How Not to Die Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

In this message from 1 Samuel, Pastor J.D. walks through the tragic last chapter of Israel’s first king. King Saul held such promise in the beginning. But the longer he reigned, the more it became clear that he wanted God’s blessing much more than he wanted God. And Saul isn’t alone: In the church today, many people seem destined to miss heaven by 18 inches—the distance between your head and your heart.

The Tests of Authentic Christianity Oct 09, 2022

Show notes

In this message from 1 John, Pastor Bryan contrasts authentic Christianity with an incredibly common (and incredibly dangerous) alternative—Bible belt Christianity. Bible belt Christianity has just enough Jesus to make you feel acceptable, but not enough to make you uncomfortable. Like auditing a class, Bible belt Christianity says, “Give me the information without the responsibilities.”
The trouble is, it just doesn’t work. If our relationship with God never confronts our idols, never rubs up against old patterns of behavior, never changes us, then it’s not a real relationship at all.

A Crack in the Armor: The Episode with Abigail Oct 02, 2022

Show notes

One day, the story of your life will be told to the next generation. How do you want today’s chapter to be told? As a season of faithfulness, trust, and integrity? Or as the moment when you decided to walk away from everything—and everyone—you once served?
In this message from 1 Samuel 25, Pastor J.D. shows us King David at a critical juncture, fresh off his faithful response to the murderous King Saul. But when a smaller obstacle meets David, he stumbles and nearly falls. The only thing that prevents David from veering into a pattern of sin and foolishness is an obscure figure—one of the wisest (and least known) people in the entire Bible.

Wait For It Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

What do you do when the path you’re on takes an expected turn for the worst? In this message from 1 Samuel 24, Pastor J.D. follows King David into an unexpected place—the wilderness. At this point in his life, David had been chosen to be king. And yet circumstances sent him running for his life. David’s temptation in this season echoes our own: When our plans seem to be going south, we can take matters into our own hands. Or we can follow David, doing the hardest thing in the Bible—trust God and actively wait on his timing.

If You're Happy and You Know It... Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

In this message on Psalm 1, Pastor Curtis asks a question as old as time itself: “How can I be happy?” Most of us, if we were honest, would admit that we’re not living our “happiest” lives—but maybe, someday, hopefully … we might? In this ancient psalm, we’ll learn practical wisdom about the source of lasting happiness. It’s not a matter of circumstance, or relational status, or wealth. It’s simultaneously simpler and more complicated than that: happiness is only the fruit; what matters is where we plant our roots.
