Eschatology and Mission Nov 16, 2024

Show notes

What in the world does the future have to do with mission? How should the future promises of God change the way we love our neighbor? Listen and hear how the wonderful realities of us one day seeing Jesus face-to-face changes the way we proclaim the gospel in the present.

Delight in the Lord who Delights in You Nov 09, 2024

Show notes

Fretting and fear lie to us about our God. They say that our suffering is evidence that God is against us. In this context the command to, "Delight yourself in the Lord" seems like an impossible ask because you will never delight in God if you don't believe he is for you! Instead, you will fear and fret. But the good news of the gospel is that God is for you in Jesus Christ, and he is totally committed to your everlasting joy and peace.

Living By Faith in Evil Times Nov 02, 2024

Show notes

Summary: There are evil people in this world with massive amounts of power, influence, success, and prosperity. So, how are we as Christians to respond to this fact? How are we to live in the "already / not yet" of Jesus' Kingdom? Psalm 37 helps us navigate the temptations we face because it is honest with us about the difficulty of living in this present evil age, but is committed to help us live in light of the future realities promised to us in the gospel of Jesus Christ and his coming eternal Kingdom.

The Satisfying Waters of Rest Oct 26, 2024

Show notes

More than ever, we are being discipled by a culture of hurry and distraction. However, God created a world where rest was a built-in rhythm necessary for all humans to flourish. Listen and hear how the gospel frees us from building an identity in anything other than Christ.

Messy Prayers Oct 19, 2024

Show notes

Is your prayer life as messy as your real life? If not, why? What parts of your life are you holding back or shoving down or cleaning up before you bring them to God? Over and over again, we see the Psalmist showing us what it looks like to bring our real, unfiltered selves into the presence of God, even when our real selves happen to be a mess. In this sermon we will explore some of these things a little deeper.

The “Why” of Christianity Oct 12, 2024

Show notes

We talk a lot about “how to become a Christian?” or “how to live the Christian life?” but in this message, we are going to take some time to think about the “why.” What is it that ought to motivate us to follow God? As we look at 2 Kings 13 we will consider 4 different motivations for being a Christian in order to see which one is big enough to keep us following God all of our life.

Grief and Our Great Enemy Oct 05, 2024

Show notes

How would you respond if you looked into the future and perceived a new political leader coming to power that you knew for certain was bent on bringing untold suffering on you and the ones you loved? This was the position Elisha found himself in here in 2 Kings 8. However, Elisha is not the only one who finds himself facing an enemy that is stronger than he is and bent on bringing him harm. Paul tells us that, as Christians, we too find ourselves in a similar situation. In this message, we will consider one of the ways that the Bible calls us to respond to it.

Loss, Regret, and Restoration Sep 28, 2024

Show notes

What do we do with our regrets? And how does the promise of restoration deal with all that we end up missing out on in life because of the things we have lost? In this passage, the author of 2 Kings writes to a people who have lost everything and are struggling with regret. He gives us a glimmer of hope and helps us see why we should continue to wait for the LORD even in seasons of significant loss.

Too Good to be True Sep 21, 2024

Show notes

Sometimes, what makes God’s promises seem difficult to believe is how big they are. In the midst of terrible loss, it can be hard to believe that God has a plan to use even loss for our ultimate good. In the midst of deep loneliness, it can be difficult to believe that God is with us, and in the midst of inexcusable failure, it can be hard to fathom that he continues to enjoy loving us. These are some big promises, and in this passage, we will consider some different ways that people respond to things they consider too good to be true.

Knowing the Good Shepherd Sep 14, 2024

Show notes

Description: Psalm 23 is a well-known Psalm about God as our Shepherd. With lush imagery about green pastures and waters of rest, it is no wonder it's a favorite of many. But what happens when we find ourselves in the valley of deep darkness? Listen and hear about the good news of a Shepherd with his people in the darkness, using it all to help us better know him.
