God's Specialization is Resurrection - Easter 2026
Passover week is the greatest opportunity to share the Gospel! In this message, Pastor Bob unpacks how Jesus sent His disciples to share the good news, how we can practically do this today, and what we can expect when we step out in faith. The Gospel starts with GO! Visit Us: https://stjohnsdcc.org/ #stjohnsdcc.org #gosplstartswithGO #goodnews
Gospel Starts With "Go"
Join us for the uplifting 2-part series "Transforming Platforms into Pillars" on Sunday, March 8 and Sunday, March 15! Do you ever feel exhausted from the constant pressure to perform, compare yourself to others on social media, chase likes and validation, or build your own "brand" in a digital world that never stops demanding more? You're not alone—many of us are quietly worn down by anxiety, isolation, and the endless hustle to stand out, all while longing for deeper peace, purpose, and real connection. Statistics say that people feel both “connected” yet “isolated” from others more today than at any other time in human history. God has better plans for us! This 2-part series is inspired by Romans 11:33–12:2 and Pastor Mark Sayers' insightful new book Platforms to Pillars: Trading the Burden of Performance for the Freedom of God's Presence. This series invites us on a freeing Exodus journey: stepping out of the "Egypt" of self-promotion and platform mentality—where life feels more like a stage for personal glory—into the liberating role of pillars in God's presence. Pillars don't seek the spotlight; they provide steady support, bear loads for others, build community, and point everything back to God's glory, trading performance burdens for true freedom and a lasting legacy of love. Each message will provide you with Scripture-saturated teaching, relatable stories, and powerful contrasts between platform and pillar thinking— so you'll leave equipped and encouraged to: • live lighter • love deeper • enjoy God more freely Come as you are and walk away transformed. This series is for anyone ready to exchange exhaustion for God's empowering presence—let's journey together toward freedom and faithfulness!
