In this final message of our series, That You May Know, Pastor Marcus unpacks the bold assurance believers can have in Christ. Drawing from 1 John 5, he explores how knowing we have eternal life produces confidence in prayer, strengthens our love for others, and empowers us to live holy, truth-filled lives. It’s an invitation to move from uncertain faith to a steady, confident trust in the real Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Marco walks through 1 John 3–4 to reveal the marks of a true believer—someone who doesn’t make a practice of sin, lives with generosity, obeys God with joy, and is marked by genuine love for others. He challenges listeners to examine the evidence of their faith and reminds them that real transformation flows from this unshakable truth: God is love.

In this message, Pastor Marco speaks on seven reasons why we can believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and why it matters to each of us today.

In this message, Pastor Marco continues our series in 1 John as he unpacks how to identify false teaching. He then concludes the message by comparing five world religions and how they may speak of Jesus but teach a Jesus that is very different from the One in Scripture.

In this message, Pastor Marcus walks through 1 John 1:5–2:17, revealing how true fellowship with God is seen in a life of confession, obedience, and love. He contrasts the emptiness of relationships shaped by the world with the depth and connection found in Christ. Through Jesus, we’re invited to leave darkness behind and step into a life marked by truth and real fellowship.

In this message, Pastor Marco begins a new series through the book of 1 John entitled That You May Know. Looking at 1 John 1:1–4, he explores how the Christian faith is grounded in the real, historical person of Jesus Christ and that faith in Christ is not based on speculation, but on the reality of the One who was heard, seen, and touched.

Join us this week as Pastor Scott Volk brings us a message about God’s heart for Israel and His enduring covenant with His people. Through Scripture, we’ll explore what the Bible reveals about Israel’s role in God’s redemptive plan from the prophets to Jesus and Paul. Discover how believers today are called to pray, proclaim the gospel, and respond in faith.

In this message, Pastor Marco concludes the book of Ruth by showing how God finishes the story through Naomi, Ruth, and Obed. God heals what pain has marked, honors quiet faithfulness, and brings redemption that reaches beyond one generation. Ultimately, Ruth’s story points us to Jesus—the greater Redeemer, reminding us that even when God feels silent, He is still faithfully at work.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches from Ruth 4:1–12 and highlights the cost of redemption through Boaz’s faithful obedience at the city gate. The message shows how God’s will is revealed through decisive, responsible steps and how true redemption always requires sacrifice. Ultimately, the story of Ruth points to Jesus—the true Redeemer—who paid the full price at the cross and secured our future by grace.

In Trusting God’s Timing with Integrity, Pastor Marcus walks through Ruth chapter 3 to examine what faithful obedience looks like when compromise would be easier and faster. This message highlights courage, restraint, and godly character in unseen moments, showing how God works through obedience that honors Him and trusts His timing.

In this message, Pastor Marco continues the Ruth series by showing how God works quietly through ordinary obedience. Through Ruth’s faithfulness, we see that God’s providence is often hidden in everyday moments, His kindness is experienced through people, and His grace humbles us before it lifts us up. Even when God feels quiet, He is actively at work, guiding our steps and caring for His people.

In this message, Pastor Marco continues the Ruth series by examining the cost of covenant faith. Through Ruth’s decision to remain with Naomi, we see how pain reveals what we cling to, faith calls us to bind our lives to God, and true discipleship often requires sacrifice. Ultimately, this message points us to Jesus, whose covenant love invites us to remain faithful even when the future is uncertain.

Pastor Marco begins a new series in the book of Ruth by examining its opening tragedy. As Naomi experiences deep loss and growing bitterness, she does not abandon God but remains. This message encourages us to stay with God and trust Him even when He feels distant and life doesn’t make sense.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches from Acts 18, where Paul visits Corinth. Paul not only started new churches, he strengthened them by teaching God’s Word and empowering people for leadership around one mission. God still strengthens churches through faithful disciples who are willing to love, serve, and lay their lives down for the greater cause.

In this message, Pastor Marco explores how we can approach God in prayer when we face fear and the storms of life. Drawing from Mark 4:35–41, we are reminded that prayer doesn’t always remove the storm immediately, but it anchors us to Jesus—the One who has authority over every storm we face.
