In this sermon, Pastor Zack continues our verse-by-verse study of the Gospel of Mark by looking at a series of three parables by Jesus concerning the kingdom of God in Mark 4:21-34. In these parables, Jesus reminds us that the Kingdom’s light will not be hidden, its growth will not be stopped, and its scope […]
In this sermon, Pastor Zack continues our verse-by-verse study of the Gospel of Mark by looking at Jesus’ parable of the sower in Mark 4:1-20. In this familiar parable, Jesus teaches us why the same Word is received differently by different people. And by examining these different responses (soils), we are able to examine our […]
In this sermon, Pastor Zack continues our study of 1 Thessalonians by looking at 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12. As Paul continues this section laying out for us how we as God’s children are to walk and to live lives pleasing to God, he now turns to the topic of brotherly love. In this sermon, Pastor Zack […]

In this sermon, Pastor Zack continues our study of 1 Thessalonians 1:6-10 and a life worth imitating.

As Paul turns his attention to this topic of grumbling and complaining in Philippians 2:14-18, Pastor Zack shows us that God is […]
In this sermon, Pastor Zack looks at Paul’s update concerning his situation in Philippians 1:12-18a. While the Philippians Church would have doubtlessly been looking forward to an update on what is going on with Paul, the Apostle spends very little time focusing on his situation. Instead, he is preoccupied with what his sufferings have accomplished […]

Each and every one of God’s people are called to the ministry in some capacity. The biblical commands to evangelism, discipleship, and service in the local church are clear. The question for us, then, is how do we persevere in that ministry for the long haul? How can we be a good steward of the […]
