Every graduation speech asks the same question: how do you live a good life? In this sermon, Mark opens a summer series through the Psalms by unpacking Psalm 1's vision of the truly blessed life, and reveals why the answer isn't try harder but Jesus, the only person who ever lived it perfectly, cursed in our place so we could receive what we never deserved.

Every generation has a choice: preserve what they've built and lose it, or give it away and see it multiply. Troy Nesbitt closes the Awakening series by calling older leaders to use their influence, resources, and authority not to hold their ground, but to champion and empower the next generation for the kingdom of God.

40 million Americans have left the church in the last twenty-five years, and no one is replacing them, so what do we do with that? Mark puts the Awakening series in sobering context, walking through the history of revival to show that God tends to move most powerfully when things look the bleakest, and calls the church to respond with desperate prayer, personal holiness, and a willingness to go, give, and multiply.

For years, reaching the next generation felt like playing defense against a culture pulling them away from God, but something has shifted. Tony kicks off the Awakening series by pointing to a quiet revival happening among college students, sharing that ordinary people who have simply been with Jesus are still how God produces extraordinary change.

You can't take it with you, so what do you do with it? Mark closes the Seasons series by exploring how to steward your resources, relationships, and wisdom well in the final chapter of life.Download Resources: https://into.church/seasons-resources

Self-help can optimize your life, but biblical wisdom says the only way to truly live well is to start with God, not yourself. Mark launches a four-week series on seasons of life and focuses on ages 0–25, unpacking what it looks like to grow in wisdom through godly friendships, godly character, and a pursuit of marriage rooted in faith.Download Resources: https://into.church/seasons-resources

This Easter, we’re looking at one of Jesus’ most famous parables: the two lost sons and the Father who seeks out both of them. Whether you feel far from God or you’ve walked with him for years, this message is an invitation to come home. The Father’s house and his feast of joy is open to you.

You will stand before Jesus one day. The only question is: what happens next? In Mark’s sermon, we see that judgment is real, but every warning carries a glimmer of hope: an invitation to run to Christ while there’s still time.
