A life with Christ is a life that dies daily to Christ! In today's message from Pastor Mark, he explains to you the reality that is the faith journey with Jesus. Sometimes people can think that once you surrender your life to the Lord, everything will be blissful and blessed. There are blessings, but there's also hardship. Pastor Mark desires for you to understand that when Scripture says “No servant is greater than its Master” it's talking about the disciples of Jesus. Jesus endured many trials, and so will you as His disciple. The Bible says, “that in this world you will have trials, but to take heart because Jesus has overcome the world!”

You'll never fully know until you meet with the Lord the impact you had while on this Earth. As you listen to today's message from Pastor Mark, he shares with you the importance of investing and pouring into others' lives. Even the things you don't remember or feel are insignificant, God uses them for His glory. Pastor Mark urges you to be led by the power of the Holy Spirit. Commune every day with the Lord in prayer and watch what He does in your life. He will use you to speak encouragement to others and provide comfort when they're in need. God can use even the smallest of circumstances to provide extraordinary transformation.

Life with Jesus is one that brings about freedom and change. A relationship with God is life changing, and it's something you should be excited to share with those who don't yet know Him. In this talk, Pastor Mark shares the importance of praying for your "one" and how it can help change their life!**********

The enemy has work and plans for destruction. But the Lord has plans for opportunity and restoration! Pastor Mark encourages you to turn your focus toward the Lord in today's message. What is He highlighting to you each day about ways you can partner with Him? Seek Him daily in His Word, through prayer and communion. It's important to notice all the opportunities God gives you to speak into another person's life. How can you show the Lord's love, compassion, mercy, and forgiveness? For some people, you are the only Bible they will ever read. Let them see Hope in you! Shine the light of Christ out brightly so others may come to Him!

The Bible was written by God. Hands down, no questions about it. It is SO incredibly clear and has been proven by History and science that what the Bible says is true! Purely because everything that has been prophesied has come true…it has happened exactly as God said it would happen! In today's message, Pastor Mark will show you that as a Christian, there should be NO doubt in your mind that the Bible is true and that God wrote it! You can clearly read about how God worked wonders in countless people's lives and then see God doing the exact same thing in your own life!

The enemy of your soul is constantly trying to distract you and lead you as far away from God as he can. Thankfully, the devil also knows the power that lives inside of you. If you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, then the same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives inside of you! In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to be aware of the devil's doings, but also be aware of God's power! God has made you just as you specifically for a purpose…His purpose! You were made to look and act like Jesus. Now, all you have to do is trust Him to lead you, and your life will flourish like no other!

Going where God calls and doing what God says, and being who God wants us to be, is hard. It's not easy to do the right thing ten times out of ten. Especially while fighting our human nature. In today's message, Pastor Mark will remind you that when you truly love God, obeying Him and His commands will come easily! When you love the Lord and recognize Him as the Lord in your life, obedience comes naturally! Because you obviously want to please Him. And when you please Him and follow His commands, your life will be SO much more fruitful! With God, your life can and will flourish in ways you cannot even imagine!

The central truth of Genesis 39 is that God's favor is not determined by favorable circumstances, nor can it be removed by rejection, injustice, temptation, or loss. Joseph's surroundings changed, his garments changed, and his position changed, but the presence of the Lord remained constant. The favor resting upon Joseph was intangible, yet it became unmistakably visible through his faithfulness, integrity, wisdom, and the blessing that flowed through his life. In the same way, believers do not work to earn the Father's favor; through the finished work of Jesus Christ, we live and serve from the settled assurance that we are already accepted, righteous, and loved in Him. Joseph ultimately points us beyond himself to Jesus Christ, the beloved Son who took the form of a servant and made the Father's heart visible wherever He went. Jesus is not merely another example of someone upon whom God's favor rested; He is the perfect revelation of the Father and the source of the grace now living within us. Therefore, uncommon favor is more than receiving something good from God—it is the indwelling life of Christ becoming visible through us, producing fruit in every season and bringing blessing to those around us. Favor that can be seen is not self-promotion or religious performance; it is the outward expression of an inward reality—the life of Jesus flowing through those who know they are already clothed in His righteousness.

Unwavering - A Tenacious Pursuit of His Presence

Pastor Mark breaks down the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians, empowering and directing us into obedience for the glory of Jesus Christ.

In today's sermon, Pastor Mark takes us through Romans 8:1–11 and reminds us of a simple truth: by ourselves we fail, but God is faithful. Our sin and weakness do not change the fact that God is for us and has made a way for us through Jesus Christ.Through the power of Christ, we can experience forgiveness, faith, salvation, and a new way of living. We don't have to live defined by our failures—we can take in Christ and live in God's grace.And the cross is God's ultimate proof of His love for us. Jesus has already done what we could never do for ourselves.We may fail, but God's grace never does.

A lot of times in life, all we care about is our rights and what we can get or have. The Bible shows us that that is not the Christian way. God's way is giving over receiving and serving over being served every single time. We're called to put others before ourselves just as we saw Jesus do! In today's message, Pastor Mark will invite you to start today by putting others before yourself! Learn to sacrifice your own comfort and time to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in your own job, family, church, and friend groups! To be a Christian means to serve others well and with a humble heart!

Today, Pastor Mark will be reminding you that the enemy is very active in this world, and unfortunately, very active in the church. Sadly, many have been burned by others in the church, and they chose to forsake the fellowship of the brethren. This is very dangerous because your robbing yourself of accountability and fellowship. The devil wants to kill, steal, and destroy; this is why it's extremely important to go to church. The enemy roams about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. The easiest targets for lions are those who are the weak of the herd that are straggling behind. Stay in Church, and remain in prayer and in His Word.  

Today, Pastor Mark will be challenging you to be bold for the Lord, because what you're proclaiming to the world is the truth, and it's the only truth that can set humanity free. After all, the Bible says the righteous are as bold as lions! Don't allow the enemy to cause you to fear preaching the Gospel to the lost. Always remember that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives within you. It's not you who should live in fear for preaching the truth; it's the enemies of God who should fear dying without having their sins forgiven. When your heart becomes broken for the lost, it becomes easier to evangelize.

Got Grit This week, Pastor Mark looks at the persistent faith found in Matthew 15 and challenges us to become people who refuse to give up in prayer. When the answer doesn't come immediately, faith keeps pressing in. Rather than allowing silence, disappointment, or delay to cause us to quit, we can dig deep, trust the heart of Jesus, and continue praying with perseverance. Sometimes faith looks like having the grit to keep asking, keep believing, and keep pursuing Jesus. ABOUT US Welcome to Life Foursquare Church in Decatur, Illinois!

Pastor Mark explores the as yet unfulfilled prophecies of Daniel 11, and examines the identity and ultimate defeat of the Antichrist. Believers should have confidence in the absolute trustworthiness of Scripture as we see how God's sovereign plan ensures final victory for His people.

What does it mean to be truly renewed? In this message, Pastor Mark unpacks what the Bible says about the battle for our minds and how daily renewal transforms the way we think, speak, and live. Drawing from Ephesians 4, 2 Corinthians 10, Philippians 4, and James 1, he shows us how to cast down wrong thoughts, bring every thought captive to Christ, and fill our minds with what God says is true. If your thought life needs a reset, this message is for you.

The Hebrew word Shema means listen, but in the ancient Hebrew mindset, listening was never meant to stop at simply hearing. We only truly listen to God when we respond to Him—put His words into practice. Join us today as Pastor Mark explores what it means to love God completely, keep His Word on our hearts, and intentionally pass our faith on to the next generation.

1 Corinthians 11:23-32

From the roots to the fruit — this week at Neighborhood Church, Pastor Mark unpacks how God's mission is fueled entirely by love! Using the picture of a tree, we explore how being rooted in God's love produces real, lasting fruit in our lives — love, joy, peace, patience, and more. Through Romans 12, Galatians 5, and 1 Corinthians 13, we dig into what it means to truly experience God's love (not just know about it), the difference between the fruit of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, and Jesus' powerful question to Peter: "Do you love me? Then follow me." A message of hope, restoration, and an invitation to come home to God's love.

John 3:16 is one of the most quoted and loved verses in the bible. “For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him…” …Whoever. That means your neighbor, prisoners, the opposing political party, and even you. Whoever believes in Him will be saved. Jesus set the foundation for today's message when He died on the cross. Today, Pastor Mark teaches that God will accept anyone who accepts His Son, regardless of their past mistakes. When you follow Jesus, you become a new creation. If you haven't made that decision today, what are you waiting for?

Do you constantly feel like you run out of time, yet spend hours scrolling, streaming, or grinding in video games? In a world obsessed with content and hyper-productivity, most of us aren't suffering from a lack of time—we're suffering from a lack of intentionality. In Part 4 of our Applied Wisdom collection, Pastor Mark breaks down Psalm 90 to confront the brevity of life and challenge the lie that we "don't have time" for what matters most. We make time for the things we actually want to have time for. If you are tired of watching your life evaporate into a backslash played log, this message offers three actionable, biblical steps to budget your time and live with purpose.**********

Do you have any favorite clothing or food brands? If so, the company likely used some celebrity to showcase why their product is great. For example, “Our sports drink gives you the energy to shoot consistent 3-pointers. Just ask Michael Jordan.” Having a good example helps drive sales for companies. Today, Pastor Mark will teach that you ought to be a good example for Christ. Preaching the Gospel is one thing, but living it out makes it that much more appealing to others. The world is watching your actions to see if they line up with your beliefs. Will they find a true believer? Or will they just find empty words?

Main Truth: God saves us from sin for obedience to his commandments. We are back with a new sermon series walking through the Ten Commandments in Exodus. In this sermon, Pastor Mark unfolds the introduction to the Ten Commandments and lays the foundation for why they were given, and how we are to obey them through Christ. Preached on Sept. 2, 2026.

The world is enamored with this idea of rebuilding from the rubble. Think about it. You've likely heard a song with the lyric, “What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.” You've likely seen a movie where the main character loses everything but comes back stronger than before. The world is fascinated by endurance. In today's message, Pastor Mark encourages you to stay diligent, stay strong, and stay faithful to Christ amid hardships and persecution. Your ability to rebuild from the rubble is a powerful testimony to unbelievers in the world, because they are watching to see if your faith is as strong as you claim it is. 

Giving Message

The study of cultures is integral to a successful mission trip. Missionaries must be aware of the stumbling blocks within a culture. For instance, a missionary to an Asian culture should expect to take their shoes off when visiting someone's home, even if they are used to tracking mud through their own house. In today's message, Pastor Mark will teach you the importance of worshipping God without causing others to stumble. Taking your shoes off in someone's home isn't a salvation issue, but doing so shows that you care about the person you are ministering to. How else can you minister to others by embracing their culture?

Pastor Mark Hankins, Giving Message

Joseph's journey from the pit toward Egypt reveals that the turbulence of life does not mean the Father has lost sight of us or abandoned His purpose. Although Joseph's brothers stripped away the visible evidence of his father's favor, they could not remove the exceptional grace resting upon his life. What appeared to be rejection, slavery, and separation was being overruled by God as transportation toward the fulfillment of His promise. Joseph's story teaches us that circumstances may be painful and the evidence before us may be real, but our conclusions about the Father's heart can still be wrong when we cannot see the whole flight plan. The finished work of Jesus Christ provides the clearest and final revelation of that heart. Just as Joseph, the beloved son, was rejected by his brothers and sold for silver, Jesus was rejected and betrayed—yet the cross transformed humanity's greatest act of hatred into Heaven's greatest display of redeeming love. Therefore, believers must not interpret God's disposition toward them through the bloodstained robe of present circumstances, but through the blood of the Lamb, which forever declares that they are loved, righteous, and secure in Christ. When the fog is thick and the runway cannot be seen, we can trust that Heaven has not lost sight of us: the Father is still watching, the Spirit is still leading, and grace is still carrying us toward the destination He has prepared.

What is election? An easy example happens every four years. Election is when someone is chosen, right? In the Christian faith, God has elected His believers – that is, they've been chosen to spend eternity with Him. This concept can cause a lot of tension and confusion, but today, Pastor Mark will walk you through it. As you listen, Pastor Mark will teach that election is evidenced by the fruits of the spirit – that is, the actions of those who have been elected will look like Jesus. How can you become elected? Simple! Just enter the race. If you let Him, God will vote for you. He wants to be with you and wants your soul to flourish.
