Why is our world filled with brokenness, shame, conflict, and pain? Genesis 3 takes us to the moment everything changed, revealing how sin entered through a subtle distortion of God's truth and replaced trust in His goodness with the desire to live life on our own terms.Yet the story does not end with human failure. Even in the aftermath of rebellion, God is the One who seeks the lost, offering the hope that ultimately finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Through His grace, what sin shattered can be restored.Watch this message and discover how the Bible's story of brokenness ultimately points to God's greater story of redemption.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Genesis 1:26-31 | Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


Who are you, really?


In this message, Pastor Mark Hunt reminds us that our identity is not found in achievements, status, or the approval of others. It is found in the God who created us.


Genesis reveals that every person is made in God's image, with inherent dignity, value, and purpose. We do not have to earn our worth because we have already been created on purpose by a loving Creator.


Watch, be encouraged, and rediscover the identity and purpose God has given you.

1 John 3:18 | Sermon by Israel Rosas


Love is more than words. It is demonstrated through action.


In this message, Israel Rosas reminds us that genuine faith is expressed through compassion, generosity, forgiveness, and service to others. As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect God's love not only in what we say, but in how we live.

Watch, be encouraged, and ask yourself: How can I put God’s love into action this week?

Sermon Replay | Encountering Jesus: The Grieving
Mary & Martha | John 11:1–44
Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


What do we do when God seems late? In one of the most moving encounters in the Gospels, Jesus meets Mary and Martha in the midst of deep grief after the death of their brother Lazarus. Their story reminds us that faith does not eliminate sorrow, and that God welcomes our questions, tears, and disappointments. Yet even in the darkest moments, Jesus reveals Himself as the Resurrection and the Life, bringing hope where all hope seems lost.


If you are walking through grief, uncertainty, or waiting for God to act, this message offers a powerful reminder that Jesus is present, compassionate, and sovereign even when we cannot yet see what He is doing.

Sermon Replay | When the Spirit Crosses Borders
Acts 2:1–21
Sermon by Sadoc Chongo


What if the Holy Spirit’s power was never meant to stay within walls, cultures, or comfort zones? This Pentecost Sunday, Sadoc Chongo reminded us that the birth of the Church was marked not by uniformity, but by God bringing people together through His Spirit across languages, nations, and backgrounds.


Acts 2 reveals a God who fills ordinary people with extraordinary purpose, calling them to boldly carry hope, grace, and the gospel beyond borders. As we reflected on the Chongo family’s upcoming mission to serve refugees in Glasgow, Scotland, we were challenged to ask ourselves: where might God be calling us to step out in faith, depend more deeply on His Spirit, and become part of His work in the world today?

Sermon Replay | Encountering Jesus: The Broken
The Man Born Blind, John 9:1–41
Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


What if the very places in our lives that feel broken are the places where Jesus wants to bring healing, clarity, and transformation? In John 9, Jesus meets a man born blind and reminds us that suffering is not always something to explain away, but often an opportunity for God’s work to be revealed in us.


This message is a powerful invitation to stop searching only for answers and begin seeking a deeper relationship with Christ even in the middle of pain, questions, and uncertainty. Watch this week’s sermon replay and discover how an encounter with Jesus can open our eyes to true hope, grace, and new life.

What happens when sincere faith still leaves you searching? In this message from John 3, we encounter Nicodemus a respected and deeply religious leader who comes to Jesus with honest questions. Yet Jesus invites him beyond knowledge and tradition into something far greater: a true spiritual rebirth.⁠

Sermon Replay | The King Who Restores the Failure

John 21:1–19

Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


In this powerful message from Pastor Mark Hunt at Union Church of Guatemala, we reflect on how Jesus restores Peter after his denial, meeting him not with shame but with grace right in the middle of his ordinary life. As Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?”, He is not reopening wounds but healing them, addressing the root of his failure and restoring his purpose.


This sermon reminds us that grace is personal and transformative, and that failure does not disqualify us. Instead, it can become the very place where Jesus meets us, restores what is broken, and calls us forward into renewed purpose.

"The King Who Doesn’t Shame the Doubter" Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt Recorded on April 12, 2026

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Shame the Doubter
John 20:24–29
Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


Not everyone arrives at faith with certainty, and in this passage we meet Thomas in his honest doubt. What we see is a different kind of King. Jesus does not distance Himself or rebuke him. He moves closer, meeting Thomas right where he is. This reminds us that doubt is not the opposite of faith, but often part of the journey toward deeper trust.


Jesus invites us, just as He did Thomas, to take the next step, even if it feels small. Faith grows over time, shaped not by having all the answers, but by responding to His presence. Wherever you find yourself today, certain or questioning, confident or unsure, Jesus meets you there and invites you into a relationship marked by grace, patience, and surrendered trust.


Watch the full sermon and be encouraged in your walk of faith.

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Stay Dead

Matthew 28:1–10

Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


What if the story didn’t end where it seemed final?This past Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt led us through the powerful truth of the resurrection, reminding us that Jesus is the King who does not stay in the grave. In a world where so many things feel final, God steps in and rewrites the ending with life, hope, and restoration.


Through the story of the women at the tomb, we are reminded that faith and fear can exist together. You do not need perfect certainty to encounter the living Christ. He meets us right where we are.


And the resurrection is not only something to believe. It is something to share. The hope we receive becomes the hope we carry to others. Easter declares this with clarity and power: death does not have the final word. God does.


Watch the full sermon and be reminded that hope is alive.

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Crush His Enemies
Matthew 21:1–11, Zechariah 9:9
Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


On Palm Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt invited us to slow down and reflect on the kind of King Jesus reveals Himself to be. He comes not with force, but in humility. Not to dominate, but to draw near.


While the crowds longed for a ruler who would overcome their enemies, Jesus came to address something deeper within the human heart. He does not crush. He moves closer, meeting us with compassion, truth, and the invitation to be made new.


As we consider His way, we are gently invited to follow. To release the need to control, and to choose humility, grace, and love even when it is not easy.


In His kingdom, transformation unfolds quietly through surrender, through trust, and through the steady, redeeming power of love.

Matthew 6:9-13, 1 Chronicles 29:11

Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


As we close our nine-week journey through the Lord’s Prayer, we are reminded that our security is not found in what we can control, but in who God is.


Through the lives of King David and Nebuchadnezzar, Pastor Mark points us to a deeper truth: human control is an illusion, but God’s kingdom, power, and glory are eternal.


True peace begins when we surrender to His authority and anchor our lives in His unchanging kingdom.


Live today with confidence and hope, trusting the One who reigns forever.

Sermon Replay | Lead Us Not Into Temptation but Deliver Us from Evil
Matthew 6:13
Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


This Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt reflected on the final petition of the Lord’s Prayer and reminded us that temptation often does not appear obviously evil. More often, it presents itself as what seems practical, efficient, or even successful. Yet Jesus teaches us to pray for God’s protection because our strength alone is not enough.

Through examples such as Jesus in the wilderness and Joseph in Egypt, we are reminded that victory over temptation comes not through sheer willpower but through dependence on the Father. In a world full of subtle shortcuts and compromises, Pastor Mark encouraged us to remain spiritually vigilant through daily surrender to God, seeking His wisdom, staying rooted in Christian community, and feeding our hearts with the truth of Scripture.

Matthew 6:11

Sermon by Paul Garrett


This Sunday, Paul Garrett reminded us that daily bread is more than provision for the body. It is an invitation to daily trust.


We do not live on yesterday’s grace. We come to the Father again and again, trusting Him as our source and carrying one another’s needs as our own.


May we walk into this week with open hands and confident hearts, knowing His mercies are new every morning.

Sermon Replay | Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done

Matthew 6:10

Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


In this message from our Teach Us to Pray series, we explore what it truly means to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done.” This petition invites more than agreement. It calls for surrender.


Jesus shows that seeking God’s kingdom requires recalibrating our plans and releasing control, as He did in Gethsemane. Through the examples of William Wilberforce and Zacchaeus, we see that God’s kingdom values justice, humility, and integrity over status. Prayer, then, reshapes how we live. As we pursue the Father’s will in everyday life, we discover that surrender leads to true strength and spiritual freedom.

Matthew 6:9, Exodus 20:7

Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


In this message from our "Teach Us to Pray" series, we consider the first request of the Lord’s Prayer and its meaning for everyday faith. To “hallow” God’s name is to honor and set Him apart above every personal desire, recognizing His holiness in both word and life.


Prayer, then, becomes more than words. It becomes a way of living that honors God privately and publicly as we represent Him to the world.

Sermon Replay | What Is the Church
Ephesians 2:19–22
Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


In this message shared before our Annual Congregational Meeting, we reflect on the true identity of the Church. Scripture reminds us that the Church is not defined by a building, a legal structure, or a meeting place, but by the people of God, united in Christ and built together on Him as the cornerstone.


This sermon calls us to see ourselves not as spectators or guests, but as family members who belong, participate, and take shared responsibility for the life and mission of the Church. Commitment, faithfulness, and generosity are framed as expressions of ownership and love for the community God has entrusted to us.


As we listen, we are invited to move deeper into unity, purpose, and active engagement, living as God’s household for His glory and the good of our local community.

Matthew 6:9–13

Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


In this message from our Teach Us to Pray series, we reflect on the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer and the meaning of addressing God as Our Father. Jesus invites us to approach prayer not from a place of performance or achievement, but from a stance of belonging. Prayer flows from adoption into God’s family, shaping our identity and grounding us in trust rather than anxiety or control.

Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room
Love Moves In
Matthew 2 verses 1 to 12


In this sermon, Matthew Lofland reflects on the journey of the Magi and reminds us that God draws people to Himself by grace, not by personal effort or wisdom.

Encountering Jesus changes our direction. Just as the wise men returned home by a different way, meeting Christ invites us to walk in obedience and trust rather than fear.

This message calls us to begin a new season rooted not in self improvement, but in our union with Christ, where true identity and purpose are found.

In the final week of Advent, we reflect on Emmanuel, God with us. Through Joseph’s story, this sermon reminds us that God often shows up through disruption, not perfection. Faithful obedience looks like small courageous steps, choosing trust even when the path is unclear. As we release our timelines and honestly name our struggles, we make room for a love that does not stay distant but moves into the middle of our real lives.

"Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room – Clear the Way"
Mark 1:1-8
Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


Advent is more than the countdown to Christmas. It is a sacred season of hopeful waiting and intentional preparation. In this message, we move from Advent’s longing to its call to prepare, clearing space in our hearts for Christ to come in fresh and transforming ways.


Drawing from the opening verses of Mark, Pastor Mark reminds us of John the Baptist’s urgent invitation to “prepare the way of the Lord” through repentance and renewal. As we continue through this season, we are encouraged to slow down and ask three honest questions:


What needs to be removed
What needs to be surrendered
What needs to be welcomed


May this week be a time of clearing the way so every heart can prepare Him room.

True gratitude is more than a season. It is a daily posture that trains our hearts to see God at work in every circumstance. In this message, we reflect on the biblical call to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all things. Gratitude becomes our way of life when we remember His faithfulness in the past, recognize His presence in the present, and trust His promises for the future.#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠

In this week’s message, we look back with gratitude at our church’s heritage and are reminded that our life together is a gift we are called to steward well. Through the story of Zacchaeus, we reflect on three marks of a thriving church: hospitality that welcomes, wisdom that seeks God’s direction, and generosity that flows from grace.


May we continue living out these truths as we serve God’s purposes together.

As we recall acts of courage and grace, we are called to live with gratitude, humility, compassion, and unity.

Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt


True freedom is not the absence of limits but the presence of truth. This message contrasts the world’s fragile idea of freedom with the lasting liberation that comes from Christ. Through His Word, we discover freedom from fear, freedom to be honest, freedom from the past, and freedom for a purpose. Only the truth of Jesus can hold us steady when everything else falls apart.

Our love reveals to the world who Jesus is. Watch or listen again and be encouraged to live the way of love.⁠

The Way of the Kingdom – Luke 9:23–27


This message explores what it truly means to follow Jesus. Mathew Lofland reminds us that taking up our cross daily is not a call to hardship for its own sake, but an invitation to real life through surrender to Christ.


True discipleship means letting go of self, finding life by losing it, and living unashamed of Jesus in light of His coming glory.


Watch or listen again and be encouraged to walk the way of the cross, the way of true life.⁠

The Way of the Kingdom – Matthew 5:12


This week’s message by Pastor Mark Hunt, titled Living the Jesus Way, begins a short series on what it truly means to follow Christ in everyday life. Drawing from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1–12, Pastor Mark explains that these verses describe the character of God’s kingdom and call us to live in a way that often seems upside down to the world but is right side up to God.


He compares this transformation to reorienting a map, showing that the way of Jesus is not about trying harder but trusting deeper. While the world values pride, success, and recognition, Jesus points to humility, mercy, purity of heart, and peace, even in times of suffering or persecution.


Watch or listen again and let this message help you realign your life with the way of the kingdom.⁠

Risk at the Threshing Floor

Ruth 3:1–18


Ruth chapter 3 shows us what bold faith looks like in action. Naomi urged Ruth to take a courageous step at the threshing floor, and Boaz responded with integrity and grace. This story not only points to redemption through Boaz, but also to Jesus Christ as our ultimate Redeemer.


Listen and be encouraged to live with courageous faith and use your influence to bless others.

Faithfulness in the Field

Ruth 2:1–23


Even in the ordinary routines of life, God is at work in ways we often cannot see. This week’s message invites us into Ruth’s journey of gleaning in Boaz’s field, a simple act of obedience that became the doorway to extraordinary favor and provision.


Through Ruth’s story, we are reminded that faithfulness and integrity in the everyday can open doors to God’s unseen blessings, touch the lives of others, and reflect His radical generosity. Just as Ruth encountered her guardian redeemer, we too are called to trust in God’s providence and rest in His care, even when our own efforts seem small.


Take time to listen and be encouraged. Your daily faithfulness matters more than you know.⁠

Faith in the Famine

Ruth 1:1–22


We begin our new series, Redeeming Love: The Story of Ruth, a journey through one of the most moving accounts of heartache, loyalty, courage, and redemption in Scripture.


This first message draws us into Naomi’s grief and bitterness and Ruth’s covenant love, her steadfast devotion that shines even in the darkest of times. It reminds us that God is never absent, even in seasons of emptiness and loss. He is shaping something greater, just as a sculptor turns rough stone into a masterpiece.


Come and be encouraged to trust His redemptive work, believing that beyond the famine lies a harvest filled with hope.⁠

"Convictions in a Compromised World" Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt Recorded on August 17, 2025

Convictions in a Compromised World
Daniel 1:1–21


Yesterday we looked at how Daniel and his friends chose faithfulness over conformity in a culture that pressured them to compromise. Even in seemingly small decisions, their resolve became the compass that guided their lives and opened the way for God’s blessing.


This sermon reminds us that today’s faithful choices, no matter how small, shape tomorrow’s influence and integrity. It calls us to reflect on where we might be compromising and how God can build spiritual resilience in us when we choose conviction over convenience.


Listen to the full message and be encouraged to stand firm in your faith.

"The Strength to Learn: Humility in the Way of Christ" Sermon by Mark Hunt Recorded on Aug. 10, 2025

This Sunday, we reflected on Philippians 2 and discovered that humility is not weakness but true strength in the way of Christ. Through the example of Jesus, who humbled Himself for our sake, and stories from Moses, Ford, and Pixar, we were reminded that listening well and admitting our mistakes open the door to growth.


Humility shapes not only our personal walk with God but also the life of our church family, creating a place where everyone can flourish. Let us follow Christ’s example and walk humbly, together.
