Wedding Wine

Jesus turns the water into wine. A miracle! Do miracles still happen today? We watch the pattern of dependence of Mary upon Jesus, a pattern we can also follow. We discover that God still gives gifts bigger and better than we could have ever hoped for.

Foundational Christ

We love salvation stories in our books and movies. Many point back to THE salvation story found in God's Word. In this week's talk from 1 Peter 1, we discover that God's salvation was not a plan "B." He created mankind even knowing the sacrifice required of God's Son. Join me as we celebrate the greatest story ever told.

065: God's Antidote To Fearing Your Future

It's completely natural for us to worry about our future because none of us know what the future holds. If we are Christ-followers, however, Psalm 23:6 gives us three great reasons that we shouldn't fear the future. God is watching over us. Grace is working in us. And Heaven is waiting for us! This week's podcast combines two week's sermons into one audio experience. I hope it is as helpful to you as it has been for me and our congregation at Church Requel.

Music for this week's podcast is "Heaven" by Salvador.

Follow Me

Jesus says, "Follow me," no matter how we have failed to follow in the past.  That's what G.R.A.C.E. is all about.  Join Pastor Mark Pierce of Church Requel for this Easter story of resurrection and restoration.

The Great Exchange

Christ-followers exchange their own self-righteousness for the righteousness of Christ. So why do we often live out our faith as if it depended upon us? Join Pastor Mark Pierce of Church Requel as we examine 7 key grace questions from Philippians 3:1-11.
