In this sermon, Pastor Marcus outlines how as we build, we should have grief for the past, strength for the present, and hope for the future.    Digging Deeper Questions:  How does God giving his permission invite you to both give thanks for past faithfulness and also contend with past failures? Are there specific things that come to mind?   Where do you need the strength of God's loving presence to give you courage to act faithfully today?   Does the promise of God's coming kingdom reshape how you see your present work? If so, how?

Pastor Marcus Lane wraps up our sermon series Questions Jesus Asked with a message one Jesus' question Has No One Condemned You? Pastor Marcus breaks down how Jesus teaches, confronts hypocrisy, and extends mercy.    Digging Deeper Questions:  Are there particular behaviors that you notice you are quick to condemn when you see them in others? How might Jesus' response to the woman caught in adultery help you be more gracious toward those behaviors? Where do you most see a “high anthropology” at work in our culture? In the church?

This week, we take a pause in our Devoted series to reflect on the events of the last several weeks. In a season that seems beset by division and darkness, Pastor Marcus encourages us not to grow weary or defeated but to look to our true source of hope. The natural response when faced with suffering and evil is to succumb to a deep spiritual sickness, one that leads us to isolation and quarreling. Marcus challenges us to instead call upon the power of God, to seek his healing and restoration for our brokenness. Through illustrations and wisdom from Mark 9, he reveals how prayer and fasting—not arguing—are our supernatural weapons against spiritual darkness. We invite you and your group to consider taking these bold steps to engage spiritual warfare - Friday fasting and prayer for revival._________________________________Esta semana, hacemos una pausa en nuestra serie Devoted para reflexionar sobre los eventos de las últimas semanas. En una temporada que parece asediada por la división y la oscuridad, el Pastor Marcus nos anima a no cansarnos ni sentirnos derrotados, sino a mirar hacia nuestra verdadera fuente de esperanza. La respuesta natural al enfrentarse al sufrimiento y al mal de rendirse a una profunda enfermedad espiritual, una que nos lleva al aislamiento y a las disputas. Marcus nos desafía a, en cambio, invocar el poder de Dios, a buscar su sanación y restauración por nuestra quebrantamiento. A través de ilustraciones y sabiduría de Marcos 9, revela cómo la oración y el ayuno—no las discusiones—son nuestras armas sobrenaturales contra la oscuridad espiritual. Te invitamos a ti y a tu grupo a considerar dar estos audaces pasos para participar en la guerra espiritual - ayuno y oración el viernes por un avivamiento.

Enfatiza que la verdadera felicidad se encuentra no en nuestros deseos efímeros, sino en esforzarnos por la santidad y una relación genuina con Dios. Al nutrir la santidad, podemos alcanzar una alegría más profunda y duradera que supera la mera felicidad temporal. En esencia, Dios valora nuestra felicidad, pero prioriza nuestro crecimiento espiritual, instándonos a perseguirlo como la fuente última de plenitud.
