God doesn’t change us by intensity, but by rhythm. Mark gives practical and biblical insight to help us align our lives with God's design through consistent weekly rhythms.

You won’t become more godly by wanting it more. You’ll become more godly by training differently, and in this sermon we’ll see how real spiritual growth is formed through daily habits, not momentary motivation.

When the blood of Jesus stops feeling precious, sin starts feeling casual. In his sermon from The Salt Company Conference, Zach reminds us that holiness flows from remembering what we were redeemed from and what we were redeemed with.

Gratitude is a response to God’s grace, not something we create on our own. In this end of year sermon, Steve unpacks where true gratitude comes from and how it naturally grows when our lives are shaped by grace.

The message of Christmas isn’t for perfect people; it’s for all people. The good news of Jesus meets us exactly where we are and invites every one of us to receive the Savior who came for us.

Can you still have great joy when God hasn’t answered yet? This sermon shows how, like Simeon and Anna, deep joy is found by holding onto God’s promises, worshiping while we wait, and refusing to walk through waiting seasons alone.

The message of Christianity isn’t good advice, but good news. Mark’s sermon calls us to see Christianity not as opinion or moral guidance, but as true historical news about Jesus that was prophesied, fulfilled, and requires a personal response of faith and allegiance.

In a thought-provoking discussion, the fear of the Lord is framed as a powerful antidote to all other fears. The podcast explores Mary's faith, contrasting it with Zechariah's doubt, illustrating how divine awe can inspire courage. An engaging analogy from 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' reminds us that while God is not safe, He is undeniably good. Listeners are encouraged to expand their view of God in the face of anxiety, culminating in a call to trust in His sovereign care.

Your glorification isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a settled reality in the courtroom of heaven. In the final sermon of the Gospel Promises series, Mark unpacks Romans 8:28–39 to show how God assures every believer that they will be glorified with Christ eternally.

Your grief over sin isn’t weakness. It’s the Holy Spirit at work. In this message from Romans 8, we learn that the promise of life in Christ is proved through a Spirit-empowered fight against sin—not to earn God’s love, but because we already belong to him as sons and daughters.
