Podcasts about pastor mark

People today have a lot of different ideas about the Bible.  Those who haven't read it think it's just a bunch of outdated laws and rules.  Some people have a dislike for it because it doesn't keep up with the changes they'd like to make in the culture.  It may sometimes be intimidating to say that you believe it's the Word of God. Today, Pastor Mark shows that doubting God's Word is not just a modern invention.  During the time of Isaiah, as well as the time of Christ, a lot of people didn't take too kindly to the words of the prophets.  But when you put your trust in the Word of God, it doesn't matter what other people say; you're looking for His approval.  

What if God's impossible plans hold your greatest purpose? When Mary faced an unimaginable pregnancy, she responded with a song of fierce trust and radical praise. Pastor Mark unpacks how this teenage girl's bold faith-filled response echoes through generations, showing us how to magnify God in our own uncertain moments. Through insights about Scripture as God's soundtrack and quantum physics revealing creation's constant song, this message illuminates how worship transforms our perspective on life's challenges. Ready to find your own song of hope? Listen now to discover how trusting God's bigger story can turn your trials into triumph. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

12-07-25 11:00 AM – Pastor Mark Crow by Pastor Mark Crow / Mosaic Church OKC

Dr. Jobe brings an important topic for the Christmas season that we just have to share with you. It's all about being ready...ready for God to interrupt your life to take someone the next step with Jesus! Pastor Mark calls us to pray for some divine interruptions this season. Get ready for part 1. Become part of our Advance Team: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/moodypresents/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps Weekend with Mark Jobe, you'll learn how your children should obey authority. From Ephesians chapter six, Pastor Mark shares how parents should parent.Become a Bold Partner Today: https://www.moodyradio.org/donateto/boldsteps-weekendSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The industry and infrastructure of our planet are pretty amazing. The articles you buy are literally manufactured all over the world.  You can go to the grocery store and buy food from every inhabited continent.  Your house has electricity; your car has gas; and you even have a cell phone.  What could go wrong? Today, Pastor Mark reminds us that, although humans seem to have complete control of the earth, that's not exactly true!  God has given us minds and hands to create.  But one day, God will show us that He rules over everything we've made.  Isn't it wonderful that He's got the whole world, including your life, in His Hands?

When you look at all of the religions in the world, it can sometimes feel discouraging.  Even two thousand years after Christ's time on earth, there are many who do not believe in Him.  Some haven't heard of Him.  Others have heard but have rejected Him.  And there are many people who are outright hostile. Today, Pastor Mark assures us that God has everything exactly under His control.  What has happened in the past has occurred according to His will.  And He holds the future as assuredly as He holds the past.  Most importantly for you, you can be confident that He's in complete control of whatever is going on in your life.

Sometimes our perceptions of God can be quite distorted.  Some people see Him as a stern task-master who's trying to keep them in line.  Others see Him as a kind of “Force” – distant and impersonal.  But when we read the Bible, we see an abundance of descriptions of God that show He's eminently personal. Today, Pastor Mark describes both God's sternness in justice and His compassion in mercy.  The characteristics that you see in Jesus during His earthly life are the human expressions of Who God Is.  You can relate to God personally, because He created you personally, and you are made in His Image.

Send us a textJohn 14:16–18, Romans 8:15–16, Ephesians 2:18In this episode of The Village Church sermon podcast, Pastor Mark opens the Advent series by exploring the arrival of Jesus and His promised return. He invites us to consider what it means to live in the in-between, and he centers the message on the vital work of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives. 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 beloved board games, Pastor Mark reveals a profound truth: just as every game has clear victory conditions, our spiritual journey has two crucial tests at life's end.

If you've ever looked at a map of the modern-day Middle East and wondered where the names came from, the history can be both fascinating and enlightening.  Did you know that “Palestine” is actually just a different spelling of “Philistine”?  And yet, there aren't any actual descendants of the Philistines living there. Today, Pastor Mark takes you on a journey through the history of the Middle East.  All of the countries and peoples you've read about in the Bible can be mapped onto current national boundaries.  And there are messages for you in each people-group.  Messages of family, and messages of mercy.

Pastor Mark shares how installing deacons brought transformative change to his congregation—and why this often-overlooked office is essential to a healthy church.Reflecting on the biblical call to service, Pastor Mark reminds us: “The church is not a theology club. We are a church that serves.”We hope you find this to be an encouraging and insightful discussion on the ministry of mercy, and discover why the work of deacons is central to the mission and fellowship of the church.Referenced in this episode:OPC Book of Church OrderOPCCDM.orgTraining Videos (from the NDS IV 2022 National Diaconal Summit)"Diaconal Leadership Today" Bill Shishko“The Deacon and his Congregation” Craig Troxel "Mercy Ministry in a Social Justice World" Eric Watkins"Ministry to the Spiritually Immature" Seth Long"Doing Business as Deacons” by Chris SudlowSample Deacon Meeting Agenda (Wolf River OPC)Diaconal Training Syllabus (Wolf River OPC)Scripture·      Ephesians 4:7, 11-13, 16·      Hebrews 6:10·      Acts 2:42·      Acts 6:1-6·      Acts 8:5-8·      I Peter 4:10·      Hebrews 10:24You can find all of our episodes at thereformeddeacon.org.

Who would you say that people in our culture worship?  It may be the political leaders whom they believe will make our country better.  Maybe it's the technologists who are making our lives easier.  A lot of people worship movie stars, or rock stars, or star athletes.  Some just worship their own prosperity and popularity. Today, Pastor Mark describes an incredibly glorious creation of God.  Surely, this “being” would be happy to be in the place God had put him.  But no, Satan wasn't satisfied.  He wanted equality with God.  You might want to thank God that He didn't make you more awesome than you are.  It might not have turned out much better.

Sunday is the 1st Sunday of Advent 2025, a great day to turn the page!  For in the fullness of time, God stepped into time, at just the right time, to redeem ALL time!  As Galatians 4:4 says, "When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under the law, so that we might be adopted as God's children."

Experience a powerful Advent message about finding real hope in life's darkest moments! Pastor Mark explores Romans 8 to reveal four transformative truths: recognize suffering's reality, anchor your hope in God (not circumstances), believe the best is yet to come, and patiently endure through struggles. Discover why biblical hope isn't wishful thinking but confident trust in God's promises. Be moved by Yolanda's incredible story—a woman with leprosy, abandoned by family, yet radiating joy hours before death because she knew God's furious love. This isn't about denying pain or toxic positivity—it's about genuine hope rooted in God's character.

11-30-25 – Pastor Mark Crow by Pastor Mark Crow / Mosaic Church OKC

What if the thing you've been waiting for turns out better than you ever imagined? In "Waiting to Be Saved," Pastor Mark shares from Luke 1:67-80 about how Israel longed for rescue and how their waiting was fulfilled in a salvation richer than they hoped for. Jesus' birth brought rescue near and changed their story, and He still meets our deepest needs today as we learn to wait with faith.

Ephesians 5:22-33

Sermon 11-30-25 - "Chasing Worldly Success" – 2 Chronicles 28 – Pastor Mark de Kluyver The Sunday morning sermon of First Baptist Church of Kearney, Nebraska.

Sermon:  "Chasing Worldly Success" – 2 Chronicles 28 – Pastor Mark de Kluyver The morning worship service of First Baptist Church of Kearney, Nebraska.

In the opening message of our Christmas series Names of the Nativity, Pastor Mark takes us into Matthew 1:1–17 and the often-overlooked genealogy of Jesus with today's message, "The Family Tree of Jesus." Far from a list of names to skim past, this family tree tells a powerful story of how God works through all kinds of people.Pastor Mark highlights three groups woven into Jesus' lineage: the faithful, who walked with God; the failures, whose broken stories God redeemed; and the forgotten, those history barely remembers but God intentionally included.This message reminds us that if God used them to carry the light of Christ into the world, He can use us too. Join us as we discover how our own stories fit into the ongoing work of God's grace this Christmas season.

When we live grateful and thankful lives, it changes everything! Our perspective on the world and the things that God has done for us completely shifts. Pastor Mark talks about this, and more, during our Thanksgiving One-Shot message. **********

If you were to try to imagine the worst possible sin that any being could commit, what would you come up with?  Certainly, there have been some horrific crimes committed throughout our planet's history.  Dictators have killed millions.  Serial murderers have taken dozens of lives.  What could possibly be worse? Today, Pastor Mark describes the ultimate sin.  And that's the attempt to become equal to God.  It was first committed by that “being” whom we call Satan.  And he's been tempting humans to do the same, ever since Adam and Eve in the Garden.  But you have someone more powerful than him: the Lord Jesus Christ!

It's not hard to look around at the world and see that it's filled with evil.  We see it internationally; we see it in our country; and we see it in our own hearts.  We might wonder: Why is God letting this happen?  Does He not care?  Is He not in charge of the universe?  It can be baffling and frustrating to think about. Today, Pastor Mark will set your concerns at ease.  Yes, God does care.  Yes, He is in control.  And yes, He will take action.  God has a plan for how He will bring His justice to the earth.  Whether or not you can know every single detail, you can know what's of final importance: God is faithful, and His Word is trustworthy.

What an incredible day that will be when the pain of this world is gone, and we get to walk the streets of gold praising our Father in heaven. If you have ever experienced the feeling of worshipping alongside thousands of believers at a conference, you know just a little glimpse of that future that waits for you. Today, Pastor Mark will tell you about all the things prophesied in Isaiah that you have to look forward to after the events of Revelation. As a Christian, you will get to experience the glory of God and Jesus as you spend eternity living free from the heartache and pain of this world. What a glorious day that will be!

Parents, you know that one of the hardest things to do is discipline your children. The cliché saying, “This hurts me more than it hurts you,” is so true. It breaks your heart to see them doing wrong, and it breaks your heart again to punish them, knowing that their pain or anger is because of you. In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that the way that you feel when disciplining your child is how God feels when He has to correct Israel and the Church. He doesn't love to do it, but He loves you so much that He does it anyways. When you feel the sting of God's hand, know He loves you and wants what's best.

The Gutenburg Bible and the Greek and Hebrew text - Pastor Mark Smith

We were not made to walk through this difficult life alone. Often, it throws us into circumstances where we need to seek wisdom from those with more experience or confide in those who are trustworthy. It's tempting to view life as a solo mission, but it's really better off as a team experience. In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that when life has gotten too challenging to tackle on your own, why not confide in Jesus? Isaiah calls Him Wonderful Counselor after all! Jesus can give you all the answers you seek, and will provide the wisdom you're after… so trust His words.

Join us as Pastor Mark teaches through 1 Samuel 14, comparing Jonathan and Saul's different approaches to God's plan in the battle against the Philistines. If you like what you hear, or want to learn more visit our website, www.hopeinanderson.com

In this Thanksgiving message, Pastor Mark Butler reminds us that everything in the Christian life flows from the love of God. Drawing from Romans five, Ephesians 3, Galatians 5, and 1st Corinthians 13, he teaches how the love of God strengthens us, steadies us, and empowers our faith to work. Pastor Mark shares personal stories, honest reflections, and practical insight that show how God's love equips us to walk in patience, kindness, unity, and forgiveness even in difficult situations and busy seasons. This message will encourage you to receive the love that God has already poured into your heart and to let that love shine through your words, actions, and attitude as you reach people during the holidays.

From the sermon series, "Your Work Matters." Pastor Mark briefly teaches from Colossians 4:2-6 on living evangelistically at work or school, and we also hear from a panel of members of our community about what this looks like in their workplace.

11-23-25 – Pastor Mark Crow by Pastor Mark Crow / Mosaic Church OKC

Pastor Mark concludes this series about the obstacles that hinder our spiritual lives with the emphasis on doubt and unbelief and neglect of spiritual disciplines that will lead us down a wrong road.

The Day of the Lord is near. We've heard this for centuries, as far back as the Old Testament prophets. But someday, it will literally come to pass, and doesn't it seem like maybe it's getting close? Pastor Mark encourages us today that the thought of Jesus returning should bring joy to our hearts!  After all, isn't this the reason we believe in our Savior? He came to make a way for sinners to be reunited with their heavenly Father. One day, He will return and reign on this earth. What a privilege it would be to be part of the generation that is taken up in the clouds. Each day brings us closer to this glorious promise.  

 In today's message, Pastor Mark reminds us that Ahaz's warning from God is the same warning to us. We need to believe God's Word, stand firm in His truth, and trust that He will establish us. When we doubt and waver, it allows fear to enter our minds, and we make choices based on fear rather than faith. We also see in this section of Isaiah that Ahaz's heart was far from the Lord. Ironically, God chooses whomever He wants as leaders, despite what they believe or how they live. Isn't it the same with us, though? God can use us, despite our weaknesses, doubts, and shortcomings. Are you willing?
