LIVING OUT YOUR FAITH WITH ACTIONS AND USING WORDS IF NEEDED
February 15, 2026
Dr. John P Marr

Is your faith a Sunday morning feeling or a Monday morning reality? This week, we dive into James’ practical challenge to stop merely "listening" to the Word and start "doing" it. From the way we handle a heated argument to how we care for the most vulnerable in our city, James reveals that true, pure religion isn't found in what we say—it’s found in how we serve. Join us as we learn to trade "useless" religion for a life of active, humble, and transformative faith.

James is telling us that trials are not God's way of crushing us; they are His way of "diamond-making." In this opening message, we explore how God uses the pressures of life to move us from spiritual infancy to maturity.

The Priority Shift into Contentment
February 1, 2026

What's actually at the top of your to-do list? Not what you say matters most—but what your calendar reveals about where your time, energy, and focus really go each day.

In Week 4 of our series, we're diving into Jesus' radical teaching on the connection between our priorities and our peace. Most of us live trapped in "The Anxiety Cycle"—constantly worrying about food, clothes, finances, and an uncertain tomorrow that hasn't even happened yet. The result? A restless soul that never feels satisfied, no matter how much we accumulate.

Finding Contentment in the Crucified Life
January 25, 2026
Dr. John P. Marr

Are you exhausted from trying to maintain a version of yourself that was never meant to survive? Most of us live stuck in the "Performance Trap"—believing our value equals our successes, morality, and reputation. We spend our days self-correcting, controlling outcomes, and trying to prove our worth to God and others. And yet, contentment remains elusive.

The Secret of Being Satisfied
January 18, 2026

We live in a culture designed to keep us wanting more. We are told that peace is found in the "next thing"—the next promotion, the next purchase, or the next change in circumstances. But what happens when life doesn't go according to plan? What happens when we find ourselves in a season of "want" rather than "plenty"?

In this message, we explore the Apostle Paul’s radical discovery from a prison cell: Contentment is not a destination; it’s a place connection. Paul reveals that the antidote to the fear of "not enough" isn't having more—it’s knowing the One who is more than enough.

The Power of Being Free

Join us as we learn how to distance ourselves from the trap of greed, anchor our security in God’s promise to never leave us, and boldly declare: "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid."

The Unchanging Source of Every Good Gift

In a world defined by "shifting shadows"—fickle emotions, unstable economies, and changing circumstances—it is easy to feel deceived by our pain, discouraged by our progress, or derailed by temptation. We often mistake the darkness of our trials for a change in God’s character.

Dr. John P. Marr

The Unfolding Mystery: What is That? Really?
December 14, 2025
Dr. John P. Marr

In todays Sermon, Joseph's initial concern upon learning of Mary's pregnancy and his faithful, obedient response to the angel's instruction in a dream. His obedience was crucial because by marrying Mary and naming the child, he legally secured Jesus's place in the Messianic line of David and acknowledged His mission to save people from their sins (Jesus: "The Lord saves").
