thing, this is a single that was not included on any contemporary Animals album ? this was a previously unreleased, non-LP single. The two sides eventually got added to an Animals compilation CD, but you won't find them anywhere on vinyl (to my knowledge) except on this little 45 record. (And may I say how incredible the audio is? Stunning doesn't come close!) Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. The vinyl has some notable scuffs, particularly on the B side, grading a strong EX. Miraculously, the audio comes through clean Near Mint with just a touch of surface noise here and there. (This scan is a representative image from our archives--the copy for sale has NO drillhole)
This sermon explores the theme of "Unity Through Humility," as we see in Philippians 2:1-11. True peace and harmony within the Church are cultivated through a humble heart and Pastor Dave contrasts the world's pride with the Kingdom of God, where humility is a treasured virtue. The ultimate example of humility—Jesus Christ—laid down His rights and privileges for the sake of others, showcasing the transformative power of His sacrificial love.
Label: Brunswick 55239Year: 1963Condition: MLast Price: $30.00. Not currently available for sale.Here's a beautiful Mint copy of this essential early Soul classic, which Dave Marsh pegs at #758 in his Top 1,001 Singles list. The B side, by the way, is a non-album cut. Note: This 45 comes in a vintage Brunswick Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
Instead of despairing while imprisoned, Paul views his situation as an opportunity to further the gospel and expresses a profound peace with the potential outcomes of his imprisonment, whether it's freedom or death. Living with an eternal perspective, where "to live is Christ and to die is gain," can transform your life with hope and purpose. This message focuses on surrender, faith, and the promise of resurrection.
Label: Atlantic 2605Year: 1969Condition: M-Price: $8.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole. Did Clarence Carter make ANY bad singles? Well, the closest he came may have been 'Patches,' which is the one most folks know since it was his biggest hit. But even 'Patches' has its charms. The rest are masterpieces of soul, like this one. By the way, it's the Deep Soul flip of this 45 that made Dave Marsh's list all the way up at #61... not that the Funky uptempo A side is unworthy of your affection! Have a listen to the mp3 snippet to see what I mean. Note: These copies may have some very light storage wear, which is why the Vinyl is graded Near Mint. The drillhole may appear at a different spot than shown in the scan.
Label: Mercury 72898Year: 1969Condition: M-Price: $15.00This is far from an obscure soul nugget (which I usually reserve the Classic 45s jukebox for), but I got serious goosebumps when playing it today and realized I just don't hear it often enough! Dave Marsh has it pegged just right, slipping it in the top 100 of his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul — a triumph for both the singer and for the writer/producers and their nascent Philly Soul style. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve.

In 1985, a group of musicians came together to raise awareness about the oppressive, racist government in South Africa. Organized by Steven Van Zandt, the group calling themselves Artists United Against Apartheid was, according to music critic Dave Marsh, “the most diverse line up of popular musicians ever assembled for a single session” and the list is pretty amazing.” Just some of the names include Bono, George Clinton, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Kurtis Blow, Miles Davis, Ringo Star, David Ruffin, Joey Ramone, Run DMC, Keith Richard, Bruce Springsteen, Herbie Hancock, Bonnie Raitt, that dude from Midnight Oil, AND the Fat Boys. They jointly refused to ever play at Sun City, a luxury resort in South Africa that symbolized the racial segregation of South Africa, and they released a protest album called Sun City to raise awareness.

Many years ago, I was a young man in my 20s and working for a man with a very strong personality. I didn't grow up with a father in the home so this man was really the first male authority figure in my life. As I worked with him, I didn't realize that his strong personality coupled with my need for approval became the perfect recipe for something the Bible calls the fear of man. As a few years passed, I realized something was wrong…
This week, we continue our study on the fear of man.
I'm not sure how many of us realize just how impacted our lives are by this thing called, “the fear of man.” We recognize its symptoms, but we often don't understand the source of those symptoms. The fear of man is when the approval of people in your life becomes more important to you than the approval of God. In this message, we look at the life of Elijah and how even he had to overcome the fear of man.
The Church must speak up, disciple up, and train up a generation to navigate through cultural issues with truth and love. How do we do that? We do that through a partnership between the Church and the home. || Pastor Dave Marsh

In this podcast episode, Mark interviews Daniel Wolff, a Grammy-nominated author, about his work in music history and his collaboration with Dave Marsh on the book "Kick Out The Jams." (Daniel was nominated for a Grammy for his liner notes for the box set of Sam Cooke's gospel recordings.)Mark and Daniel discuss the evolution of music criticism, the role of protest songs, and the importance of collaboration in the creative process.Wolff also offers advice for aspiring creators, emphasizing the need to not take oneself too seriously and to focus on getting the work out into the world.Specific topics include:- Daniel's work with Dave Marsh and their new book "Kick Out The Jams"- The organization and content of the book- The role of music in social issues and protest- The importance of collaboration in creativity- Advice for aspiring creators: don't take yourself too seriously and get your work out there1. "I think protest music is going all the time now. I mean, Kendrick Lamar, the hip hop artist, I think writes protest music and or pop music and or hip hop, however you want to define it. But it's music that says, wait a second, here's the world I'm living in. Isn't the way I want it. How do I talk about this?"2. "I think for me, the key to collaboration is to kind of give up authorship in a way and say, okay, well we'll change this because it doesn't work here, even though I think that's the best part of the writing. It's not working with you. And so we'll go on. I don't think it's much different from a marriage or a friendship. You're trying to figure out how to get along."3. "[Dave] always loved contemporary music. He still loves contemporary music. It's not like, oh, it never got any better than fill in the blank, whoever your favorite is. It was as you point out him going, well, okay, but we've got this ideal of what it ought to be, which was a communal ideal that we were all in it together and it was more democratic than it was capitalistic, if you will."The advice given by Daniel is to not take yourself too seriously and not get too caught up in the importance of hitting the send button or publishing your work. He emphasizes that there will always be more opportunities to create and that it's important to avoid self-importance. Collaboration is also encouraged as it can help to diminish feelings of self-importance and bring a fresh perspective to your work. Overall, the advice is to have fun with your creativity and not put too much pressure on yourself.Co-editor of Kick Out the Jams, a selection of essays by Dave Marsh that cover 35 years of music writing.
