This is the reason Christians gather each and every week, but on this specific day, we celebrate with particular emphasis on the historical reality of Jesus as Resurrected & Conquering King!

Pastor Isaiah explains how Peter's confession of finally seeing the truth of who Jesus is challenges us as we consider the same question, "Who do you say that Jesus is?" 2390nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1607587https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1607587Sun, 02 Nov 2025 15:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 8:22-27, Jesus responds to the plight of a blind man who is brought to Him in very unexpected ways. Pastor Isaiah draws two key lessons from this text, challenging us to see Jesus as the God who may move in mysterious ways, but is always good, so we can grow in our faith by learning to trust Him and seek clearly spiritual sight as we navigate through even the challenges and struggles of this life.1824nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1614268https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1614268Sun, 26 Oct 2025 15:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 8:11-21, the Pharisees teach us a valuable lesson on the wrong way to approach God. After refusing to respond to their demands, Jesus took His disciples away and asked them the penetrating question, "Do you still not understand?" Pastor Isaiah shares two valuable lessons from this text before leading the church family in receiving the Lord's Supper. Preached 10/26/25.2543nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1614267https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1614267Sun, 19 Oct 2025 15:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 7:31-8:10, we see Jesus stepping beyond the borders of Israel into Gentile territory, revealing His compassion, power, and true identity as the Savior of the World. Pastor Isaiah explains how seeing the humility of the Canaanite woman, the healing of a deaf man, and the feeding of the Gentile crowd, shows us this truth: For those who respond to Jesus in humility, there are rich outpourings of grace, mercy, and power. Preached on 10/19/252227nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1614266https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1614266Sun, 28 Sep 2025 15:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 7:24-30, a most unlikely woman comes to Jesus and receives a most unlikely response. But her story reveals a powerful truth: it's not about what we deserve. While the proud demand, this woman simply seeks grace… and Jesus meets her with power and compassion. Pastor Isaiah challenges us to lay down entitlement, embrace humility, and come to the table not as owners, but as those who know even the crumbs from Jesus are more than enough!

Pastor Isaiah exorts us to consider our own lives and actions in light of the warning that Jesus gives and the promise of the power of the Gospel to change our internal state so that all our external actions can be true worship! Preached on 09/14/25.2332nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1576079https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1576079Sun, 07 Sep 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyMark 6:45-56 gives the account of what happened immediately following the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 men (plus women and children) on the hillside in Galilee. Pastor Isaiah preaches from this well-known story of Jesus walking on the water to reveal the depth of how Jesus was revealing Himself as the One True God - and challenges us to heed His life-changing declaration, "I am. Do not be afraid."

Pastor Isaiah explains how this text should challenge us to consider the cost of faithful discipleship, and to resolve to follow Christ boldly and stand couragously upon the Word of God today!1723nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1562640https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1562640Sun, 17 Aug 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyPastor Isaiah shares his reflections on the Scripture's teaching that Every Moment Matters. Through this Biblical framework, the challenge of the Lord to His people is made evident, calling us to see most clearly what really matters in life.2716nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1566256https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1566256Sun, 03 Aug 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 6:7–13, Jesus finally sends out the 12 disciples, fulfilling the intentional design He set in motion back in Mark 3! Pastor Isaiah explains that true discipleship isn’t just about being called; it’s about being with Jesus, being shaped by Him, and ultimately being sent by Him. 08/03/20252199nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1543328https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1543328Sun, 20 Jul 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyMark 5:21-43 continues to reveal how Jesus displayed His divine authority, demonstrating that He is God over nature, spiritual powers, disease, even death itself! Pastor Isaiah highlights how Jesus still possesses the same power today, and His presence in times of desperation remains just as real now as it was then.2266nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1541210https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1541210Sun, 13 Jul 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyMark 5:1-20 gives the powerful and striking encounter of Jesus' confrontation with a legion of demons that had possessed a man. Pastor Isaiah shares how, in a world where people either deny the supernatural or obsess over it, this passage cuts through both errors, declaring that Jesus has absolute power over the natural and supernatural, and reveals that He values even those who are broken and outcast!2347nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1534890https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1534890Sun, 06 Jul 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyMark 4:35–41 recounts for us a striking picture of the power of Jesus. Pastor Isaiah helps us see Christ as the Sovereign One, God Almighty, revealed through His rebuke of a literal storm on the Sea of Galilee as the wind, waves, and waters obey His voice. "Who then is this...?" He is our God!2647nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1532845https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1532845Sun, 29 Jun 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyFrom Mark 4:26-34, we explored two of Jesus’ parables about the Kingdom of God, teaching that even when results are slow or unseen, God is working. Pastor Isaiah explains the motivation, encouragement, strength, and increasing faith that should arise from understanding how God uses the smallest beginnings to establish His Kingdom, greater and larger than anything imaginable. 2396nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1526754https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1526754Sun, 22 Jun 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 4:21-25, Jesus reminds His listeners that no one lights a lamp just to hide it under a basket. The light is meant to be seen, just like the truth of the Gospel in our lives. Pastor Isaiah challenges followers of Jesus to understand that we are not called to hide our faith. We’re meant to boldly make His love, grace, and truth known to the world around us - this is the only proper way to live if we really hear what He is saying!2635nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1524873https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1524873Sun, 15 Jun 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 4:1-20, Jesus used a parable to teach that the Word of God is like seed, and the condition of our hearts determines the fruitfulness of what is produced. Pastor Isaiah explains that while some hearts are hard, shallow, or distracted by the world, others are "good soil," ready to receive and respond. The call of Christ is not just to hear the Word, but to receive it, reflect on it, and let it take root in order to produce lasting spiritual growth!3082nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1524670https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1524670Sun, 25 May 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyMark 3:22-30 reveals Jesus is stronger than Satan and all demonic powers, and gives a powerful warning against resisting and rejecting Christ in this life. Pastor Isaiah explains what Jesus warns about in "blaspheming against the Holy Spirit" and urges Christians to be people who regularly practice repentance and experience receiving forgiveness by Christ in this life!2487nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1524668https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1524668Sun, 18 May 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 3:20-21 & 31-35, we are told that even Jesus’ own family didn’t understand Him at first. Pastor Isaiah explains how this is comforting when so many of our family and friends may not understand us when we follow Him! Yet, the Good News is that the high cost of following Him leads to the overwhelming reward of being part of the family of God!1675nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1524665https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1524665Sun, 11 May 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 3:7-19, we see two contrasting ways to relate to Jesus.

While many may come to Jesus seeking what He can do for them, the greatest gift is being with Him.2277nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1500909https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1500909Sun, 04 May 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyThe Pharisees turned gifts from God into burdens. In Mark 2:23-3:6, Jesus confronts this over the gift of the Sabbath. Pastor Isaiah explains how the Sabbath is meant to benefit our souls in learning to trust His provision, His goodness, and His sovereignty. In a world that glorifies busy, God gives His people the gift of rest in this rhythm. 2376nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1495510https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1495510Sun, 27 Apr 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyMark 2:18-22 shows that Jesus didn’t come to patch up old religion - He brought something entirely new. Pastor Isaiah explains that what the Pharisees missed in their day was the simple yet profound truth that Jesus brings joy to the hearts of sinners who encounter His grace. Responding properly to Jesus means being ready for the new that He intends to do in and through you!2277nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1489145https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1489145Sun, 20 Apr 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyOn Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate the victory of Jesus over sin and death!

Pastor Isaiah shares about how Jesus doesn’t just call the “righteous” - He calls sinners. Jesus enters into broken places, meets sinners where they are, and changes everything. As we go through this Holy Week, may God open opportunities for us to see many come to experience Jesus in this same way, too!1893nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1475862https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1475862Sun, 30 Mar 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyAt the end of Chapter 1, Mark tells us about a leper who approached Jesus in the early days of His ministry.

Not only does Jesus give sacrificially to serve others, but He also prioritizes prayer. Pastor Isaiah unpacks key principles to challenge believers to follow Christ's example and to receive the benefits of having a growing relationship with God through intentional time with Him.2467nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1467340https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1467340Sun, 16 Mar 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyIn Mark 1, we witness Jesus demonstrating His divine power and authority over both the natural and supernatural. He cast out demons, healed the sick, and displayed His dominion over all things. In today's world, many struggle to grasp this authority. Pastor Isaiah challenges us to consider: are we responding to Jesus' authority with awe and worship? Do we truly follow Him, not just know about Him?2545nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1460429https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1460429Sun, 02 Mar 2025 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyThe Bible sets the standard for faithful Christian ministry in all generations and places. Pastor Isaiah challenges us to see that just as Jesus called Simon, Andrew, James, and John to leave everything behind and follow Him, Jesus calls us to radical obedience, too. This means turning from the world’s way and following Christ wholeheartedly, no matter the cost!2364nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1454231https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1454231Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyMark's Gospel presents a fast-paced, focused account of who Jesus is and what He has done.

For a Christian, knowing these things gives us freedom to focus on the mission of God here in this life, no matter the cost!2201nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1296900https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1296900Sun, 05 May 2024 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyThe prayer of Daniel in chapter 9 of his letter is one of profound honesty and openness before God. Pastor Isaiah explains how the way that Daniel approaches confession and pleading for mercy presents a direct challenge to modern Christians who often settle for much shorter and far more shallow prayers in our own lives.2016nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1293441https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1293441Sun, 28 Apr 2024 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyFrom the first 3 verses of Daniel 9, Pastor Isaiah explains the actions that came from Daniel reading the Word of God given to Jeremiah, and how understanding revelation is always supposed to lead to response in our lives too!1721nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1293440https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1293440Sun, 28 Apr 2024 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyFrom the first 3 verses of Daniel 9, Pastor Isaiah explains the actions that came from Daniel reading the Word of God given to Jeremiah, and how understanding revelation is always supposed to lead to response in our lives too!1721nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1322341https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1322341Sun, 21 Apr 2024 14:00:00 GMTNelsonville AssemblyFrom Daniel 8, Pastor Isaiah preaches on the knowledge of God and what it means for Christians today.
