Before the disciples became fishers of men, they were simply called to follow Jesus. And the same is true for us.

Jesus doesn’t wait for people to clean themselves up before He calls them. He meets sinners with grace and invites them into a transformed life. His call is simple yet profound: “Follow Me.”

No matter your past or where you find yourself today, His invitation is still open.

06/23/2026

"Follow me." Two simple words that carry a life-changing invitation. Jesus doesn’t call us to have everything figured out before we come to Him—He calls us to trust Him enough to take the next step.

Following Jesus means learning from Him, walking in His ways, and allowing Him to shape our hearts day by day. Wherever you are on your journey, His invitation still stands: “Follow Me.”

How is God calling you to follow Him today?

Are you waiting for the Kingdom of God… or are you already living in it?

In this week's message, we explore Jesus' powerful reminder that His Kingdom is already at work and that the call of every believer is to live ready—not by chasing signs, but by faithfully following Christ day by day.

The Day of Christ will reveal every heart. Until then, may we receive Him by faith, trust His reign, and live with our eyes fixed on His Kingdom.

Watch this week's sermon and be encouraged to walk faithfully in the ordinary, knowing that the King is already on the throne.

Jesus teaches something surprising: the Kingdom of God isn't merely a future event to anticipate—it's a present reality to receive by faith.

The question isn't whether Christ is reigning. The question is whether our hearts are aligned with Him today.

As you swipe through consider this: Are you waiting for unmistakable signs of the future kingdom, or are you faithfully following the King in the ordinary moments of everyday life?

It’s easy to get caught up searching for timelines, predictions, and visible evidence. But Jesus calls us to something greater: faithful obedience. The Kingdom is received by faith, and our focus should always be on the King.

Keep your eyes on Christ, trust His promises, and follow where He leads. ✝️

The Kingdom of God isn’t just something we’re waiting for—it’s already here. 👑

Jesus reigns today, even when we can’t always see it with our eyes. The call is to trust Him by faith, live under His rule now, and recognize that His Kingdom is at work in our hearts long before it is fully revealed.

Don’t wait for undeniable proof to believe. Receive the King today and walk in the hope of His reign.

“He’s not merely reigning over the entire world… He’s reigning over your heart.”

06/15/2026

The Pharisees were looking for a visible kingdom, but Jesus pointed them to something greater—His presence. God's kingdom isn't merely a future reality; it is breaking into the world wherever Christ reigns in the hearts of His people.

As believers, we are called to live as citizens of that kingdom today—trusting the King, following His ways, and reflecting His love to those around us.

What do you do with someone who is impossible to ignore?

In Mark 1, Jesus arrives on the scene speaking with authority unlike anyone the people had ever heard. His words carry weight. His power commands attention. Even the spiritual forces opposing Him recognize who He is.

The challenge of this passage isn't determining whether Jesus has authority.

The challenge is deciding how we will respond to it.

Will we treat Jesus as just another voice among many, or will we follow Him as King?

Watch this week's message as we explore how the authority of Christ confronts every person with a decision: observe from a distance or follow Him wholeheartedly.

Many people encountered Jesus.

Some were amazed.
Some were offended.
Some simply watched from a distance.

But no one could honestly ignore Him.

In Mark 1, Jesus speaks with an authority unlike anyone else. His words are backed by the power of God, His call changes lives, and even the demons recognize who He is.

The question Mark leaves us with isn't whether Jesus has authority.

The question is whether we will respond to it.

Swipe through and consider: Are you merely observing Jesus, or are you truly following Him?

06/03/2026

The disciples heard Jesus' call and followed.

The demons recognized Jesus' authority and obeyed.

Both submitted—but only one did so willingly.

Mark 1 reminds us that Jesus' authority isn't up for debate. The question is how we will respond to it. Will we trust His Word and follow, even when it means leaving behind what's familiar? Or will we resist until we have no other choice?

True discipleship begins with simple obedience.
