#PassoverLamb
“The Israelites were in Egypt. Failure to accept god's prescription, his his prescription to make it through this this Passover night meant death would come to their homes just as readily as it would visit the Egyptian's home. If Israel did not take the prescription, if they did not buy the book, do what god said to do, the death angel would have visited their home just like he did the Egyptian home. Amen? Whether an Israelite lived or died, listen and listen, don't miss any of this. Whether an Israelite lived or died depended what they did that lamb. Amen. And whether somebody today lives or dies, it depended upon what they do with the lamb of god. Understand that this evening.”
28s
“Jesus, even that he's about to go to the cross, he's already planning the reunion with the disciples. He knows they're going to run. He knows Peter will break. But that is the part of grace of God that we see in Jesus. Grace is already waiting on the other side of failure. As grace is first from God, so it will continually from him, as much as light is all day long from the sun, as well as first dawn or at sun rising.”
34s
#JesusDiedForUs
“He was singled out from the flock of the nation of Israel to be the lamb of god. Jesus was marked out for death before he was actually slain. I mean, the death of Christ was no surprise. Amen? It was not a surprise to god the father nor was it a surprise to him. All along, the intention of god was to have Jesus put to death for our sins. He did it for us.”
58s
#SpotlessLamb
“Understand that each household was not to go out into the flock and just look for any type of lamb. Not anyone, but they were to look for a spotless lamb. The slightest bruise, the the slightest scratch, a limp leg, a a blinded eye disqualified that creature from sacrifice. Later. The sacrifice had to be a perfect sacrifice. Why were they to look for a lamb without blemish? Well, not only that, but what did the lamb represent? Jesus Christ is the perfect lamb. lamb was to represent the perfection of our lord Jesus Christ.”
24s
“And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover? And he sent the two of his disciples and said to them, Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, The teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”
27s
“He knows if you're more like Mary, if there's those extravagant moments of worship ahead for you, if you're willing to give everything that you have. He knows if you're like Judas, you're going through the motions, that you're really not after his heart, that you're after your own. You're following Jesus for what you can get out of him. That's why Jesus, throughout the Gospels, when he does these great miracles, He knows who he knows this young man will redeem him.”
29s
“And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at the table, a one woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. There were some who said to themselves indignantly, why was ointment wasted like that? For this ointment could have been sold for more than 300 denarii and given to the poor. And they scolded her. But Jesus said, leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.”
32s
“You can never exhaust the grace of God. It is not a storehouse that is ever going to run empty. It is who Jesus is. He is the giver of grace. He bestows upon us that mercy. So we've seen in this kind of blockbuster story in Genesis, or Genesis, in Mark 14, that there's a few other characters besides Jesus and the disciples. We have Mary, who poured out all that she had for Jesus.”
32s
“He knows who the betrayer is. And he knows, Peter, before the rooster crows, before the sun comes up, you are going to deny me three times. But then he gives hope. But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee. It's not just about death. It's about resurrection. He's telling Peter, the devil's coming for you. The other gospels tells us that Satan has asked for permission to sift you like wheat, Peter.”
24s
“Where others saw waste, Jesus saw worship. It was beautiful in his eyes. It reminds them that when people share the gospel, when they talk about this moment, the entire world is going to remember her. And what I find is beautiful is that we believe Mark to be the first gospel that has been written, and the last gospel that has been written then would be the gospel of John.”

Why Gloucester Point churches are unique

Set beside the York River and Chesapeake Bay, churches in Gloucester Point reflect a waterfront lifestyle where neighbors look after one another through busy fishing seasons and occasional coastal storms. Many congregations pair practical service with worship that celebrates creation—think shoreline cleanups, meal trains, and storm-recovery efforts that rally the whole community. You’ll often find coastal community outreach, disaster relief and recovery teams, and creation care and bay stewardship expressed in weekly rhythms.
Proximity to the Coleman Bridge and nearby military installations makes Gloucester Point churches especially responsive to families on the move. Services and ministries often accommodate deployments, shift work, and commute patterns along Route 17, creating an easy on-ramp for newcomers and young families. Look for military family support groups, strong kids programs for young families, and weekday evening services for commuters throughout Gloucester Point churches.
The presence of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and nearby campus life adds an academic and international flavor to local congregations. This mix encourages thoughtful preaching, hospitality toward newcomers from around the world, and conversations that honor both faith and the sciences shaping bay life. Many communities offer college student ministries, faith and science conversations, and international student hospitality that make scholars and students feel at home.
