Obedience is not the cornerstone, nor should it be the primary goal for a new covenant believer. What is the believer's goal? In a perfect world, we would all end up with the same answer. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, and the church doesn't teach a perfect doctrine; therefore, our answers are all over the board. Jesus is our ultimate goal. Jesus is the cornerstone, and a relationship with Him should be the ultimate objective of the believer. Obedience and the fulfillment of God's divine promises are the offspring of grace and faith.

Pastor Mark answers questions from Lydia, Elijah, Israel, Isaac, and Emerson.This is the BIG QUESTION, where we do our best to answer questions from young disciples at Grace, and to be at peace with the mysteries that we can't explain.
Discover how God uniquely designed your personality for His purposes! Pastor Mark explores how we're energized (tasks vs. people) and organized (structured vs. unstructured) using the framework from "What You Do Best," by Bruce Bugbee. See how biblical figures like Peter, Paul, and Jesus exemplified different personality traits—from Peter's spontaneous leap onto water to Paul's laser-focused mission. Learn why your personality isn't a weakness to fix but a strength to embrace for God's kingdom work. Whether you're a checklist-lover or free-spirited relationship-builder, God created you intentionally! Includes a fun real-life example from a Love Rockville event and practical ways to stop wishing you were someone else. Your personality is God's gift—celebrate it and use it for His glory!#personality, #Godsdesign, #masterpiece, #uniquelyyou, #taskvseople, #structuredvsunstructured, #biblicalcharacters, #spiritualgrowth, #identityinChrist, #purposefullife
Living for God's glory means letting His character shape every corner of your life—work done with integrity, conversations seasoned with grace, resources stewarded generously, and decisions guided by prayer. It's choosing obedience over convenience, service over spotlight, and patience over pressure. Celebrate others, confess quickly, forgive freely, and pursue excellence as worship. And in today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to resolve to begin where you are: one wholehearted yes at a time, so ordinary moments become a bright reflection of God's holy character in you.
Setbacks feel like dead ends, but in God's hands, they become construction zones for His purpose. Delays deepen dependence, detours reveal gifts, and disappointments refine motives. He weaves lessons into compassion for others, credibility into your story, and resilience into your faith. What might've looked like a loss becomes a launchpad for God's glory and others' good. And in today's message, Pastor Mark will remind you to bring God every closed door and unanswered prayer—You can ask God to open your eyes to the opportunities that He wants to put before you!
God is calling you to share the gospel regardless of the result—applause, silence, questions, or even rejection. Your role is faithfulness; God handles fruit. Speak with humility, love, and clarity; listen well, pray boldly, and leave outcomes in His hands. Seeds sown today may bloom years from now. Risk the awkward moment for someone's salvation. And in today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage your resolve to say yes: open your mouth, open your schedule, open your home—And let Jesus' good news travel through your ordinary life. You never know what soil the seeds you sow might land on!

In today's message, Pastor Mark will remind you that when Jesus changes your heart, old appetites lose their shine. What once felt thrilling now feels thin; shortcuts seem empty, and habits that numbed you no longer fit your new life. His love rewrites desires, and peace replaces the rush. Friend groups, entertainment, and routines shift as purpose deepens and joy grows clean. And in today's message, don't mourn what's fading—celebrate it. Lean into new rhythms, healthier boundaries, and holy ambitions that align with who you're becoming in Christ Jesus.
Satan's accusations are like a relentless storm, pounding you with guilt day and night. In today's message, Pastor Mark describes how the enemy accuses you constantly, sometimes with truths about your failings, other times with lies. But the good news is that Jesus covers every wrong with His blood. As a believer, your sins are forgiven when you repent, and false accusations fall powerless. You're shielded by Christ's sacrifice, no matter what the enemy claims. Blood speaks louder than any accusation. You stand secured in His grace. Are you resting in Christ's blood to silence Satan's accusations against you?
