We aren't saved by our obedience to the Law found in Scripture. If we could keep it perfectly, we could earn our place in God's presence, but as Pastor Mark will remind us in today's message, that simply isn't possible. So, if it's impossible to live by the Laws that God set in place, how can we ever be worthy to be in His presence? Are we doomed to a life of sin, separated from Him? …No, that's where Jesus comes into the picture. He died in our place as a perfect sacrifice once and for all. This doesn't mean we just throw away the Law, though – we're still called to live by it in loving obedience to our Savior. 

Today on Bold Steps Minute, Pastor Mark talks about how people say they will ask God questions when they see God in Heaven. Mark has a different idea of what may really happen when you are face to face.Become a Bold Partner Today: https://give.moodyradio.org/bsj?appeal=podcast&utm_source=bsm_podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_term=radioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you spot a guy covered in tattoos, it's easy to picture him as someone who might be a troublemaker. So, rather than chatting with that person or spreading the gospel, you'd probably choose to head in the opposite direction, wouldn't you? Have you ever thought that the story behind that guy's tattoos might be tied to his emotional pain and suffering? Today, Pastor Mark shares a heartfelt reminder: don't hesitate to connect with others, even if they seem indifferent. Many folks are going through tough times, and what they truly seek is that divine peace that only Jesus can provide. Share God's love with them!

Everyone has troubles.  But where can we get some comfort?  Paul says our comfort is found in 'the God of all comfort, who is the father of compassion and all comfort.  But there is more, not only am I comforted, but then I in turn can comfort others.

So, here's the thing: God gave Peter the green light to eat pork, which totally threw him for a loop! You see, he had been raised on the idea from the Old Testament that munching on unclean animals was a no-go. Quite the twist, right? Today, Pastor Mark dives into the intriguing reason why God gave Peter the green light to eat what was considered unclean. In the Old Testament, God had a special mission to keep the family line of the Messiah intact. He orchestrated everything just right to ensure that Jesus would emerge from a pure lineage. Once salvation became available, God lifted the restrictions He had previously set!

Sunday Night in the Word - Unshakeable Joy

Series: Unwrapping God's GiftsPastor Mark SmithJuly 27, 2025

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

The Father's grace provides us with complete forgiveness, thorough righteousness, and incomparable riches. The same God of grace has a purposeful plan for each of our lives. His plans may not move at the speed of light; nevertheless, they are in motion. However, there are times when His plans do move at the speed of light. Just ask the woman who had the issue of blood. She had spent twelve years attempting to find relief from anemia, fatigue, fragility, dizziness, and a weakened immune system. Like sand through an hourglass, so were the days of her life. But when she touched Jesus, the light of the world, faster than 186,282 miles per second, did God's creative abilities, infinite resources, and vast wisdom pour forth.  Was God applying the principles of triage to the multitude of sick people who thronged Jesus? No, He can work on everyone at the same time; His resources do not need rationing. However, Jesus was especially moved by the woman's faith; therefore, the grace that surpasses comprehension poured forth. Likewise, Ruth's grace manifested through her faith in Israel's God.

In this message Pastor Mark Francie shares a timely and prophetic word about the God of second chances. Drawing from Jonah chapter 3, Pastor Mark preaches with conviction and clarity about how God's mercy is bigger than our mistakes, how revival can still come to California, and how obedience and prayer can turn a generation back to God. From running to praying to proclaiming, this is a wake-up call to say YES to God's grace and step into His redemptive plan.

In this sermon, Pastor Mark Deering teaches on Revelation chapter 12, using a sports analogy to present it as a "scouting report" on Satan (identified as the dragon in the text). Pastor Mark analyzes the chapter through three sections that depict the woman representing God's people, the war in heaven resulting in Satan's expulsion to earth, and Satan's continued attacks on believers. He makes three key points: Satan is a master deceiver who misleads even faithful Christians through misconceptions about his power and nature, Satan has already decisively lost through Christ's cross victory and heavenly defeat, making believers victorious, and Satan actively targets Jesus' followers on earth. He concludes by urging us to recognize where we've been deceived, maintain a victorious rather than fearful posture, and remain aware of spiritual warfare while standing firm through prayer and community.

John 17:20-23Jesus prayed, “I ask not only on behalf of these but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” Artificial Intelligence is not your friend—it's the Tower of Babel. That was the title of the first article I saw this week while preparing for today. Another headline from a Jewish student paper read: AI: The Modern Tower of Babel. A theme was emerging. Faith publications and organizations are writing incessantly about AI and faith, the church, spirituality, and more. Then Pastor Mark told me to listen to a segment from 1A this week about AI and faith. It was fascinating—and a little frightening.I'll be honest, I thought I had pretty good job security against AI and robots… until I listened to that segment. I learned about Pastors.AI, a chatbot trained for a specific church using sermons and resources from real pastors. Meaning, you could upload all the videos and manuscripts from Pastor Mark's sermons over the past 24 years, and the chatbot would generate answers to questions, write sermons, and craft Bible studies—just like he would! You could have your own Pastor Mark in your pocket.Then there's Gloo—AI evangelism. Gloo claims it helps churches grow by tracking digital interactions, managing prayer requests, responding to texts, and making new connections.Entire denominations are diving into AI. If you're Catholic, you can't use just any faith-based AI, so you turn to Ask Father Justin. Apparently, a problem arose where some people preferred confessing to Father Justin instead of their priest. Imagine that… And it's not just Catholics who do AI.Episcopalians have Cathy—Church Answers That Help You. Right on the Diocese of Lexington's homepage, you can talk with Cathy and learn anything you want from the Episcopalian perspective.But what good is the church or denominations if you can just chat with Jesus yourself, AI Jesus that is? If you try that one let me know. So is AI a threat to the church? Or a tool to help it grow? Is it humans trying to become like God, or is it a resource that makes God more accessible? Is this software a reversal of Genesis 1 where we make God in our image, one chatbot at a time?Is it a new Tower of Babel—our attempt to code our way to God? How might this ancient story help us with such questions? More importantly, what might it tell us about Jesus?The Tower of Babel is mysterious. It's short, raises more questions than it answers, and isn't referenced anywhere else in the Bible. Like the other stories in Genesis 1–11, it's an origin story; one that tries to explain how different nations and languages came to be. Linguists agree though, this is not how languages came about. It much more complicated. As is this story. To read it as only an explanation of languages or cultures misses what all it reveals about God.It's also the origin story of Babylon. Thousands of years ago, Babylon made a major technological advance: the brick. They could take bricks, butter'em with bitumen, stack them on top of each other and build. So the people said, “Let's build a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves, or else we'll be scattered across the earth.” That one sentence is full of so much irony. The tower didn't reach heaven. In fact, God had to come down to earth just to see it. And when God finds it, God isn't pleased. Why exactly? We're not told. What we do know is that God confused their language and scattered all the people—the very thing they were trying to avoid.That question—why did God do this?—has led to many interpretations, some with harmful consequences.One interpretation says God scattered the people because mixing cultures, ethnicities, and languages is bad. That view has been used to justify segregation in this country and apartheid in South Africa.But I don't read this story as the scattering being a consequence or punishment. God said twice “to fill the earth and subdue”. Well you can't do that if people are all in one place. So scattering wasn't punishment - it was the plan. As were the different languages and ethnicities. Diversity was God's design from the start.Another view is that God is suspicious of cities. So, urban life must be prideful or ungodly, while small-town life is holier and safer. But that doesn't align with the broader biblical story. God called Jonah to Nineveh, a powerful city, because God cared for its people and animals. Jesus longed to gather Jerusalem under his wing. Revelation envisions a new heaven and earth—with a new Jerusalem at its center. God is not suspicious of cities, but is as present there as anywhere else in the world.And perhaps most pertinent today: some believe God scattered humanity because they were too advanced. Such a reading makes folks skeptical of scientific progress and technological advances like, well, Artificial Intelligence. But I don't think God was all that concerned about some bricks stacked a couple hundred feet in the air. Nor is God all that impressed with our towers of today: our advances, systems, or political structures. And I am pretty sure God isn't wringing hands over Artificial Intelligence like everyone else seems to be.What I think God is concerned about is any human attempt to work our way up to God, any effort to work out our own salvation. And we try all the time. We think: “If I just do enough good,” “If I go to church enough,” “If I text with AI Jesus,” or “complete my Bible AI devotional”—then I'll get to God. All our technological advances will undoubtedly do a lot of good. But if we think software can save us, it's no different than thinking a tower can take us to heaven. The tower never reaches. We can't code our way up to God.But the good news of our faith is that we don't have to go up to God because God came down to us in Jesus Christ. And through that person, that real, divine, tangible person, do we and all the world receive the grace and forgiveness we could never create for ourselves, no matter how advanced we get. Through that person, all the scattered people of the world might be one in him. That's what, or really who, holds this community together. We don't all hold the same views, or come from the same backgrounds, or see the world in the same way. Sometimes it probably seems like we aren't even speaking the same language. And yet, it is the grace and forgiveness and mercy of Jesus that binds us together as one.This A.I stuff isn't going away anytime soon. It certainly has it's dangers. At the same time it is a technological tool and the church has always engaged with these tools. When the printing press was invited, the church made tracts and pamphlets. When radio came around, preachers broadcasted their sermons across the airwaves. TVs gave rise to the televangelist. And today nearly everyone watches a service online before they ever step foot through our doors. So it should be no surprise that christians, churches, pastors, denominations, are using A.I. in all sorts of ways. But like any tool, it can be misused and lead to harm, like thinking it can somehow take us up to God, as an ancient tower once tried. Or that it can bring Jesus down to us. Yet it can't do that either, because Jesus came down and is here already. Here at the table where we get our fill of his forgiveness in bread and wine. Here in the waters of baptism where we are washed by his grace. Here in your neighbor, who reflects the very image of God. By his coming down to us, Jesus made his love tangible through these physical signs of his grace that he freely gives to us. And that's something A.I. can never give. Amen.

We're not called to blend in—we're called to live differently because of what Christ has done. In this sermon on 1 Peter 4:1–11, Pastor Mark challenges us to reject aimless living, live with eternity in view, and glorify God through faithful, purposeful lives.Want more?

In today's message entitled "What God Requires," Pastor Mark unpacks the familiar yet deeply challenging words of Micah 6:8: “Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” Are we living for God—or simply for ourselves? This sermon calls us to examine our hearts and embrace a life that reflects true righteousness: one marked by obedience to those ideas as required by God.

Picture this: you're sitting in the exam hall, and that one answer is just dancing on the tip of your tongue, teasing you to remember it. Even if you give it your all to recall the answer, what happens if it never crossed your path during your study sessions? You'll never see that answer coming! In the same way, you might want to reach out to God and have a little chat. So, do you take some time to dive into His Word? Today, Pastor Mark encourages you to get into the Word of God and spend some quality time with it. As you dive into your Bible and dedicate more time to prayer, you'll find that God begins to engage with you in wonderful ways!

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.

Today, Pastor Mark invites you to embrace spiritual flexibility in every aspect of your life!

Do you know how pessimistic people think? They always start by imagining the worst possible outcome in everything they tackle. So, when you're sending up a prayer for someone, how often do you feel like it's going to make a difference? You tend to assess things by observing the situation and imagining the worst-case scenario. It seems like your faith in God takes a blow during that time. Today, Pastor Mark is here to inspire you to strengthen your faith in Jesus. Why not shift your mindset? Instead of dwelling on the negative, embrace the power of prayer with confidence and faith, trusting that God knows the right step!

A soldier needs a bulletproof vest that's crafted from top-notch materials. If he's rocking a fake vest or none at all, that soldier's putting himself in serious danger, even from a less powerful weapon. Just like that, when you're out sharing the gospel, you might run into some pushback and rejection from folks you encounter. If you're feeling a bit spiritually and mentally fragile, it can really hit you hard when things go south. In today's message, Pastor Mark talks about the importance of having a strong will and a heart that's ready for anything. Even when rejection comes knocking, you can keep your faith strong and unwavering!

What To Do When You Fall Into Trouble - 6PM

Series: "Unwrapping God's Gifts"Pastor Mark SmithJuly 20, 2025

When we step out to serve and give—whether on the mission field or in everyday life—it's often we who walk away the most blessed. ABOUT THE MESSAGEIn Part 3 of the Impact series, Pastor Mark Stermer unpacks what Jesus meant when He said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35), reminding us that the greatest joy comes not from what we get, but from what we give. With stories from the mission field, personal examples, and the promises of Scripture, we're challenged to live a “pass it on” lifestyle—sacrificing for others and trusting that God will multiply the blessings in return. When we give our lives for the sake of the Gospel, we don't lose—it's then that we truly gain.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-pathsWHO 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.

What does it really mean to be a person of grace? In this powerful message from our series "What Disciples Do," Pastor Mark explores Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9–14) to reveal how easily pride and judgmentalism sneak into our hearts—even when we think we're being faithful.With honesty, humor, and deep spiritual insight, this sermon challenges us to lay down our self-righteousness, remember how much grace we've received, and extend that grace to others. True disciples don't live from ego—they live from mercy.Whether you've ever struggled with judgmental thoughts, been hurt by a judgmental church, or just long for a deeper experience of God's love and humility, this message is for you.

What if the thing holding you back isn't sin—but comfort? In this powerful message, Pastor Zion Rempel unpacks how God confronted Pharaoh's comfort, idols, and pride through the plagues—and how He still does the same today. Sometimes what feels safe is actually stealing your purpose. God's protection and power come through obedience, not convenience. Are you willing to surrender your comfort to step into your calling?SUBCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@2911Church?sub_confirmation=1FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/2911church/?hl=enLISTEN: https://pod.link/1456498714LEARN MORE: https://www.2911church.com/SUPPORT: https://2911church.churchcenter.com/givingJoin us live every week from 2911 Church in Tempe, AZ as we worship together, hear powerful teaching, and grow in faith as a community.

When you open a toolbox, do you expect to see twenty identical screwdrivers? Or would it make more sense to see a variety of tools, each one suited for a different kind of job? In the Kingdom of God, people with different talents and different gifts are assigned to all kinds of roles to accomplish the work of the Gospel. In today's message, Pastor Mark wants you to realize that comparison is a dangerous game. If you focus on how God is using other people around you, it can make you lose sight of the purpose that God has given specifically to you. You have a calling on your life that only you can fulfill.
