The Covenant Community | Deuteronomy 7:6-9 & Hebrews 8:6-13 | United in Christ, Secured by Promise
When we think of memberships today, we often think of cards in our wallet or apps on our phone—things that can expire if we miss a payment or fail to keep up. But God’s covenant community is entirely different. Belonging to Him isn’t a subscription we manage or a benefit program we maintain. It is His gracious claim on us through Christ, an eternal promise written on our hearts.
Not By Bread Alone | Matthew 4:1-11 | 5 Devotions on The Necessity of God’s Word
In a world where we constantly seek physical nourishment, the Bible reminds us that spiritual sustenance is just as vital. This week, as we journey through these devotions, we reflect on how God's Word sustains, guards, transforms, delights, and grounds us in faith. From Jesus' use of Scripture in His temptation to the psalmist's joy in God's commands, we are invited to experience the power of God's Word as the foundation of our lives. May these devotions deepen your relationship with Scripture and remind you of the daily strength found in God’s truth.
📢 These devotions are based on the sermon from September 29, 2024. Watch the full message here: Not By Bread Alone
Not By Bread Alone: Matthew 4:1-11 | Nourished by the Word
What sustains you in times of weakness? Where do you turn when temptation comes? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Mark opens Matthew 4 to show us how Jesus, in the wilderness, faced the very temptations we do—but instead of leaning on His own strength, He wielded the Word of God.
Drawing from both Matthew 4 and Deuteronomy 8, we see that Scripture is not just informative, it's nourishing and essential. Like daily bread, it feeds our souls and fortifies us for faithful living. We are challenged not to treat the Bible as an optional supplement but as our spiritual lifeline.
A Lamp Unto My Feet | Psalm 119:105-112 | 5 Devotions on the Clarity of Scripture
Day 1: God's Word Is Accessible
Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 30:11-14
Reflection: God's Word is not hidden or out of reach—it is near, knowable, and written for us to understand. Just as Moses reminded Israel that God’s commands were not too difficult to grasp, we are also invited to engage with Scripture, trusting that God wants us to know Him and His will.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for making Your Word accessible to us. Help me to engage with it daily and to understand the truths You have for my life. Amen.
A Lamp Unto My Feet: Psalm 119:105–112 | Letting God's Word Light the Way
Is the Bible too hard to understand? In a world full of conflicting voices and endless confusion, it's easy to wonder whether we can actually hear and understand what God is saying. In this third sermon in the Words of Life series, Pastor Mark preaches from Psalm 119 and other passages to show us that God's Word is not only trustworthy—it’s clear, accessible, and life-giving.
Everything We Need | Romans 10:5-17 | God's Word Is Enough for Life and Worship
What makes something truly enough? In a culture of endless upgrades, add-ons, and spiritual shortcuts, it can be hard to believe that anything is truly sufficient. But Scripture declares otherwise. The Word of God is not only authoritative—it is complete. In this second sermon from our Words of Life series, Pastor Mark helps us see that we don’t need to add anything to God’s Word to be saved, to live a holy life, or to worship in a way that honors Him.
The Final Word | Deuteronomy 6:4–9 & 2 Timothy 3:1–16 | Hearing God Above the Noise
In a world filled with competing voices, how do we know which one to trust? Is there a voice that speaks above the noise with true authority? In this first sermon from our Words of Life series, Pastor Mark opens Scripture to help us see that the Bible is not just one voice among many—it is the voice of God. Preaching from Deuteronomy 6 and 2 Timothy 3, this message explores how the Word of God speaks clearly, powerfully, and authoritatively into every area of life. In a time when noise is everywhere, the people of God need to be shaped and directed by His Word more than ever.
