MISSIONS MONTH l Bless the Lord l Pastor Jamie Kemp

John 3:16 What if we’ve become so used to our faith that we’ve stopped noticing what God is doing around us? Jesus didn’t just come to teach us a new way. He came to announce a New Day. A day of forgiveness. A day of healing. A day of freedom. A day of reconciliation. A day of hope. And that’s what missions is: Announcing the New Day—not just with our words, but with our lives. Missions begins right here. In our homes. In our workplaces. In Jakarta. And wherever God calls us to go. Jesus loves Jakarta. Jesus loves the nations. And He’s invited us to be part of what He’s doing. Welcome to Missions Month at IES. Come change the world with us! Support the show

Face2Face l Something Beautiful l Pastor Jamie Kemp

Mark 14:1-11 What if the things that matter most in life can’t be measured by efficiency or ROI? In Mark 14, an unnamed woman walks into a room, breaks an expensive jar of perfume, and pours it all out on Jesus. The room saw a "waste," but Jesus saw something entirely different: worship, devotion, and love. He called it Kalos—intrinsically beautiful. We often hold back because we look at what we don't have (money, influence, or the right platform). But Jesus simply asks: What do you have in your hands? Whether you’re encouraging a friend, showing up for your family, extending forgiveness, or serving your community—you have the ability to create the good and the beautiful. She did what she could.

Face2Face | Paradoxical Faith l Pastor Jamie Kemp

Faith doesn’t have to be perfect to be real. In Mark 9, a father prays: “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” You can bring Jesus your faith, your doubts, your questions, and your struggles. The question isn’t, “Do you have perfect faith?” What are you going to do with the faith you have? Life Group Guide: https://bit.ly/life-group-guide Support the show

Face2Face l Turning Point l Pastor Jamie Kemp

When Jesus takes His disciples to Caesarea Philippi—the center of pagan worship and what was known as "the gates of hell"—He asks a defining question: "Who do you say I am?" In the middle of spiritual darkness, panic, and uncertainty, Jesus declares that He is building His church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. In a world full of opinions, noise, and circumstances we can't control, faith has to become personal. The god of panic does not get the final word because the Prince of Peace is here! You may not be able to control what is happening around you, but you can choose who is going to control what is happening within you.

Face2Face | Great to Great | Pastor Jeff Hartensveld

This weekend is a special moment in the life of IES as we celebrated the consecration of Pastor Jamie and Tasha. In his message, “From Great to Great,” Pastor Jeff spoke from Mark 2:18–22, using the transition from John the Baptist to Jesus to help us think about seasons of leadership and change. Transitions naturally invite comparison. We compare personalities, styles, methods, and what is new with what we have known before. But Pastor Jeff reminded us that different does not necessarily mean wrong. John had an important God-given assignment, and Jesus brought something different—not because what came before had no value, but because God was moving His purpose forward. Through Jesus’ picture of new wine and new wineskins, we were encouraged to embrace change while continuing to honor what God has already done. Styles and methods may change, but our purpose remains the same: to advance the Kingdom of God. As IES enters this new season under Pastor Jamie and Tasha’s leadership, Pastor Jeff encouraged us to be flexible, joyful, and mindful—honoring the past without expecting the future to look exactly the same. May we celebrate God’s faithfulness in every season and move forward together with faith, unity, and expectation for all that He still wants to do through IES. If you're leading a Life Group, we’ve prepared a discussion guide with a recap of last weekend’s message and questions to help guide your conversation. Support the show

Face2Face | Stretch Out Your Hand | Pastor Jamie Kemp

Read: Mark 3:1-6 You don't rest because you're tired; you rest so you don't grow tired. This is rooted in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus invites the weary and burdened to find rest. Jesus enters a synagogue on the Sabbath and encounters a man with a withered hand. While the religious leaders (Pharisees) are watching closely to trap Jesus for breaking Sabbath laws, Jesus sees a person in need. He commands the man to stand up, challenges the Pharisees' hard hearts, and heals him—prompting the religious leaders to plot against Him. The Sabbath was originally intended by God as a gift and a rhythm of trust (going back to creation and the Ten Commandments). Over time, religious traditions turned it into a burdensome list of rules, causing people to miss the miracle. True Sabbath means stopping our constant drive to produce, achieve, and control, acknowledging the reality: "God is God. I am not." Three Practical Rhythms: Divert Daily: Taking time every day (using the "Principle of the Firsts") to connect with God before distractions take over.Withdraw Weekly: Setting aside one full day a week for worship, rest, good food, and unplugging from digital distractions.Abandon Annually: Taking extended breaks (like vacations) to genuinely disconnect, rejuvenate, and create moments rather than just accumulating tasks.Just like Elijah in 1 Kings 19 who was exhausted and cared for by God, or the man told to stretch out his hand, Jesus invites us to stop living like a "closed fist" of control. We are called to open our hands, surrender our burdens, and receive the rest and care God has designed for us. Life Group Guide: https://bit.ly/life-group-guide Support the show

Face2Face | Fantastic Four | Pastor Steve Andres

This weekend at IES, we’re joined by Pastor Steve Andres as he takes us into Mark 2 and the story of a paralyzed man whose friends refused to let anything stand in the way of getting him to Jesus. In this message, we’re reminded of a surprising truth: people can be the problem, but people are also God’s solution. Our relationships require patience, forgiveness, generosity, and love but God uses ordinary people to carry one another toward Jesus. What kind of friend are we? Are we carrying someone’s mat, or are we becoming a barrier? And whose faith might God be asking us to stand in the gap for? Because real friends don’t just want to spend time with you they want to get you to Jesus. Support the show

Face2Face | Good News, Not Good Advice | Pastor Jamie Kemp

Face2Face (Week 1) l Good News, Not Good Advice l Mark 1:1, 16-20 Christianity isn’t about a self-help program or a list of rules—it’s about meeting a Person. In our brand new series, Face2Face, we are looking at how ordinary people met Jesus and were never the same again. When Jesus walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and called out to the fishermen, He wasn’t looking for perfection—He was looking for faithfulness in the ordinary. The incredible truth is that Jesus sees who we can become when we walk with Him. He doesn't just call you for who you are right now; He calls you for what He knows you can become through His grace. Have you had your "one day" encounter with Jesus yet? Life Group Guide: https://bit.ly/life-group-guide Support the show
