Renewed Confidence (Isaiah 44:1-8

January 25, 2021 14:00 - 30 minutes - 70.8 MB

When we’re weary and worried about what’s going on and the future is uncertain, it’s easy to lose hope and feel like giving up. Join us as we discover “Renewed Confidence” from Isaiah 44:1-8.

I Am With You (Isaiah 43:1-7

January 18, 2021 15:00 - 32 minutes - 74.5 MB

In one of the most intimate passages in the Jewish Scriptures, comfort comes to Israel through God’s special relationship with them. That relationship grounds their security in the face of difficulty, and their ultimate hope in the future. Does God’s relationship with us give us the same security and hope? Join us for “I Am With You” from Isaiah 43:1-7.

Opening the Bible with Your Kids (or Grandkids!)

January 14, 2021 20:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

From week one of Grow Classes, this is Pastor Tom's first class on "Opening the Bible with Your Kids (or Grandkids!)"

The Servant Appears (Isaiah 42:1-9)

January 11, 2021 16:15 - 38 minutes - 89 MB

To encourage his people, God tells them a servant is coming! Who is this servant? What is he like? What will he do? And how does that bring comfort to God’s people? Join us to dig into these questions in “The Servant Appears” from Isaiah 42:1-9.

Renewed Strength

January 07, 2021 16:45 - 32 minutes - 44 MB

Weary? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Ever wonder “Where is God?” or “What is he doing in this?” Life is hard, but things seem harder when we can’t make sense of what’s going on. God doesn’t promise to explain things to us, but he does promise “Strength for the Weary.” Join us as we look together at Isaiah 40:27-31.

Renewed Strength (Isaiah 40:27-31)

January 07, 2021 16:45 - 32 minutes - 44 MB

Weary? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Ever wonder “Where is God?” or “What is he doing in this?” Life is hard, but things seem harder when we can’t make sense of what’s going on. God doesn’t promise to explain things to us, but he does promise “Strength for the Weary.” Join us as we look together at Isaiah 40:27-31.

Christmas Eve (Philippians 2:1-11)

December 28, 2020 13:00 - 11 minutes - 9.43 MB

Christmas Eve is here! We're recapping our Advent series (Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Recreation).

Comfort, Comfort (Isaiah 40:1-5)

December 28, 2020 13:00 - 31 minutes - 24.3 MB

Weary? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Literally can’t even? We start a new series going through Isaiah 40-49. God's people are worn out and discouraged from his severe discipline. Of course, not all weariness comes from sinful suffering, so the message of God's comfort, strength, and hope is an encouragement to us. Because when we see God for who he really is, we are comforted and strengthened, our hearts are changed, our perspective shifts, and we respond with joy. Join us as we look at Isaiah 40:...

Eternally Reunited (Philippians 2:9-11)

December 21, 2020 15:00 - 36 minutes - 82.7 MB

We wrap up our deep dive in the Apostle Paul’s call to church unity in Philippians 2:1-11 by focusing on the last three verses. Here we see Paul setting our unity in its future context: one day every knee will bow before Jesus and every tongue will confess that He is Lord! Can we embody that kind of unity now, in this fallen world? Can we be unified in the midst of our division and diversity? Yes, by God’s grace, which we’ll explore in “Eternally Reunited” from Philippians 2:9-11.

Redeemed in Unity (Philippians 2:1-11)

December 14, 2020 14:00 - 32 minutes - 73.4 MB

During Advent, we focus on one passage through the lens of the Bible storyline: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Recreation. We’re spending time in Philippians 2:1-11 to see how God's triune nature as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit means we were created for oneness, a unity that was broken at the fall, made possibly by the cross, and will one day be made new in eternity. We look to the cross to see how Jesus’ reconciling work is the only foundation for lasting unity. Join us for “Redeemed in Un...

Fallen into Disunity (Philippians 2:1-11)

December 07, 2020 14:00 - 32 minutes - 75.1 MB

We look inside ourselves, at the self-centeredness and selfishness that poison our attempts at unity. Join us for “Fallen into Disunity” as we focus in on Philippians 2:3-4.

Created For Unity (Philippians 2:1-11)

November 30, 2020 14:00 - 37 minutes - 84.7 MB

During Advent, we step back from our normal walk through a book or theme to do a deep dive into one passage, four times, looking at it through the lense of the whole-Bible storyline: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Recreation. We’re focusing on Philippians 2:1-11, that great hymn to Jesus to see how the essential oneness of God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — means we were created for oneness, a unity that was broken at the fall, made possibly by the cross, and will one day be made new in et...

Love Without Parting (John 11:17-27)

November 23, 2020 14:00 - 31 minutes - 71.2 MB

Jesus’ “I am” statements show how he is the God who is the answer to what we made for: satisfaction for our hunger, light for our darkness, direction for our wandering, connection for our isolation, and more. But death brings an end to all those things. Finally, we long for life and love that do not end. Join us as we see in John 11:17-27 how Jesus is the resurrection and the life – not just when we die, but here and now.

To Be Led (John 10:11-21)

November 16, 2020 13:00 - 35 minutes - 29.4 MB

Jesus describes himself as “the good shepherd” in John 10:11-21. Even though we may bristle at the idea of being sheep who need to be led, we do want leaders who aren’t using us for their own gain. And we want to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Join us as we explore how Jesus satisfies our real desire “To Be Led.”

To Touch Transcendence (John 14:1-7)

November 09, 2020 14:00 - 36 minutes - 84.5 MB

One of my favorite disciples is Thomas. Not because of his doubts (though I certainly resonate with those) but because of how earnestly he followed Jesus. He wanted to be connected to something bigger than himself, to know that his life meant something, to encounter ultimate reality. In pursuing transcendence, Thomas shows us one of the fundamental drives of the human heart and elicits a promise from Jesus never before thought possible: “You can know the Father.” You can touch transcendence. ...

To Be Fed (John 6:32-51)

November 02, 2020 15:00 - 32 minutes - 73.4 MB

We all know what hunger is like – we long to be satisfied and want no more. But not matter how often we eat we will always get hungry again. Jesus uses our experience of physical hunger to point to how he satisfies what our souls long for. Join us as we look at what we want when we want “To Be Filled” from John 6:32-51.

To Be Connected (John 15:1-11)

October 26, 2020 13:00 - 34 minutes - 78.4 MB

What do we want when we want to be connected? We’re made to be part of something bigger than ourselves. And we all long for a life that matters, that makes a difference. Join us as we explore John 15:1-11 and see how life with Jesus answers those needs and fills us with joy!

To See (John 8:12-20)

October 19, 2020 13:00 - 36 minutes - 84.4 MB

John, in recounting the stories of Jesus’ life, speaks often of light and darkness, culminating in Jesus’ powerful proclamation: “I am the Light of the World!” How does Jesus’ declaration of his divinity drive at the deepest desires of our hearts? Join us for “To See,” from John 8:12-20, as we turn our gaze on the Light of the World.

To Be Let In (John 10:1-10)

October 12, 2020 13:00 - 32 minutes - 73.3 MB

Jesus said, “I am the door of the sheep.” How does a door answer our deep needs and longings? Maybe it’s better to ask, “What do we want when we want to be let in?” Join us as we look at the answer to that question from John 10:1-10.

What Do You Want (John 1:35-29)

October 05, 2020 13:00 - 25 minutes - 58.7 MB

The first time Jesus speaks in the gospel of John he asks a question: “What do you want?” What are you seeking? In other words, what are you looking for? It’s a question that continues to resonate with us today. What are we seeking? And where do we find it? What do we want when we want intimacy? Jesus said, “I am the vine.” What do we want when we want to see? Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” What do we want when we want transcendence? Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the l...

The Lord Delights in Steadfast Love (Micah 7:18-20)

September 21, 2020 15:00 - 28 minutes - 66.3 MB

In spite of our failure to honor God, walk humbly with him, and love others faithfully, God remembers his promise to show mercy, forgiveness and kindness to us. As the recipients of those blessings, we are the people who reflect what he is like to others. Join us as we see how “The Lord Delights in Steadfast Love” from Micah 7:18-20.

Living Lament in a World Gone Mad (Micah 7:1-17)

September 14, 2020 13:00 - 36 minutes - 40.1 MB

With all the injustices Micah saw and preached against, you have to wonder how he maintained his faith in a just and all-powerful God. Couldn’t God do something about all of this? It drives Micah to lament. And yet, somehow, he evidences an incredible hope: “as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation.” How do we live lament in a world gone mad? Join us as we learn from Micah’s example in Micah 7:1-17.

God's Tough Love (Micah 6:9-16)

September 08, 2020 13:00 - 30 minutes - 26.2 MB

God has saved, guided, and cared for his people, and shown them how to live – but they’ve rejected him and his ways. How does God show justice and mercy to people who don’t know either one? Join us as we look at “God's Tough Love” from Micah 6:9-16.

What Does God Command (Micah 6:1-8)

August 31, 2020 13:00 - 31 minutes - 72.8 MB

In one of the most concise summaries of how God's covenant people should behave in the Old Testament, Micah gives us a beautiful picture of life with God. Justice, humility, and mercy. Join us as we ask and answer the question, “What Does God Command” from Micah 6:1-8.

Dominance and Dependence (Micah 5:7-15)

August 24, 2020 13:00 - 36 minutes - 43.7 MB

In two back-to-back prophecies, Micah predicts both Israel’s absolute dominance and total humiliation. How can these two images, these two prophecies of Israel’s future go together? We explore Micah 5:7-15 together, “Dominance and Dependence,” and see how God exalts and humbles, vindicates and purifies his people.

The Great Reversal (Micah 4:6-5:6)

August 17, 2020 14:00 - 32 minutes - 35.7 MB

Micah continues to point God’s people to hope in a glorious future in which greatness will come out of weakness, and restoration follows rejection. But this message comes in the immediate context of threats, loss, and judgment. And in those trials there’s hope – not in power or military might, but in Israel’s good shepherd. Join us for “The Great Reversal” from Micah 4:7–5:6.

I've Seen Better Days (Micah 4:1-5)

August 10, 2020 14:00 - 29 minutes - 66.9 MB

From judgment, to hope, and back to judgment; this cycle runs throughout Micah’s prophetic letter. But in this short section, 4:1-5, the prophet ascends as high as poetry can take him envisioning the future glory of God in his deliverance of the people of Israel. Join us for “I’ve Seen Better Days” as we explore the hope of Israel’s deliverance.

Justice, Truth and Power (Micah 3:1-12)

August 03, 2020 13:00 - 28 minutes - 23.6 MB

In Micah 3, the prophet critiques the nation’s rulers with some of the most shocking language in the Bible. They pervert justice, fill the city with violence, and destroy the people. Worse, the religious leaders side with these wealthy oppressors, instead of defending the vulnerable and reflecting God’s justice and mercy. But there is hope that God will give strength to those who follow his word and that he will judge and remove the unjust leaders. Join us as we look at “Justice, Truth, and P...

Break Out (Micah 2:1-13)

July 27, 2020 14:00 - 31 minutes - 25.6 MB

In chapter 1, Micah pictured how sin spreads out like an infection. Now we see how it pops up in everyday life, among people who don’t think they have a problem – even while they take advantage of others and use God’s word to justify themselves. But God promises there is healing and deliverance for his people. Join us for “Break Out,” from Micah 2:1-13.

Infectious Sins (Micah 1:1-16)

July 22, 2020 13:00 - 32 minutes - 34.6 MB

Micah begins his prophecy portraying God—like a parent who cares most passionately about their own child’s behavior—as a judge of the nations, beginning with his own people. The sin of his people, from the capital cities down to the rural towns, cannot go unaddressed, even if the most extreme measures must be used: exile. Is there any hope? Join us for “Infectious Sins,” from Micah 1:1-16.

What Does God Require (Micah 1-7)

July 13, 2020 14:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

We begin a new series in the book of Micah. Micah lived during troubling times of moral and religious decline, political instability, and social change and injustice. Even though God’s people are judged for their part in these wrongs, the LORD promises that justice, mercy, peace, and righteousness will flourish under the Messiah’s rule. Join us as we begin our introduction to Micah, “What does God require?”

Self-Control (1 Corinthians 9:19-27)

July 06, 2020 13:00 - 28 minutes - 10.6 MB

We've all discovered the need for more self-control over the last few months. How is this last 'flavor' of the fruit of the Spirit similar to and different from self-restraint, delayed gratification, or biting your tongue? Join us as we look at "self-control" in 1 Corinthians 9:19-27.

Gentleness (James 3:13-18)

June 26, 2020 18:00 - 38 minutes - 30.9 MB

Long before social media addiction came around, Paul listed gentleness as one of the Fruit of the Spirit. Carrying the idea of “not being overly impressed with your own self-importance,” this fruit hits us where it hurts: our temptation to let everyone know how important we are. Join us as we study Gentleness from James 3:13-18.

Faithfulness (Matthew 25:14-30)

June 19, 2020 19:00 - 40 minutes - 34.2 MB

We all know what faithfulness is, right? But contained in the idea of “faithfulness” are virtues like reliability, courage, and endurance. So how do we grow in faithfulness? Tune in as we explore Matthew 25:14-30 in “Faithfulness”.
