    July 26, 2026 Sermon

    In today's sermon, God Tests Your Faith, Pastor Mark walks through the life of Abraham in Hebrews 11:8–19, reminding us that faith is not merely something we profess—it is something God grows through testing. Using Abraham's journey as our example, Pastor Mark shows us four questions every believer will face and how faith responds to each one: The "Where?" Test – A believer follows where God is leading without knowing where.The "When?" Test – A believer waits for God's timing without knowing when.The "How?" Test – A believer expects God to do the impossible without knowing how.The "Why?" Test – A believer trusts God's purpose without knowing why.Each of these tests calls us to deeper trust in God's character rather than our own understanding. Like Abraham, we are invited to walk by faith, even when the path ahead is unclear and the answers we want have yet to come.

    July 19, 2026 Sermon

    In today's sermon, The Presence of God, Pastor Mark takes us to Exodus 33, where Moses makes one of the greatest requests in all of Scripture: "If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here." Through this powerful passage, we are reminded that God's people should never be content with simply going through the motions of religion. More than programs, plans, or accomplishments, we desperately need the presence of God. Pastor Mark challenges us to consider why we should fear losing God's presence. While God never abandons His children, churches can grieve the Holy Spirit and lose His evident blessing and power when there is persistent disobedience among God's people. A church can have full calendars, crowded buildings, and excellent ministries, yet still desperately need a fresh dependence on God's Spirit. This message calls every believer to examine their own heart and to seek God with humility, repentance, and obedience. It reminds us that the greatest blessing God gives us is not simply what He does for us—but that He is with us. Listen in and be encouraged to pursue the presence of God above everything else, knowing that apart from Him, we can accomplish nothing of eternal value.

    Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting Review - Part 2

    Jonathan is back with Part 2 of his recap from the Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting, and this time the conversation dives deeper into what makes Southern Baptists... well... Southern Baptists. In this episode, you'll hear about the surprisingly democratic process behind the Convention, how over 45,000 churches voluntarily cooperate together for the sake of the Great Commission, and why that cooperation matters far more than most people realize. Jonathan also shares the exciting news that one of First Baptist Church Big Spring's former ministers is now serving on an SBC committee. The episode also highlights one of the most encouraging moments of the week—the International Mission Board Sending Celebration, where missionaries are commissioned to take the gospel to the nations. And don't miss the unforgettable story of how God worked through a deaf pastor, reminding us that the gospel truly is for every tribe, tongue, people... and every language, spoken or signed. Along the way, Jonathan reflects on what it's like to be surrounded by 12,000 Southern Baptists at what is affectionately known as the world's largest business meeting. Imagine a church business meeting... then add about 11,900 people. Surprisingly, there was less arguing than Facebook or Twitter/X promised, more cooperation than the internet gives us credit for, and enough motions, microphones, and parliamentary procedure to make your local moderator tear up with joy. Whether you've never heard of the Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting or you've attended for years, this episode offers an encouraging look at how churches work together to advance the gospel—and why cooperation is still one of our greatest strengths.

    July 12, 2026 Sermon

    In today’s sermon, Running on Empty, Pastor Mark takes us to Jesus’ first recorded miracle at the wedding in Cana, where He transformed water into wine. More than a miracle of provision, this passage points us to the One who alone can fill the emptiness in our lives with lasting joy. Using John 2:1–11, Pastor Mark reminds us of four essential truths for every follower of Christ: Admit your need for joy. We all experience seasons where we feel empty, weary, or spiritually dry. Bring your need to Jesus. The answer to our deepest needs is not found in ourselves, but in the Savior. Do whatever Jesus tells you to do. Obedience is often the pathway through which God works in our lives. Commit yourself fully to Jesus. Real transformation begins when we trust Him completely and surrender every area of our lives. This message reminds us that Jesus doesn't simply meet our needs—He transforms our emptiness into something far greater than we could imagine. When we come to Him in faith and obedience, He fills our lives with the joy and hope that only He can provide.

    July 5, 2026 Sermon

    In today's sermon, Happy Birthday America, Pastor Mark turns our attention to one of the most familiar and often-quoted verses in Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:14. While this passage contains a powerful promise from God, Pastor Mark reminds us that it is fundamentally an "if/then" statement—a promise that includes both conditions and blessings. Through this message, we are challenged to examine the response God calls His people to make: Humble ourselves before Him. Pray with sincerity and dependence. Seek God's face above all else. Turn from our wicked ways and change how we live. Pastor Mark emphasizes that when God's people respond in obedience and seek Him according to His will, God promises to hear, forgive, and heal. This sermon is a timely reminder that spiritual renewal does not begin in governments or cultural movements—it begins in the hearts of God's people. As we reflect on God's faithfulness, may we recommit ourselves to humility, prayer, repentance, and wholehearted devotion to Him. Listen in and be challenged to seek God with your whole heart and trust His promises.
