I am the Door - The Story of the Gospel

The Story of the Gospel - Mercy
February 13, 2017 00:52 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBWhen you have a worldview of scarcity, you tend to feel shame for not measuring up, or pride for being better than another. Jesus does not play the comparison game. Jesus offers mercy rather than shame, mercy rather than a title. Jesus offers abundant mercy for all.
The Story of the Gospel - The Strong Man
February 06, 2017 01:07 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBFor the last few weeks and continuing throughout the year we have been defining and discussing the reality of Jesus’ message. Jesus’ words have been both sharp and comforting. This weekend we continue that, but focus on what it means for us, not just as individuals but Missio Dei corporately. What do these realities of the Gospel mean for us as a church? How do they inform our vision and values and what does our future look like? If you call Missio Dei home this message is essential to unders...
The Story of the Gospel: The Persistent Neighbor
January 30, 2017 00:26 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBOn of the most beautiful parts of the gospel is its depth. Over the last three weeks we have plumbed some deep truths of this message and a lot of us have been challenged. This we week we will take a bit of a breath and discuss not only what the gospel call us to, but what it offers us. Jesus message changed everything and we will continue to discuss how it changes our outlook and priorities but today we discuss how it affects the fundamental reality of who we are.
Story of the Gospel - Seeds and Yeast
January 22, 2017 22:42 - 46 minutes - 32.1 MBNo one wants to lead a life of futility. Whether you are a Christian or not, there is something intrinsic to humanity that makes us repel futility. So how do we know that the Gospel is making a difference in our lives? How do we really know that following Jesus is better than following something else. In the Parable of the Mustard Seed/Yeast Jesus shows us what success looks like in his Kingdom. He reorients and redefines what it means to find significance and success in our lives and he ulti...
The Story of the Gospel: The Field
January 16, 2017 00:38 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBJesus doesn’t bring us a message that is just ok or a good idea. He steps into our world and brings us a message that is more valuable than anything this world has ever seen. Last week we laid the foundation for the Gospel and this week we begin to add bricks to that foundation. Through the Parable of the Field Jesus shows us that his Kingdom is worth anything and everything that we would sacrifice to get it. He shows us that his message is not meant to turn us into consumers or kings rather ...
The Story of the Gospel - Foundation
January 09, 2017 00:53 - 51 minutes - 35.7 MBThe Gospel is not meant to be an accessory to our daily living. The old way of life cannot accommodate the influx of the Gospel, a brand new way to live that not only affects our past and future, but life today.
Jesus the King
January 02, 2017 00:51 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBWhat does it mean when we call Jesus "King?" If He is King, where or what is His Kingdom? And, what does it all mean for us? To kick the new year off, Pastor Heather walks us through Matthew 4 and explores the kingship and kingdom of Jesus.

Advent of the Already - Justice
December 12, 2016 00:38 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBWhere does reconciliation and the restoration of power lead? In simple to justice. This is what the Biblical narrative is all about, wrong things being made right and then good. And this story climaxing in the advent of Jesus.
Advent of the Already - Power
December 05, 2016 00:38 - 43 minutes - 30.3 MBAt the heart of the advent story is a story about power. A story specefically about Jesus redeeming and restoring power and inviting us into a new way that brings redemption and restoration.
Advent of the Already - Reconciliation
November 28, 2016 00:46 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MBAdvent is a time of year when we retell the story of the incarnation. But, what makes this story significant for us now? What makes it more than fun songs and family time? In simple, reconciliation.
The Gospel and Politics
November 21, 2016 00:31 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBThis week we take an unplanned break from our series to discuss the election and its implications for our church. On the heels of the election emotions, tensions, and opinions are everywhere we look. So what does the response of a Christian look like? Are we allowed to mourn? Is it ok if we feel relief? How do we even begin to love and serve the person who thinks and votes differently than we do?

The Pursuing God- Week 2
September 18, 2016 22:48 - 47 minutes - 32.3 MBThe crucifixion of Jesus shows God's pursuit of us. God makes several loud statements about his love for us through this sacrifice. The cross is Jesus joining us in our distance from God, in order to bring us home to God. The cross speaks honestly about a debt that had to be paid, and about a God who was willing to pay it. The cross reveals the deepest love of the Father as he endures the greatest sacrifice of all. The cross preaches to us that we don't take communion or enter the wate...
The Pursuing God Week 1
September 11, 2016 22:48 - 52 minutes - 35.9 MBThe Incarnation of Jesus shows God's pursuit of us. Jesus refuses to stand at a distance, but enters into the dirt to make us clean. His incarnation proves his love and pursuit of everyone. His life and death and resurrection proves his loving pursuit.

September 04, 2016 22:24 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MBThis Sunday, we finished up our series Good Things. So far we've explored how we can love and serve our city by Doing Good Things, Saying Good Things, and Making Good Things. We wrapped up by showing how all of that is possible because of the work of Jesus. His work is what makes it all possible and our call in it is to Celebrate Good Things.
Do Good Things
August 14, 2016 22:15 - 51 minutes - 35.7 MBToday we started a brand new series entitled, Good Things, exploring the work God has called us to.

Voices of Revolution - week 3
July 28, 2016 03:16 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MBIn week 3 of our series, Voices of Revolution, Nate Tunnel took us to the book of Hosea. Hosea is a hard and weird story about a hard and weird relationship. But in the midst of this broken love story we learn some of the most beautiful things about God and His relentless pursuit of us.
Voices of Revolution - Week 2
July 19, 2016 02:47 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MBIn this week of our series, Voices of Revolution, Pastor Kyle opens up the Prophet Isaiah. What is truly unique about the prophet Isaiah is the way he responds to the mission God has given him. God promises Him in the beginning that it's going to be difficult, that it'll challenge his identity, his understanding of success, and that it'll force him to trust God in a way he's never imagined. But the good news of Isaiah is the good news of the gospel. Isaiah's life and work matters because of J...

Voices of Revolution - Week 1
July 10, 2016 22:24 - 43 minutes - 59.3 MBThis week we began a new series entitled, Voices of Revolution, exploring some of our favorite biblical prophets. The prophets can be hard to read and understand in part its because they use strange language and talk about strange things but on the other hand it's because we tend to approach the prophets with a few misconceptions. In this weeks sermon we introduce the prophets and explore one specifically, the prophet Ezekiel.
Ghost Stories - Week 6
July 06, 2016 00:35 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBAs we close our series the question we’re asking today is, “what is that hope?” What is the thing the Spirit is moving us towards? Where are we going? What does it look like? To answer that question we rooted ourselves in Revelation 21:1-3; 23-27; 21:1-2 and looked at three different pictures. In the first, we saw that the Spirit’s ultimate work is about making real the Kingdom of Jesus through the reconciliation of heaven and earth. Second, we saw that this Kingdom is one of redemption where...
Ghost Stories - Week 5
June 26, 2016 18:26 - 52 minutes - 35.8 MBGod is never threatened or confused by the circumstances of our lives. We may think that God is limited or that we must attain a certain amount of success or importance for God to love us or call us to join him, but he never makes that claim. The Holy Spirit is our evidence and guarantor of that. The minute we follow Jesus is the minute God begins a supernatural work in us through his Spirit. The Apostle Paul makes that clear when he says “that God’s Spirit has began a good work in us, sustai...
Ghost Stories - Week 4
June 19, 2016 00:00 - 43 minutes - 30.1 MBThis week we continue our series about the Holy Spirit. We talked about the reality that he shows up by gifting us, being active, asking us to do specific things and manifesting himself in not so ordinary ways. For some this topic can cause anxiety and fear because of past experiences or the uncertainty of how he going to show up.
Ghost Stories - Week 3
June 12, 2016 00:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MBIf you don't understand what the Holy Spirit does and who he is then you are missing something fundamental to life. The Holy Spirit is the only reason that creation has any hope to overcome death. In this passage of Ezekiel God shows us how his Spirit is not held back by anything. Even in a valley of dead, bleached, unclean, unholy, bones God's spirit brings life, renewal and thriving. In our lives as individuals and in our life as a church we often try to hide the dead places but the Holy Sp...
Ghost Stories - Week 2
May 29, 2016 00:00 - 54 minutes - 37.1 MBWhen Jesus is getting ready to die and be resurrected he says that its much better that the Holy Spirit comes. (John 16) Many folks who read this are confused. Isn't Jesus always better? But Jesus knew something that the people then didn't know and something that we struggle with now. God’s Spirit working in complete partnership with the pursuit of the father and the reconciling work of the son is absolutely what is needed for us to know and experience the real life that the Father has always...
Ghost Stories - Week 1
May 22, 2016 00:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBIn this sermon Missio Dei starts a new series on the Holy Spirit entitled Ghost Stories. Heather & Jonny together preach on who the Spirit is and what He has always been doing in Scripture, the world, and our lives.

Kingdom of Color - Week 4
May 01, 2016 21:09 - 50 minutes - 68.7 MBEven for Christians who have worshipped Jesus for years it can be easy to confuse the purpose and mission of God. The book of Ephesians is a profound call to God's purpose and mission. The mystery of God’s work through Jesus is to unite the nations (all people) to him and to one another. So what does that mean for the Christian or the newcomer? How do we get in on this mystery that has been defined as God’s mission? How does his mission speak to our lives as a church, in our city, and with t...
Kingdom of Color - Week 3
April 24, 2016 00:00 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBBeing confronted about sin is always difficult. Being confronted about racism is extra difficult. In Galatians 2, Peter is confronted about his own racism which doesn't fit the "stereotypes" but is still out of step with the gospel? What are his sins and what do they say about ours? And how should we respond?
