Mind Your Tongue
John Mark returns to the Book of James to talk about “Inside Out” change, and how setting our hearts and minds aright will show up in our actions. He reads James 3:1-12, Proverbs 12:18 and James 1:19 to point out the dangers of untamed tongues and to offer a better approach.

Fellowship: Love God, Love Your Neighbor
John Mark asks, “What is Fellowship Bible Church of Batesville about?” He gives Jesus’s answer to the Pharisees in Matthew 22:34-40: Love God and love your neighbor. John Mark reviews our vision to “Reach, Connect, Equip, Send” as he reminds us that love is an act, a reaching out to all, as in Acts 10:13-17 and Acts 10:34-48.
Sermon 04-15-2012
Why Change: The Change
John Mark delivers the lasting answer to the question, “Why change?” The triumphant news of “The Change,” that Jesus conquered death for us, leads to our prayer that he would create in us pure hearts. We are guided to new lives by the message of Psalm 51:1-10 and Romans 5:6-10.
Sermon 04-08-2012
Why Change: Set Out In Anticipation
John Mark reminds us that even though we don’t get the mystery of God’s plan, it holds blessings beyond our hopes. He revisits Isaiah 6:1-8 and studies the failures to understand in Mark 10:35-45 and Mark 11:9. He encourages us to respond to mystery with the anticipation of Hebrews 12:1-3 and Isaiah 55:8-12.
Sermon 04-01-2012
Why Change: God Is Shaping Us
