An Introduction to the Gospel of Mark – Part One

This week’s message introduces the Gospel according to John Mark. Pastor Pete will give some historical background on how we got our English Bible and how we can know its accuracy and reliability as being God breathed. An overview presentation of the book will include a description of Mark: the time, style, theme, scope and emphasis on Christ throughout the second gospel of the New Testament.



Three Coffins; Three Tombstones

This is the last message in Pastor Pete’s Series on Genesis. From 2/2005 – 12/2005 Pastor Pete preached through the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis. From 9/2009 to the present Pastor Pete has been off and on teaching in the book of Genesis from chapters 12-50. In this time we’ve looked at the Patriarchal record of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph and have discovered the beginnings of faith in the nature and character of God. In this 88th message Pastor shares the concluding thoughts on the deaths of Jacob and Joseph and the parallel between Adam’s death and its implications to all of humanity and the death, burial and resurrection of the second Adam: Jesus Christ and what His death wrought for all of mankind. We need not fear death. The last enemy to be destroyed will be death and the grave. One day even sin will be put to death once and for all. The good news Gospel message for everyone is that because of Christ we can be assured of not having to die that second death and gain an assurance of life everlasting with Christ.

Part Six: The Amazing Power of True Forgiveness – What True and Authentic Forgiveness Looks Like: Celebration/Illustration

Pastor Pete will help us discover the amazing power of true and authentic forgiveness as we move from confrontation to confession; from confession to confirmation and compassion; from compassion to celebration and illustration of what God has done through your forgiving and being forgiven.



I Say “Yes, Lord!” Yes to the Extravagance of Christ

In this message Pastor Pete wraps up the YES LORD stewardship series with a look at the extravagance of Christ Himself who gave Himself completely for us in pointing all of creation to the glory and majesty of God Himself. A comparison is given between the rich young ruler and the widow who gave all she had. Both, most likely were lost. One withheld all he had and was bankrupt spiritually the other gave all she had and most likely was also bankrupt spiritually. Listen to the tragedy of wasting your life when we have the privilege and opportunity to invest our lives for eternity. We need to say, NO to the poverty of riches and say YES to the riches of poverty. Scriptural support is taken from Mark’s gospel chapter 10:17-13:4.
