The Gospel of Mark | The Gift of Jesus' Death

This weekend, we were honored to welcome back Pastor Jeff Phillips, our Congregation Pastor of Hope Church Henderson. He preached from Mark 15:33-41, the death of Jesus. We reflected on what the death of Jesus reveals and the gifts His sacrifice gives us. Jesus died to pay the penalty of our sin so that we wouldn’t have to. He was forsaken so that we could be forgiven, punished so that we could be pardoned—and He took our righteousness and gave us His righteousness. Oh what a Savior! Check out this sermon to learn more.

The Gospel of Mark | Jesus, Pilate, Barabbas, and You

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preaches from Mark 15:1–15, where Jesus is delivered to Pilate, Barabbas is released, and Jesus is handed over to be crucified.   Barabbas was a wicked, guilty, and condemned man—yet the crowd chose to set him free and crucify Jesus, the innocent and righteous one, in his place. As followers of Jesus, we must recognize that Barabbas is a reflection of us. We were the guilty ones, and Jesus, the righteous one, became our substitute. That’s the good news of the gospel. May we take the time to sit and reflect upon what Jesus has done for us.   Watch this sermon to learn more!

Marked by Prayer Week 2: Then God Works

In this sermon, Pastor Trenton Dorner preaches from Matthew 7:7–11. At Hope Church, we believe that we don’t pray before we work, prayer is the work, and then God works. In Week 1 of Marked by Prayer, we learned that prayer is our part. This week, we explored several ways God works in response to our prayers. We also tackled questions like: • Why haven’t I received what I’ve been praying for? • Why doesn’t God always respond quickly? • Do I even need to pray if God already knows what I need? Check out this sermon to learn more!

The Gospel of Mark | Peter Denies Jesus

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preaches from Mark 14:66–72, where Peter denies Jesus. The Jesus that Peter was experiencing was different than the Jesus that Peter wanted, and that led him to deny knowing Him. Unfortunately, we see this still happening today where many follow a version of Jesus they hope will bring success or fulfill their dreams, but when He doesn’t, they, like Peter, may say, “I don’t know that man.” Peter’s story invites us to ask: Am I following Jesus for who He truly is, or for who I want Him to be? Watch the full sermon to dive deeper.
