The Mess

September 08, 2019 15:00 - 52.6 MB

We love hero stories - in part because they are echoes of our own story. The problem is, we see ourselves as the heroes, instead of those needing rescue. We kick off a series entitled “The Rescue.”

God gives us the means to be generous, and the honor of being used by him. Generosity not only helps those we give to, but stretches our faith and helps us live outside ourselves. We climax the series with an offering that will be donated to RIP Medical Debt.

My Future

August 25, 2019 15:00 - 49.6 MB

Normal is spend, repay debt, pay taxes, save if there’s any left and give if there’s anything left after that. Jesus followers flip that around: give, save, live on the rest. We will especially focus on the spiritual principals behind “saving.”

My Past

August 18, 2019 15:00 - 52.1 MB

Decisions we made in the past limit our options in the present – with respect to our money, too. Too often, our choices led to the prison of debt. What can we do to start digging our way out?

Contentment

August 11, 2019 15:00 - 47.7 MB

Money isn’t fun to talk about. It seems like we’ve always got problems and more money could solve them. Today we’re talking about the number one secret to managing your money well.

Don't Judge

August 04, 2019 15:00 - 46.4 MB

We think “Judge Not” means "Never make any kind of judgments at all, ever!” We’ll take a closer look at what Jesus really meant.

It Doesn't Matter

July 28, 2019 13:30 - 41.5 MB

Today’s culture doesn’t like the concept of “absolute truth.” That’s where we get the saying “It doesn’t matter what I believe.” It’s tempting to accept that - some people have their truth and we have ours. But that’s not the way Jesus explained things.

More Than You Can Handle

July 21, 2019 15:00 - 50 MB

We hear, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” But God never promises that. What he does promise is to be with us and that his grace is sufficient.

God Wants Me to be Happy

July 14, 2019 20:00 - 53 MB

We kick off a series on cultural myths which Christians buy into. We morph “I have a right to be happy,” into “God wants me to be happy.” Although there is truth in that, there are things God wants way more.

Lust

July 07, 2019 20:00 - 48.4 MB

We wrap up the series on “Necessary Sins” by talking about lust - every good man’s battle. It’s a war with extremely high stakes, a war we often choose not to fight and a war we cannot win without God’s help.

Gossip

June 30, 2019 20:00 - 50.6 MB

Words do hurt; use them wisely when speaking of another person; we can leave long lasting scars with our words; we can actually murder the reputation of another. Gossip is unacceptable behavior within God’s culture.

Anger

June 23, 2019 20:00 - 47.2 MB

Although we can be angry and not sin, we tend to sin in our anger. In this sermon, we examine the root causes of anger and God’s antidote.

Lying

June 16, 2019 20:00 - 47.6 MB

There may be some kinds of “lies” which are innocent (as in humor), but too often we justify our lying. Lying is a failure to trust God, it corrupts our character, and it corrupts our relationships with people and with God.

Forsaking All Others

June 09, 2019 22:00 - 49.9 MB

We wrap up our “Love Handles” series with a focus on “Forsaking all others, till death do us part.” Although some question whether that is possible or a worthy goal, it does reflect GOd’s will and is part of his growing us into the “godlike” creatures he meant us to be. It’s a choice we make, to live outside ourselves.

To Love and Cherish (Podcast)

June 02, 2019 20:00 - 54.3 MB

We promise to love and to “cherish.” What’s the difference? And how do we do it?

For Better or Worse (Podcast)

May 26, 2019 20:00 - 48.4 MB

As in our life with God, a healthy, God-honoring marriage requires “perseverance.” The “happily ever after” is on the other side of the better and worse, richer and poorer, sickness and health.

To Have and To Hold (Podcast)

May 19, 2019 17:00 - 51.6 MB

What Do You Want? (Podcast)

May 05, 2019 22:00 - 46.6 MB

If God gave you whatever you wanted - what you ask for? What wish would you have God grant you? You might be selfless with your response - but would it really be the best thing?

Engagement (Podcast)

April 28, 2019 23:00 - 42.9 MB

What if we recognized that God is in the room? What if we recognized that worship is a dialogue, not a monologue? What if people came expecting “church”, and “worship” broke out!

God's Verdict (Podcast)

April 22, 2019 00:00 - 47.5 MB

We wrap up our Making a Messiah series with God’s verdict on Jesus. The earliest Jesus followers were just as skeptical as anyone today after Jesus’ crucifixion, and none of them expected a resurrection. It was the resurrection that turned them around and launched the church.

Baptism Sunday (Podcast)

April 15, 2019 00:30 - 48.3 MB

Baptism is a picture of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus When we identify with Jesus in baptism, we come to grips with who we are, who He is and what stands in our way.

Their Verdict (Podcast)

April 07, 2019 19:00 - 46.2 MB

We walk through the trials of Jesus and see him rejected six times over the course of just a few hours. Their reasons for rejecting him are templates for some of our own. And in the end, our verdict on Jesus will determine God’s verdict on us.

Our Verdict (Podcast)

March 31, 2019 21:00 - 44.2 MB

Jesus didn’t come to add to the Old Covenant, he came to replace it. And the was to do life with God, for God, God’s way under this new covenant is encompassed by this one new “law”: Love one another, as I have loved you.

Cleansing the Temple (Podcast)

March 24, 2019 22:00 - 55.7 MB

The temple was the center of Judaism, the path to doing life with God, for God, God’s way. When Jesus entered the temple and disrupted the buying and selling of Passover lambs, he was throwing down a gauntlet: “You can crown me or kill me - but you can’t ignore me.”

Triumphal Entry (Podcast)

March 17, 2019 22:00 - 42.6 MB

Until now, Jesus has been quelling public speculation that he was the Messiah. Now he goes public, in a remarkable fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecies. Now he forces our hand: crown me or kill me.

Transfiguration (Podcast)

March 10, 2019 23:00 - 48.3 MB

After blowing their minds by telling the disciples that as Messiah he had to suffer and die, and that following him might make their lives much harder, he confirms that he really is their Messiah by giving them a peek at who he really is. And God the Father shows us, and tells us to listen, and follow him. We probe the historical evidences that it really happened.

Who Do You Say I Am (Podcast)

March 03, 2019 21:30 - 41.1 MB

Jesus asks the biggest question anyone will have to answer - who do you think he is? And then he redefines what it means to be the Messiah of God, and what it means to follow him.

Greater Than (Podcast)

February 24, 2019 22:00 - 44.6 MB

40 years before it happened, Jesus predicts with great detail the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple. If he could speak with authority about the future, he deserves to be followed.

Kingdom Parables (Podcast)

February 17, 2019 22:30 - 49.4 MB

They thought he might be the Messiah, but they thought he was doing it wrong. Jesus tells these parables to teach them: God’s Kingdom is not what you think it is; but it’s going to win; and you need to do whatever it takes to be part of it.

Take Up Your Cross (Podcast)

February 10, 2019 22:00 - 49.8 MB

Jesus was no used car salesman. He challenged us to stay faithful no matter how hard Jesus following will inevitably get. His claims to our allegiance were unbounded.

But I Say (Podcast)

February 03, 2019 23:00 - 43.6 MB

Jesus claimed absolute authority over everything in heaven and on Earth. In his teaching, he claimed to supersede Moses, to have the right to countermand the law. If he was wrong, he would be a raving lunatic or a maniacal liar. If he was right…what do you say he is?

Power Over Death (Podcast)

January 27, 2019 22:00 - 44 MB

Jesus had incredible power, which he used with maddening restraint. But he didn’t come to fix all of our problems…but he did give us a glimpse of what is coming.

Power Over Demons (Podcast)

January 20, 2019 22:00 - 45.8 MB

Satan and his demons are incredibly powerful; Jesus infinitely more so. It’s not just demon “possession,” sometimes it’s “under the influence.” All of us allow him to slip in, and unless stopped, he will enslave us. And there is only one powerful enough to stop him.

Power Over Nature (Podcast)

January 13, 2019 21:30 - 51.1 MB

Power Over Sickness (Podcast)

January 06, 2019 20:00 - 49.1 MB

Making a Messiah (Podcast)

December 30, 2018 23:00 - 50.1 MB

So much information exists to prove that Jesus of Nazareth was a real person. But was he truly the Messiah, son of God? We’re going to look at the stories written about Jesus and some of the people who lived right alongside him and see if we can figure it out.

Warrior King (Podcast)

December 23, 2018 20:00 - 37.9 MB

The classic Christmas story we’ve all heard is pleasant; God born as a baby on a silent night in the little town of Bethlehem. But that’s not all there is to the story. The true Christmas story has more to it than just what we can see.

Forever (Podcast)

December 16, 2018 19:00 - 42.9 MB

The Book of John is unique in its telling of the birth story of Jesus. While Matthew and Luke wrote about Jesus’ birth on earth - John stepped back and described how Jesus, the one who is forever, stepped from infinite space into our little world. The very one who created the universe being born as a vulnerable baby.

Like No Other (Podcast)

November 18, 2018 19:20 - 40.9 MB

Following Jesus should affect every aspect of our lives. Over our lifetimes, one of the biggest parts of our lives is work. We may be employees or bosses, students or teachers and we’ll likely be both at different times. So what does that relationship look like if we live like Jesus?

Parenting Kingdom Style (Podcast)

November 11, 2018 22:20 - 47.8 MB

Marriage Kingdom Style (Podcast)

November 04, 2018 21:00 - 46.4 MB

Relationships Kingdom Style (Podcast)

October 28, 2018 18:45 - 47.1 MB

Remember Who You Are (Podcast)

October 21, 2018 20:00 - 45.7 MB

A Seat at the Table (Podcast)

October 14, 2018 20:00 - 42.6 MB

Jesus the Warrior King (Podcast)

October 07, 2018 20:00 - 47.9 MB

It’s not enough to just accept Jesus as Lord - we must stay faithful. We’re all prone to wander, and there are spiritual forces behind the scenes pulling us away from God. We want to keep Christ at the center.

Hope of Glory (Podcast)

September 30, 2018 19:00 - 45.7 MB

The Gospel, the good news of Jesus, is such a mystery! Jesus, somehow God and Man, was willing to die for us, and then to live “in” us - he’s our “hope of Glory.” The only thing crazier than this story would be the refusal to embrace him if it really is true.
