Jesus our Forerunner

So what keeps people from accessing the Promise of their inheritance in Christ? Is it our belief in Abba or what He has promised? Looking back to the story of Israel, how they viewed themselves caused a whole generation to die in the wilderness and miss the Promise. The same is true today. If we lack identity, we will undoubtedly miss our inheritance in all of what Jesus promised us as believers. Israel feared the giants in the land. However, what you will discover in this message from Pastor Mark Casto is a revelation that will free you from the voices of the giants inside. We are crossing over, will you come with us?

The Faith Rest Life

This message from Pastor Mark Casto was delivered at our June 2023 Regional Gathering. Our regional gatherings are one Friday Night a month where we invite other believers from all over the region to come experience what Abba is doing among our Kingdom family and invite pastors to come and be refreshed. In this message, Pastor Mark invites us to take the journey all the way into the promise and make sure that we don't stop just shy of all that Abba has promised because of we have found something that seems "good to us." Many by the grace of God have been able to escape evil, but can't recognize when we settle for "good." Don't settle for anything less that what God has promised.

Lessons From The Garden

In this message, Pastor Mark shares with us issues of the heart that hinder true fellowship. These issues are Koinonia killers, like insecurities, comparison, unrealistic expectations, preferences, and undealt with wounds.Let this message expose the issues of the heart, but may you also hear the call to dive deeper into greater fellowship with those Jesus has placed around you. Because if the gospel you and I have received does not translate into the most beautiful and messy experience of love with Biblical community, then we must admit we have not truly encountered Christ in fullness.

Issues of the Heart That Hinder True Fellowship

In John 5, Jesus told a group of Jewish leaders that you could be busy analyzing the Scriptures, frantically pouring over them to gain eternal life, and miss Him! If what you read in Scripture does not lead to an encounter with Jesus, you will never find eternal life.In this message from Pastor Mark Casto, he calls us to the understanding that in order to understand the Scriptures, you will have to see it through the illumination of the Holy Spirit. Many today are building their own religious ideas about Christ and His Kingdom because they have a set of verses but do not carry His Spirit. That can produce great tragedy in the life of those who have the Book but not the Author.

In this message, Pastor Mark Casto invites us to embrace the Scriptures just as Jesus, the Apostles, and Paul embraced them. In their day, the only Scriptures were the Old Testament.

The Old Testament In A Grace Awakening

In this teaching by Pastor Mark Casto, he shares with us the common value system of the early church...“Every believer was faithfully devoted to following the teachings of the apostles (the sent ones). Their hearts were mutually linked to one another, sharing communion and coming together regular for prayer. A deep sense of holy awe swept over everyone…” (Acts 2:42) Abba is restoring the church in the West back to original intent and that will require on our part to rid ourselves of casualness and take each step with intentionality toward Abba and the people He has called us to do life with.

Culture Meeting: Acts 2:42-47

Many people that hardly ever darken the door of the church will on Easter. However, even though they come to church, will they actually hear the gospel. In this message, Pastor Mark shares the difference between the legal retributive gospel that many of us heard growing up and the gospel as it was presented in the early church. Let's deal with the lie that salvation is totally dependent upon our actions and that God was at odds with the world and on Good Friday, His own Son. You got to hear this! This is the gospel!

The Gospel (Easter Sunday)

Pastor Mark continues our journey deeper into the book of Galatians as we discuss the Grace Awakening we experiencing by understanding the gospel of grace. This week we start in Galatians 3:1 where Paul says, “Didn’t God open your eyes to see the meaning of Jesus’ crucifixion.” We need our eyes to be opened to what Jesus has done on our behalf. No amount of supernatural activity or working of miracles can be seen as a reward of our ability to keep the rules. It is only by GRACE!

Wisdom Recognizes Grace

I have learned more about how to plant a church from this podcast than from any other source. 

What a great job establishing a kingdom culture. So many hearts are yearning for a demonstration and explanation of this authentic kingdom lifestyle. 

What a blessing this teaching is.

Kingdom culture taught and demonstrated

Mark, I want to express to you how much the true authentic heart of Abba imaged forth as you spoke, not from head knowledge but from a heart reality, of His nature as Father!  Been tracking with Apostle for a few years, with the Front porch podcast, and with you now in Covington and I am truly blessed and full of hope as I see God’s heart unveiled among the family!  Keep pressing forward and never look back.  Much honor!
