PASTOR MARSHALL OCHS | JUNE 21, 2026 In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Deuteronomy 4. Standing at the edge of the Promised Land, Moses tells a new generation two more stories, one a blessing and one a curse, and warns them not to forget. The pull toward idols, is real, but so is the mercy that says no one is ever too far gone. It all comes down to a single Hebrew word that shapes how God's people are meant to live.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | March 29, 2026 In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 13. In this chapter, Paul teaches that a Christian’s outward life should be marked by willingly submitting to governing authorities as an act of submission to God, while still prioritizing obedience to Christ above all. It emphasizes that believers carry an ongoing “debt” of love toward others, fulfilling God’s law through love rather than obligation. Finally, Paul urges Christians to live with urgency in light of Christ’s return—“putting on Christ” and rejecting sinful behavior so that their actions align with their identity in Him.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | March 15, 2026 In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 11. In this chapter, Paul explains that God has not rejected Israel. A faithful remnant of believing Jews still exists, just as it has throughout history. Paul teaches that Israel’s unbelief opened the door for Gentiles to receive the Gospel, and God will ultimately use Gentile faith to stir many Jews to believe in Christ as part of His larger redemptive plan. The chapter concludes by emphasizing God’s sovereign control over history and calling believers to respond to His wisdom and mercy with humble worship.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | February 22, 2026 In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 8. In this chapter, Paul contrasts the frustration of life under the law in Romans 7 with the freedom and new life found in Christ through the Holy Spirit, who dwells in believers and enables them to walk in obedience. Paul explains that believers are no longer slaves to sin but adopted children of God, called to live by the Spirit, persevere through suffering, and trust that present pain cannot compare to future glory. The chapter culminates in the assurance that God is working all things for His purposes and that nothing can separate believers from the love of Christ.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | February 8, 2026 In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 6. In this chapter, Paul teaches that God’s grace is not permission to continue sinning but the power to live a new life, because believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection and are therefore “dead to sin” and alive to God. Paul explains that Christians are no longer slaves to sin but are now called to live in obedience and righteousness, using the truth of their identity in Christ—especially verses like Romans 6:11—as a practical weapon against temptation.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | January 25, 2026 In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 4. In this chapter, Paul teaches that no one—Jew or Gentile—is made right with God by works or obedience to the Law, but by faith alone. Using Abraham as an example of righteousness credited through belief rather than actions, Paul explains that Abraham was declared righteous before circumcision, making him the father of faith for all who believe. This same faith now applies to believers who trust in Christ for forgiveness and resurrection life. The chapter concludes by emphasizing that the Christian life begins and continues in faith, expressed through dependence on God and persistent prayer.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | January 11, 2026 In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 2. In this chapter, Paul uses a toll called a diatribe to confront religious self-righteousness, showing that moral superiority, possession of the law, or outward signs like circumcision do not exempt anyone from God’s judgment. He argues that God shows no partiality. Our relationship with God is not based on ceremonies, activities, or lineage. It is rooted in faith and proved with Spirit-led obedience. Ultimately, Romans 2 levels everyone, revealing equal need for God and emphasizing that faith is proven by a transformed heart and life.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | December 21, 2025 In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Malachi 3-4. These chapters address Israel's questions about the prosperity of the wicked, promising that He will bring justice through His coming, which will purify and refine people. He warns Israel about their disobedience in tithing, showing that generosity reflects whether God is truly supreme in their lives, and calls them to return to Him with hearts of repentance. Ultimately, God promises that a day will come when He will distinguish the righteous from the wicked, and He encourages believers to prepare the way through repentance and restoration, starting in their own hearts and homes.
