Episodes
No Going Back (Gal. 4:8-11)
January 03, 2022 16:00 - 31 minutes - 36 MBPaul reminds his readers that they are all children of God through faith in the work of Christ. But instead of growing in the liberty with which Christ has set them free, they have slipped back into old bondage. Join us for “No Going Back” from Galatians 4:8-11 as we see how remembering God's work in our past directs our lives in the present.
From Slaves to Sons (Gal. 4:1-7)
January 01, 2022 19:00 - 36 minutes - 44.9 MBIn a beautifully packed, Trinitarian paragraph, the Apostle Paul wants his readers to internalize their adoption as sons in the family of God. It’s our “sonship” — our status as first-born inheritors of the promise — that serves as the foundation for intimacy and communion with God. Join us for “From Slaves to Sons” from Galatians 4:1-7 as we examine how Paul’s ancient vision gives fresh life to us today!
Cut for Time: Galatians 4:1-7
December 29, 2021 14:30 - 13 minutes - 12.8 MBPastor Joey preached on Sunday and rebooted our series in Galatians following the break we took for Advent. We begin again in chapter 4, verse 1.
2021 Christmas Eve Sermon
December 26, 2021 13:00 - 15 minutes - 15.9 MBComing home for Christmas Recap
Finally Home (Revelation 21:1-7, 22-27)
December 20, 2021 15:00 - 36 minutes - 45.3 MBOne day heaven and earth will be reunited. We will live in unity and peace with God, with others, and with creation, and we will know the fulfillment of our longings for love, goodness, and purpose. Join us as we see in Revelation 21 what it be like when we are Finally Home and how we live here and now in light of that future.
Homeward Bound (Hebrews 13:11-15)
December 13, 2021 15:00 - 30 minutes - 37.7 MBIn the great story of the Bible, we begin coming “home” when we come to Jesus. But even those of us who have walked with Jesus for decades still feel a sense of restlessness, of homelessness. Why? Because no home here will last forever—we seek a home that is to come. So what do we do in the meantime? Join us for “Homeward Bound” from Hebrews 13:11-15!
Home-Making (Gen. 11:1-9)
December 06, 2021 15:00 - 39 minutes - 48.4 MBHaving lost their original home, humanity turned to making a home for themselves, a home where they could try to reclaim what they’d lost in the curse. Their attempt to build a tower to commune with God—on their terms, not his—failed, with disastrous results. Join us for “Home-Making” from Genesis 11:1-9, as we see how our longing for a home often leads us in fruitless directions.
Our First Home (Gen. 1:1-5, 26-31)
November 29, 2021 15:00 - 35 minutes - 42 MBAdvent begins. In this season, we’ll prepare for Christmas by looking at Jesus’ birth in the larger story of the whole Bible. Many of us feel a sense of weariness, disconnection, and emptiness. We long for home – for the safety, identity, and love that God made us to know and share. Join us as we look at Genesis 1:1-5, 26-31 and “Our First Home.”
Cut For Time: Galatians 3:23-29
November 24, 2021 16:00 - 16 minutes - 15.1 MBPastor Joey does a Geeky Greek segment and gives us an Advent preview.
Before-And-After (Gal. 3:23-29)
November 22, 2021 14:00 - 37 minutes - 45.9 MBPaul wraps up his long explanation of how Abraham gets his one world-wide family by telling an astounding and astoundingly dense before-and-after story. We were locked up and under guard—until Jesus came!—but now we are sons and daughters of God. Join us for a deep dive into “Before-And-After” from Galatians 3:23-29!
Cut for Time: Galatians 3:15-22
November 17, 2021 19:00 - 14 minutes - 13.7 MBPastor Joey shares what he prepared to preach on verses 19 & 20 (which he ultimately cut for time) and why he felt it was not worth keeping in Sunday's sermon.
Why Then The Law? (Gal. 3:15-22)
November 15, 2021 16:00 - 38 minutes - 31.3 MBIf the law could never deliver on the life it promised, why did God give the law to Moses in the first place? What was the point, if God had already promised a world-wide inheritance to Abraham’s family? And what does all this have to do with brand-new Galatian believers in Jesus? Find out when we explore “Why Then the Law?” From Galatians 3:15-22!
Feast of St. Willibrord
November 10, 2021 16:00 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MBIf you couldn't make it to Sunday's feast celebration, you may have missed out on good food, but we've curated the storytelling for you in podcast form!
Cut for Time: Galatians 3:10-14
November 10, 2021 14:00 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBPastor Jeff shares more on the language Paul used regarding "curses" and his prayer for our congregation within this passage.
Redeemed From the Curse (Gal. 3:10-14)
November 08, 2021 15:00 - 34 minutes - 35.8 MBIf we think that what defines us as God’s people is doing the things that he commands and avoiding the bad things that pagans do, we’re in real trouble – we are “under a curse.” Law-keeping righteousness condemns us. Join us as we see the good news of how we’re “Redeemed from the Curse” by faith in Christ in Galatians 3:10-14.
Cut for Time: Galatians 3:1-9
November 03, 2021 02:15 - 17 minutes - 16.1 MBPastor Joey shares more from his sermon prep that he wasn't able to on Sunday and asks us to consider some tough questions about the divisions in the church.
The Family of Faith (Gal. 3:1-9)
November 01, 2021 15:00 - 38 minutes - 34 MBIn the social and cultural world of the Galatians, the question, “who is included in the family of the God of Israel?” profoundly impacted Jewish and Gentile Christians alike. Jewish Christians wanted, and Gentile Christians needed to know “who are the true children of Abraham?” Paul’s answer? “Those who have faith.” Join us as we explore “The Family of Faith” from Galatians 3:1-9!
Cut for Time: Galatians 1:15-21
October 27, 2021 01:00 - 20 minutes - 18.4 MBPastor Jeff gives us some insight to verses 1:17-1:19 that he felt he didn't have enough time to teach from on Sunday.
Crucified With Christ (Gal. 2:15-21)
October 25, 2021 14:00 - 37 minutes - 30 MBIn Christ, we give up every old way of being identified as God’s people – moralistic law-keeping, national identity, ethnic boundaries. By God’s free grace we experience new life, identity, and community. And all that is received and lived out through faith in the faithfulness of Jesus. Join us as we look at “Crucified with Christ” from Galatians 2:15-21.
Cut for Time: Galatians 1:11-2:14
October 20, 2021 18:00 - 16 minutes - 14.9 MBJoey tells us more of the story... and reflects on his own sermon preparation and application from Sunday.
Let Me Tell You A Story (Gal. 1:11-2:14)
October 18, 2021 15:00 - 50 minutes - 42.9 MBThe Apostle Paul almost never gives us autobiographical details, so it’s significant that he includes such an extended narrative of his early ministry days. Why does he include it? What’s he trying to prove? And how does that help us understand his arguments in Galatians? Join us for “Let Me Tell You A Story…” from Galatians 1:11-2:14!
Cut for Time: Galatians 1:6-10
October 13, 2021 17:00 - 13 minutes - 12.8 MBPastor Joey gives us a challenge for the duration of our time in this series studying the book of Galatians and re-caps his sermon from Sunday, "If you can't please everyone..."
If You Can't Please Everyone (Gal. 1:6-10)
October 11, 2021 15:00 - 42 minutes - 35.1 MBYou’re just a people-pleaser, Paul! That’s why you’re making it easy for these Gentiles to follow Jesus without adhering to the Judaism of which Jesus is a part!” It’s an accusation that stings, because it’s one Paul made himself, back when he was a devout Pharisee. But is he really giving in to public pressure, or fighting for the purity of the gospel? Join us for “If You Can’t Please Everyone…” from Galatians 1:10!
Cut for Time: Galatians 1:1-9
October 06, 2021 20:00 - 13 minutes - 12.3 MBPastor Joey gives us some additional context for reading and understanding the book of Galatians and shares what he was reminded of while prepping for his sermon.
No Other Gospel (Gal. 1:1-9)
October 04, 2021 15:00 - 39 minutes - 33.8 MBUnlike any others of his letters, in this letter to the Galatians Paul gets right to the point: “I’m astounded that you’ve given up on the gospel! What happened!?” As we begin this study through the entire letter, we’ll begin to uncover the reasons behind Paul’s astonishment, and we’ll look at just exactly what Paul says the gospel really is. Join us for “No Other Gospel” from Galatians 1:1-9!
The Ultimate Dream Team (John 4:31-38)
September 27, 2021 14:00 - 34 minutes - 38.2 MBMark Slaughter taught from this verse in his keynote titled, "The Ultimate Dream Team." How are you called to be a part of the global team that God is building? Are you called to pray, care, give, or go? Prayerfully consider how God is calling you now, in this season, to be a part of the team. Special Guest: Mark Slaughter.
Ordinary Greatness (Ruth 4)
September 20, 2021 17:00 - 33 minutes - 27.5 MBRuth 4 records the striking reversal of fortune of all the major characters in this story. But it’s no miracle; it’s the quiet faithfulness of God through the acts of greatness of ordinary people. Join us for “Ordinary Greatness” from Ruth 4, as we see God work in incredible ways through ordinary people.

Hope of Rescue (Ruth 3)
September 13, 2021 14:00 - 40 minutes - 24.9 MBIt’s wonderful when God answers prayer by acting directly or miraculously to bring about good outcomes. But what if he more commonly works in and through people to accomplish his purposes? And what if that might include us?

Under His Wings (Ruth 2)
September 07, 2021 15:00 - 38 minutes - 24.7 MBThe dramatic Biblical story of Ruth continues, almost written in the form of a 4 Act screen play ready for filming. Act 2, the second chapter finds the two widows, Naomi and Ruth, now in Bethlehem from Moab. What hope does a widowed Moabite woman have in a tight knit Jewish town that is filled with danger for a foreigner?

August 30, 2021 13:00 - 35 minutes - 22 MBThe story of Ruth is a glimpse into what God is doing to accomplish his good purposes, not despite the choices of people, but through them. When all things appear hopeless, God is faithful. It’s a message for those who doubt whether God is in control, whether God is good, and whether faithfulness to do what is right is worth it in hard times. Join us as we look at “Hope in Suffering” from Ruth chapter 1.
Wisdom Personified (Proverbs 31:10-31)
August 23, 2021 17:00 - 31 minutes - 20.8 MBThe writers of Proverbs have given us wisdom for relationships, work, family, community, money, possessions, perspective on life, and more.

I Am Weary O God (Proverbs 30)
August 17, 2021 14:00 - 36 minutes - 28.2 MBAgur is an unknown writer except for this one chapter in Proverbs 30, yet he shares a confession of his weariness and need for wisdom beyond himself. This dependence on God and the requests he makes call to mind many of the appeals of the Lord’s Prayer – our need for God’s wisdom, our need for protection from evil, and our dependence on God for basic needs. Join us as Pastor Tom preaches from Proverbs 30.
The Way of Wisdom in Community (Proverbs 18)

August 02, 2021 20:15 - 16 minutes - 16.9 MBLet's focus on peace and unity – with God and especially each other. Our words and actions are too easily harsh and angry. What does Proverbs 16 have to say about our speech and how to interact with one another? How do we step aside, check our pride and motivations, and speak with self-control? We need to learn this now, more than ever, because it seems like our culture is too comfortable with the quick cancellation or harsh response.

God's New Old House (Proverbs 24:1-6)
July 19, 2021 15:00 - 35 minutes - 29.3 MBAnyone who has tried to build their own house knows that such a project involves a lot of work – and a lot of decisions. As it turns out, God is also building a house with his people. In this house project, God himself does the work but he also involves his people in so many important decisions. If God is building a house, what difference does this make to our life decisions? Special Guest: Nick Perrin.

Righteousness Exalts a Nation (Proverbs 14:34)
July 06, 2021 14:00 - 40 minutes - 12.4 MBRighteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. - Proverbs 14:34 Starting with Proverbs 10, a long chain of proverbs contrast the wise and the foolish, the righteous and the wicked, poor and rich, good and evil. But this one is somewhat unique in that it speaks not of the individual, but of a nation, a tribe, an ethnic group, any people group. As Americans celebrate 245 years as a nation on July 4, this proverb definitely applies. Is the United States of America characteri...
