Messages by Brent Clark
A Time for Wonder
Join us as we conclude the Advent series with A Time for Wonder. Reflect on how childlike awe can re-enchant our lives and draw us closer to God. From the extraordinary acts of Jesus to finding beauty in the ordinary, discover how wonder opens our hearts to God’s presence. Let’s cultivate curiosity, slow down, and marvel at the breathtaking work of our Creator this season.
A Time for Revelation
Who is God, and does He want to be known? The practice of revelation is a crucial part of faith that we often miss. In this message, Pastor Brent invites us to humbly seek Jesus and His Kingdom this Advent season and each day of the year.
A Time for Trials
One would like to think the holiday season only brings merriment and joy, but most know that the Christmas season can also be full of trials. Listen as Pastor Brent shares a word of encouragement. Advent reminds us that in darkness and difficulty, we are not alone.
A Time for Renewal
Join Pastor Brent for the first message in our new Advent series, Wonder, as we reflect on how God offers renewal during the Christmas season. Isaiah 40 reminds us that God brings strength to the weary and restoration to the brokenhearted. As we enter this season of wonder, discover how waiting on the Lord and seeking His presence can bring true renewal to your life. Let this Christmas be a time of refreshing hope and transformation.
God’s Faithfulness in the Past and Provision for the Future
Celebrate Thanksgiving by reflecting on God’s goodness in the past and His provision for the future. Both Pastor Brent and Pastor Amy help us reflect on how God is working in our lives and community in this special service.
How We Fight
The weapons of the world are powerless in our spiritual battle. So, how should we fight? Listen as Pastor Brent shares about the importance of prayer, Scripture, and more in spiritual warfare.
Who We Are Fighting
The book of Ephesians tells us that “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). What does that mean and look like in everyday life? Knowing who our enemy is and where the real battle takes place greatly shapes how we fight.
What You Cannot See
Despite our rationalized, Western view of reasoning, there is more to the world than meets the eye. A spiritual battle rages around us; we choose how to respond to it.
Crossing the Starting & Finish Lines
Throughout the last few weeks, we’ve learned what it means to cross the line — with ourselves, into community, during conflict resolution, and ultimately into the world. In the race of life, we will encounter sin and struggles that may entangle the race marked out for us. The journey into emotional health involves learning to notice and name our emotions in the presence of God. What could be hindering you from running the race? What baggage might you be carrying…
Into the World
What should the church’s relationship look like with the world? As individuals, how should we interact with the people around us? The world longs to be seen, heard, and loved. As followers of Jesus, we have an opportunity to engage in the ministry of reconciliation with our community.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict is bound to happen, and how we deal with it matters. Listen as Pastor Brent shares what reconciliation can look like when we approach conflict with humility, love, vulnerability, and honesty. God doesn’t just want us to be reconciled with Himself; He also longs for reconciliation among His people.
How to Know Yourself
How do you know yourself? It’s a question that has many different answers, but perhaps it begins with knowing who you are in Christ: a child of divine love. Listen as Pastor Brent guides us in exploring both false and true identities, ultimately helping us know ourselves more deeply so we can know God more deeply.
