In this episode of Sermon Spotlight, we take a deeper dive into the message “From Fear to Faith”—part of our No More Fear: Living Life with the Living Savior series. Join Rose, Tim, and Cole as they unpack one of the most thought-provoking questions from the sermon: Is fear actually sin? This conversation doesn’t shy away from the tension. Instead, it leans into it—exploring the difference between emotion and response, the role of our thought patterns, and what it really looks like to trust God instead of trying to “fix” ourselves. Ultimately, this episode points us back to the hope of the resurrection—reminding us that we’re not just saved from something, but into a life of peace, rest, and growing trust in Christ.

What if the way the Gospel of Mark ends is actually meant to challenge you? In this episode of Sermon Spotlight, the team dives into one of the most unique—and unsettling—endings in Scripture: Gospel of Mark chapter 16. Why does it end in fear? And what does that mean for us today? As Fellowship Bible Church begins the new series No More Fear, this conversation explores the tension between fear and faith, the reliability of Scripture through textual criticism, and the life-changing power of the resurrection.

In this episode, we explore Mark 15 and reflect on the weight of Holy Week—unpacking powerful themes like the fulfillment of Psalm 22, the suffering of Christ, and the profound reality of substitution through Barabbas. Together, we wrestle with what Jesus endured, why it matters, and how it shapes the way we live today. As we reflect on the cross, we’re reminded: Jesus didn’t just die—He chose to suffer in our place. Take time this week to sit in the weight of what He has done—and let it draw you closer to Him.

This week on Sermon Spotlight, host Rose Lauck is joined by Abby Linaburg and Pastor Mark Carey to unpack a powerful follow-up to Mark 13. Building on Jesus’ teaching about His return in the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Mark led us to 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 — where Paul echoes the same themes of watchfulness, hope, and readiness. In a world filled with global tension and uncertainty, this conversation reminds us that Christ’s return is not meant to create fear — but confidence. Because Jesus died for us, we are not destined for wrath.Because He is coming again, we are called to stay awake.Because we belong to the day, we live differently.

This week on Sermon Spotlight, host Rose Lauck is joined by Pastor Tim Sanford and Cole McQuaid to reflect on a sermon that stepped slightly outside our journey through the Gospel of Mark — but not really. After studying Mark 12:41–44 (the widow’s offering), this episode continues exploring giving — not as a fundraising pitch, but as a lens for discipleship. Why does the topic of money come with so much baggage in the church? What does it mean to give out of grace rather than guilt? And how do we guard our hearts from both stinginess and over-giving? This conversation ultimately points back to grace: following Jesus isn’t about earning His favor. It’s about trusting Him to grow us — even in the messy, uncomfortable areas of discipleship.
