We sit down to process a big Sunday at LifeHouse: baby dedications, taking communion as a gathered church, and a baptism celebration filled with raw, honest testimonies of how Jesus changes real lives.We dig into why baby dedication matters even though it isn't an ordinance, and how it functions as a public commitment for parents and a shared promise from the church family to come alongside them. Then we clarify the two ordinances Jesus gives the church: communion and baptism. Both are symbolic, but never shallow. Communion re-centers us on the cross together, and baptism publicly pictures the gospel, the washing of sin, and the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. We also talk through the tension around children's baptism, why some churches set age limits, and how we try to guard the sacredness of baptism without becoming spiritual gatekeepers.The conversation turns to Acts 2 and Pentecost, where Peter's first sermon shows the “Acts of the Holy Spirit” in motion. We unpack four themes: the Spirit powers the messenger, presents the message through illumination, proclaims the Messiah, and pierces hearts with conviction. That conviction isn't condemnation; it's God's kindness that wounds in order to heal, leading from salvation into real sanctification.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.

Discipleship. It's a fundamental, core, calling of God in Scripture. What does it mean? Let's go back to God's creating the heavens and the earth, and all living things for a starting point. God created human beings unique among all of his creatures. Human beings were created in the image of God. What does this mean? Foundationally, it means we were made for a relationship with God! To love God as God loves us. And we were created to grow in our relationship with our Creator. I guess you can call it a growth in discipleship - knowing God, loving God, living in a good relationship with God.

In this message, Pastor Mark Butler explores a question that every believer must wrestle with: if God has already made us righteous through Christ, what is our responsibility now? In this message, Pastor Mark reveals the difference between what Jesus has done for us and what we must do in response. As he unpacks the roles of righteousness, consecration, faithfulness, and the work of the Holy Spirit, you'll discover why many Christians struggle to experience the fullness of God's promises and how a deeper walk with Him can transform every area of life. This message will challenge, encourage, and inspire you to move beyond simply knowing the truth and begin living it.

05-31-26 – Pastor Mark Crow by Pastor Mark Crow / Mosaic Church OKC

Pastor Mark Potter explores the theme that believers never face life's battles alone, drawing parallels between his own fight with cancer and the biblical story of the Amalekites. He recounts how the Israelites secured victory in Exodus 17 through the combined efforts of Joshua on the battlefield and Moses, Aaron, and Hur on the hilltop. By highlighting how Moses needed others to hold up his hands in prayer, Pastor Potter emphasizes the necessity of community support and divine reliance during periods of exhaustion. He encourages the congregation to memorialize God's faithfulness as a spiritual practice to sustain future generations through hardship. Ultimately, the message points to Jesus Christ as the ultimate mediator and "man on the middle cross" who secures victory over sin and death. Pastor Potter concludes that salvation and strength are found not in personal merit, but in rallying around Christ as the source of triumph.Support the showThanks for listening!

We start with Memorial Day reflections and the gift of worshiping freely, then we move straight into Acts 2 and the moment the church is born, not as a legend, but as a recorded event with a purpose and a date.Pentecost Sunday is more than a calendar label. We talk through the Feast of Weeks, why Jerusalem was filled with people from across the nations, and how God used that gathering to set up a literal harvest of souls. When the Holy Spirit arrives, the signs are unmistakable: a sound like a mighty rushing wind, tongues like fire resting on each person, and ordinary believers “filled with the Holy Spirit.” We emphasize what the text emphasizes: power that comes from heaven, clarity that draws people in, and a message that features the mighty works of God, the gospel of Jesus.We also address the big question many listeners carry about speaking in tongues. Acts 2 is not confusion or spiritual showing off. It's understandable languages that make the gospel plain and prepare hearts to receive it, and we connect that to how Scripture calls the church to order and edification. From there, we bring it home: God doesn't need your ability as much as your availability, and he can give you the words, wisdom, and boldness to share Christ right where you are.If you want a grounded, Scripture-based conversation about the Holy Spirit, Pentecost, spiritual gifts, and living on mission, this one is for you.

Memorial Day '26Pastor Mark SmithMay 24, 2026

 Family relationships can be some of the most meaningful and painful relationships in our lives. In this message, Pastor Mark explores what the Bible really means when it says to “honor your father and mother,” especially when family relationships are emotionally complicated, unhealthy, or deeply painful. Through the example of Jesus, this sermon examines boundaries, emotional health, forgiveness, guilt, and the challenge of staying loving without losing yourself. 

Sometimes prayer feels powerful.Sometimes it feels repetitive.Sometimes it feels like nothing is happening at all.So what do we do when prayer feels exhausting… or unanswered… or hard to keep going?We keep praying.In this message from our This Is What We Do series, Pastor Mark shares why perseverance in prayer matters—not because God is distant, but because prayer strengthens us for the fight. Just like athletes train with endurance so they're ready when it matters most, we keep showing up in prayer so our faith grows stronger over time.You'll also be reminded of two powerful truths about God:→ God is Loving — His love for you doesn't change. You can't earn more of it, and you can't lose it.→ God is Just — He sees every hurt, every injustice, every unseen moment, and He will make things right.If you've been discouraged in prayer, this message is for you.At Fierce Church, we're Helping You Walk with Jesus Step-By-Step.Because The Best U is in Community.

Through today's message, we discover that God's promises are not canceled or made void by valleys, delays, betrayals, or suffering, but are often fulfilled in the midst of them. Joseph's journey from pet to pit, from pit to palace, from palace to prison, and from prison to prime minister reveals that God remained faithful in every season, using even what was meant for evil to accomplish a greater purpose.  

After his resurrection, he said to his followers, "Wait 50 days, and I'll pour out my Spirit! The best is yet to come!" And He did exactly that.

Every great hero—and every great villain—has an origin story that shapes their future. But what happens when yours is filled with broken cycles, trauma, or habits you desperately want to break?In this message from our series The Refining, Pastor Mark looks at the generational drama of Joseph in Genesis to unpack a powerful truth: true spiritual health requires us to confront our past. You don't have to live by the script handed down to you. It's time to step into a new, supernatural identity and become who you were actually created to be.CONTENT REFERENCES:Theo Von Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CihTN2GQymcMark Manson Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfiBDuUVc-A&t=314s**********

One of the greatest joys in life for toddlers is a nice, warm cup of milk. It's even more refreshing after a nice, long nap. The problem is, sometimes that's all they want. Dinner may be getting close, but their impatience means that the only thing their taste buds will really get to experience is milk. Today, Pastor Mark teaches that we have natural desires, but often get too impatient for them to be filled in God's timing. Maybe for you, “dinner” looks like a promotion at your job, but your “milk” is quitting and finding a job elsewhere. Don't let your fleshly desires be the ruler of your life when God has better things in store for you.

An evening ritual my wife and I share is fresh popcorn. It didn't start that way. It used to be that occasionally, I'd offer to make some for both of us, and since she'd decline, I would only measure out enough kernels for myself. However, I'd only get to enjoy half of what I made… thus, the portions increased, and the habit was formed. In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that there are far too many instances in life where you might be tempted by your surroundings. If you really do not want popcorn… well, it's really hard to abstain when you can smell it and reach it. Sometimes, it may be better off if you leave the room before it consumes you.

Pastor Mark delivers a bold public message from the steps of the Supreme Court, confronting the growing divide between biblical truth and modern culture. Against the backdrop of one of America's most powerful institutions, he challenges Christians to stand firm in faith, engage culture with courage, and remember that ultimate authority belongs to God — not government.

We sit with the moment Jesus sends the disciples out, the waves rise, and then Jesus comes walking on the sea. The miracle is unforgettable, but the deeper question is what it's designed to produce in us: trust, clarity about who Jesus is, and worship that doesn't depend on calm weather.We reflect on Rob Wilton's message and add our own takeaways: Jesus' intention in sending them, Jesus' intercession as he prays, and Jesus' intervention when he shows up right in the middle of the chaos. We talk about why prayer is not a last resort, why peace is found in God's presence, and how our comfort-obsessed habits can quietly weaken our faith. Then we zoom in on Peter's step of faith, the distraction of the wind, and the simple, desperate cry that still matters: “Lord, save me.”We also get practical about remembering God's faithfulness with real-life “markers,” the kind that keep you grounded when fear, depression, or waiting returns. Finally, we look ahead to Pentecost and Acts 2, where one moment becomes a movement powered by the Holy Spirit.

The heaviest deadlift ever recorded exceeded an insanely heavy 1,120 pounds. For context, the lifter could have been holding a nine-foot grand piano, and the player. It also means that the record holder could have lifted an adult horse all by himself. Talk about strength! I can barely lift myself out of bed in the morning! In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that too often, we try to rely on our own strength. The fact of the matter is, no matter what your deadlift record is, sin will still be too heavy for you. You can't overcome it by sheer force. It can only be overcome by the blood of Jesus, who died on the cross to set you free.

Can you be physically delivered but still spiritually trapped? In Part 2 of the powerful series, Behold the Army of God, Pastor Mark Stroud exposes "The Lust Trap"—the hidden baggage that has the power to sabotage your destiny, steal your blessings, and change the entire trajectory of your life. ​When the children of Israel miraculously marched out of the land of Egypt, they left with absolute health, wealth, and the supernatural backing of the Almighty. God had completely broken their physical chains. Yet, as they journeyed toward the Promised Land, many carried a deadly secret in their bags: the literal and spiritual idols of Egypt. ​They left the land of slavery, but they brought the culture of slavery with them. ​In this message, we unpack exactly how these hidden idols hindered Israel's relationship with God, led them directly into sin, and brought avoidable misery and pain into their lives. More importantly, Pastor Mark shares critical, biblical keys on how we can identify and avoid these modern-day "lust traps" in our own lives today so we don't block the blessings God has engineered for us. ​

Did you know that the average credit card debt per cardholder in the U.S. is around $6,000? Maybe you have more, or maybe you've been disciplined enough to have less. The promise of instant gratification has led to debts looming over the heads of many, and they end up paying more in the long run. Too often, people believe that, since they can't afford that new toy right now, they can swipe their American Express and pay it back later. In the same way, Pastor Mark teaches today that many believers have a hard time waiting for the treasures of heaven, so they indulge in sin now, racking up a debt that only Jesus could pay.

Welcome back to the penultimate episode of our 1 Samuel teaching series. This week, Pastor Mark teaches a convicting message from Chapters 29 & 30. Grab your bibles, and lets get into the word together! Like what you hear, or want to learn more? Visit us at hopeinanderson.com

The ascension of Jesus is one of Christianity's most overlooked doctrines — we confess it every week in the creeds, but rarely stop to ask what it actually means for us today. In this sermon from Luke 24:44–53 and Hebrews 4:14–5:10, Pastor Mark explores why the disciples responded to Christ's departure with great joy, and what it means that Jesus ascended not simply to wait, but to reign as King and intercede as our great High Priest. If you've ever wondered whether your prayers are truly heard, or felt the weight of a world that seems out of control, the doctrine of the ascension speaks directly to you.

Manoah was blissfully unaware that his spiritual journey wasn't aligning with where God hoped he would be. So, what did that lead to? God decided to share His messages through His wife, who was truly in tune with her spiritual connection to Him. When you start to drift away from your relationship with God, you might find that you're not quite in sync with the amazing plans He has for your life. In today's message, Pastor Mark invites you to take a moment to reflect on your spiritual life and explore ways to deepen your connection with God. When you're in harmony with Him, everything around you will align perfectly.

Dealing with teenagers can sometimes feel like navigating a tricky maze, and as a parent, you might find yourself in a mental tug-of-war! As a believer, it can be truly tough to watch your kids drift away from their faith and rebel in their own ways. But does that make you lose all hope? Today, Pastor Mark has a heartfelt message for all the parents out there—he's inviting you to lift your spiritually lost kids in prayer. It seems like you may have missed the chance to build a solid spiritual foundation. But your prayers have the power to unlock those stubborn hearts to embrace God's love. It's never too late to come back to Jesus!

When constructing a skyscraper, the crew always ensures that the foundation is rock-solid. That takes away the worry of earthquakes and wind causing any harm to the building. In the same way, being a parent gives you the chance to guide your kids through life and get them ready for what's coming next. But have you taken the time to build that spiritual base in their lives? Today, Pastor Mark encourages you to build a strong foundation by guiding your children to walk with God from a young age. Even if they do stray away from Jesus at some point, He will find a way to reach out to them and bring them back to Him. 

In this message, Pastor Mark continues our series around building healthy relationships by mining out what the Bible has to say about relational boundaries. Today's Message Text: Colossians 3:12-14; Galatians 6:2-5 Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast!

That's exactly where Acts 1 lands, in the ten days between the ascension and Pentecost, and it gives us a surprisingly practical picture of how believers handle uncertainty without falling apart.We talk through what “with one accord” really means and why it's so countercultural right now. The early church isn't a room full of identical people. It's zealots and former tax collectors, women and men, insiders and outsiders, different social classes and messy backstories, all choosing obedience and unity. We dig into why the goal isn't 80/20 participation but 100/100 surrender, and how real Christian community becomes a witness to a divided world.From there, we get specific about prayer, Bible guidance, and decision-making. The disciples devote themselves to prayer, then look to Scripture for comfort and clarity after Judas' betrayal, and then make a major leadership decision by asking God to reveal what He has already chosen. We also explain why casting lots makes sense once in Acts 1 but disappears after the Holy Spirit comes, and what it looks like today to seek wisdom with faith, wait on God's timing, and obey without stalling.If you're wrestling with direction, relationships, or a big next step, listen through and then join the conversation.

Samson, huh? He's quite the character, isn't he? Famous for his incredible strength, he stood out among other Bible characters. So, you might be curious about the kind of diet that boosted his strength to such impressive heights, huh? Guess what? It was all God! His trust in God filled him with an amazing strength. Yet, as he wandered from God and led a sinful life, his strength began to wane. In today's message, Pastor Mark shares insights on how to stand firm against sin and lean on God's strength. Unlike Samson, be mindful not to let sin get in the way of that beautiful bond you share with your Creator.

What drives you when you're doing something, whether it's playing music or lending a hand at church? What's the spark behind your actions? Are you doing it as a way to honour God, or is it more about impressing others and making them think highly of you? It's interesting how, even within ministry, there are individuals who seem to prioritise their own interests while claiming to serve God. In today's message, Pastor Mark invites you to open your heart to worship and to serve God with sincerity and a joyful spirit. God truly knows what lies within your heart and the motives behind your actions. Be true to Him!
