Pastor Johnathan and Pastor Hunter sit down to recap the second sermon in our series titled "The Summer Of Slower". They discuss more on what it means to "stop for your life" and find sabbath rest.

In this special episode, we sit down with our Summer 2026 interns—Jake Trippe, Dylan LaPorte, and Sydney Skipper. Get to know each of them as they share about their backgrounds, interests, and what led them to serve at Mulder Church this summer. We also talk about what they're looking forward to in ministry and how our church family can be praying for them in the weeks ahead.

In a culture that constantly tells us to run harder, achieve more, and stay busy, God offers a surprising command: stop.In this message, Pastor Jonathan Hart explores the biblical gift of Sabbath and what it reveals about the heart of God. Looking at Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 5, the teachings of Jesus, and Hebrews 4, we discover that Sabbath is far more than taking a day off. It is a rhythm of freedom, trust, worship, and rest that God designed for human flourishing.Learn how Sabbath helps us resist the pressures of work, worry, and endless striving, remember our identity as God's children rather than slaves to productivity, and experience the deeper rest that is ultimately found in Jesus Christ.

Pastor Jonathan and Pastor Hunter sit down to recap the first sermon in our new series entitled "The Summer Of Slower". They discuss how they personally deal with the inner noise and what practicing silence and solitude looks like for them.

In Part 1 of The Summer of Slower series, Pastor Jonathan Hart explores Jesus' practice of withdrawing to "the quiet place" for prayer, silence, and solitude. Looking at passages from Mark and Luke, we discover that silence and solitude are not escapes from life but invitations into deeper communion with God.In a culture driven by hurry, noise, distraction, and endless activity, Jesus models a different way of living—one marked by peace, presence, attentiveness, and love. Drawing from Scripture, Christian spiritual tradition, and personal experiences, Pastor Jonathan challenges us to cultivate a "quiet place" where our souls can come home to God's presence.This message will encourage you to slow down, eliminate hurry, and rediscover that the Christian life is not primarily about good behavior—it's about being with God.#SilenceAndSolitude #TheQuietPlace #SummerOfSlower #ChristianLiving #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #Jesus #Faith #ChurchSermon #DevotionalLife #JohnMarkComer #RuthlessEliminationOfHurry #WithGodLife

What is the one trait every model Christian has?Many would point to biblical knowledge, strong convictions, ministry leadership, or spiritual gifts. But Jesus points to something deeper: loving your enemies.In this message, we wrestle with one of the hardest teachings in the Bible and ask some uncomfortable questions: Who are my enemies? Why does Jesus command us to love them? And how can we possibly do that in a world marked by division, conflict, and hurt?Discover how the Holy Spirit works through prayer, curiosity, forgiveness, and meaningful relationships to help us become the kind of people who reflect the heart of Christ—even toward those who oppose us.

What does it really mean to love your neighbor? In this sermon from Luke 10 and the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we explore how Jesus defines “neighbor” not as humanity in general, but as the people God has placed closest to us.This message challenges us to move beyond abstract love and become faithfully present in our homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and everyday interactions. We’ll look at why distant love is often easier than nearby love, how compassion requires attentiveness and availability, and why biblical love must also include healthy boundaries.Jesus doesn’t just ask, “Who is my neighbor?” — He calls us to become neighbors to others. And ultimately, the Good Samaritan points us to Christ Himself: the true and better Neighbor who came near to rescue us.

In this message, “What’s Our Part?”, we explore one of the most important questions of the Christian life: If God is working, what responsibility do we have?From Moses’ command to “choose life” in Deuteronomy, to Jesus’ call to build our lives on the rock, Scripture reveals that spiritual formation is not about perfectionism or passivity—it’s about partnership with God. Our choices shape who we become. Small daily decisions, repeated over time, form our character and direction. God works in us, but we are invited to respond. Not by earning grace, but by cooperating with it.We cannot do God’s part, and God will not do our part.But if we continue returning to Jesus—through surrender, obedience, repentance, and trust—He slowly forms us into the people we were created to be.

This message explores why the world feels like it’s unraveling, pointing to the biblical reality of broken systems, disordered desires, and spiritual opposition—but also to a deeper truth: creation isn’t just falling apart, it’s groaning toward restoration. Through Scripture, we’re reminded that even in chaos, God is at work bringing redemption, clarity, and hope through Christ. The world may feel unstable, but in Jesus, nothing is beyond restoration—and nothing can separate us from His love.
