What's Mastering You?

A lot of people ask, “How far is too far?” or “Where exactly is the line?” But that may already be the wrong question. In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul says, “I have the right to do anything, but I will not be mastered by anything.” The issue is not just what you are allowed to do. The deeper question is: What has started to own you? In this message, Pastor Mark talks about: • Why discipleship is more than figuring out how close you can get to the line • The difference between freedom and being mastered • How a desire can slowly become a ruler • Why not every desire deserves your yes • What spiritual maturity looks like when your appetites get loud • Three questions that expose what may be mastering you • Why stress reveals what you have trained yourself to trust • Why some habits need darkness to survive • Why real courage sometimes means running away • What Joseph teaches us about fleeing temptation • What David teaches us about running from responsibility • Why respectable masters are still masters • How shame can hide some forms of bondage while culture celebrates others • Why freedom is not ultimately about self-mastery • What it means to belong completely to Jesus You can be free to pick something up and not be free enough to put it down. That is mastery. The question is not: “Can I have it?” The question is: “Does it have me?” And sometimes freedom requires running. Joseph ran from temptation. David ran from his calling. One protected his calling by fleeing desire. The other protected his desire by fleeing responsibility. At some point, you have to run from the right thing. If comfort masters you, you will run from sacrifice. If fear masters you, you will run from obedience. If lust masters you, you will run from faithfulness. But if Christ is your Master, you will run from anything that keeps you from Him. And the gospel is not that you finally became strong enough to master yourself. The gospel is that Jesus bought you out of slavery to sin and made you His own. Your body belongs to Him because His body was given for you. His blood was poured out for the sin you tried to hide. So flee what wants to master you. Pursue the One who already gave Himself for you. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 Series: RUN TO WIN Message: Part 2, What Are You Running From?

How to Train for a Life That Looks Like Jesus

Everybody is running toward something, but are we running toward what really matters? In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul challenges us to live with purpose and discipline, choosing consistency over comfort as we become more like Jesus.

Heavy - Why You're So Tired

Life gets heavy in ways we don’t always know how to name. Sometimes it’s the weight of questions. Sometimes it’s the weight of resistance. And sometimes it’s the weight of exhaustion, when we’ve carried expectations and pain for far too long. In Matthew 11, Jesus meets people under the weight they are carrying. John the Baptist is in prison with honest questions, and Jesus responds by reminding him of what is true and publicly honoring his faithfulness. There are cities that have seen the works of Jesus but remain unchanged, showing us the danger of being close to God’s activity without surrendering to God’s authority. Then Jesus turns to the weary and burdened with one of the most beautiful invitations in Scripture: “Come to me…and I will give you rest.” Each week, we’ll look at a different weight people carry and discover that Jesus doesn’t simply expose what’s heavy. He invites us to come to Him, take His yoke, and find rest for our souls.

Hymns of the Heart - How to Let Go of Offense

We all have feelings, but our feelings don't always tell us the truth. At times we feel abandoned, offended, overwhelmed, anxious, or afraid. The question isn't whether we will feel these things, but what we will do with them. The Psalms teach us how to be honest with our feelings without walking away from faith. They give language to the things we often struggle to say and show us that God is not intimidated by our emotions. Each week, we will look at a different Psalm and a different feeling, discovering how God meets us in the middle of what we feel, and teaches us to worship through what we feel.
