Humans Cannot Be Alone | Genesis: Infinite Depth

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/09/08

This week, we’ll study Genesis 2:4-7, 15-25 under the theme “Humans Cannot Be Alone” in order to uncover God’s original design for humanity — our work, relationships, and purpose before sin entered the world. We’ll see how human marriage models God’s love and points us toward our ultimate union with Christ, shaping every relationship we have.SERIES SUMMARY:Our fall worship series will lead us through the Book of Genesis, arguably the most profound, insightful text in human history. Over this series,

God Remembers | Malachi 3

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/09/01

Malachi is the last Prophet we hear from in the Old Testament. He comes at a time when the people were falling further and further away from being the “Salt and Light” God called them to be. Malachi ("My Messenger") challenges the people to honor God properly in their worship and in their dealings with one another. The people could then come to know the Lord as their great king. God reminds us that he forgives, shows compassion, and remembers.How can we pray for you?tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill

He Saved Us. We Respond Appropriately. | Titus:...

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/08/25

This week, we will be studying Titus 3:1-11 under the theme “He Saved Us. We Respond Appropriately.” God’s people need reminders to do good. Our flesh doesn’t want to do good, and frankly, sometimes we do the "right things" but for very unhealthy reasons. Paul reminds Timothy to teach people to do good for the right reason.Series Summary:Titus is Paul’s no-nonsense blueprint for planting gospel-centered churches in hard places—starting with strong leadership and sound doctrine. Written to a young

Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel | Titus:...

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/08/18

This week, we’ll be studying Titus 2:1-15 under the theme “Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel.” In this chapter, the Apostle Paul charges believers to live in a way that makes “the teaching about God our Savior attractive”—showing that when the gospel transforms our hearts, it also shapes our lives in a way that makes Christ beautiful to the world. Paul’s instructions to older and younger men and women—even slaves—show that godly living isn’t about mere morality, but mission. Our daily conduct

The Qualifications of the Called | Titus: Christian...

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/08/11

This week’s message is based on Titus 1:5-9,The Qualifications of the Called. The Apostle Paul knew that the fledgling house churches in first-century Crete would never get off the ground without qualified leaders. But qualified church leaders don't grow on trees; they are forged in the fire of God's Spirit and formed by the power of God's Word. This week, we consider what God says qualifies a person to lead in his church.Series Summary:Titus is Paul’s no-nonsense blueprint for planting

Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good | Titus: Christian...

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/08/04

Our Scripture study this week comes from Titus 1:10-16. The Apostle Paul sent young Titus to shape up or ship out the nonsense going on in Crete. False teachers were twisting God’s Word for personal gain. Paul calls for such voices to be silenced. These false teachers may claim to know God, but their actions show otherwise. They are corrupt and unfit for doing good. As the church, we are called to remain grounded in the pure gospel.Series Summary:Titus is Paul’s no-nonsense blueprint for planting

Take Up Your Cross | Practicing the Way

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/07/28

This week we’ll study Luke 9:21-27 under the theme “Take Up Your Cross.” Jesus’ call to discipleship is startlingly clear: following Him requires daily self-denial and cross-bearing. We’ll explore what this means (and doesn’t mean), why the cost of refusing Him is far greater than the cost of obedience, and how this difficult path paradoxically leads to true freedom and joy.SERIES SUMMARY:This series is based on the best-selling Christian book,Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer. This work guides

How? A Rule of Life | Practicing the Way

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/07/21

This week, we will be studying Romans 12:1-5, where the Apostle Paul urges believers to offer themselves to God, to be transformed by the renewing of their minds, and to live humbly as interdependent members of Christ’s Body. John Mark Comer’sPracticing the Way, in the chapter titled “How? A Rule of Life,” builds on this vision by offering a practical framework. This “Rule of Life” is not rigid legalism, but intentional patterns and everyday rhythms that foster freedom in the believer’s life. Just

Do As He Did | Practicing the Way

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/07/14

This week we will be studying Ephesians 4:1-6 under the theme “Do As Jesus Did.” The Apostle Paul calls believers to live a life worthy of the divine calling they've received—a life marked by humility, patience, love, and unity. True spiritual maturity comes not by age but through intentional discipleship, learning to “do as He did” in every area of life.SERIES SUMMARY:This series is based on the best-selling Christian book,Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer. This work guides Christians toward

Become Like Him | Practicing the Way

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/07/07

This week, we will be studying 2 Peter 1:3-8 under the theme “Become Like Him.” As John Mark Comer writes, “You will never work harder for anything in your life than Christlike character, and nothing else will ever feel like such an unearned gift. This is a paradox you simply have to experience for yourself.” (Practicing The Way, pg. 111) Or, as Peter writes, "His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”

Be With Jesus | Practicing the Way

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/06/30

This week we’re studying Colossians 3:1-10 and letting it inform our reading of John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way, in which he encourages Christians to “apprentice" Jesus. As Paul said, “Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is.” Since our status before God is secure, we are to be aware of his presence, attentive to his voice, and refuse to allow anything to keep us from him. We are to live a life that is conducive to knowing and growing in him. Our

Apprentice to Jesus | Practicing the Way

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/06/23

THIS WEEK:This week, we will be studying 2 Timothy 2:1-9 under the theme “Apprentice to Jesus.” While the term “disciple” gets used frequently in Christianity, what exactly does it mean? Is there a distinction to be made between having faith in Jesus and being a disciple of Jesus? We’ll see how the term apprentice is a helpful illustration to consider as we think about how Jesus trains us to carry out his work in the world.SERIES SUMMARY:Thisseriesis based on the best-selling Christian

Walk Humbly with God | Juneteenth

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/06/16

On this Juneteenth celebration weekend, we reflect on Micah 6:6-8 and its call for justice, mercy, and humility before God. We examine the persistent issue of social injustice and the delusion of self-righteousness, emphasizing the need for repentance and reliance on God's grace. Through the lens of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s teachings, we are reminded of the transformative power of love and the Christian duty to uplift the marginalized of society.How can we pray for you

The Holy Spirit Still Shows His Power | O Church Arise

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/06/09

This weekend we conclude ourO Church Ariseseries with a celebration of the Day of Pentecost. The Pentecost account in Acts 2 is a thrilling story of how Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as he promised, and the Christian Church was born in an awesomely powerful way. Two thousand years later, Christians may wonder where all that power is today. Come and worship with us this weekend to consider just how powerfully the Spirit still acts today by filling us up with his Word and sending us out with his

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/06/02

This week, we will study Acts 1:1-11 under the theme “Ascension: Handing Over the Keys of Ministry to the Church.” Why did Jesus ascend into heaven? Wouldn’t it have been more beneficial for God’s Son to stay, work miracles, and convert everyone? Well….not according to him. This is for many reasons we’ll discuss, all related to the believer’s life purpose.SERIES SUMMARY:The Book of Acts is the story of the early Christian Church. For centuries after the first Easter, the Christian Church has studied

Platforming the Right Person | O Church Arise

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/05/26

This week, we will be studying Acts 14:8-20 under the theme “Platforming the Right Person.” Americans have a fascination with celebrity and an intoxication with talent. It destroys our relationship with God….and others. Paul and Barnabas would have none of it. Jesus is the only god who came down to earth in human form. No one else can hold a place of ultimate value in our lives.SERIES SUMMARY:The Book of Acts is the story of the early Christian Church. For centuries after the first Easter, the

Religious Discrimination | O Church Arise

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/05/19

This weekend, we’re studying Acts 11:1–18 under the theme “Religious Discrimination.” In this pivotal moment, Peter defends his mission to the Gentiles after God reveals that the Gospel breaks through ethnic and religious barriers—proving salvation is not by cultural conformity but by grace alone. We’ll see how God confronts human prejudice, expands our understanding of His grace, and calls us to reject man-made divisions in favor of His unifying Gospel.SERIES SUMMARY:The Book of Acts is the story

Strategic Ministry | O Church Arise

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/05/12

This week we will be studying Acts 6:1-7 under the theme “Strategic Ministry.” All of God’s people are called to service in his Body (the Church), but we’re not called to serve in the same ways. Each of God’s children is gifted for a role. When we don’t use our gifts to fill our role or we use our gifts in the wrong role, the Body suffers. Looking to Jesus as our Head, we find a way to troubleshoot problems in the Church by compassionately getting God’s people to serve in the right positions.SERIES

Healing in the Church's Shadow | O Church Arise

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/05/05

This week, we will be studying Acts 5:12-16 under the theme “Healing in the Church’s Shadow.” Undeniably, God worked miracles through the Apostles and the early Christian Church. Does he do the same today? This requires us to meditate on the nature of a miracle and see what role we play as a member of Jesus’ Body (i.e. the Church) today.Series Summary: The Book of Acts is the story of the early Christian Church. For centuries after the first Easter, the Christian Church has studied Acts. The logic

Christ is Our King

St Marcus MKE Sermons ·

2025/05/01

In studying Philippians 2:5-11, we examine Jesus' path of humility and ultimate exaltation, contrasting earthly leaders with His servant leadership. Discover how adopting Christ's mindset can transform relationships and lead us to serve others selflessly, reflecting His glory and majesty.Speaker: Seminarian Zach ThielHow can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you’d like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our
