Stand Firm || Putting on Christ (Part Two) Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

You know the armor. But do you know what it actually is? Belt of truth. Breastplate of righteousness. Shield of faith. Most of us have heard the list so many times it stopped meaning anything. But Paul isn't giving you a checklist — he's pointing you to a Person. Every single piece of the armor turns out to be Jesus. And the question isn't whether you ran through your spiritual warfare routine this morning. It's whether you clothed yourself with Him.

Stand Firm || The War You’re Already In (Part One) May 25, 2026

Show notes

What if the enemy you've been fighting isn't the person across the table from you? In Ephesians 6, Paul names something most of us have been too modern — or too polite — to take seriously: there is a real, organized, unseen opposition to everything Jesus is building in you and in this church. Not a metaphor. Not a mood. A war. And you're already in it. The question isn't whether you'll fight. It's whether you'll finally stop swinging at the wrong target.

The Revolution Under Your Roof May 18, 2026

Show notes

What does it look like when the Spirit of Jesus actually changes things at home — not in theory, but in your kitchen, your conversations, your closest relationships? In Ephesians 6, Paul walks the cosmic story of Jesus right into the most ordinary place you can think of: your house. Children and parents, workers and bosses — every relationship gets run through the same question. Not "who's in charge?" but "who are you serving?" The kingdom doesn't climb over people to get what it wants. It stands under. And the only way that becomes real in your life is when the Spirit makes it real.

Mother to the Motherless May 11, 2026

Show notes

On a day that holds both joy and grief for many, Missy Bell — foster mom and leader of Olive Crest San Diego — brings a timely word about what it truly means to be a mother. Drawing from the stories of Hagar and Pharaoh's daughter, she explores how God sees the invisible, stays with the hurting, and calls His people to do the same. Being a "mother to the motherless" isn't about heroism or perfection — it's about presence, consistency, and saying yes to the child in front of you.

The Unity Of the Marriage In Christ May 05, 2026

Show notes

What if the most countercultural thing you could do in a relationship is actually yield?

In Ephesians 5, Paul isn't just writing a marriage manual — he's painting a picture of what all relationships look like when Christ is at the center. Married or single, we are all designed for deep, sacrificial, unified community. And getting there requires something our culture rarely celebrates: mutual submission.

In this episode, Luis and Erika unpack what "submit to one another" really means — and why it's nothing like the word sounds. Two people, or a whole community, whose needs are so fully met in God that they're finally free to stop manipulating and start ministering to each other.

Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between — this one is for you. Because when our relationships reflect God's love, the world takes notice.

Be Filled With the Spirit Apr 26, 2026

Show notes

What if most of your life isn't governed by rules at all — and that's actually the point?

In Ephesians 5, Paul gives his spiritual children not a longer list of restrictions, but something far more liberating: guiding lights for navigating the wide-open freedom of life in Christ. Be wise. Discern God's will. And above all — be filled with the Spirit. In this episode, Evan Wickham unpacks what it actually means to be Spirit-filled, and why Paul contrasts it with getting drunk. Both involve an outside influence. But one makes you less yourself. The other makes you more.

The Holy Spirit isn't a religious experience reserved for a certain kind of Christian. He's the Personal Presence of Jesus — living with you, shaping you, available to you right now. The question isn't whether He's there. It's whether you're awake to it.

The Promise Underneath Apr 19, 2026

Show notes

What if the reason our culture's approach to sex produces so much wreckage isn't that the rules are too strict, but that our view of sex is too small?

In this episode, Evan Wickham works through one of Paul's most direct passages in Ephesians, unpacking the word ‘porneia’ and what Jesus really meant when he pointed us back to Genesis. At the center of it all is a single idea: the physical union was never meant to be separated from the covenant underneath it. When it is, we’re not just breaking a rule, we're trying to live in a world that doesn't exist.

This sermon isn't primarily about what not to do. It's about what we were made for: the fragrance of self-giving love, the God who thinks the best way to be God is to wash feet, and what it looks like to wake up into the light of who you already are in Christ.

The World Your Soul Is Homesick For Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

In Ephesians 4, Paul paints a picture of a world where people tell the truth, carry one another’s burdens, speak life, and forgive freely. A world marked by “true righteousness and holiness”—not as cold religious words, but as a lived reality of deep connection, trust, and belonging.

But Paul is clear: that kind of life doesn’t happen by accident. It requires putting off the old ways that hollow us out and putting on a new way of being—one shaped by Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and formed over time through renewed thinking.

This passage isn’t a list of rules. It’s a map back home.

And the invitation is simple: What is one thing you need to put off? And what is the Spirit inviting you to put on?

Because the world your soul is homesick for… is the very life God is forming in you right now.

Easter 2026: Resurrection | Life After Heaven Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

What happens after we die—and why does it matter now?

In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul makes a bold claim: if Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, our faith falls apart. But if He did… then everything changes—not just for Him, but for us.

Easter isn’t only about Jesus’ resurrection. It’s about our future resurrection.

The Bible doesn’t describe our story as simply life → heaven. It’s bigger than that:
life → life after death → resurrection—a fully restored, physical life in God’s renewed creation.

This means our future isn’t a distant, disembodied existence, but real, embodied life with God—where everything broken is made whole.

And that future hope reshapes how we live today.

Because of the resurrection, nothing done in Jesus’ name is wasted. Our work, our faithfulness, our love—it all carries into eternity.

Palm Sunday Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as a King—but not the kind people expected. Riding on a donkey, He revealed a kingdom marked by humility, not power. And instead of heading to a palace, He went straight to the temple… and turned it upside down.

In a moment that shocked the crowd, Jesus cleared out the barriers that kept outsiders at a distance and made room for healing, worship, and belonging. The message was unmistakable: God’s house is for everyone.

This Palm Sunday, we’re invited to see who Jesus really is—and to respond. The door is open. The invitation is simple: say yes to Him.
