What Now? | Pastor Mark Pearce

In moments of tragedy and uncertainty, believers are left asking the question: What now? Throughout history, God has used the sacrifice of martyrs to awaken hearts, advance His kingdom, and draw people closer to Him. From Stephen and Paul in the New Testament, to heroes of the faith like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jim Elliot, and modern-day martyrs, their stories remind us that faith in Jesus is worth everything.

In this message, we look at the example of the early disciples after Jesus’ death and resurrection, and discover three clear steps that still guide us today:

1. Wait on Him – Learn to trust God’s timing through prayer, worship, and fellowship.

2. Receive His Power – Be filled with the Holy Spirit for strength, courage, and boldness.

3. Go and Share – Live on mission, telling the world the Good News of Jesus.

No matter where you are in your faith journey—whether you’re grieving, seeking, or just beginning to follow Jesus—this message is a reminder that God has a plan, His Spirit is with us, and He is calling His church to rise.

🙏 If you’ve felt a pull toward God in this season, take the next step today.
