Pastor Mark and Aaron Powell pick up the Sunday message and walk straight into the tension Peter and John faced with the Sanhedrin and the courage that followed. What stands out is what they do next: they don't pray for an easier path. They pray for boldness, and the church keeps speaking the Word of God with confidence.We connect that biblical boldness to everyday life in the United States, where many believers aren't facing prison but still feel heavy pressure to keep faith private. We talk about fear of being labeled, overlooked, canceled, or even losing opportunities at work or in the community. Along the way, we pull lessons from faithful believers across history, ask what we would do if the cost got higher, and keep coming back to one anchor: we can't manufacture courage on our own, but the Holy Spirit can fill and strengthen us.We also get practical about “strategic boldness” that speaks truth in love without being rude or looking for a fight. Prayer, corporate community, and staying in step with the Spirit shape when to speak, how to speak, and how to endure when the gospel offends. If you want spiritual courage that lasts past Sunday, this conversation will help you take the next faithful step.

Knowing right from wrong, knowing what to do and who to trust, isn't found in the world or in ourselves; it's found in the Word of God! The Bible is the literal words of God, so how could you not trust and follow the same words that brought life to the world and breath to your lungs?!?! In today's message, Pastor Mark will remind you that there is still time to obey God's Word and change your habits! You have an opportunity today, our nation has a chance today, to repent and turn back to the Lord! We get to choose what our future in eternity will look like by our choices today…so, will you choose God?

Whether you have kids or not, you influence some little one! Raising or helping to raise children according to the Word is vital! Parents have possibly the most important job of all! Biblical parenting is raising them in the ways of the Lord and showing them who Christ is through the Bible and through your own actions. In today's message, Pastor Mark will share a little about how he raises his daughters to know the Lord, and he sets the example of spending time in the Word with God! Today is your opportunity to have faith like a child and share the Word of God with your children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews!

Happy Father's Day! In order to honor and celebrate the dads this week, Pastor Mark takes a break from Back To The Basics and teaches through Genesis 25:19-34. Let's dive in together! If you like what you hear or want to learn more, visit us at hopeinanderson.com

Pastor Mark continues in this series, THRESHOLDS, by exploring an important passage in Exodus 3. Here we discover an unexpected threshold in Moses' life. It is marked by a burning bush, God's sacred name and a promise to return to the mountain. Exodus 3:1-12 www.thevineaustin.org

This Father's Day, Pastor Mark shares from 1 John 3, Ephesians 3, and Psalms 91 about the love God has for us as our Heavenly Father. When you understand how deeply and completely God loves you, it changes everything. You stop running from him and start running to him. You stop striving and start trusting. Because the same love the Father has for Jesus, he has for you.

Daniel 9:1-19

Father's Day can bring up a lot of feelings — joy, grief, complicated memories, or longing. In this heartfelt message, Pastor Mark explores what it truly means to have a Heavenly Father whose heart is always good. Drawing from Scripture, he unpacks six powerful qualities of God as Father: love, compassion, forgiveness, provision, discipline, and a heart that is always searching for you. No matter your experience with earthly fathers, your Heavenly Father is running toward you with open arms. If you've ever wondered whether God truly cares for you — this message is for you. #FathersDay #HeartOfTheFather #HeavenlyFather #GodsLove #NeighborhoodChurch #ComeHome #ForgivenessAndGrace #GodProvides #FathersDaySermon #JesusIsEnough

Thinking back to all the bad things we've done can be overwhelming. It's impossible for us to even recall everything, let alone pick out what was good enough to outweigh the bad; It's simply not possible in the sinful world we live in. No amount of good deeds we do can cancel out the bad in our wake. In today's message, Pastor Mark will share this seemingly devastating fact, while highlighting that, yes, our good deeds mean nothing, but the actions of Jesus on the cross mean everything! We are now washed clean, and the price of our record has been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ!

Can you imagine treading water for twenty hours?! Sometimes our lives can feel like we're constantly treading water and putting in all this effort for someone to come save us… It's exhausting! It's tiring to not know when rescue will come; It's tiring not knowing when you can simply rest for a few moments! In today's message, Pastor Mark will sympathize with you as you're feeling like you may want to give up. Pastor Mark will challenge you not to give up!! But to seek God, pray, and encourage others to just keep going! Keep your eyes on the Lord, and He will never let you sink!

With the direction that our nation is going right now, we're headed away from God. We can already see by the wars, the conflicts, and the overall disagreements that it's chaotic! In the center of all that craziness, we find sin. We can see the byproduct of not only our own sin, but the sin of our whole nation. In today's message, Pastor Mark will remind you that you're not to look towards the world or look like the world; you're to look like God, as should our nation! When everyone starts looking more like Jesus, that is where you'll see peace and unity among all the nations and people!

That scene from Acts 3 is more than a dramatic miracle story; it's a spotlight on Jesus Christ of Nazareth and a test of what we really believe about him. We talk through why Peter refuses credit, why the healing is immediate and public, and how God often uses ordinary faithfulness like showing up to pray to put us in the right place at the right time. We also pull back the curtain on our week away representing our church at the Southern Baptist Convention and why we see denominational partnership as a voluntary, mission-focused affiliation. From the Cooperative Program to the commissioning of missionaries sent to unreached and even hostile places, we share why “we can do more together” is not a slogan but a practical strategy for global missions, North American church planting, and relief efforts that meet real needs. The heart of the conversation turns to clarity: not every use of the word “Jesus” points to the same Jesus. We unpack Peter's bold claims about Jesus as the Holy and Righteous One and the Author of Life, why adding to Scripture or subtracting from Christ changes the gospel, and why fence-sitting is still a decision. We end with the beauty of repentance, the promise of sins being blotted out, and the deeper hope of salvation that holds steady even when circumstances don't change.

Maybe you're not as picky as needing certain M&M colors, but Christians can, unfortunately, be needy and sometimes demanding. We may not expect it, but we're not entitled to anything; everything we own, everything we are, even all our followers on social media, are God's and God's alone! In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you not to lose sight of what real Christianity is all about…serving! Remember that it's not about you…it's not the “Me show”, it's the God show!!! It's all about what Jesus has done for you and sharing that overflow of love to others in your everyday life!

Speaker: Mark Crull

This may sound like a tongue-twister, but…when we move from just knowing about God to actually knowing God, that is being known by God. There is more to religion and life than what you may expect; There is a real-life transformation when you have an intimate relationship with the God who knows you! In today's message, Pastor Mark will explain the vast differences between the religions of the world and the relationship that Jesus offers, called Christianity! Many people claim to be Christians because they're scared of hell, but declaring Jesus is Lord and creator of the universe is what real Christianity is!

In this brief update, Pastor Mark shares plans for his renewal leave from June 21 through August 3. During this season of rest, prayer, and renewal, there will be a temporary pause in podcast and YouTube episodes. Thank you for your prayers and support, and be sure to stay connected through the weekly worship livestreams and guest messages from First United Methodist Church of Cocoa Beach. Grace and peace, and see you in August! 

“Preparing the Way through the Next Generation”This week, as we kick off our latest series, Pono Church 2, Pastor Mark's exploration of 2 Corinthians 1 and 2 challenges us to shift our understanding of suffering. God doesn't shield us from it but uses it to shield us in Him. Like Shadrach in the fiery furnace, we encounter God within trials, not by escaping them. Paul addresses Corinthian dysfunction by returning them to the Gospel, where all of God's promises find their “yes and amen” in Christ.#NewHopeKailua #PastorMarkStinton #2026Sermon #OnlineChurch #ChurchOnline #ChurchInKailua #YouTube #YouTubeChannel #Subscribe #Sub #Follow #LikeIf this is your first time visiting us, we'd like to get to know you: https://bit.ly/nhk-connectSubscribe to receive our latest messages: https://bit.ly/nhk-sermonsTo support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://newhopekailua.org/givingSee what God can do through you.

Sunday, we focus again on Loving God and Cultivating Relationship with God.  It is the greatest commandment.  And as we know from the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, loving God is to live an 'inspiring' life.

Welcome back to the Hope Fellowship Podcast! In this teaching, Pastor Mark explores question two of the New City Catechism: "What is God?" Our summer series Back To The Basics will focus on strengthening the foundation of our belief by asking questions and revisiting the basic essentials of our faith.

Some people face unexpected challenges through raising a child with special needs, caring for a loved one, navigating mental illness, experiencing a health crisis, or watching their dreams slip away. In this message, Pastor Mark explores how God's grace meets us in the middle of life's disappointments and uncertainties.Whether you're a parent, grandparent, caregiver, spouse, or simply someone living with burdens you never expected, this message will encourage you to trust God in the life you have—not just the life you imagined.

From our sermon series "I AM: Who Jesus Is in His Own Words." Pastor Mark preaches from John 8:12-30, showing how Jesus' statement reveals Him as the fulfillment of God's promise to guide, sustain, and rescue His people from darkness.

"Going to Jesus" Pastor Kirk Havel We are blessed to have a series of guest preachers join us this summer to share sermons while Pastor Cogan is away on family leave. This is a great way to hear from a variety of voices while we have the opportunity. It's also a meaningful way to give Pastor Mark a break from doing all of the preaching, all of the time. Pastor Kirk Havel, Pastor Mark's father, was our first guest of the season.

Our Modern-Day Golden CalfJonah Series Introduction | June 14, 2026This week, Pastor Mark opened our new Jonah series by addressing a question that sits at the center of every believer's life: Who has authority over us?It's a question that affects far more than our church attendance or our Sunday morning worship. It impacts our spiritual growth, our relationship with God, our daily decisions, and ultimately our eternity.Pastor Mark pointed out that many Christians would enthusiastically respond "Amen!" when asked if they want to walk in God's power, experience healing, live in obedience, or hear God's voice more clearly. Yet there is often a disconnect between what we affirm in church and how we live throughout the week. The issue may not be that we don't know the truth. The issue may be whether we truly submit to it.Throughout Scripture, authority has always been a central issue. From the Garden of Eden to Jonah's rebellion, humanity has wrestled with the same question: Will we trust God's authority, or will we choose our own way?Jonah's story begins with a direct word from God. The problem wasn't that Jonah didn't hear God. The problem was that he didn't like what God said. Instead of submitting, he ran. Pastor Mark challenged us to recognize that we often face the same temptation. God has already spoken through His Word, yet many times we resist because His instructions conflict with our preferences, emotions, or plans.The sermon invited us to honestly evaluate whether we truly view God's Word as the final authority in our lives. If we did, our actions would reveal it. We would read Scripture to know it, study it to understand it, memorize it to share it, meditate on it to obey it, defend it rather than reshape it, and live it out without shame. Submission to God's Word would become more than intellectual agreement. It would become a lifestyle.Likewise, living under God's authority means yielding our will to His. It means following His plans instead of insisting on our own, responding to the Spirit rather than our flesh, listening to His voice above competing voices, and allowing Scripture to shape our moral compass instead of personal preference. It means viewing correction as spiritual guidance rather than a personal attack.Pastor Mark contrasted God's offer of truth with the world's offer of sin. God freely gives truth that leads to life, while the world continually markets alternatives that appeal to our desires but ultimately lead us away from Him.One of the most challenging portions of the message focused on why many people reject God's authority in the first place. The answer may be found in the nature of God's Word itself.Hebrews 4:12 describes God's Word as living, active, and sharper than a two-edged sword. It cuts. It exposes. It reveals motives and desires that we would often rather keep hidden. While we naturally seek comfort, control, safety, and independence, God's Word confronts those things. It shines light into places we would rather leave untouched.This is why many people resist inner healing. Instead of allowing God to expose wounds, struggles, and areas of brokenness, we convince ourselves that we're fine. We compare ourselves to others, dismiss our struggles as unimportant, or tell ourselves we've learned to live with them. Yet Scripture reminds us that nothing is hidden from God. Everything is already exposed before Him.The goal of exposure is not shame. The goal is healing.Pastor Mark challenged the common belief that we can hide parts of ourselves from God or manage our brokenness on our own. The hidden areas of our lives are often the very places where God desires to bring freedom and restoration. Refusing to acknowledge them only prolongs the struggle.This led into the central theme of the sermon: the modern-day golden calf.When we hear about idols in Scripture, it's easy to imagine carved statues or ancient acts of worship that seem distant from our lives. But Pastor Mark suggested that today's golden calf often looks much different.What if the idol isn't made of gold?What if the idol is ourselves?He challenged the congregation with the possibility that God's greatest rival in our lives may be our own desires, opinions, feelings, and self-will. While we may worship God with our lips on Sunday, we can spend the rest of the week crafting a version of life centered around ourselves.The comparison to King Nebuchadnezzar was powerful. We often marvel at the arrogance of a king who built a giant image of himself and demanded worship, yet we can do something remarkably similar when we elevate our own wisdom above God's and insist on living life according to our own terms.This deception is often difficult to recognize because deception, by definition, remains hidden until it is exposed.Pastor Mark encouraged everyone to ask a difficult question: Does what I praise God for on Sunday align with the way I live throughout the week?If we truly believe God is our provider, why do we so often place our trust in people before Him? If we truly believe His Word is true, why do we knowingly continue in patterns of sin? If we genuinely trust God, why do we so easily believe the lies of the enemy over the promises of Scripture?Many believers walk defeated not because God has abandoned them, but because they have chosen to trust voices other than His.Drawing from Hebrews 12, Pastor Mark warned against refusing to listen when God speaks. The people of Israel suffered consequences when they rejected God's message through earthly messengers. How much more serious is it to reject the One who speaks from heaven?The sermon then addressed one of the defining challenges of our culture: the elevation of feelings and emotions above truth. When individuals or entire societies become driven primarily by emotions, God can no longer function as an authority in their lives because truth becomes subject to personal preference.Looking at the life of Jesus, Pastor Mark pointed out that Christ never altered truth to accommodate feelings. He used Peter as a powerful example. Peter frequently approached Jesus with strong emotions, opinions, and reactions. Yet Jesus consistently responded with truth rather than emotional validation. Whether Peter was resisting Jesus washing his feet, objecting to Jesus' mission, or wrestling with failure after denying Christ, Jesus continually called him back to obedience, purpose, and truth.As the introduction to the Jonah series concluded, Pastor Mark brought everything back to the central issue that runs throughout Jonah's story and throughout human history.The issue is authority.The same question that surfaced in Eden remains before us today. Who gets the final say? God or us?When humanity rejects God's authority, we begin redefining the things He has already established. We place ourselves in the position of determining right and wrong, truth and error, purpose and identity. The farther we move from God's authority, the more confusion and brokenness we experience.Pastor Mark also referenced a recent survey indicating that a significant percentage of churchgoers trust artificial intelligence more than biblical preaching rooted in God's Word. While the statistic was startling, it underscored the larger point: every person is living under some form of authority. The question is whether that authority is God, culture, feelings, popular opinion, personal preference, technology, or self.The message ended with a challenge that every believer should carry into the coming weeks as we journey through Jonah together:What authority do you live under?Who are you submitted to?And perhaps most importantly:"God, what is on Your heart?"

The spiritual patterns we establish can have either a positive or negative effect on the people around us. Today on Bold Steps Weekend, Pastor Mark continues in Nehemiah chapter 13 with a message on this important topic.Become a Bold Partner Today: https://www.moodyradio.org/donateto/boldsteps-weekendSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

True restoration is something I think we all need in today's society. We all need forgiveness, new chances, and transformation in the name of Jesus! In today's message, Pastor Mark will teach the steps to restoration according to the Bible, and according to the story, you will hear about Samson! Step one: repent from your sin. Repentance means turning the other way. We must do a full 180 from our sin! Step two: allow God to humble you and make you new! Humility is a necessity when we're ministering and simply living life! We all need humility before the Lord, but true confidence in the Lord!

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

Samson made some poor choices, and he fell into some serious sin…and he paid a heavy price for it. While Samson was learning his lesson, he began to understand the weight of his sin, and he repented to God! He turned back to God, he trusted God, and guess what God did? God blessed Him more than before! In today's message, Pastor Mark will share that there is SO much that we can learn and identify with from the story of Samson's life. Even when we sin, we can ALWAYS turn back to God, we can ALWAYS repent! God will be waiting, He will forgive, and He will bless us and use our experience to bless others!!!

This sermon is the start of our series, "Building for the Next Generation." In this message, we learn how mothers have a profound influence in shaping their children's faith – but they were never meant to do it alone. Pastor Mark shares a vision for partnering with families to create spaces of belonging and spiritual growth as we step into a season of building for the next generation.

We all know that sin starts as fun. Sin is a quick shot of dopamine, it's a fast hit of satisfaction, it's what you want…right now. But as we all know, that feeling, that satisfaction, ends, and it ends quickly!!! Sin is a fun time until we try to stop. That limited enjoyment depletes quickly!! In today's message, Pastor Mark will highlight the story of Samson and how he was blindsided by the repercussions of his actions; He was surprised by the toll it had on him and his life. Sin was a literal prison for Samson; don't let your desire for quick satisfaction be your prison!!!

Samson is one of my favorite examples that God gave us to understand how sin can conquer even the strongest people. No one is immune to sin, but followers of Christ have a secret weapon against sin…do you wanna know what it is? It is Christ! With God giving you your strength, you can conquer your sin! In today's message, Pastor Mark will remind you of your secret weapon: the power, strength, and endurance that the Holy Spirit gives! Jesus defeated death, and He defeated sin…so live like that is true in your life…because it is! You have ALL power over ALL sin through the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

It's hard to read the story of Samson and Delilah and not be amazed at the incredible recklessness of Samson.  How could Samson tell Delilah the means by which she could kill him?  WHY would he do such a thing???  Surely you wouldn't be so brazen in the face of obvious destruction… would you? The answer, according to Pastor Mark today, lies in the alluring power of sin.  You may think you can flirt with sin, and then step back before it gets a hold of you.  You might even do some things and be saved from the consequences a few times.  But at some point, as with Samson, your ability to escape will be depleted.
