In his letter to the Philippian church, Paul praises the Philippians for the love they show in partnering with him for the sake of the Gospel. Pastor Glenn Lawson expounds on these few verses in Chapter 1, explaining this kind of love along with some practical do's and don'ts that will help you get closer to Jesus and learn to love His church.

In the first couple verses of Philippians, the apostle Paul calls himself a "servant" of Jesus Christ, and calls Jesus' followers "saints." As we begin a new sermon series on this epistle, Pastor Glenn Lawson helps us consider what it means to be a servant and a saint.

This Easter Sunday, Pastor Glenn Lawson preaches from chapter 16 of Mark when the women disciples discover the thing that proves Jesus' identity: The empty tomb after His crucifixion and death!

As we conclude this mini-series on "Marks of a True Disciple," Pastor Glenn Lawson uses the example of the woman who anoints Jesus with a very expensive perfume as a demonstration of the lavish worship disciples should express towards their Savior.

As Pastor Glenn Lawson examines the things Jesus teaches His disciples in Mark 13, we learn of the hope we have when Jesus returns. At the same time, we must remain mindful of false prophets and counterfeit signs and miracles.

As we continue this sermon series through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Glenn Lawson covers the text where Jesus enters the temple and chases out corruption. As the Apostle Paul explains in 1 Corinthians, Christians are now the temple where the Holy Spirit dwells. Glenn invites everyone to allow God to clear that temple of corruption and take up residence.

As Pastor Glenn Lawson continues preaching through the Gospel of Mark, we come to a section where Jesus tells His disciples about His upcoming death in service to humanity. Glenn preaches on an important point: Disciples of Jesus should follow His example by humbly denying self and serving others.

Pastor Glenn Lawson preaches through a section of Mark chapter 8, where Peter correctly calls Jesus the Messiah but then immediately rebukes Him when He explains the plan to redeem humanity. Jesus responds by telling Peter to set his mind on the things of God rather than on earthly things, and Glenn encourages us to take this to heart in our relationship with God.

Pastor Vaughn Perez preaches through chapter 6 of Mark, and asks an important question: Have you placed your faith and trust in Jesus, or are you only familiar with him?

Pastor Glenn Lawson preaches through the first part of Mark chapter 5, where two people who are desperate for help come to Jesus, who performs miracles after the world fails to help them.
