As we look back over the past 30 years, Pastor Mark reveals how unexpected challenges—from a blizzard-canceled launch to sudden theater closures—became divine stepping stones to immeasurably more. Drawing from Revelation 3:7-8, he shares how God transformed setbacks into setups, ultimately leading to a city block campus, the Miracle Theater, and bold new visions including an urban sportsplex. Whether you're facing roadblocks or dreaming bigger, this message illuminates how God uses life's interruptions to orchestrate His perfect plan. Don't miss this powerful testimony of faith, persistence, and divine timing! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when God moves in our heart to deal with an old problem?

Besides God, there is no God. There are lots of distractions out there trying to pull your attention in different directions. Despite the daily deluge of doctrines and dogmas, one God remains in control through it all, and that's the God of the Bible – the one true God that can give you eternal life if you turn to Him. Pastor Mark is going to remind you in today's message that God is the only true God. With so many beliefs and doctrines in the world today, it can be overwhelming just to know what's true. That's where faith and the Bible come in. You'll know the God of the Bible is the true God when you experience the joy only He can give.

Wednesday evening service preaching from the pulpit of Woodland Baptist Church – Winston Salem, NC * Please feel free to visit our website at woodlandbaptistnow.com

The God of the Bible is the one true God. He formed the earth and everything in it, and no creature or person is as powerful as Him. That's the God you serve. That's the God you can put your trust in to not only save you for eternity, but also guide and direct your steps here on earth. God's an amazing provider. There's nothing you need to fear when God's on your side. In today's message, Pastor Mark will point your focus to God. That's where it should always be. The world has all kinds of doctrines about other gods and reality, but they all fall short of bringing purpose and eternal life to your soul like the God of the Bible.

In this message, Pastor Mark continues teaching on the Holy Spirit by diving into understanding the anointing. Drawing from Acts 10:38 and Luke 4, he explains that the anointing is and what it is not.

Revival can start anywhere. God can move anywhere at any time.  He changes hearts, fills people with everlasting peace and joy, and with His Holy Spirit. You just have to ask Him to fill you. Ask Him to come into your life and guide you with His wisdom. He'll give you a joy unlike any that the world could ever offer. In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to turn your eyes to Jesus. Look to Him for the forgiveness of your sins. God moves through the lives of people, not afraid to go when He calls. Revival happens when the individual turns to Jesus and shares Him with others, so they can experience that joy and peace, too.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's The Lowdown. As we might expect from the penultimate episode of the season, things are looking very bad for Lee, as he makes the very poor decision to confront Pastor Mark in his own church (right after messing things up with Francis). Mentioned: TV critic Alan Sepinwall, who announced that the show will be back for a second season.Next Wednesday, we'll finish the season with season 1, episode 8, "The Sensitive Kind." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Send us a textEach week Pastor Mark takes time to go deeper and talk about the week's message!  If you have questions you'd like him to answer or hear more about please send those in by texting us at the link in the show notes!You can also view video of this podcast and our Sunday sermons by visiting our YouTube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@lifehousemotA discouraged remnant, a city in ruins, and a God who speaks with startling clarity—Zechariah's visions meet the ache of exile with a promise of presence and a plan shaped by precision. We open the conversation by tackling how God communicates today, contrasting Scripture's authority with the personal impressions and dreams that often stir our hearts. Revelation, we argue, is meant to prepare, not scare. If a message is truly from God, it aligns with the Word, brings wisdom, and moves us toward steady courage rather than anxious confusion.From there, we step into the rubble of post-exilic Jerusalem. The people are home but not whole; the temple remains unfinished, and hope runs thin. Into that moment God declares, “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit.” We explore the striking image of four horns and four craftsmen, tracing how God chooses artisans over armies to tear down oppressive power. Craftsmen work with patience and detail—an image of divine timing that challenges our culture's hurry. Empires rise and fall on God's schedule, and spiritual formation follows the same careful hand. The call is to trust the slow, skillful work of God.Patience, though, is not an excuse for passivity. The third vision shouts with urgency: “Up, up… flee from the land of the north.” We break down what active waiting looks like—oil in lamps, hands ready, hearts soft. “Hustle but don't hurry” becomes a practical rule of life: move with purpose, not panic; obey promptly, not recklessly. And at the center of every promise stands Jesus. We highlight how Zechariah hints at the pre-incarnate Christ, the one who pledges to dwell among his people. Presence becomes the anchor, the antidote to fear, and the engine of hope.If this conversation stirred something in you—clarity about discernment, courage to wait well, or urgency to move—tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Pastor Mark WalkerGenesis 12:1-4For more information please visit:https://nampacollegechurch.com

God is a God of healing. He can restore you from your old past life of sin. He can take away your guilt, shame, and condemnation. He can make you new and full of joy. All you have to do is come before Him and ask. He's waiting to make a change in your life that you won't regret. What's stopping you from asking? You can be filled with The Holy Spirit and have your joy restored. God can grant peace in your soul and make what has happened in the past as if it never did. In today's message, Pastor Mark will point you to where you can experience that healing. It's not money. It's not relationships with people. It's not material. It's God.

Following Jesus is more than believing—it's living! ABOUT THE MESSAGEIn part 1 of The Way To Live, Pastor Mark Stermer helps us discover that faith was never meant to be passive, but visible through lives devoted to doing good. Saved by grace and created for good works, we are called to serve, love, and respond to the needs around us in a way that points people to God. When faith moves into action, people don't just hear about God—they see Him. When faith moves into action, light shines, lives are changed, and the world sees real Christianity. ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey: https://www.thechurch.fm/jesus For a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-paths WHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.

The LORD should be the center of everything you do. He gives your life. He blesses you. He makes a way for you to enter Heaven to spend eternity with Him. The focus in any church should be on the Holy God Who's the reason for the church in the first place. Without Him, nothing would have been made that's been made. In today's message, Pastor Mark will show you the importance of keeping God first in your life. Others shouldn't have their attention on you when you're worshipping in church. Worship is about God, and to praise and glorify Him. Does how you worship distract others from God? He deserves all the glory and attention.

Send us a text In this episode of the Village Sermons podcast in Tucson, AZ, Pastor Eric Cepin continues our series through the Letter to Titus: Building a Community That Lasts. Eric explains why Paul urges Titus to appoint elders in Crete, and how faithful leadership brings stability and helps shape a community that stands apart from the surrounding culture. He then walks through the qualifications for elders, emphasizing that Paul isn't only looking for gifted individuals, but for households whose life together is worth following, imitating, and learning from. Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

Drawing from biblical insights and personal experience, this message challenges us to dream bigger, pray bolder, and expect greater things from our limitless God. Whether you're facing impossible situations or seeking breakthrough, this teaching will expand your faith and inspire you to believe again. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Mark is continuing the series on walking out the Great Commission using the prophet Micah's words as a springboard for action.

The restoring of a wayward heart begins by recognizing and then giving back to God those things that once belonged to Him. Today on Bold Steps Weekend, Pastor Mark picks up where he left off last time in your introduction and timeline leading up to Nehemiah's entrance into Bible history.Become a Bold Partner Today: https://www.moodyradio.org/donateto/boldsteps-weekendSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People are going to think all kinds of things; every single person is going to have their own set of opinions and beliefs; That includes making opinionated comments and decisions based on their interpretation of the Bible. Everyone thinks differently; that is a beautiful gift, but the Bible doesn't change based on what you want. In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to seek God and to read His Word so you can know the truth. Don't take what a pastor, a website, or even a friend says to heart as fact; fact-check against God's Word! The Bible hasn't and won't change, so base your truth on the faithful Word of God! 

It isn't as normal, or rather heard of, to make idols or to worship other gods. We don't live in a society where everyone goes to a pagan temple once a week to make their sacrifice and worship Baal. Don't get me wrong, some people do still worship pagan gods, but nowadays we have made all kinds of new idols. In today's message, Pastor Mark will teach that anything can be an idol. Traditionally, you may think an idol is just a physical object or person that someone idolizes, but anything can be idolized…Your phone, your job, and even your family. Anything that you value more or put above God is an idol.

In this First Wednesday message, Pastor Mark Butler challenges the church to move beyond basic salvation and start walking in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Every believer has been given an "unction" from the Holy One, yet many remain spiritually stagnant because they do not understand how the gifts and power of God are meant to operate in their daily lives. Pastor Mark delivers a powerful reminder that while feelings and specific manifestations may wane, the Word of God is always anointed and ready to break every yoke. This sermon is a call to stop being led by your intellect and start being moved by the Spirit of God, utilizing the authority He has already placed within you.

The Lord is a mighty lion, but He is also a righteous and gentle lamb. The Lord is a strong leader who will protect, AND He's also a tender leader who guides us and teaches us along the way. When we don't know what to do, when we're surrounded on all sides, He is there to both guide and protect. In today's message, Pastor Mark will reveal some of the many characteristics that the Lord has and is. Whatever you need, whether a gentle touch or a shove in the right direction, God is there to help you grow! Even when things aren't going well, God will provide a way for you to endure or move forward!

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's The Lowdown. Like the previous episode, this one featured an amazing performance from a beloved actor, Graham Greene, but no Francis. Also like many previous episodes, it featured Lee making some very dumb decisions. We need him to shape up, soon! Mentioned: Paul Sparks as Pastor Mark.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 7, "Tulsa Turnaround." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Are we simply called Christians by name, or are we truly living as followers of the Way? ABOUT THE MESSAGEIn part 1 of The Way To Live, Pastor Mark Stermer teaches about the earliest identity of believers—those who followed “the Way.” Long before the name Christian caught on, the church was known by how it lived, spoke, and walked in the path of Jesus, who declared Himself to be the way, the truth, and the life. This message calls us back to that unchanged calling, focusing on the power of the tongue—how our words can bring life or death, blessings or curses. Scripture reminds us that if we desire life, love, and good days, we must learn to watch our mouths, speak with humility and compassion, and build others up rather than tear them down. As we begin 2026, this is an invitation not just to carry the name Christian, but to truly live as followers of the Way! ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey: https://www.thechurch.fm/jesus For a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-paths WHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.

We're opening Zechariah and finding a God who remembers, a people who drift, and a hopeful call that cuts through excuses: return to Me, and I will return to you. From the ruins of exile to the slow creep of apathy, we trace how Judah started strong, stalled amid opposition and distraction, and heard a gracious summons back to the center. That ancient tension sounds modern—being in the right place on the outside while our hearts wander on the inside.We unpack the history that grounds the message: seventy years in Babylon, a miraculous return under Persia, and a community wrestling with poverty, fear, and fatigue. Then we bring it home. Repentance isn't just stopping bad behavior; it's moving toward Someone—running back to the Lord who remembers, blesses, and acts in His time. We talk about the sober law of sowing and reaping, how consequences ripen slowly, and why delayed fallout can fool us into complacency. And we name the lifelines God still gives: Scripture that warns and guides, the Holy Spirit who convicts and comforts, and a church family that practices loving accountability.Along the way, we keep the tone humble about spiritual language—when to say “God told me,” how to anchor counsel in the Bible, and why clarity comes from the text, not our hunches. If you've felt stuck between good intentions and old habits, this conversation offers clarity, conviction, and real hope. Draw near today, not tomorrow.

True and full surrender to God can make all the world of difference when it comes to your faith walk. God can do whatever He wants, but He still gives us the space and the opportunity to choose Him. He will never force anything. He will always give you the choice to obey and to walk with HIM! In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to invite God into your life! Allow God to truly rule and reign over all your decisions, over your mindset, and over all you do! When you surrender to God, there is nothing that can stop Him from blessing your life beyond your imagination!

God isn't limited in any way by any means. There isn't anything that can put parameters or even understanding on the ways of God. He is outside of what any person could imagine, control, or tame. The Lord's ways and His thought process are far greater and more powerful than what a human could comprehend. In today's message, Pastor Mark will remind you that God is outside of the natural; He isn't confined by human nature as you and I are. He is supernatural, meaning everything He does is done without the worries and limited understanding that you and I have to live and make decisions based on.

January 4th, 2026 Pastor Mark Bintliff - Tenacious Pursuit of His Presence 10:30AM

What do you do when God's timing doesn't align with your own? In this message, Pastor Mark Butler explores the story of the Israelites in Exodus 32 and the spiritual danger of growing impatient during the "wait." When we perceive God as being slow to move, we are often tempted to take matters into our own hands and build "golden calves"—self-made solutions that reflect our past more than our future. Pastor Mark delivers a powerful reminder that God is not on trial for our lives and that His silence is never His absence. This sermon challenges us to stay steadfast, resist the urge to manufacture our own results, and trust that God is still working on our behalf, even when He is out of sight.

Pastor Mark started a series reminding us of and teaching us the importance of walking out the Great Commission that Yeshua gave to His disciples before returning to His Father.

The unfortunate reality is that God does allow hard times to come our way. He does. The reason He does so is to grow our faith and trust in Him. It is so detrimental to our growth as Christians that we trust God to come to our rescue, whether it be physical protection or mental peace during turmoil. In today's message, Pastor Mark will share a little bit of how God came through for him when he trusted His guidance. God will show up; He never leaves His children alone or abandoned. So, whatever you may be going through, remember that God is with you always and will save you in your time of need!

Just like we'll see with Hezekiah, God sometimes allows difficult things to happen so His faithfulness can shine through! God uses hardships to shape us and to reveal His goodness to us and to those who witness what is happening. Our lives, including the ups and downs, are a testament to God's goodness! In today's message, Pastor Mark will remind you that when people question or challenge your beliefs, God will back you 100% of the time! When hard times come, and they will come, people will ask where your God is, and the way you allow God to shape you will be proof of His love and faithfulness!!!

The world can be a scary place; lots of things happen that can be detrimental to our way of life and to our peace. But the Lord says not to be fearful! There is no reason to fear the things of this world, because He is always in control and His plan will come to fruition! God remains in control no matter what happens!!! In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you through whatever it is you may be facing. God is in control! There is no reason to fear any disasters because God is the god of peace and protection! If you've accepted Jesus, there is a place for you in heaven; death isn't in your future!!!

Preaching the Word and sharing the Gospel isn't about sharing your opinions or viewpoints. Sharing about Jesus is about sharing about Jesus. Nothing more, and surely nothing less. Anytime you get the chance to hear or share about Jesus, you should always fact-check with the Word of God! In today's message, Pastor Mark will share that you should even fact-check what he preaches. You shouldn't take any pastor's word for it; you should always check with the Bible and see what truth is and what may be an opinion. There is no mistaking the Bible, so make sure you know the Word, so you can share the Word!

Send us a textYear-end conversations get real fast when you measure a year by people, not projects. We sat down with Pastor Mark to trace God's fingerprints across 2025—sending out a new church plant, welcoming guests from around the world, celebrating dozens of baptisms, and watching a young woman meet Jesus and start serving kids with contagious joy. We also faced hard moments head-on: losses, strained marriages, and the wear and tear of a world that doesn't always make room for hope. Through all of it, the refrain was steady: Jesus is near, Scripture is sure, and the Spirit helps us endure.From there we pivot to what's next. Our theme for 2026 is drawn from Zechariah 4:6: not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit. That line isn't a slogan—it's our strategy. We unpack a balanced, biblical vision of the Holy Spirit that avoids hype and honors His person and work. Think deep prayer, Scripture illuminated, gifts used to build up the church, and everyday mission with supernatural help. We'll preach through Zechariah, learn from Acts—the real “Acts of the Holy Spirit”—and keep planning hard while holding plans loosely, ready for God's “left turns” that lead to better fruit.We also celebrate a powerful act of generosity: a $218,000 in one offering, given by the whole church family from kids to grandparents, fueling missionaries, church planters, and local partners. Generosity is how our hearts follow God's heart, and it turns encouragement into action for people on the front lines. As we look ahead, we're asking God to deepen our dependence, widen our witness, and make our church a signpost that points past us to a great God.If this resonates, follow along: subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find the conversation.
