"But Teachest The Way Of God In Truth" | 4.12.26| Pastor Poke

God Save The King | 5.10.26 | Pastor Poke

God Save the King | Flowing TruthHoney Brook Baptist Church | Honey Brook, PA | Preached by Pastor Poke Shuler | May 10, 2026 In Second Kings 11, a wicked grandmother seizes a throne by slaughtering the royal family. But one woman — an aunt named Jehosheba — notices a baby in the chaos and makes a decision that changes everything. She steals him away, hides him in the house of God, and spends six years of her life making sure no one finds him. When the dust settles and the young boy Joash is finally crowned, the people cry out: God save the king. In this Mother's Day message, Pastor Poke Shuler draws out a question that cuts straight to the heart: how far are you willing to go to have impact in someone else's life? The story of Joash isn't just a piece of ancient history — it's a portrait of what it looks like when God's people take the raising of the next generation seriously. A committed aunt. A faithful priest. A confederacy of captains and guards who surrounded a young king on every side. None of them fully understood what was at stake. They just knew the king was worth protecting. The application lands close to home. Good men are made by being surrounded by good men. Godly women are shaped by the influence of godly women. Whether it's staying with them in the house of God, taking an oath alongside the people of the church, or putting your spear up before the enemy ever gets close — it costs something to raise a king. And most of the time, the people doing it don't live to see the full result. Pastor Shuler closes with a challenge that lingers well after the benediction. Look around you. Every person in that room is a potential king. Have you crowned them? Have you drawn your spear? Have you gotten into every corner? God saved the king. The question is — will you?

They Worshiped Him | 5.3.26 | Kevin Markham

They Worshiped Him | Flowing TruthHoney Brook Baptist Church | Honey Brook, PA | Preached by Kevin Markham | May 3, 2026 There are moments in life when everything around us feels like open water; no land behind us, no shore ahead. In Matthew 14, the disciples found themselves exactly there: in the middle of the sea, tossed by waves, fighting the wind through the darkest hours of the night. It was a storm they didn't choose, in a place they didn't fully understand; yet, it was exactly where Christ had sent them. In this message, Kevin Markham draws our attention not just to Peter stepping out of the boat, but to what happens when the storm finally ends. When Jesus climbs into the ship and the wind ceases, the disciples don't simply breathe a sigh of relief.. they worship. For the first time, they look at Christ and say with full conviction: of a truth, thou art the Son of God. The storm didn't destroy their faith. It deepened their understanding of who He is. God doesn't always remove us from hard places. Sometimes He puts us in them; to protect us from what's on the shore, to strip away the fear that clouds our vision, and to reveal Himself in ways we wouldn't see otherwise. The disciples needed the storm to recognize the Savior. Job needed loss to fall on his face in worship. And we are no different. Whether life is holding together or falling apart — whether the pieces fit or half of them are missing — the call is the same. Fear and faith cannot live in the same heart at the same time. When we fix our eyes on Christ instead of the boisterous winds around us, the storms of life stop pulling us away from God and start drawing us toward Him. What is the storm in your life trying to show you about who He is?

A Memorial of Honor | 4.26.26 | Pastor Poke

PODCAST DESCRIPTION A Memorial of HonorFlowing Truth | Honey Brook Baptist Church | Preached by Pastor Poke Shuler | April 26, 2026 What kind of story is your life telling? In Mark 14, a woman walks into a room carrying an alabaster box filled with precious ointment — and she breaks it. Not a little. Not carefully. She shatters it completely and pours every drop over the head of Jesus. The people around her were furious. They called it wasteful. But Jesus said something that has echoed across two thousand years: wherever this gospel is preached, what she has done will be spoken of as a memorial of her. Pastor Poke opens this passage with a searching question — not just about what we give, but about what our lives are actually pointing to. The alabaster box isn't the story. The oil isn't the story. She isn't the story. He is. And when you understand that, breaking the box isn't extreme. It's the only response that makes sense. This message walks through the honor of sacrifice, the cost of genuine commitment, and the long reach of a life surrendered to something — Someone — worth giving everything to. Pastor Poke weaves in the widow's two mites, the stories of his own parents, and the faithful men and women whose lives still speak long after they're gone. The memorial they left wasn't about them. It was about Jesus. What will yours be about? Honey Brook Baptist Church | Honey Brook, PA🎙️ Flowing Truth Podcast — available wherever you listen to podcasts📖 Scripture: Mark 14:1–9

Watch | 4.19.26 | Pastor Poke

Pastor Poke Shuler preaches through Mark 13 with one word on his mind: watch. It starts with a disciple marveling at the stones of the temple — massive, hand-hewn, perfectly fitted. Jesus looks at him and says not one of them will be left standing. From there, four disciples pull Jesus aside privately and ask what every believer eventually asks: when, where, how? And Jesus does what he always does — he tells them the truth. All of it. Two thousand years of it, compressed into a handful of verses. Pastor Poke walks through the wonder of watching, the warning not to be deceived by what looks right on the outside, the weight of the sorrows to come, and why watching without worshiping is just anxiety with good intentions. Jesus didn't end his message with a timeline or a prophecy chart. He ended it with one word, said to all: watch. Are you watching? Or have you been roaming?

"But Teachest The Way Of God In Truth" | 4.12.26| Pastor Poke

Pastor Poke Shuler preaches through Mark 12 on what it looks like to live and give in truth. Using four encounters Jesus has — with the Pharisees and Herodians, the Sadducees, a searching scribe, and a poor widow — he works through what truth actually does to a person when they let it in. Truth shapes our attitude. It brings awareness of things we'd rather avoid. It defines us by how we respond when we hear it. And at the end of the day, it shows up in how we give — not just financially, but in how much of ourselves we're actually handing over to God. The widow didn't give much by anyone's standard. But she gave in truth, and that made it worth more than everything thrown in before her. Truth has a way of turning the world's math upside down.
