Death, Life, Purpose

July 09, 2023 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MB

This week, College Pastor Austin Murray led us through Ephesians 2:1-10. As a church, we learned what it looks like to allow the old things to pass away and welcome in the new life that Jesus has for us. There is so much freedom in realizing, again and again, the joy of our Salvation paid for by the blood of Jesus. Lord, would we be a people that maintain the joy of our Salvation!

Prayer for the Ephesians

July 02, 2023 10:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

This Sunday, Dorothy Abshire walked us through Ephesians 1:15-23. This passage is packed with exhortations for how we should live–by praying for our local church body, asking God for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that we may know Him better, setting our hearts on the hope of Jesus and not our natural world, remembering how He has valued us to exchange the life of His Son for our own lives, and remembering His supernatural power, without which nothing on earth would exist. Thank You,...

Chosen

June 25, 2023 10:00 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MB

Ephesians 1:11-14 can bring up some deep theological questions. This week, pastor Weston Nichols led us through an exploration of this passage's comments on election, security and love. Although every individual's beliefs on election and security need to be worked out through Scripture study and relationship with God, two things are very clear. First, God is able to do what our minds think is impossible or are unable to comprehend. Second, everything God does is driven by unfathomable love f...

What's Your Gospel?

June 18, 2023 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MB

Happy Father's Day! Our Scripture for the day was fitting—Luke 15, the parable of The Prodigal Son. Carl Gulley taught on the causes of guilt and shame. Guilt is caused by the knowledge that we've wronged someone we love; shame is caused by the knowledge that because of that, we're no longer in right relationship with them. But, like the father in the parable, God not only forgives us, but likes us and wants to reconcile with us. And He celebrates us! Lord, thank you for being the best Father!

Cost of Grace

June 11, 2023 10:00 - 38 minutes - 34.8 MB

This week, Young Adult Pastor Jeremy King led us through Ephesians 2:1-10. We heard about the extravagant grace that God has made available to us. Without an understanding of Jesus' immeasurable sacrifice, though, and the immensity of how much it cost, we can't fully appreciate that grace. Lord, show us the extent to which You love us and pursue us, and mold our hearts to serve You well!

Spirit-Empowered Evangelism

May 28, 2023 10:00 - 43 minutes - 40 MB

At times, evangelism may sound daunting or extremely challenging. In reality, though, the pressure is off of us. The Holy Spirit, living within us, is faithful to highlight to us each person who needs His love. When we live fully aware of the goodness, kindness and worthiness of Jesus, and when we live filled with and guided by the Holy Spirit, walking in step with Him becomes much more natural and much less challenging. Father, fill us with Your Holy Spirit and lead us to love the people wh...

Evangelism—A Lifestyle, Not an Event

May 21, 2023 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

Jason Ramos shared with us this week on our calling to live a lifestyle of evangelism, as Jesus did. Rather than waiting for our next mission trip or scheduled outreach, let us be proactive to move outside of our circle of comfort and share Jesus' salvation with people who don't know God's love. God, make us bold, and give us eyes to see those You're calling us to love!

Mother's Day 2023

May 14, 2023 10:00 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MB

Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy the deep wells of wisdom and encouragement shared by our panel of moms, who together have spent more than 142 years parenting their children in the Lord. Thank you, Laura Seibert, Dorothy Abshire, Melissa Wible, Tonja Carpenter and Laura Summersett. Happy Mother’s Day!

Confidence To Share the Gospel

May 07, 2023 10:00 - 45 minutes - 42 MB

This month, we're focusing on sharing the love of Jesus and the story of His salvation with those around us who don't know Him. Two ways practically to do this are through sharing your own personal testimony and through the Bridge Diagram, which Jimmy demonstrated for us today. Lord, make us a people who show others Your love like they've never experienced!

Acts 2 People

April 30, 2023 10:00 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MB

In Acts 2, we see Jesus' followers at Pentecost obeying His last instruction to them: gather together and wait for the Holy Spirit to come to them. When He came, His power and presence was revealed through the disciples speaking in tongues so that every people group who heard them could understand their speech. This is in direct juxtaposition to the story of the Tower of Babel—when men gathered together in unity to rebel against God and were then separated, speaking in foreign tongues and no...

Baptism Bash | 9 a.m.

April 23, 2023 10:00 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MB

In John 5, we see the story of a man who'd been lame for 38 years. He spent his days at the Pool of Bethesda (which means "House of Mercy" or "House of Grace"), waiting for the waters to be supernaturally stirred so that he could be helped into the pool for healing. But when Jesus visited the lame man, He asked if he wanted to be healed. When Jesus told him to pick up his mat and walk, the lame man obeyed, and he was healed. Let us accept Jesus' healing and walk in obedience to His commands!

Baptism Bash | 11 a.m.

April 23, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 73.7 MB

In John 5, we see the story of a man who'd been lame for 38 years. He spent his days at the Pool of Bethesda (which means "House of Mercy" or "House of Grace"), waiting for the waters to be supernaturally stirred so that he could be helped into the pool for healing. But when Jesus visited the lame man, He asked if he wanted to be healed. When Jesus told him to pick up his mat and walk, the lame man obeyed, and he was healed. Let us accept Jesus' healing and walk in obedience to His commands!

Easter 2023

April 09, 2023 10:00 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MB

Because of the trials of this life, we may often feel like Jesus' disciples that He encountered on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24. Confused, grieving and blinded to the truth of Jesus' resurrection, they didn't even recognize Him when they saw Him. But as they spent time with Him and spoke with Him, and as they invited Him to stay with them, their eyes were opened, and they saw the miracle of His resurrection and salvation for them. Lord, open our eyes to see You in our lives!

Palm Sunday | Don't Miss Jesus

April 02, 2023 10:00 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MB

This week, Jimmy Seibert walked us through Palm Sunday in Matthew 20 and 21. Like the blind men in Matthew 20, let us call out to Jesus for His salvation and healing. Like the disciples in Matthew 21, let us obey Jesus fully and immediately. Like Jesus, let us walk in profound humility. And like the crowds in Jerusalem, let us rightly worship Jesus and cry out to God on behalf of ourselves and others, "Hosanna!"—God, save us now!

Unity Through Surrender

March 26, 2023 10:00 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MB

In the 26 verses of John 17, Jesus speaks about "giving" 17 times. The importance of relinquishing what we hold is clear. But because of the goodness of God, in His Kingdom, surrender means giving up something lesser to gain something greater. Everybody has a place of authority or control. God is calling us to release these areas of authority so that He can give us something greater in return. After all, it's because of Jesus' surrender that we are redeemed. Lord, help us to surrender!

Biblical Unity

March 19, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39 MB

This week, Mick Murray taught again on John 17, where we see Jesus' prayer that we, His disciples, would walk in unity. Mick took us through the Scriptural evidence for what biblical unity is and what it is not. In the end, biblical unity is the greatest revelation of God in the earth today, that others might know Him, and conversely, our disunity is the greatest way to obscure the glory of God in our earth today. How do we unify? Repentance. God, we repent for our selfishness and divisivene...

John 17 — Sanctification

March 12, 2023 10:00 - 43 minutes - 40 MB

This week, we looked again at Jesus' prayer for His followers in John 17. When we look at the world as God intended versus the world impacted by our sin, we see a huge disparity between God's perfect creation and our marred reality. It is through Jesus that we are sanctified to become more like God's original design, and it is through the Church that the world sees God's glory and goodness. Lord, we surrender—sanctify us!

Tend Your Garden

March 05, 2023 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MB

Tending our lives in the areas we influence requires selflessness, intentionality and sacrifice but it brings about fruitfulness and beauty to ultimately glorify the Father. The original mandate from God to Adam and Eve is also a mandate to us. In the garden of our lives, we are called to tend to each space intentionally so that the Glory of God may be reflected unto the world through these spaces.

Seek His Face

February 26, 2023 10:00 - 18 minutes - 16.8 MB

God is moving powerfully across our nation, sparking revival at various colleges and universities and making national headlines. But He's at work here among us, too! God is sweeping through our local students at Baylor, calling people to unity, repentance and evangelism. Let's join in! Let's surrender ourselves to God and intercede for this movement to continue, in our country and around the world, as we seek His face!

Father, Make Us One!

February 19, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MB

This week, we welcome our friend and brother Francis Chan to remind us of the necessity for UNITY in today's divorce culture. We are raised as children in homes and in a society where splitting up is more customary than unity, and we see this dramatically at work in the Church. In John 17, we see Jesus pray, "I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us SO THAT the world ...

Beholding His Glory

February 12, 2023 10:00 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MB

This week, we continued to look at Jesus' prayer in John 17, highlighting the glory of God. We see the significance of God's glory all throughout Scripture, from Genesis 1 when humanity was separated from God's glory through our sin, then throughout the Bible in the story of God's plan to reconcile us to His glory through the sacrifice of Jesus. God's glory has to be central in our life; when we are filled with glory, we become partners of His glory, and the world around us is saved!

Jesus Is the Glory of God

February 05, 2023 10:00 - 50 minutes - 45.8 MB

In John 17, we read a prayer from Jesus to the Father asking for unity among God's followers. When God is fully glorified in every person's life, our lives operate wholly as God intended, and God's people are unified. We want to be a people who walk in union with God, communion with the saints and partnership with His mission!

Digital Evangelism

January 29, 2023 10:00 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MB

Years ago, Trip Nine began to be called by God to utilize his expertise in web development and cybersecurity to share the gospel and build the Kingdom of God. Since then, he's begun building systems that can share the good news of Jesus with people in the farthest parts of the earth through digital media, and he's sharing these systems with us so that we can share Jesus' love with our city, nation and nations of the earth. Join us as we continue to live a lifestyle of prayer and incorporate ...

Cry Out to Jesus

January 22, 2023 10:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

Mark 6:45-56 tells the story of Jesus' disciples straining at the oars of their boat in a storm. Scripture says that He saw them from land and decided to go out to them (walking on water). The scariest sentence in the story is this: "He intended to pass by them." But when they raised their heads from their own futile efforts, saw Him and cried out to Him, "immediately He spoke with them and said to them, 'Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.' Then He got into the boat with them, and the ...

Vision Sunday

January 15, 2023 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MB

For 2023, we're sensing that God is calling us to renewed Unity of the Spirit. To be unified with the Spirit of God, and then with each other, it's imperative that we "drop our oars"—relinquishing our efforts and accomplishments that are made through our own strength and good works. Instead, we must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 33:21 says, "But there [in the city of the Lord,] the Lord in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars ca...

Set Apart

January 08, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MB

This week, Mick Murray took us through the ministry of Elijah in 1 Kings 17–19 in a study about listening to God, and then we took some time to do just that—asking God what we need to let go from 2022 and what He has prepared for us in 2023.

New Year's Day

January 01, 2023 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MB

There's no better way to start a new year than by worshiping God and re-surrendering to Him. Join us as we praise Him and consecrate the year 2023 to Him!

Christmas on Demand

December 25, 2022 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MB

This Christmas, we pray that you experience the Good News, Great Joy and Peace on Earth that only Jesus can give. We love you! Merry Christmas!

What Child Is This? | Part 3

December 18, 2022 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

Throughout this series, we've discussed the fact that we're unbelievably loved by God, and we've faced the reality that it can be hard to experience this truth in certain seasons. Luke 1 shows us that Mary may have experienced this very same thing. In a culture that valued young women very little, Mary had to be told multiple times by an angel of God, and again by her cousin, that she was blessed and highly favored before she was able to admit to herself that she was noticed and blessed by G...

What Child Is This? | Part 2

December 11, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MB

Walter Brueggeman, an Old Testament scholar, describes 3 stages common to all humans that we see in the Psalms—Orientation, when all is going well; Disorientation, when things seem to be falling apart; and Reorientation, when God is bringing new life out of what has died. In seasons of Disorientation, it can be hard to experience the presence and love of God. How can we move out of this stage to seasons of new and fresh life? We can make sure we're not walking in sin, we can make sure we're ...

What Child Is This?

December 04, 2022 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

As we read the story of the birth of Jesus in the book of Matthew, we see the author referring to Jesus as "the Child" many times. What we may not understand as 21st century readers is the social status of children in the 1st century—children and slaves were at the bottom of the social ladder. Yet when Herod heard from the wisemen about the child they were going to visit, he was frightened. And later in Jesus' life, He said that we must become like children to enter the kingdom of heaven. We...

Thankful Hearts

November 27, 2022 10:00 - 43 minutes - 39.4 MB

The Bible promises us that we can enter God's gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. It's that easy! Gratitude is our 'all-access-pass' to dwell in God's presence at every moment. Being thankful for those around us shows the kindness of God to the people in our lives, and living a lifestyle of gratitude gives us victory over anxiety in our everyday problems. Thank You, Lord, that we have so much to be grateful for!

Conclusion

November 20, 2022 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MB

We want to be a Psalm 27:4 people committed to a Psalm 24:7 prayer movement unto a Matthew 24:14 outcome—Lord, consume us to love You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength! Let your Kingdom come and Your will be done in every area of our personal lives, families, city, nation and nations of the earth. Fill us with power to proclaim Your Kingdom wherever we go, so that as the world shakes around us, we're not shaken, and we can welcome the world to the feet of Jesus, the family of God a...

Where Two or Three Are Gathered

November 13, 2022 10:00 - 44 minutes - 40.5 MB

Jesus said in Matthew 18:20, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” What does it mean to gather, or even just to live, in Jesus' name? It means to live in His likeness, as He would live, and to love the ones with whom we gather as He loves them. It's significant that this statement comes in the same passage as Jesus' instruction on godly conflict and His command to forgive our offenders seventy-seven times. To pray effectively, so that Jesus is present in our pr...

Warfare Prayer

November 06, 2022 10:00 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MB

When the enemy would try to sideline us through deception, discouragement, doubt or disbelief, God calls us to be a House of Prayer that prays with authority. We can accomplish this through walking in humility, living in intimacy with God through simple obedience, and living a lifestyle of repentance. Lord, make us a people who pray with authority!

The Process of Prayer

October 30, 2022 10:00 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MB

For any prayer needs we might have, we must first begin by remembering the Person of God—who He is and who He's promised to be to us. Then we can center our hearts rightly by I—glorifying Him for being everything to us. Third, we can locate a Scripture that shows the Promise of God in our area of need. As we pray the Scripture(s), we remain open to the Process of God molding our desires to match His own in this area. And finally, we Persevere in seeking His will over time. Lord, make us a pe...

Faith-Filled Prayer

October 23, 2022 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MB

The New Testament is peppered with guidance on how we should pray, both in the words of Jesus in the Gospels and in the Epistles. There are three things that are required for effective prayer: First, that we DO pray. Second, that we have faith. Third, that we believe. Lord, make us a people who always come to You in prayer!

Persevering Prayer

October 16, 2022 10:00 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MB

Sometimes, God calls us to pray for something that requires persevering prayer. This can feel very difficult. The truth, though, is that God uses this persevering, persistent prayer to reward us with what is good and most advantageous. Prayer is not simply transactional; it is a vehicle through which we grow in relationship with God. God values persistent prayer and calls us to walk in it. He equips us to persevere, and through persistent prayer, He bears fruit in us and accomplishes His wil...

The Lordship of Christ

October 09, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MB

"When we try to step into supernatural calling, into these destinies that move our hearts, but we have not established the Lordship issue, quitting is inevitable. Because the minute we encounter a supernatural problem with our natural resources, we render our selves inert. We cannot move forward. You will either be one who serves the Lord Jesus and walks with Him and follows in HIs plans, or you will not. And the things that make us fruitful, the things that move us forward—perseverance , th...

Abiding in The Lord's Prayer

October 02, 2022 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39 MB

The Lord's Prayer provides a comprehensive model for how to abide with Jesus in God's presence throughout each day. Following the prayer line by line, we can begin the day worshiping God, seeking His will and trusting Him to be our Provider in every situation. We can walk into the day already confident that we are forgiven and that we have plenty of forgiveness to extend to others. We can know that our day is covered—that when distractions and temptations arise, God will lead us away from th...

Lord, Teach Us To Pray!

September 25, 2022 10:00 - 51 minutes - 47 MB

1 John 5:14 & 15 say, "This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him." How do we know what His will is? The key is the Word of God. We know that everything God says in Scripture is true, so we can pray the Bible over every situation with complete confidence.

Psalm 27:4 People

September 18, 2022 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MB

When Jesus' apostles asked him how they should pray, He taught them The Lord's Prayer. This week, we looked at just the first line: "Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name." It is because of the work of Jesus on the cross and the sacrifice of His blood that we can access Father God. Not only can we draw near to God, but He knows us intimately and crafted each of us with great intentionality. Because of this salvation and grace, we can, like David, say, "One thing I have asked fro...

Establishing a House of Prayer

September 11, 2022 10:00 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MB

Throughout the Old Testament, we see Israel following countless rituals and laws to make a welcome space for the presence of God. When Jesus died on our behalf, the veil standing between us and God was literally torn, and now God Himself inhabits each of His followers. We have access to Him all the time, and we are commanded to talk with Him and pray to Him unceasingly. Lord, let us be a people who pray at all times!

5 Circles of Church

September 04, 2022 10:00 - 56 minutes - 52.1 MB

At Antioch, we want our relationship with Jesus to affect and infect every area of our lives, which is why we seek to embrace each of these circles continually. We want to have a deep devotional life in Jesus, seek to be and to make disciples, stay connected in community, serve and participate in our corporate gatherings and live on mission where God has planted each of us. As opposed to focusing on one circle, we hope to grow in our holistic approach to walking with Jesus by committing to e...

Apprentices of Jesus

August 28, 2022 10:00 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MB

We want to be a people with a passion for Jesus and His purposes in the earth, and we want to be a people that makes disciples who ENCOUNTER God, DISCIPLE others and live on MISSION. If we study the meaning of discipleship in Jesus' time, we see that a disciple was someone who dedicated years to learning the ways of his master by being with the Rabbi, learning the Rabbi's teachings and doing what the Rabbi did, then going and making more disciples. Likewise, we want to be disciples—apprentic...

Passion & Purpose

August 21, 2022 10:00 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MB

Antioch is committed to being a people with "A Passion for Jesus and His Purposes in the Earth." The truth is that we are empowered to love God and be passionate for His purposes because He first loved us. This is how we know His love is true: He sees us, yet still pursues us; He forgives us FULLY; and He will never leave or forsake us. Thank you, Lord, for Your miraculous love—may we live our lives lit up by a passion for You and Your purposes!

Jehovah Jireh

August 07, 2022 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MB

Jehovah Jireh, translated literally, means "The Lord will see." The meaning of this in today's English is "the Lord will see to it," or "the Lord will provide." We first see this phrase in Genesis 22, when God miraculously provided a sacrifice for Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah. A thousand years later, God had mercy on the people of Israel when David offered a sacrifice in the same location. After another millennium, Jesus was crucified only a few hundred feet from the same place, and on ...

Jehovah Rohe

July 31, 2022 10:00 - 49 minutes - 45.1 MB

Throughout Scripture, we see God compare Himself to a shepherd about 100 times and refer to His followers as sheep about 400 times. Sheep are notoriously defenseless, stubborn and foolish. Shepherds, however, are loyal and sacrificial and are known for using two tools: a rod to prompt sheep toward food and safety, and a staff to pull sheep back from harm when they don't respond to the rod. We are accustomed to spending time with other sheep, who disappoint, abandon and hurt us. But Jesus is ...

I AM

July 24, 2022 10:00 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MB

In Exodus 3, we read the story of Moses and the burning bush. God called Moses to be Israel’s deliverer, but Moses was hesitant because of insecurity. When we’re tempted to give up because we’re insecure about our past, let us remember that God is the God of the past, present and future. He is I AM, and He redeems the past, is present today and covers our future, because He’s already there.
