Cut for Time: Overcome the World
May 24, 2023 19:00 - 20 minutes - 28.4 MBPastor Jeff shares practical application for "Overcoming the World" in our daily lives.
Overcome the World
May 22, 2023 15:00 - 35 minutes - 48.8 MBThe Bible pictures us living in a sinful world that tempts us and battles against the Father's work and will and life. John encourages us that as God's children we really can have victory in that fight. Join us this Sunday as we look at what it means to "Overcome the World" from 1 John 2:12-17 & 5:4-5.
Cut for Time: Maintain Your Confession
May 17, 2023 18:00 - 25 minutes - 34.7 MBPastor Joey interviews Pastor Nathan and they dig through the passage 1 John 2:18-25 on the topic of Maintaining Your Confession.
Maintain Your Confession
May 16, 2023 14:00 - 34 minutes - 48 MB"Hold on!" John says to encourage the churches in their faith in Jesus in the midst of an uncertain world. "But how?" Let the truth that Jesus is the true Messiah abide in you. And remember the promise of life with our Father. The joy of eternal life outweighs any uncertainties we face in this life. This sermon "Maintain Your Confession" is from 1 John 2:18-25.
Cut for Time: Walk in the Light
May 10, 2023 21:00 - 25 minutes - 34.9 MBPastor Joey let's us know what he had to cut from his sermon and answers two questions submitted from listeners.
Walk in the Light | 1 John 1:5-10
May 08, 2023 20:00 - 29 minutes - 40.1 MBLight and darkness, sin and righteousness, truth and lies--John uses all of these great contrasts to exhort us to "Walk in the Light". His argument is clear: God is light, so his followers should reflect that light. if instead we reflect darkness, are we truly his followers? In this sermon we'll tackle this question and more as we explore 1st John 1:5-10!
Cut for Time: Live in God's Love
May 03, 2023 19:00 - 28 minutes - 38.8 MBPastor Joey shares a few great resources and books to read around the idea of small practices of sacrificial love.
Live in God's Love | 1 John 4:7-11
May 02, 2023 01:00 - 41 minutes - 37.6 MB"Love"--it's a great word, a wonderful idea, a heavy burden, and a huge responsibility. If God has loved us, John writes, then we ought to love each other. But how exactly has God loved us? And how do we love others like how God loved us? We'll explore all that and more in "Live in God's Love" from 1 John 4:7-11!
Cut for Time: Share in God's Life
April 26, 2023 21:00 - 19 minutes - 26.8 MBPastor Jeff reflects on the message he preached on Sunday and how it relates to what he's walking through with the passing of his brother, Brad.
Share in God's Life | 1 John 1:1-4
April 24, 2023 14:00 - 34 minutes - 46.9 MBMore than any other letter, 1 John talks about believers as “children of God,” often with affection and care. If we’ve come to know and share in Jesus’ resurrection life, what difference does it make in us? How do we live as children of God? In this sermon we explore what it means to “Share in God’s Life” from 1 John 1:1-4.
When Your Mission Field is Right at Home: Mark 5:1-20
April 21, 2023 14:00 - 50 minutes - 69.1 MBGuest teacher, Bruce Dick, preaches from Mark 5:1-20.
Jesus Alive! (Matthew 28:1-20)
April 10, 2023 19:00 - 19 minutes - 27.2 MBHe is risen! This weekend we celebrate that the Way of the Cross does not end at the Cross, but continues through the grave and into new life! But Jesus's new life doesn't erase the suffering of the cross; to walk the Way of the Cross is to walk both in the suffering of Jesus and in his resurrection victory. Join us for "Jesus Alive!" from Matthew 28:1-20 as we rejoice in his victorious resurrection!
Cut for Time: Jesus Mocked
April 06, 2023 01:00 - 31 minutes - 43.3 MBWe have a new host this week for Cut for Time, Dan Breitwieser, interviews Pastor Nathan following his sermon on Sunday!
Jesus Mocked (Matt 27:38-44)
April 04, 2023 01:00 - 36 minutes - 49.9 MBAs Jesus is crucified, he is mocked and reviled by those around him. In his most vulnerable moments before death he is ridiculed by the crowd and even the robbers on the crosses next to him. A week before, crowds were shouting Hosanna, and now all Jesus hears is the taunts of the crowd. Join us this Sunday as we study Matthew 27: 38-44 and remind ourselves at the start of Holy Week that Jesus chose the Way of the Cross which includes mocking and humiliation.
Cut for Time: Jesus Crucified
March 29, 2023 21:00 - 25 minutes - 35.6 MBPastor Joey fields questions we had submitted and gives us some info on Simon of Cyrene.
Jesus Crucified (Matt 27:27-37)
March 28, 2023 01:00 - 35 minutes - 49 MBThe way of the cross leads inexorably to the cross, and this week we watch as Jesus is mockingly declared the “King of the Jews!” and forced to carry his own cross to the hill of execution. And yet every step along the way resounds with echoes of the Old Testament. Could the one mocked as king be in fact the real king of the Jews? But who would want to serve a crucified king? Join for “Jesus Crucified” from Matthew 27:27-37 as the way of the cross leads us to Calvary.
Cut for Time: Jesus Judged
March 22, 2023 21:00 - 31 minutes - 44 MBPastor Joey answers a bunch of questions from the text Matthew 27:1-2, 11-26! What was Barabbas' actual name? Did Pilot give up his power or establish his power by handing Jesus over? What about verse 19?
Jesus Judged (Matt. 27:1-2, 11-26)
March 21, 2023 02:00 - 33 minutes - 46.3 MBCaught between a riot and the religious rulers, Pilate has been outmaneuvered. Jesus must be condemned, if only to save his own job. Even if substituting an innocent Jesus for a guilty Barabbas offends his sense of justice, something strangely divine is taking place. Join us for “Jesus Judged” from Matthew 27:1-2, 11-26, as we walk the way of the cross with Jesus.
Cut for Time: Jesus Denied
March 15, 2023 17:00 - 22 minutes - 36 MBPastor Jeff answers a few questions about Peter's denial. Why was it essential for Peter to be told what would happen when it seems it was inevitable and he couldn't do anything about it? Why did Matthew (and all Gospel authors) include this event in his narrative?
Jesus Denied (Matt 26:69-75)
March 12, 2023 19:00 - 36 minutes - 50.5 MBLast week, we saw Jesus’ courage under trial by the highest authorities. In contrast, Peter fears when he’s confronted by a servant girl. What do we learn from Peter’s failure and Jesus’ faithfulness that helps us in our trials? Join us as we look at “Jesus Denied” from Matthew 26:69-75.
Cut for Time: Jesus Condemned
March 08, 2023 15:00 - 18 minutes - 25.2 MBPastor Jeff chats about application for his sermon - what does it look like and what doesn't it look like?
Jesus Condemned (Matt 26:57-68)
March 05, 2023 20:00 - 37 minutes - 50.9 MBIn this season of Lent, we're journeying through the last twenty-four hours of Jesus's life as he walked the way of the cross. After his betrayal, Jesus is arrested and put on trial where he’s falsely accused and horribly mistreated. Why does he endure these things? And what hope or encouragement is there for us in Jesus’ response to injustice? Join us for "Jesus Condemned" from Matthew 26:57-68.
Cut For Time: Matthew 26:47-56
March 01, 2023 21:00 - 29 minutes - 41.3 MBPastor Joey answers a few questions around the application of his sermon from Sunday.
Jesus Betrayed (Matt 26:47-56)
February 26, 2023 19:00 - 41 minutes - 57 MBIn this season of Lent, we're going to walk through the last twenty-four hours of Jesus's life as he walked the way of the cross. It begins with a betrayal, when everything seems to spin out of control. And yet, if Jesus were not betrayed, how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled? Join us for "Jesus Betrayed" from Matthew 26:47-56 as we walk the way of the cross with Jesus.
Cut for Time: Matthew 13:44-58
February 22, 2023 05:00 - 28 minutes - 43.7 MBPastor Jeff answers a question that was submitted and sets the intention for the Lenten season.
The Treasure (Matt 13:44-58)
February 19, 2023 19:00 - 38 minutes - 52.7 MBJesus finishes this section of teaching saying that God’s kingdom is of ultimate value. Knowing Jesus is the reality that shapes your life, makes you a blessing to others, and determines your eternal outcome. Miss Jesus and you’ve missed everything; find him and you have everything. Join us as we look at “The Treasure” from Matthew 13:44-58.
Cut For Time: Matthew 13:1-9
February 15, 2023 21:00 - 21 minutes - 30.6 MBIn a special episode of Cut for Time, we get to hear from Pastor Tom who preached on Sunday. The last time he preached was 18 months ago and the last time he preached this sermon back in 2012, he stretched the passage over 2 Sundays - that means there was a lot that was cut for time!
Spreading the Word (Matt. 13:1-23)
February 14, 2023 15:00 - 41 minutes - 48.7 MBAnd he told them many things in parables, saying: ‘A sower went out to sow.’ The first parable of Jesus actually called a parable is also one of the most familiar; and one of only a few that Jesus explains, and that only to his disciples, not the multitudes. Why? It’s often called The Parable of the Soils, yet Jesus calls it the parable of the sower. Hmm?? Join us for Spreading the Word as we take a fresh look at this farming illustration in Matthew 13:1-23.
Cut For Time: Matthew 12:22-32
February 08, 2023 15:00 - 29 minutes - 41.4 MBJoey chats about evil, the Accuser, and unpacks a loaded verse: Matthew 12:22!
The Accusation (Matt. 12:22-32)
February 06, 2023 15:45 - 45 minutes - 38.9 MBAt the end of their rope, unable to stop Jesus from upsetting their authority with his claims to be God himself, the Pharisees resort to the worst of all accusations against Jesus: his work has nothing to do with the Spirit of God, and everything to do with the spirit of the Accuser, the Satan. Even on the face of it, it’s a ridiculous accusation. Why would the Accuser impede his own subjects in their work? But the accusation, far from landing on Jesus, instead reveals the heart of the Pharis...
Cut For Time: Matthew 12:1-14
February 01, 2023 23:00 - 28 minutes - 40.1 MBPastor Joey gives more historical context to his sermon on Sunday.
Something Greater (Matt. 12:1-14)
January 31, 2023 15:00 - 48 minutes - 37.6 MBWhy would the religious leaders of Jesus’s day conspire to kill him over something as insignificant as a healing on the Sabbath, or over some minor foraging? Are they that committed to keeping the Sabbath? Or is something more going on here, something that strikes deeper at the claims Jesus is making, that he is The One who is more than they can possibly realize? Join us for “Something Greater” from Matthew 12:1-14 as dig into these radical claims that are bound to get Jesus killed.
Cut For Time: Matthew 11:25-30
January 26, 2023 22:00 - 23 minutes - 33.3 MBPastor Joey shares more from his study and sermon prep that he couldn't share during the sermon. He says that these five verses could have been three sermons and he had the challenge of distilling it down to one.
Jesus is the Good Master (Matt. 11:25-30)
January 23, 2023 20:00 - 40 minutes - 33.5 MBWe feel it, even if we don't want to admit it: we're all "burdened" by something. Whether it's concern for our futures, our children, our jobs, our performances, our grades, or our health, there's something weighing each of us down. Jesus invites us to come to him with our burdens and trade them for light burden and easy yoke of resting in him. Learn how in "Jesus is the Good Master" from Matthew 11:25-30!
Cut for Time: Who Is Jesus?
January 18, 2023 11:00 - 15 minutes - 22.1 MBPastor Jeff explains more into his study of Matthew 11:12, a verse that he didn't get to do a deep dive on in the sermon.
Who Is Jesus (Matt. 11:1-19)
January 17, 2023 17:00 - 40 minutes - 73.8 MBWhen life doesn't turn out the way we'd hoped, it can raise questions: Jesus, why are you doing this? Why aren't things going better? Jesus encourages us to wrestle honestly with our expectations and push through to see him for who he really is – because he will not ultimately disappoint. Join us as we explore "Who Is Jesus? from Matthew 11:1-19.
Cut For Time: Why Are We Here?
January 11, 2023 21:00 - 17 minutes - 24.4 MBPastor Joey summarizes his preaching on Colossians 1:3-14, a one-off sermon before we start our next series. He answers a question submitted by a listener and gives us a look into how he and Jeff make decisions for the benefit of the the whole church body.
Why Are We Here (Col. 1:3-14)
January 09, 2023 19:00 - 41 minutes - 48.8 MBHave you ever stopped to wonder why churches exist? What a church is here to accomplish? What God might want to do through any church, especially Faith Church? We'll focus in on our Core Four: Worship, Serve, Grow, and Go. That's what God calls us to, and what the Apostle Paul prayed for the churches he planted. Join us for "Why Are We Here?" from Colossians 1:3-14!
Cut for Time: The Feast at the End of the World
January 05, 2023 03:00 - 17 minutes - 24.3 MBPastor Joey talks more about his favorite topic: food, feasts, and communion. He gives more practical application to making feasts a part of your spiritual rhythms.
The Feast at the End of the World (Matt. 26:26-29)
January 03, 2023 22:00 - 32 minutes - 39.8 MBThe end of each year marks the beginning of a new one. Is it any wonder we celebrate, we throw a party, we host a feast? Jesus does the same, telling his disciples that at the end of the world, a feast will mark the beginning of new, eternal life. Join us for “The Feast at the End of the World” from Matthew 26:26-29!
Cut for Time: Grace and Truth
December 21, 2022 21:00 - 11 minutes - 16.3 MBPastor Jeff wraps up our Advent series and frames the holiday for us in this episode of Cut for Time.
Grace and Truth (John 1:14-18)
December 19, 2022 19:00 - 32 minutes - 36.2 MBJohn says that from Jesus’ fullness we have all received grace upon grace. It’s an image of Jesus’ incarnation like an overflowing cup that’s the source of all blessings which becomes the center of your life. Join us for “Grace and Truth” from John 1:14-18.
Cut For Time: The Word Becomes Flesh
December 15, 2022 03:00 - 14 minutes - 19.8 MBWe talk about what it's like to preach from a single verse, something we rarely do at Faith and Pastor Jeff has a good challenge for us this season.
The Word Became Flesh (John 1:14)
December 12, 2022 16:00 - 32 minutes - 37.6 MBJohn has introduced us to the Word, the God who is source of all light and life and who made all things. Now this Word becomes a human. What would that look like? Why would God do that? And what difference does that make in our lives? Join us as we look at “The Word Became Flesh” from John 1:14.
Cut for Time: The Light
December 07, 2022 21:00 - 15 minutes - 21.6 MBPastor Jeff chats about the juggling act that was last Sunday and what he's considered since preaching now that he's had more time to sit with the passage!
The Light (John 1:6-13)
December 05, 2022 14:00 - 29 minutes - 34.1 MBThe opening verses of the Gospel of John introduce us to Jesus without mentioning his name until verse 17. He is the eternal Word who was there "in the beginning." He is the "true Light" shining in the dark world. He was unrecognized and unwelcomed by those for whom He came. Yet, for those who welcome Him, He offers new birth and the privilege of becoming "children of God." Join us as we have the witness of John the Baptist and are introduced to the heart of why Jesus came to this world, to...
Cut For Time: The Word
November 30, 2022 21:00 - 17 minutes - 24.7 MBPastor Joey summarizes the first sermon of our Advent series and answers some really great questions submitted from listeners!
The Word (John 1:1-5)
November 28, 2022 21:00 - 33 minutes - 39.4 MBIn the beginning,” John says, “was the Word.” What a way to introduce the story of Jesus—by deliberately echoing the beginning of all creation. In these four weeks of Advent we’ll explore four images from John 1: the Word, the Light, the Flesh, and the Glory. Join us for “The Word” from John 1:1-5!
Cut For Time: The God Who Breaks All the Rules
November 23, 2022 22:00 - 16 minutes - 22.7 MBPastor Jeff summarizes what we've studied in this sermon series and answers a question about the evils and darkness at play in the world and the power that they have/don't have.
