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? 

If you're a Christian, there's a point in time when you made a decision to follow the Lord. You were dead in your sins, and then instantly you were saved. This is the miracle of Christianity and the outcome of Jesus' death on the cross for you. You had no way to save yourself, and so God made a way! Today, Pastor Mark encourages you that being broken before the Lord is essential for empathy. If you haven't embraced your need for a Savior and the reality that you're a sinner, how can you share the Gospel with any conviction? You need to embrace the depth of your need, then you will be a powerful example to others.

Pastor Mark continued with the series on the things that hinder our relationship with our Father and Yeshua.

Concluding our deep dive into the book of Revelation, we arrive at Chapter 21, where the New Covenant is fully realized. Pastor Mark explains why the "new heaven and new earth" means the curse is reversed and suffering is entirely abolished.This message focuses on the obsolescence of the Old Covenant. We explore the meaning of the New Jerusalem (the perfected Bride) and the profound statement: There is no Temple in the city! The Lamb is the Temple, the Light, and the guarantee of eternal access. Listen to find out why your final hope is not in a future geography, but in the permanent presence of Christ.

In today's message, Pastor Mark opens one of the most beloved verses in all of Scripture — John 3:16 — to reveal the breathtaking depth of God's love. Far from being a simple slogan of faith, this verse unveils a God whose love is richer, stronger, and more personal than we can imagine.Pastor Mark walks us through three powerful truths:God loves us in spite of His omniscience. He knows everything about us — every weakness, every failure — and yet His love remains unwavering.God loves us in spite of His omnipotence. With all power in His hands, He chooses compassion over condemnation, mercy over wrath. God loves us so we can join Him in His omnipresence. Through Christ, we are invited into His life, His presence, and His mission — not just someday, but right now. Tune in as we explore what it means to be fully known, fully seen, and fully loved by an all loving God.

Respect is a cornerstone; without it, things crumble. Today, Pastor Mark points to a troubling sign in America, echoing Israel's past. A nation straying from God shows it when even children disrespect those in authority, like parents or elders. God takes this seriously, making it one of His Ten Commandments. When children are cursing adults, it signals a deeper rebellion under God's judgment. Restoring respect starts with turning back to Him. God can renew a heart or a nation that honors what He values. It's a call to rebuild what's been lost. How can you foster respect in your life to reflect God's values?

Living righteously is like tending a garden; it takes effort to nurture what's good. Today, Pastor Mark delivers a bold call from Isaiah's message: Repent. America, its leaders, pastors, and each of us must turn from sin. Straying from God's Word demands a return to righteousness. Repentance isn't just regret; it's action. Learning to do good, seek justice, stand against oppressors, defend the fatherless, and plead for the widow. God can restore when you choose His path. This call echoes from Isaiah's start to finish. Turning back means caring for the vulnerable and doing what's right.

Pastor Mark Butler shares a message on the power of thankfulness and how a grateful heart positions us to receive the fullness of what God desires to do in our lives. Using the story of the ten lepers in Luke seventeen, he shows the difference between being cleansed and being made whole and how thanksgiving brings us into the place of wholeness, peace, and restored joy. Pastor Mark also challenges us to guard our hearts in a culture that is increasingly unthankful and to remember the faithfulness of God in every season. This message will stir your faith, renew your gratitude, and remind you that God is always working, even when you cannot see it.

God's sovereignty glorifies his mercy and justice; and humbles sinners to worship him.Pastor Mark navigates this challenging passage, and answers our common objections to election, and highlights how God is free to show mercy on whom he desires and the he is just to endure those he hardens and leave in their sin, and how these truths stand together with the truth that God freely invites everyone to believe in him. Preached on Nov. 12, 2025.

What does it look like when a nation faces God's judgment? In today's message, Pastor Mark draws parallels between Isaiah's time and America today. Just as Israel faced consequences for straying, America may be entering a season of divine judgment. These signs aren't hidden; they stand out clearly. God's judgment isn't about destruction but a call to turn back to Him. His correction aims to restore, not condemn. God can guide a nation or a heart back to righteousness. Facing judgment means facing His love, too. Staying faithful in such times keeps you anchored. How do you hold onto faith when judgment is near?

Diving in to sin... last week, we saw in Scripture the understanding of sin as the breaking of God's SHALOM.  God's command of love (of God and our neighbor) is broken everyday in multiple ways.  This week, we dive deeper into sin by exploring sin as missing the mark. 

Sharing faith can be like planting seeds in a garden you may never see bloom. In today's message, Pastor Mark reminds us that people coming to the Lord isn't a simple process. It could be years of prayers, conversations, and seeds planted by many. One plants, another waters, and someone else reaps the harvest.  When you share the gospel, you might plant a seed, water it, or see someone ready to receive the Lord. That's God's call, not yours. God can work through your efforts when they're guided by the Holy Spirit. Your job is to share and trust Him with the outcome. How do you stay faithful in planting seeds of faith?

Understanding Jesus is like piecing together a mosaic; every part matters. Today, Pastor Mark emphasizes that the Old Testament reveals the fullness of Jesus in the New Testament. You need the whole Bible to be a whole Christian. Leaving out any part of Scripture is like leaving out part of Jesus Himself. Some might say they doubt portions of the Bible, but that's questioning Jesus, the living Word. Every page points to Him, shaping a complete faith. God can open your eyes to see Jesus across all Scripture, not just the parts with His physical body. Choosing the whole Bible means choosing all of Jesus.

Faith in Healing

 Pastor Mark challenges us to choose calling over comfort. Based on Matthew 14, this sermon reminds us that true faith begins where comfort ends—and that the safest place to be is wherever Jesus is. 

God's kingdom transcends all constraints. As the supreme spiritual being and creator, He is not dependent on any of the commodities, such as time, space, and matter. He doesn't need more time, or more space, and He can work with nothing. His existence is eternal, exceeding the limitations of the material universe. God is not demanding our time. He is not asserting that we make space for Him, nor is He interested in our substance. He's looking for the faith that transcends natural thinking. The question is: Will we trust Him?

What can grow from the ashes of a shattered life? In today's message, Pastor Mark shares how God turned an island's ruin from a volcanic explosion into beauty. Your life might feel like it's exploded, leaving nothing but destruction. But God can take those very ashes and transform them into something amazing. You may think there's no way for restoration. But the ruin you see isn't the end; it's where God's work can begin. Like a master artist, He reshapes brokenness into beauty beyond your imagination. Trusting Him turns despair into hope. Do you see God working through your life's ruins to create something new?

Faith is like an anchor holding steady in a blinding storm. Today, Pastor Mark paints a vivid picture of Paul's ordeal, lost in a storm so fierce it blocked sight for 14 days. Panic set in; they tossed essential gear just to survive, fearing for their lives. Yet, even in that chaos, Paul was in the safest place - God's will. When you're where God calls you, no storm can destroy you. God can keep you secure, even when fear screams otherwise. It's not about calm seas but trusting His purpose in the tempest. His plan holds you through the worst. How do you find peace in God's will when life's storms rage around you?
