United We Stand | Pathway Church Pathway Church
What happens when God’s people choose to stand together?
In the first message of our new UNITED series, we explore the power and purpose of biblical unity through Psalm 133. Just like the towering redwood trees of California survive powerful storms because their roots are intertwined beneath the surface, we were never created to stand alone.
Unity is more than simply getting along—it unlocks spiritual authority, protects us from division, and strengthens us to fulfill the mission God has given us.
In this message, we discover:
• How unity unlocks exponential spiritual authority
• Why the enemy uses isolation, offense, and division to weaken believers
• How humility, forgiveness, and grace protect the unity of the church
• Why we are called to stand together around one Lord, one faith, and one mission
• How the church family can help us remain strong through life’s storms
You don’t have to carry your burdens alone. You were created to be connected—to pray together, stand together, and walk together as the body of Christ.
One can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand to flight.
When we stop fighting each other, refuse to let offense divide us, and lock arms around the mission of Jesus, we become stronger together.

Eagles, Buzzards, and Chickens | Apostolic Elder Gordon Barnes Pathway Church
Guest speaker Apostolic Elder Gordon Barnes brings a timeless message that is just as relevant today as when God first placed it on his heart.
Using the powerful illustration of eagles, buzzards, and chickens, Gordon challenges us to consider how we're living. Are we fluttering around with untapped potential like a chicken? Are we circling the failures of others like a buzzard? Or are we soaring like an eagle, rising above life's storms and helping others do the same?
Drawing from Isaiah 40, this message is a reminder that God has given every believer a purpose, strength for every season, and a church family to walk alongside us when life gets hard. Even when you've been wounded, discouraged, or feel like you've lost your ability to soar, God is faithful to restore what has been broken.
No matter where you find yourself today, this message will encourage you to trust God's plan, embrace His strength, and become the kind of believer who lifts others instead of tearing them down.

The Old Man is Dead | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What if one of the biggest misconceptions in Christianity is believing you're still defined by your old sinful nature?
In this message from our Free Indeed series, we explore what Scripture really says about your identity in Christ. Through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, God didn't simply improve your old life. He made you a completely new creation. The old is gone, and the new has come.
Together, we'll look at what it means to be crucified with Christ, why your identity is no longer rooted in your past, and how walking by the Spirit is about living from your new nature instead of old habits. If you've struggled with shame, guilt, or feeling like you'll never change, this message is a reminder that your freedom is found in who Jesus says you are, not in who you used to be.
The old man is dead. You have been made new. It's time to walk in the freedom Christ has already secured for you.
Thank you for joining us at Pathway Church. We pray this message strengthens your faith, reminds you of your identity in Christ, and encourages you to live every day in the freedom Jesus has already won for you.

Free to Choose | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Freedom is one of God's greatest gifts, but living in that freedom requires a daily choice.
In this message from our Free Indeed series, we discover that Jesus didn't just set us free from sin. He restored our ability to choose a life that honors Him. While salvation is a gift, walking in freedom means choosing to trust God, leave the past behind, recognize His voice, and obey Him even when it's difficult.
Through the stories of Israel, Naaman, the widow of Zarephath, and others, we'll see that breakthrough often comes on the other side of obedience. Whether you're battling old habits, fear, shame, or uncertainty, this message is a reminder that God has already made a way for you to live free.
Freedom isn't about going back to what's familiar. It's about choosing God's voice over every other voice and trusting Him one step at a time.
Thank you for joining us at Pathway Church. We pray this message encourages you to choose life, choose truth, and walk in the freedom Jesus has already won for you.

The Misunderstood Father | Bryon Wiebold Pathway Church
What is God really like?
Bryon Wiebold shares a powerful message at Pathway Church about the meaning of freedom and the hope we have in Christ. This service also included a special time honoring the veterans in our church.
For many people, our view of the Father has been shaped by hurt, disappointment, or misconceptions. Through Scripture, we take a fresh look at who God truly is and discover the heart of a loving Father who pursues, restores, and welcomes His children home.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, our prayer is that this message reminds you that you are deeply loved, fully known, and never beyond the reach of the Father's grace.
We pray this message encourages you and helps you take your next step in your walk with Jesus.

Free To Be | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we're reminded that while political freedom is a priceless gift, there is an even greater freedom found only in Jesus Christ.
In this message, we explore what Scripture teaches about living free indeed. Discover how God designed us for freedom, why truth is the foundation of lasting liberty, and how our freedom in Christ was never meant for self-indulgence but for serving others in love.
Through passages like Galatians 5, John 8, and Romans 6, we'll see that Jesus didn't just free us from sin, shame, and guilt. He set us free to walk in purpose, holiness, and unwavering hope.
Whether you're celebrating Independence Day or simply longing to experience the freedom only Christ can give, this message will encourage you to stand firm in the liberty He purchased for you.

The Father Is Waiting | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Have you ever wondered how God really sees you?
In Luke 15, Jesus shares three powerful parables that reveal the heart of our Heavenly Father. Through the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son, we discover three life-changing truths:
• You are precious.
• You are valuable.
• You are unique.
No matter how far you've wandered, how many mistakes you've made, or how unworthy you may feel, God's heart is still pursuing you. Jesus came personally to rescue you. The Holy Spirit is drawing you home. And the Father is watching and waiting with open arms.
This message is a reminder that you are not forgotten, overlooked, or beyond redemption. You are deeply loved by God, and He is calling you back into relationship with Him.
If you've been carrying shame, guilt, or distance from God, this message is for you.

Power Over Prison | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What do you do when life feels like a battle?
Writing from a Roman prison cell, chained to imperial guards, the Apostle Paul didn't focus on his limitations. Instead, he gave the Church a battle plan. In Ephesians 5 and 6, Paul teaches believers how to walk in integrity, live with purpose, build healthy relationships, and stand firm against spiritual opposition.
Before we can put on the armor of God, we must first learn to walk in the character of God. Paul challenges us to imitate Christ, live as children of light, redeem our time, and cultivate Christ-centered relationships. Then he reveals the reality of spiritual warfare and equips believers with the armor of God to stand strong in a world filled with confusion, anxiety, temptation, and spiritual attack.
In this message you'll discover:
• How to imitate God's character in everyday life
• Why Christians are called to be light in dark places
• How to redeem your time and live intentionally
• What the Armor of God means for modern believers
• Why community is essential in spiritual warfare
• How to fight anxiety, shame, and fear with God's Word and prayer
The battle is real, but the victory has already been won through Jesus Christ. Don't fight in your own strength. Put on the armor of God, stand your ground, and walk in the power God has provided.

But God, Therefore | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Why does Paul spend three chapters explaining what God has done before giving a single command? In this message, we explore the powerful turning point in Ephesians 4:1 — “Therefore…”. Because of what Christ has already accomplished, our lives are called to reflect a new reality.
From death to life. From strangers to family. From spectators to contributors. This sermon walks through the foundation of Ephesians 2–3 and shows how Paul calls believers to live a “life of proof” in Ephesians 4.
In this message:
- Cultivate unity through humility, gentleness, and patience.
- Discover and activate the spiritual gifts God has entrusted to you.
- Grow into maturity by holding truth and love together.
This message also addresses modern struggles with anxiety, shame, self-doubt, division, and spiritual passivity, reminding us that our identity was established by God long before we ever tried to prove ourselves.
Key Scriptures:
- Ephesians 4:1
- Ephesians 2:4-5
- Ephesians 4:2-3

Ephesians 1: Identified | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
The world says, “Find yourself.” Scripture says your identity was already established before the foundation of the world.
In this message from Ephesians 1, we unpack one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: your value, purpose, and identity are not earned—they are received through Christ.
If anxiety, self-doubt, shame, insecurity, or fear of not being enough have been weighing on you, this message will remind you of who God says you are.
In this message:
• Chosen and adopted by the Father
• Redeemed and forgiven through Jesus Christ
• Sealed by the Holy Spirit
• Empowered by resurrection power
• Secure in God’s eternal plan
Stop living from insecurity and start living from identity.
You do not fight for victory—you fight from victory.
No matter what this week brings, remember:
You are chosen.
You are forgiven.
You are secure.
You are empowered.
You belong to God.

Intercession | When Heaven and Earth Collide Youtube | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Prayer is not passive. Prayer is collision.
In this message, Intercession: When Heaven and Earth Collide, Pastor Mark Pearce dives deep into the biblical meaning of intercession through the Hebrew word paga—to collide with, confront, and stand in the gap.
This sermon reveals that intercession is more than simply asking God for help. It is partnering with Heaven to confront earthly realities with divine authority.
In this message:
• The true meaning of biblical intercession
• Jesus as our Great Intercessor
• How believers are called to stand in the gap
• Why hell fears believers who know how to pray
• The power of Spirit-led, effectual prayer
From Isaiah 53 to Romans 8, this teaching will challenge you to move beyond routine prayer and step into the authority and calling God has placed on His Church.

Becoming A Bible built Mother | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What does it mean to become a Bible-built mother?
In this powerful message from Proverbs 31, Pastor Mark Pearce shares how biblical motherhood is not about perfection—it’s about faithfulness, wisdom, prayer, and trusting God in every season.
Through the examples of Hannah, Jochebed, Eunice, and Mary, we discover how mothers can lead their homes with courage, kindness, spiritual strength, and unwavering faith in God.
This sermon will encourage every mother who feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, or uncertain about the future. God is not asking you to be perfect—He is asking you to remain faithful.
In this message:
• Wisdom and kindness in motherhood
• Raising children in a digital age
• Choosing presence over performance
• Trusting God with your children’s future
• Building a legacy of sincere faith

Power of The Fire | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What if the missing piece in your faith isn’t more knowledge, but more power?
In Power of the Fire, we look at Acts 2 and Acts 19 to uncover a reality many believers overlook: you can have the right beliefs and still be living without the fire of the Holy Spirit. The early Church didn’t treat the Spirit as optional. He was essential.
From the moment of Pentecost to the disciples in Ephesus, Scripture shows us that the promise of the Holy Spirit was never meant to stop. It was never just a one-time event. The same fire that filled the early Church is still available today.
In this message, we explore:
• The difference between water baptism and the baptism of the Holy Spirit
• Why the fire of God is for every believer
• How the Holy Spirit brings power, boldness, and transformation
• The purpose of spiritual gifts in the life of the Church
• What it means to live a Spirit-filled life instead of a powerless one
If your walk with God feels routine, dry, or stuck, this message is an invitation to go deeper. Don’t stop at the water. Step into the fire.

Promise Fulfilled | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What happens when the promise of Jesus becomes reality? In this message, Promise Fulfilled, we dive into Acts 2 and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The same Spirit who empowered the early church is still available today.
Many believers know the form of faith but feel disconnected from the power of it. Pentecost reminds us that Christianity was never meant to be lived on human strength alone. God promised power, presence, and gifts through the Holy Spirit so believers could live boldly, pray effectively, and reflect Jesus in a broken world.
In this sermon we explore:
• The Day of Pentecost and why it still matters today
• The purpose of spiritual gifts as tools for ministry, not trophies for status
• The gift of tongues and its biblical purposes
• Why the church still needs the power of the Holy Spirit now
• How to move from manual mode faith into Spirit empowered living
The kingdom of God is not built on words alone, but on power. You were never meant to live empty, drained, or disconnected. The promise is still for today.

The Promised Revealed | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Last week we talked about the Promise: Go. Wait. Receive.
This week, we see the Promise revealed.
The Holy Spirit is not a concept, a feeling, or an optional part of faith. He is God’s active presence living within every believer. From Genesis to Acts, scripture shows us that the Spirit has always been at work, but through Jesus, something changed. God is no longer just with us. He is in us.
In this message, we unpack who the Holy Spirit is, why He came, and what He does in our lives today.
👉 In this message, you’ll discover:
- Who the Holy Spirit is according to Scripture
- Why Jesus said it was better for Him to leave
- How the Spirit unifies and empowers believers
- The role of the Holy Spirit as our Helper and guide
- What it means to live a Spirit-led life
You are not meant to live the Christian life in your own strength. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you.

Jesus Sent Heaven to Earth | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What happened in the 40 days after the resurrection?
We often focus on the Cross and the Empty Tomb, but overlook one of the most powerful moments in history—when Jesus walked the earth after defeating death. He didn’t disappear. He stayed. He taught. He prepared.
In this new series, we’re diving deep into the person and power of the Holy Spirit—“the power within you.”
For forty days, Jesus gave undeniable proof that He was alive. He restored broken faith, met His followers in their doubts, and prepared them for what was next. But before sending them out, He gave one clear instruction: wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.
👉 In this message, you’ll discover:
- The undeniable proof of the resurrection
- Why Jesus told His followers to wait before going
- The promise of the Holy Spirit as our Helper
- How to move from knowing about Jesus to experiencing Him
We are not left on our own. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now lives in us.

He Came, He Conquered, We Won | Easter Sunday | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What looked like defeat on Good Friday was actually the moment Jesus paid the debt of humanity in full. Betrayed, abandoned, and crucified, He chose obedience over comfort and victory over surrender.
In this message, we walk through three eternal moments that changed everything:
👉 It’s Not About Me
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus chose the Father’s will over His own.
“Not my will, but yours be done.” (Luke 22:42)
👉 He Nailed It
On the cross, Jesus declared “It is finished.” (John 19:30)
The debt of sin was paid in full. No more striving. No more earning. Freedom is found in what He already finished.
👉 He Rose as Conqueror
The tomb is empty. Death is defeated. Victory is secure.
“He is not here. He has risen!” (Matthew 28:6)
Because He lives, we have hope. Because He conquered, we have victory.

When the King Comes to Town | Palm Sunday | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as King—but not the kind of King people expected. While the crowds praised Him, many misunderstood His purpose and the kind of Kingdom He came to establish.
This message explores three powerful realities of what happens when Jesus takes His place in our lives.
First, He brings peace. Not a temporary or circumstantial peace, but a deep, lasting peace that remains even in the middle of life’s challenges.
Second, He cleanses what is corrupted. Just as Jesus cleared the temple, He works in us, transforming our hearts so we can become a dwelling place for His presence.
Finally, He calls us to surrender. Jesus modeled complete obedience, and He invites us into a daily life of laying down our will to follow Him.
Palm Sunday is not just about celebration. It is an invitation to recognize the King, respond to His authority, and follow Him fully.

Leading From the Field | Pastor Darin Pearce Pathway Church
What does it really mean to be a great leader?
Before David ever wore a crown, he carried a shepherd’s staff. Before he faced giants, he faithfully tended sheep. In this message, we look at the life of King David—a man known not for perfection, but for having a heart fully devoted to God.
While King Saul lost his kingdom through disobedience, David was chosen because of his heart. His story reminds us that God isn’t looking for outward strength or perfection—He’s looking for surrender, obedience, and worship.
Whether you’re in a waiting season, a serving season, or stepping into something new, this message will encourage you not to overlook where you are right now. God is using your current season to prepare you for what’s ahead.
👉 Key Takeaways:
- Don’t despise the “field” seasons—God develops you there
- Great leaders are servants first
- Confidence comes from preparation, but victory comes from God
- Worship is your greatest strength
- God values a repentant heart over a perfect one

They Stood | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Before they were heroes, David’s mighty men were broken.
When they first came to the Cave of Adullam, the Bible says they were men in distress, in debt, and discouraged. They were society’s outcasts. But under David’s leadership and God’s anointing, these same men became the greatest warriors in Israel’s history.
Their stories remind us that God doesn’t call the mighty and make them His—He calls the broken and makes them mighty.
In a culture that often retreats when pressure rises, the mighty men of David show us what it looks like to stand firm in faith.
One warrior defeated hundreds.
Another fought until his hand locked around the sword.
Another stood alone in a simple bean field while everyone else ran.
Their victories weren’t just about courage—they were about faithfulness.
In this message, you’ll discover how to:
- Stand when others walk away
- Defend the “small territories” God has given you
- Hold tightly to God’s Word in the middle of pressure
- Trust that victory ultimately belongs to the Lord
You may feel like you’re starting in your own cave of discouragement or struggle, but God specializes in turning caves into training grounds and ordinary people into mighty warriors.
When the pressure rises, don’t retreat.
Stand your ground.
Because when one person stands in faith, God can bring a great victory.
March 16, 2026
Gideon Changed | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
When we first meet Gideon in Judges 6, he isn’t leading an army—he’s hiding in a winepress. Israel is under severe oppression from the Midianites, and Gideon feels like the least qualified person God could possibly choose.
But God speaks a different identity over his life: “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”
Through Gideon’s journey, we see how God transforms fear into faith, weakness into strength, and small obedience into supernatural victory. God reduced Gideon’s army from 32,000 to only 300 soldiers so that no one could claim the victory belonged to human strength.
The battle wasn’t won with swords—it was won with empty jars, torches, and trumpets, showing that God’s power shines brightest through human weakness.
In this message, you’ll discover:
- How God defines you differently than your circumstances do
- Why God often works through weakness, not strength
- How obedience in small steps prepares you for bigger victories
- Why brokenness allows God’s light to shine through your life
- How praise becomes a weapon against the enemy
If you feel like you’re hiding in your own “winepress” of fear, insecurity, or limitation, this message will remind you that God still calls ordinary people to extraordinary purpose.

Jabez Asked: When God Rewrites Your Story | 1 Chronicles 4:9–10 | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In the middle of pages of genealogy, the Bible suddenly pauses to highlight one man: Jabez.
Born with a name that meant “pain-maker,” Jabez carried a label from birth that predicted a future of struggle and limitation. But instead of accepting the identity handed to him, Jabez asked God to rewrite his story.
In just two verses, Jabez prayed a bold, audacious prayer asking God to bless him, enlarge his territory, keep him from evil, and be with him. And the Scripture ends with one of the most encouraging lines in the Bible:
“God granted him what he asked.”
This message teaches us how to:
Reject the negative labels of your past
Pray with bold, God-sized faith
Seek God’s presence more than His provision
Walk in protection, purpose, and identity
Believe God can rewrite your future
If you feel limited by your past, your family history, your reputation, or the labels people have put on you—this message is for you. The God of Jabez still enlarges territory and still breaks generational patterns.
📖 Scripture Focus: 1 Chronicles 4:9–10

Elijah Did | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Elijah appears in Scripture without a backstory and exits in a whirlwind of fire — but what happens between those two moments reveals how God moves through obedient, worshipful, Spirit-led people.
In this message, we follow Elijah’s journey from confronting Ahab, to being fed by ravens, to seeing fire fall on Mount Carmel, to hearing God’s whisper in a cave. His life teaches us that divine favor flows wherever obedience, worship, spiritual authority, and declaration collide.
Elijah’s story shows us:
• Obedience opens doors
• Worship invites God’s presence
• Spiritual authority destroys darkness
• Declaring God’s Word shifts atmospheres
• And doing these things ends spiritual droughts
If you’ve felt dry, overwhelmed, or stuck between battles—this message will build your faith. The same God who sent fire and rain is still working today.
📖 Scripture Focus: 1 Kings 17–19, 2 Kings 1
🔥 “Not only do I hear the sound of rain… I see a cloud forming over your dry land.”

Mordecai Watched: When God Exonerates You | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What do you do when you’ve done the right thing… and nothing happens?
The story of Mordecai and Haman in the Book of Esther is the ultimate “tables turned” moment in Scripture. It’s a powerful reminder that when the enemy thinks he has won, God is already rewriting the outcome.
In Esther 2–9, Mordecai faithfully serves at the king’s gate, uncovers an assassination plot, and refuses to bow to Haman—not out of pride, but out of integrity. While Haman builds gallows for Mordecai’s execution, God is quietly orchestrating a divine reversal. One sleepless night changes everything.
This message reveals how integrity, intercession, humility, and trust in God’s timing position us for vindication. Though God’s name is never mentioned in Esther, His fingerprints are everywhere.
In this message, you’ll discover:
- Why integrity outlasts manipulation
- How prayer activates heaven’s intervention
- Why God’s delays are not His denials
- How pride destroys but humility promotes
- What it means to trust that God has the final say
Your day of intended destruction can become your day of victory. The same gallows built for you may become the platform for your promotion.
If you feel overlooked, attacked, or stuck “at the gate,” this message is for you. God is the God of the Turnaround.

Samson Prayed: The Strongest Weak Man | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Samson had supernatural strength—strong enough to tear apart lions, snap chains, and defeat armies. Yet the strongest man in the Bible couldn’t always conquer his own desires.
In this message from Judges 13–16, we look beyond Samson’s physical power and uncover a deeper story about calling, compromise, and the mercy of God. Samson was chosen before birth, anointed by God, and gifted with incredible strength—yet distracted by temptation and weakened by poor character choices.
This sermon reminds us that gifting is never a substitute for character, compromise never stays small, and failure is never final when we return to God.
Through Samson’s rise, fall, and final prayer, we see a God who remains faithful even when His people are not. When Samson finally humbled himself and cried out to the Lord, God heard him—and brought victory through brokenness.
In this message, you’ll learn:
Why spiritual gifting without character leads to collapse
How small compromises can turn into spiritual chains
Why God’s grace is greater than our worst failures
How prayer can ignite a comeback, even at rock bottom
If you’ve ever felt called by God but conflicted on the inside, this message is for you. There is always a comeback from a setback when you call on the Lord.

Deborah Said Yes | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In the Book of Judges, Israel finds itself trapped in a familiar cycle—turning from God, falling into oppression, crying out for mercy, and being rescued by a deliverer. But in Judges 4 and 5, God raises up a deliverer unlike any other: Deborah.
Deborah was a prophetess, a judge, and a “Mother in Israel.” At a time when fear ruled the nation and highways were abandoned, she listened to God, spoke with clarity, and led with courage. While Israel trembled before 900 iron chariots—the most advanced military technology of the day—God’s answer was not a bigger army, but a woman who said yes to His call.
This message walks through Deborah’s story and reveals how her life serves as a guide for believers today. From wisdom under the palm tree, to obedience on the battlefield, to courage in the face of overwhelming odds, Deborah shows us how God works through those who are willing to listen, obey, and stand firm.
In this message, you’ll discover:
- Why God’s solution to crisis is often obedience, not power
- How faith moves from the presence of God into action
- What it means to say “yes” before circumstances change
- How God can turn the enemy’s greatest strength into their downfall
- Why courage is fueled by God’s Spirit, not human confidence
Deborah’s story reminds us that God is not looking for the loudest voice or the strongest résumé—He’s looking for hearts willing to sit at His feet and then stand for His truth.

Jonah Ran | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What happens when God’s mercy collides with our prejudice?
In this message, we walk through all four chapters of the Book of Jonah and uncover a story far deeper than a man and a fish. Jonah is not a children’s tale—it’s a gritty, uncomfortable account of a prophet whose heart was out of sync with God’s compassion.
At its core, Jonah reveals the tension between human judgment and God’s relentless grace. Jonah didn’t run because he doubted God—he ran because he knew God would forgive the people he believed deserved judgment.
Through storms, a great fish, and a second chance, God exposes Jonah’s heart while showing us the radical nature of the Gospel.
This sermon challenges us to ask a difficult question: Who is your Nineveh? The person, group, or situation you believe is beyond redemption may be the very place God wants to display His mercy.
From Jonah’s rebellion to Nineveh’s repentance, and ultimately to Jesus—the greater Jonah—we see that God’s grace is not earned, negotiated, or deserved. It is freely given, even to those we least expect.
In this message, you’ll discover:
- Why God’s grace often offends our sense of fairness
- How God uses storms and detours as acts of mercy
- What it means to serve a God of second chances
- The difference between natural human logic and Gospel logic
- Why the Gospel moves us from justice for others to mercy at the cross
If you’ve ever struggled to love difficult people, wrestled with obedience, or felt disqualified by failure, this message is for you. God’s mercy reaches deeper than our rebellion—and His grace is more relentless than our resistance.

Equipped for the Call | The Artisans of the Presence Pathway Church
What if your everyday skills are actually God-given tools for His glory?
In this message, we look at the powerful and often-overlooked story of Bezalel and Oholiab, the first individuals in Scripture described as being “filled with the Spirit of God.” Instead of leading sermons, the Spirit empowered them with craftsmanship, creativity, wisdom, and the ability to teach—revealing that God values skilled work just as much as public ministry.
Teaching from Exodus 25–40, along with Matthew 25, Colossians 3, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4, this sermon challenges the false divide between sacred and secular work. Your talents—whether in design, leadership, administration, parenting, or problem-solving—are entrusted to you by God and meant to build His dwelling place in the world today.

Joseph Chose | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Have you ever felt stuck in a season of waiting, betrayal, or disappointment? The story of Joseph from Genesis 37–45 shows us that God is at work even in our lowest moments.
From a colorful coat in Canaan, to a pit of betrayal, to slavery in Egypt, and years of imprisonment, Joseph’s life reads like a blockbuster movie. Yet through every descent, one truth remains constant: “The Lord was with Joseph.”
In this message, you’ll discover three key lessons from Joseph’s life:
Character is forged in integrity: choosing what is right even when no one is watching.
The pit prepares you: hardships and delays are God’s training grounds
God turns evil into good: every betrayal, setback, or struggle is part of His sovereign plan.
Whether you’re in a “pit,” a season of waiting, or on the brink of breakthrough, this message will encourage you to trust God’s process, remain faithful, and see His purpose unfold.

Noah Obeyed | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What does obedience look like when God doesn’t give the full plan?
In this message, we begin a new series by looking at the life of Noah—a man who obeyed God when obedience didn’t make sense. In a world marked by corruption and compromise, Noah chose faith over logic and action over understanding.
Teaching from Genesis 6–7 and Hebrews 11, this sermon reminds us that biblical faith often involves trusting God with “things not yet seen.” Noah built the ark before rain ever fell, lived righteously in a hostile culture, and trusted God as his ultimate Deliverer. When the door of the ark was closed, it wasn’t Noah who shut it—God Himself did.
This message challenges believers today to obey God’s Word without negotiation, stand distinct in a culture that has forgotten God, and rest in the security of salvation found only in Jesus Christ—the true Ark.
In this message, you’ll learn how to:
Obey God even when the outcome is unclear
Live righteously in a corrupt culture
Trust God’s faithfulness to protect and save
If you’re struggling to move forward in faith, waiting for clarity before obedience, or feeling pressure to compromise, this message will encourage and challenge you.

Resilient | Darin Pearce Pathway Church
What does it really mean to be resilient in your faith?
In this sermon, we look at the powerful story of Joseph from the book of Genesis—a man who endured betrayal, injustice, suffering, and imprisonment, yet never lost sight of God’s purpose. From the pit to the prison to the palace, Joseph’s life reminds us that God is at work even when circumstances seem unfair or painful.
Resilience isn’t about avoiding hardship—it’s about remaining faithful through it. Drawing from Scripture in Genesis, Romans, James, Corinthians, Hebrews, and more, this message challenges us to trust God’s plan, listen for His voice, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, no matter what season we’re in.
In this message, you’ll be encouraged to:
* Be strong in the face of adversity
* Listen for God’s guidance instead of the world’s noise
* Keep your focus on Jesus, even when life is hard
If you’re walking through a difficult season, feeling discouraged, or wondering how God could possibly use your pain, this sermon is for you. God is not wasting your struggle—He is shaping you through it.

The Joy of the Lord | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In this message from our Advent series The King Is Coming, we focus on the joy of the Lord—a joy that goes far deeper than temporary happiness and remains steady no matter our circumstances. From the angels’ announcement to the shepherds to the songs of joy that echo through Scripture, we are reminded that Jesus’ arrival brought good news of great joy for all people.
This sermon explores the powerful distinction between happiness and joy. While happiness is often tied to external circumstances, true joy is rooted in our relationship with Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and strengthened through faith, community, and God’s promises .
Through passages like Luke 2:10, John 15:11, Romans 14:17, and Nehemiah 8:10, we see that:
* The joy of the Lord is for you
* The joy of the Lord is for the world
* The joy of the Lord is our strength
Even in hardship—like Paul and Silas worshiping in prison—joy proves to be a sustaining, life-changing force that points others to Jesus .
As we prepare our hearts this Christmas season, may this message encourage you to **choose joy**, guard it fiercely, and share the good news of Jesus with a world that desperately needs hope.

What Mary Knew | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
As we continue our Advent journey, we look at Mary’s Song in Luke 1 and discover what Mary already knew about the coming King. Long before Jesus was born, Mary understood that His Kingdom would turn the world upside down—bringing justice, mercy, and hope to all who humble themselves before God.
In today’s message we explore:
1️⃣ The King Who Brings Justice
Mary declares that God lifts the humble, brings down the proud, and sets right what is broken. Jesus came not for vengeance, but for restoration.
2️⃣ The King Who Brings Mercy
God’s mercy is not temporary—it’s everlasting. Through Jesus, we see compassion, forgiveness, and a new way forward.
3️⃣ The King Who Brings Hope
God remembers His promises. Through Jesus, He offers hope that is secure, eternal, and powerful enough to sustain us through any season.
If you’ve ever wondered what Mary actually understood about the child she carried, this message will encourage your faith and deepen your understanding of God’s heart revealed through Christ.
📖 Key Scriptures:
Luke 1:46–55 • Micah 6:8 • Isaiah 61:8 • Psalm 72:4 • Lamentations 3:22–23 • Matthew 11:28 • Titus 3:5 • Jeremiah 29:11 • Romans 15:13 • Isaiah 40:31 • Luke 2:25–35
🙏 Our prayer:
That you experience the justice, mercy, and hope of King Jesus—and share that hope with someone who needs it this week.

Promised | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
✨ The King Is Coming — Promised | Advent Sermon
In this message, Promised, we begin our Advent series by looking back to the remarkable promises God made hundreds of years before Jesus was born. Long before the manger, before the angels and shepherds, God declared that a Savior-King was coming — One who would rule, rescue, and restore.
From the prophecies of Micah and Isaiah, we discover four powerful titles describing the Messiah:
Wonderful Counselor. Mighty God. Eternal Father. Prince of Peace.
Each title reveals a different facet of who Jesus is — and how deeply His character impacts your life today.
🌟 In this sermon you’ll learn:
• How Jesus fulfills every ancient promise about the coming King
• What it means to trust Him as your Wonderful Counselor
• How His divine power strengthens you as your Mighty God
• The unchanging love He offers as your Eternal Father
• The true, lasting peace He brings as the Prince of Peace
As we prepare our hearts during this Advent season, may these truths draw us closer to the Savior who was promised long before His birth — and who is coming again.
🕯️ The King has come. The King is here. The King is coming.

Heaven Is My Home | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
This world is not our home—and this message is a reminder to live with heaven in view. Throughout this series, we’ve learned to see life through faith, choose the right path, follow our Shepherd, and live set apart for God’s Kingdom.
In this final message, we look at what it means to live as citizens of heaven. Scripture tells us that Jesus is preparing a place for us—a home where there is no pain, sorrow, or death. Everything we experience on earth is temporary, but what God has promised is eternal.
We’re called to keep our focus on things above, to store up treasures in heaven, and to live each day with eternity in mind. The Bible promises that Jesus will return, and that hope should shape how we live, love, and serve right now.
We also catch a glimpse of the New Jerusalem—a place of beauty, peace, and God’s presence forever.
Let this message encourage you: you are just passing through. Keep your eyes on Jesus, set your heart on eternity, and remember that heaven is your true home.

Set Apart | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In today’s message, Pastor Mark Pearce continues our Pilgrims series with a powerful sermon titled “Set Apart.” As followers of Jesus, we are called to live differently—not isolated from the world, but distinct within it. This message challenges us to reflect Christ in everything we do, hold fast to biblical truth, and live as ambassadors of Heaven in a culture that often pushes us to conform.
Pastor Mark walks through three key truths about living a life radically set apart:
✨ We Are Called to Look Different Than a Lost World
Our lives should reflect God’s holiness, not the values of the culture around us. We are light in the darkness, chosen and set apart for His purpose.
✨ We Are Not Called to Endorse Every Social Narrative
Following Christ means standing firm in truth—even when it’s unpopular. Our allegiance isn’t to trends, approval, or cultural opinions, but to the Gospel.
✨ We Are Ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven
This world is not our home. As citizens of Heaven, our words, actions, and priorities should point people to Jesus.
With Scripture from 1 Peter, Romans, Ephesians, John, and more, this message will encourage you to examine your walk with Christ and recommit to living boldly and faithfully in a world desperately in need of light.

From green pastures to dark valleys, God promises His presence and provision for His people. Through stories of Abraham, David, Paul, and others, Pastor Mark reminds us that we can trust our Guide no matter what lies ahead.

Pick Your Path | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In this message, Pastor Mark Pearce continues the Pilgrims series with a powerful challenge: Which path are you walking?
Drawing from Matthew 7:13–14, Jesus calls us to walk the narrow path—the one that leads to life, even when it’s hard. Just like the Pilgrims of 1620 left behind comfort and familiarity to follow God’s call, we’re reminded that following Christ today still requires focus, sacrifice, and perseverance.
Through scripture, real-life stories, and timeless truth, Pastor Mark encourages us to fix our eyes on Jesus and keep walking faithfully—because even when the road is narrow, God walks with you every step of the way.
📖 Key Passage: Matthew 7:13–14
💡 Main Points:
1️⃣ The Narrow Path Requires Focus
2️⃣ The Narrow Path Requires Sacrifice
3️⃣ The Narrow Path Requires Perseverance

In this message, Bent Not Broken, we explore what it means to build a strong spiritual foundation through:
🌿 Trusting God above everything else
🌿 Growing deep roots in His Word

What Now? | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
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.

Live Like You Were Dying | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What would change if you knew your time was short? Would you live with greater purpose, love deeper, and focus on what truly matters?
In this message, Live Like You Were Dying, we’re challenged to evaluate our lives, set God’s priorities first, and live every day with eternal impact. Drawing from Scripture, we look at three key areas—our relationship with God, our families, and others—and how to live faithfully in the “dash” between our birth and our final day.
This isn’t about fear or morbidity—it’s about urgency, purpose, and leaving a Christ-centered legacy. Don’t waste your dash. Live fully for God.
📖 Key Scriptures:
* Psalm 90:12
* Matthew 6:33
* Matthew 16:25
* Revelation 3:15–16
* Hebrews 9:27
🙏 Prayer: “Lord, teach us to number our days, to live with wisdom, and to love deeply so that when we meet You, we are found faithful.”
September 16, 2025
Suffering | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Life is not free from suffering—but even in hardship, God calls us to live for His glory. In this message from our series In All You Do, we look at what Scripture teaches about suffering, and how our response can become an act of worship when we surrender it to the Lord.
Through the story of Job, the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Daniel’s trust in the lions’ den, and Paul and Silas worshiping in prison, we see three key attitudes that honor God in the midst of trials:
1️⃣ Stay faithful to God no matter the outcome
2️⃣ Trust His sovereignty and timing
3️⃣ Choose worship, even in the midst of pain
Suffering is not wasted when it draws us closer to God. He is still good, even when life is not.
📖 Key Scriptures: Colossians 3:23–24, 1 Peter 4:12–19, Job 1, Daniel 3 & 6, Acts 16, Romans 8:28
🙏 If you’re walking through suffering, this message will encourage you to remain steadfast, trust God’s plan, and find hope in His promise of restoration.

It Matters | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In All You Do: It Matters | Colossians 3:23
Everything we do—our jobs, serving, family life, even everyday chores—matters to God. This message launches our new series In All You Do, centered on Colossians 3:23: “In all you do, do it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…”
Work isn’t just a paycheck or recognition—it’s worship. When we bring excellence, the right heart, and a desire to glorify God, no task is too small and nothing is wasted.
In this sermon, you’ll learn:
* Why your work and effort matter to God (Genesis 2:15; Ecclesiastes 3:13; Matthew 25:21).
* How your heart shapes the way you work (Philippians 2:14–15; Proverbs 16:3; Romans 12:11; Joseph in Genesis 39:2).
* How everyday work can glorify God and impact others** (Matthew 5:16; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12).

Equipped to Build | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Jesus didn’t leave us unequipped—He gave us everything we need to build His Kingdom until He returns. In this message, *“Equipped to Build”*, we look at the three powerful tools Jesus placed in our hands: **forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, and love.**
Discover how:
* Forgiveness tears down walls of bitterness and brings unity.
* The Holy Spirit empowers us with strength, guidance, and spiritual gifts.
* Love binds everything together and reflects the very nature of God.
This sermon reminds us that following Christ is not passive waiting—it’s active faithfulness. We are called to serve, witness, love, and advance His kingdom in our everyday lives.
📖 Key Scriptures: Luke 19:11-27, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, John 13:34-35, 1 Corinthians 13

Follow the Leader | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
We were created to believe, but we were also created to become—to grow into true followers of Jesus. In this message from our series He Created Me, we look at what it really means to follow Christ: moving from being self-centered, to Christ-centered, to becoming more like Jesus.
Through passages in John, Mark, and Matthew, we see how even the disciples struggled with pride, ambition, and “me-ism.” Yet Jesus shows us a better way—the way of humility, servanthood, and love for others.
Discover how following Jesus means taking Him off the sidelines and placing Him on the throne of our lives, learning to serve without expecting anything in return, and becoming more like Him each day.
📖 Key Scriptures: John 1:12, Mark 1:17, Mark 9:33-35, Mark 10:35-45, John 13:12-15

I Belong | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Do you ever feel like you don’t belong? From the moment God created Adam and Eve, we were designed for connection—with Him and with each other. But when sin entered the world, it brought separation, shame, and rejection. The amazing news is that Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, took our place so we could be accepted and belong to God’s family.
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Mark Pearce unpacks:
✅ Why we were born with a longing to belong
✅ How sin distorts that desire and separates us from God
✅ What it means to be made perfect in our position through Christ
✅ How belonging to God also means belonging to His family
📖 Key Scriptures: Genesis 3:7-10, Romans 3:23, Hebrews 10:14, Ephesians 1:6, Psalm 68:6, Romans 8:38-39
If you’ve battled feelings of rejection, isolation, or not being “good enough” for God, this message will remind you of a life-changing truth: You belong—because you’re His.

Can anyone really prophesy? According to Scripture, yes! In this powerful message, we explore Numbers 11 and 1 Corinthians 14 to uncover the truth that God desires all His people to hear His voice and speak His words.

Prophecy is always encouraging—it edifies, exhorts, and comforts.

Look Who’s Talking | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Who’s speaking into your life—and can you tell the difference?
In this sermon, "Look Who’s Talking," Pastor Mark Pearce unpacks the importance of recognizing the voice of God in a world full of noise and distraction. While God speaks to affirm His love, call us closer, guide, encourage, and prepare us, the enemy also speaks—through lies meant to deceive, discourage, and destroy.
Using Scripture and real-life biblical examples like Moses, Paul, and the Samaritan woman, Pastor Mark shows how God’s voice leads to transformation, purpose, and deeper relationship.
If you've ever struggled to know whether it’s God speaking—or just your own thoughts or the enemy—this message will help you gain clarity and confidence in hearing from the One who speaks truth and life.

Why Can't I Hear God | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Why does God feel silent? In this powerful message, Pastor Mark unpacks the real reason many believers struggle to hear God: an unrepentant heart. While busyness and stress can drown out His voice, it’s often sin and stubbornness that create the greatest distance. Drawing from the story of Herod and John the Baptist, we see how rejecting the voice of repentance can lead to spiritual deafness—and even separation from God’s presence. Discover how true, biblical repentance—turning back to God with a transformed heart—restores clarity, intimacy, and direction. Don’t miss this honest and convicting word that reminds us: repentance isn’t punishment; it’s a gift that opens our ears and hearts to God.

The Voice of the Shepherd | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What does the voice of God sound like? Can you really hear Him speak to you?
In this powerful message, Pastor Mark Pearce walks through the moments in Scripture where God speaks—not always in thunder or fire, but often in a whisper. From Elijah’s cave to the stormy sea, from Mount Sinai to the quiet temple with Samuel—God’s voice is active, present, and personal.
The voice of the Shepherd is:
Gentle enough to whisper peace in your chaos,
Powerful enough to shake mountains and command storms,
Comforting enough to calm your anxious heart,
Guiding enough to lead you in truth,
And challenging enough to call you into your God-given purpose.
Whether you're facing fear, confusion, or a season of uncertainty, this message will remind you: your Shepherd is speaking—are you listening?
📖 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27
Don't miss this life-changing word. Learn how to quiet the noise, lean in, and recognize the voice of the One who leads you.

He’s Our Friend | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In this powerful Father’s Day message titled “He’s Our Friend”, Pastor dives into one of the most incredible truths of Scripture: God doesn’t just want to lead us—He wants to befriend us. As part of our current series, Frequency: Tune In, Hear God, we explore how God speaks—not to robots, but to people He loves, personally and intimately.
Looking at John 15 and Genesis 18, this message reminds us that God is not distant or mechanical in His communication. Instead, He desires real relationship, conversation, and connection—especially in our moments of pain. From Abraham’s bold dialogue with God to Jesus’ heartfelt invitation, “I call you friends,” we discover that hearing God's voice starts not with a formula, but with friendship.
Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or you’re just starting to tune into His voice, this message will encourage you to draw near, slow down, and recognize that the God of the universe wants to talk with you. Not just to direct you—but because He loves you.
📖 Scriptures:
John 15:15
Genesis 18:17–33
Exodus 33:11
James 2:23
John 16:12–13
Zechariah 13:6
Matthew 26:48–50

I'm a Sheep | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What makes a believer different from someone who doesn’t know Jesus? According to John 10, the answer is simple yet powerful: a believer knows the Shepherd’s voice. In this first message of the series, "I’m a Sheep," we explore what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus and how hearing God’s voice isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are.
Through humor, Scripture, and truth, this message unpacks three life-changing realities about hearing God:
1️⃣ It’s innate – You were born with the ability to hear Him.
2️⃣ It’s learned – Like children learning to speak, we grow in how we recognize His voice.
3️⃣ It’s matured – Hearing God becomes more refined as we walk with Him.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey of faith or you’ve followed Jesus for years, this message is a reminder: You were created to hear Him. And He is speaking.
💬 “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” – John 10:27
🐑 Bottom line: I’m a sheep—and I was made to hear my Shepherd.

Jesus Is The Only Way | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In the final message of our series How Do I Know?, Pastor Mark Pearce tackles one of the most important and controversial questions: How do I know Jesus is the only way?
The word "only" can feel exclusive, and for many, even offensive. But what does Scripture really say about Jesus being the only way to God? And how do we respond to sincere seekers, people of other faiths, and those who have never heard the name of Jesus?
In this powerful and thought-provoking sermon, we dive into:
📖 What Jesus and the early church actually said about salvation
🌍 Why Christianity, while exclusive in truth, is the most inclusive invitation in the world
🧭 How God's goodness and fairness shape the way He reveals Himself to all people
🙏 What Scripture says about those who are genuinely seeking God
With real stories, including testimonies from around the world, this message will help you understand God's heart for humanity and why Jesus is not a way, but the way to the Father.
Whether you're wrestling with this question yourself or looking for ways to explain it to others, this sermon will equip you with truth and compassion.

The Bible is True | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church

There Are Diamonds In Your Dirt | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In this powerful message, There Are Diamonds In Your Dirt, we are reminded that the treasures we seek are often already right where we are. Drawing from Psalm 119:18, Pastor shares the true story of Ali Hafed — a man who sold everything in search of riches, only to miss the diamonds beneath his own feet. We learn the dangers of listening to unproven voices, the importance of valuing the field God has given us, and how trials and pressures produce the diamonds in our lives. Don't believe the lie that fulfillment is "out there" somewhere; God's blessings are often found right where you are, even in the dirt you're tempted to despise. Dig in your own field. Trust God’s plan. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think. Open your eyes today and see the wonder all around you!

Palm Sunday | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Mark Pearce unpacks "The Three Truths of Palm Sunday" using John 12 and two Old Testament prophecies. From the crowd’s cry of “Hosanna”—which means “Save Now”—to Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey, each detail reveals something powerful about who Jesus is and how He comes to us. Pastor Mark teaches that Palm Sunday reminds us: 1) God hears us when we cry out, 2) we are commanded to fear not, and 3) Jesus often shows up not as we expect, but exactly as we need. Along the way, he shares personal stories, scripture from Psalm 107, and encouragement for anyone in a season of distress. Whether you're watching live or online, this message will stir your faith.

That Amazing Day | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In the final message of our series The End, Pastor Mark unpacks "That Amazing Day"—the second coming of Christ. While it’s a powerful and hopeful promise, there are modern teachings on the topic that can lead us astray. Some become obsessed and stop witnessing, giving, and serving. Others become passive, waiting around for rescue. But Jesus gave us a clear command: “Do business ’til I come.”
Drawing from Luke 19 and Matthew 24, we explore the believer’s role and responsibility in the time between now and Christ’s return. This isn’t a time for fear, laziness, or speculation—it’s a time to serve, give, witness, and stay focused. Let’s not get sidetracked. The end will come when the gospel is preached to all nations. Until then, we’ve got work to do.
Let’s live with purpose and shine while we wait for That Amazing Day.

Judgement Day | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In "Judgment Day," part of The End... What Happens Next? series, we explore what Scripture says about the final judgment. Will everyone be judged? Yes. Will believers and unbelievers be judged? Yes. But by grace or works? The answer is both. Our belief determines where we spend eternity; our behavior determines how we spend it. There are two judgments: the Judgment Seat of Christ for believers and the Great White Throne Judgment for unbelievers. How we live matters, and God will reward or judge accordingly. Watch now to understand why faith and works both play a role in eternity!

A Necessary Message | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In this message, A Necessary Message, the third part of our series "The End...What Happens Next?", we tackle a tough but vital topic—Hell. Many deny its existence, but Jesus spoke about it with urgency. Why? Because His passion was to keep people from going there. This sermon explores biblical truths, misconceptions, and the reality of eternal separation from God. If Hell isn’t real, Jesus wouldn’t have warned us. But He did—because He loves us. Watch now as we unpack the truth about eternity and the choices we make today.

Some Easy Questions | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
This week’s sermon, Some Easy Questions, is the second part of our series, "The End...What Happens Next?" Will our pets be in heaven? The Bible says animals will be there! Will we have bodies? Yes—just as Jesus had a resurrected body, so will we. Will we go to heaven immediately? Jesus told the thief on the cross, “Today, you will be with Me in paradise.” We will have emotions, communicate, and know what’s happening on earth. While we won’t know everything, we will gain an eternal perspective. Heaven will be full of joy, peace, and discovery!

Life Giving Farmers | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In the final message of the "R.E.A.L." series, we are reminded that our faith is meant to be lived out, not just remembered as a good sermon. Just as farmers plant seeds expecting a harvest, believers are called to plant seeds of the gospel, trusting that God will bring the increase. Psalm 56:8 assures us that God sees our struggles and holds our tears, while Isaiah 41:10 reminds us of His strength and presence. Romans 8:37-39 declares that nothing can separate us from His love. When we share our faith, we may be planting, watering, or witnessing the harvest, but it all starts with sowing. We reap what we sow, and we must sow before we reap. The gospel is the greatest story ever told, and we are entrusted to share it. Join us in this mission and be encouraged to sow generously, knowing God will bring the harvest.

Authentic Witnesses | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
What does it mean to be an Authentic Witness? In the third message of our R.E.A.L. series, we explore Acts 1:4-8, where Jesus calls us to be His witnesses—sharing what we’ve seen and heard. Being a witness isn’t about debating or having all the answers; it’s about telling your story. Just like the apostles, Paul, and the shepherds who saw Jesus, we’re called to share how God has transformed our lives. Your testimony is powerful, and God can use it to change lives. Don’t miss this message on how to confidently share your faith in a real, personal way!

Engaging Influencers | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In the sermon Engaging Influencers, the focus is on being effective witnesses for Christ. Jesus calls believers to be salt and light (Matthew 5:13-14), symbolizing their role in influencing the world. Salt preserves enhances, and represents covenant, reminding believers to uphold Christian values and prevent moral decay. Light represents visibility and guidance—believers must shine for others to see God through them. Jesus was the light while on earth, but now His followers carry that role. Christians must engage the world, remove any "baskets" of fear or shame, and boldly share their faith. Influence where God has placed you!

Relevant Fisherman | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
🚨NEW SERIES ALERT🚨
In the first message of the new R.E.A.L. series, “Relevant Fisherman,” we see how Jesus called His disciples—many of whom were fishermen—to become fishers of men. Using their skills and experience, He taught them how to reach people for the Kingdom. Just like fishing requires bait, casting, and knowing where the fish are, sharing the gospel requires telling our story, putting it out there, and reaching people where they are. Every story of God’s goodness is bait; when we share it, we give others a taste of how real He is. There is an urgency in spreading the gospel—Jesus has called us to fish for people, and we must take every opportunity to share His love.

Lordship | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In the final message of the *You Are Here* series, Pastor Mark emphasized the importance of Lordship and keeping our hearts as good ground for God’s Word. A good heart is humble, soft, and holy—set apart for God. We begin with a soft heart at salvation, but life’s trials can harden it, hindering spiritual growth. Humility and holiness are key to staying God-centered, as God dwells with those of lowly and contrite hearts (Isaiah 57:15). Being holy doesn’t mean perfection; it means being set apart for God, living differently from the world and remaining open to His Word.

Discipleship | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
This week's sermon, titled *Discipleship*, delves into the parable of the sower in Mark 4 and explores what it means to be "Close to God" in our faith journey. Pastor Mark unpacks the challenges believers face when navigating worldly "currents" that threaten to pull us away from God's Word. Using vivid analogies and scripture from Mark, Ezekiel, and other passages, he explains how thorns—representing the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and desires for other things—choke our spiritual growth. With practical insights and spiritual truths, this message encourages us to rely on God's Word to resist the enemy's attacks and remain rooted in discipleship.

Relationship | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
This week in our series, *You Are Here*, we focus on "Relationship" and what it means to begin in God. Building on last week's message about fellowship, this sermon dives into how a relationship with God starts by embracing grace and standing firm in His Word despite the enemy's attempts to steal it. Drawing from Mark 4 and Revelation 12, we explore the battle for our faith and how understanding God’s truth helps us grow from exploring God to living fully centered in Him.

His Christmas | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In the final message of the “Living in His Presence” series, titled “His Christmas”, the focus is on living a lifestyle of worship. Based on Matthew 2:1-12, the story of the wise men teaches us about expectant, expressive, and extravagant worship. Traveling great distances, they honored Jesus with gifts symbolizing His royalty, divinity, and humanity. Their journey shows the devotion required to seek God's presence. This Christmas, we’re reminded to approach worship with the same passion, offering our best to God. True worship transforms us, drawing us closer to Him and deepening our joy in His presence.

Pastor Mark emphasizes that idols aren’t just physical objects—they’re anything we place above God in our lives. This message challenges us to identify and remove idols, repent, and live authentically with God.

His Worship | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
In this message, “His Worship,” we explore the true essence of worship—what it is and is not. Worship goes beyond singing or exalting God; it is about expressing love. You were created to give and receive love from God; worship is how we communicate that love. Learn how God commands us to love Him, equips us with the ability to do so, and how expressing our love deepens our relationship. Whether it’s in your everyday life or moments of intentional devotion, worship is love expressed. Discover practical ways to live a life of worship that draws you closer to God.

His Instrument | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
This week’s "His Instruments" message explores the link between music, worship, and our purpose. In Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, we see how Lucifer, once created with instruments within him, fell by seeking worship for himself, leading to his expulsion from heaven. God then created us with instruments—our voices, breath, and hands—meant for His glory. Worship is more than music; it’s an intentional expression of love and reverence. As we use our lives as instruments of worship, we reflect God’s glory, bringing His presence into every moment.

His Presence | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
🚨NEW SERIES ALERT🚨
The new series "Living in His Presence" explores God's omnipresence, inner presence, and manifest presence. While God is everywhere, His manifest presence is when He makes Himself known among us. In Genesis, Adam and Eve hid from God's presence after sinning, showing that sin can pull us away from experiencing His closeness. We can draw near and live in God’s presence daily through worship and obedience, not just on Sundays. Worship invites us to feel His nearness and respond to His leading. As we cultivate intentional worship, we discover that each day—good or bad—is richer when we walk with Jesus.

It's All About the Heart | Pastor Mark Pearce Pathway Church
Join us as we continue our series, 'Favored.' The message emphasizes that giving is fundamentally a matter of the heart, not just about money. Jesus teaches that the measure we use in judgment, forgiveness, and generosity will be returned to us. True giving reflects God’s nature—He gave His Son and expects us to give of ourselves in all aspects of life, not just financially. Developing a generous, selfless heart is key to living a life blessed by God, as it aligns our hearts with His and allows His blessings to flow through us.
