How to Deal with Life When All Hevel Breaks Loose Jun 04, 2023

Show notes

You don't have to be familiar with the Hebrew language to understand the concept behind the word "hevel": Life can often feel chaotic and empty, meaningless and absurd—despite our best efforts to make it otherwise. In this message from Ecclesiastes, Pastor J.D. helps us see several absurdities about life, as well as vital truths that can help us live in light of these absurdities. For those who have surrendered fully to God, life is anything but meaningless, because there is hope to be found beyond what we merely see "under the sun."

100 Years of Racial Animus Gone in an Afternoon May 21, 2023

Show notes

As we conclude our series on ethnic unity, this week's message from Pastor J.D. and Pastor Bryan will help us cultivate a deeper understanding from John 4 of the concept of reconciliation—something that our world desperately needs. As the body of Christ, what we have in common is profound and beautiful, and ought to propel us toward unity. When we recognize this and take time to honor the humanity of those around us, we will be in a much better position to achieve ethnic unity.

The Road to Ethnic Unity May 14, 2023

Show notes

While we live in a time of much racial division and strife, we shouldn’t forget that Jesus did too. In this week’s message, Pastor Bryan invites us to reflect on a well-known story in John 4 where Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman left her forever changed—and was a powerful display of what it looks like to take the gospel across ethnic lines. Ultimately, only by aligning ourselves with Jesus' mission will we have any hope of accomplishing true ethnic unity.

Kainos People May 07, 2023

Show notes

As we begin our series on ethnic unity, Pastor J.D. leads us through a beautiful passage in Ephesians 2 that speaks to the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection to do what we could not: break down the wall of hostility between us. Rather than being a distraction from the gospel and from our pursuit of the Great Commission, we’ll learn why ethnic unity is actually essential to these things. Despite the obstacles that often stand in our way, the effort and commitment needed to achieve ethnic unity are undoubtedly well worth it.

Life Song Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

A person’s last words can often be very telling. In this week’s message, Pastor J.D. gives us a glimpse into a song that David wrote during an earlier time in his life, which serves as a summary of both his life and his ministry. From these “last words” of David, we can learn important truths about God—truths that sustained David, and that can sustain us through even the darkest of times.
