Grace: Read All About It!
This morning's message centers on the concept of grace as presented in 1 Corinthians 1:4-8. Pastor Mark begins by recapping the previous session about the Corinthian church, which was a diverse, multicultural congregation facing numerous challenges, including divisions, immorality, and confusion. He then delves into a detailed exploration of grace, presenting four main aspects: grace is free, grace enriches, grace supplies, and grace expunges. Throughout the message, he uses biblical references, personal reflections, and even shares a moving song to illustrate how God's grace works in believers' lives.

Love Outside of Our Minds
In this message, Pastor Mark introduces a new series on 1 Corinthians. He emphasizes that Corinth's cosmopolitan atmosphere included diverse religious beliefs and had a reputation for immorality, earning it the nickname "Sin City." He emphasizes that despite the Corinthian believers' moral failings, Paul addresses them as "sanctified in Christ Jesus" and "saints by calling."

"You Have to Have Confidence"
Pastor Mark Epperson focuses on the biblical message from Jeremiah chapter 9, exploring where people place their confidence. He discusses how confidence is connected to control, which ultimately stems from pride. His message contrasts "natural confidences" (wisdom, might, and riches) with "supernatural confidence" (understanding and knowing God). He emphasizes that while knowledge, abilities, and possessions can contribute to worldly success, they hold no significance in God's kingdom unless they are surrendered to Him.

The Encounter (Pt. 2)
Pastor Mark Epperson delivered a sermon continuing his teaching on the biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the Book of Daniel.

In his message, Pastor Mark Epperson delves into Daniel chapter 1 and introduces what he terms 'the encounter.' The message is an exploration of how believers, like Daniel and his friends, should respond when faced with pressure to compromise their faith. Pastor Mark's insights are invaluable, as he begins by reading Daniel 1, the story of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah (later renamed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego), who, despite being taken into Babylonian captivity, remained faithful to God, a testament to their unwavering commitment in the face of Cultural pressure.

"Are You Serving God, or Batting Your Lips"

In his message, Elder Michael Stalteri addresses two primary themes: the issue of complaining and the significance of servanthood in the Christian life. He begins by addressing how complaining has become a growing issue in his life, distinguishing between legitimate complaints expressed in prayer to God (as seen in biblical examples like Lamentations and Psalms) and sinful complaining that leads to a critical spirit. Michael challenges the congregation to examine their hearts for critical attitudes and to confess such thoughts quickly. The second part of the lecture focuses on servanthood, using the example of Katrina Carpenter and Jean's Angels ministry. Michael emphasizes that Jesus set the ultimate example of servanthood and that true Christian identity is expressed through serving others. He references numerous biblical passages to support the idea that ministry is essentially servanthood and that genuine service must be rooted in love rather than obligation.

Pastor Mark Epperson’s message focused on the Book of Philemon, and the relationships between Paul, Philemon, and Onesimus. He highlighted two main themes from the text: noticeable love and noticeable faith. He emphasized that Philemon's love was evident through others' testimonies, and true faith must be demonstrated through actions rather than mere words.
The discussion included practical applications, with Pastor Mark sharing personal experiences about listening skills, patience, and dealing with daily interruptions. He emphasized that Christ-like love should be visible in practical ways, such as serving others and putting others' interests first.
Pastor Mark concluded with important takeaway questions about encountering the life-changing Jesus and making a real difference in others' lives through faith and love.

In today’s message, Pastor Mark Epperson reflects on the heart of God as a compassionate, humble, joyful, and forgiving father. It discusses Luke 15 and the parable of the two sons, illustrating God's love for his children despite their imperfections. Key themes include:
• Compassion: God's profound love for and acceptance of his children, shown in the father's welcoming embrace of his returning son.
• Humility: God’s humility, evident in the father’s act of running to meet his son without pride or condemnation.
• Joy: God's joy in restoring lost relationships, demonstrated in celebrations for the lost sheep, coin, and son.
• Forgiveness: God’s willingness to forgive quickly, as shown by the father interrupting his son’s apology to restore him fully.
The sermon encourages believers to see themselves as always valued by God, even in disobedience, emphasizing the themes of grace and renewal.

"What the World Needs Now"
Regardless of whether you lean toward Jackie DeShannon's rendition or Dionne Warwick's interpretation, Pastor Mark Epperson asserts a profound message: the world needs now is love. But not just love, but a blend of love, grace, and truth. In his teaching, he emphasizes the importance of these three essential elements, illustrating how they serve as the foundation for meaningful relationships and lead to eternal life.

Pastor Epperson draws on the powerful imagery of Jesus as the Light of the World, a beacon that pierces the darkness to guides mankind along the way of righteousness.

"Five Prayer Points"
What should we pray for? In his thought-provoking message, Pastor Mark Epperson challenges us to deepen our prayer life by aligning our prayers with biblical principles. Drawing from the Gospel of Luke, he highlights five specific areas where our focus should be directed in prayer. Each area is designed to not only strengthen our relationship with God but also to reflect His will in our lives and the lives of those around us. By exploring these key themes, Pastor Epperson invites us to engage with prayer in a more meaningful and impactful way.
