By No Means | Romans 6:1-4

March 14, 2023 13:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MB

Paul starts out this section by asking a rhetorical question. He hears the people saying, “Well, should I sin more that grace may abound?” To which Paul as loud as possible says BY NO MEANS. Why? Because we have died to the old life and now live in JOY. Jesus influences us into a change that transforms us. God promises us NEWNESS of life; which is a life of more JOY than we could ever imagine.

The Gift is Greater Than the Sin | Romans 5:15-21

March 07, 2023 14:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MB

Paul sets Jesus alongside Adam; & by comparing & contrasting the two, he tunnels us into the utter depths of our sin; which enhances our experience of the infinite beauty, power, glory & gift of Christ. The GIFT is greater than the sin. As much destruction as sin has done in this world, the grace of God is greater still–more powerful than the prince of darkness, breaking the chains of the generational sin I inherited, & greater than the self destruction of my heart–God WINS.

Don't Despise the Small Things | Ezra 1:1-5

February 28, 2023 14:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MB

How It Started vs. How It's Going | Romans 5:12-14

February 21, 2023 14:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MB

Sin didn’t start with us but it certainly hasn’t ended with us. From Adam to Moses, everyone in between, and everyone since, sin has led to death. The first sin set humanity on a course for destruction but the first perfect man has set us on an even more powerful course of redemption.

Contemplating God's Love | Romans 5:6-11

February 14, 2023 14:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MB

Prosperity of Peace | Romans 5:1-5

February 07, 2023 14:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MB

Throughout Romans Paul has been clear that no one is righteous and all are without excuse before God's judgment (1:18-3:20). The only way to stand righteous before God is by Faith and the Grace of God (3:21-4:25). Today Paul reveals the “benefits of belief” which start with having peace with God—As believers we’re now marked by confidence (5:1-8:39). We have the Prosperity of Peace with God.

Why Did God Choose Faith? | Romans 4:16-24

January 31, 2023 14:00 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MB

Paul takes the origin story of the people of God and proves that the way to experience a thriving relationship with God has always been through faith. THEY had faith in God’s promise then, WE have faith in God’s promise now.

Timing Is Everything | Romans 4:9-15

January 24, 2023 14:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MB

The joy of Jesus is for everyone because it occurs by grace through faith alone. Joy comes from trusting in and fully relying on what Christ has done through his life, death and resurrection every moment of every day as we live in community on mission together.

Field Pass | Romans 4:1-8

January 17, 2023 14:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MB

Christmas Eve | Matthew 1:18-25

December 27, 2022 14:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MB

Worldly Hope: desire for something- wishing on a star, crossing fingers, sending up empty prayers Biblical Hope: trusting & waiting expectantly and with certainty We experience hope by looking for God in our gaps, giving God the entirety of our gaps, and trusting Jesus as the solution to our gaps.

Hope Is Here | Zechariah 9:1-14:21

December 20, 2022 14:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

The message of hope in Zechariah is not just for the people of God in antiquity, it means hope for us today. We have hope in the Messiah, God helps us make sense of our past and see him in it, and God gives us a picture of the future that helps us hold onto hope, even in the darkest times.

Rebuilding and Reclaiming Your WHY | Zechariah 7:1-8:23

December 13, 2022 14:00 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MB

When we lose our why, we will faithfully lose our way; this is true of Israel and true of me and you. God's grace does not give up on Israel then, or us now and it is His mercy that gives us HOPE. We are all in the middle of the greatest redemption story of ALL time, and we get the privilege of being used by Him to bring the Kingdom to Sacramento as it is in Heaven.

Overcoming the Overwhelm of Christmas | Zechariah 1:1-6:15

December 06, 2022 14:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MB

Israelites regathered and rebuilt after a season of exile. Though we weren’t exiled, we have regathered the past couple years and can learn from the lessons of the Israelites. May we, like them, remember God’s past faithfulness, and may it motivate us to press on in overwhelming seasons. Hold fast to the the truth that He is going to rebuild. The final product is not only worth it, but the process of journeying with Him is for His glory, our good, and a watching world!

The Great Collision | Romans 3:23-31

November 29, 2022 14:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MB

God’s justice and His love collide in the cross. God’s righteous demand that sin be punished runs straight into His love for us. The inevitable result of this collision is the death of Jesus, and unity with God for us! Paul gives us 3 implications of what this great love does for us: humility, unification and righteous living.

Grace-Based Gratitude | Romans 3:21-25

November 22, 2022 14:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MB

The righteousness of God, that we heard about in the Old Testament, is now on full display in the person and work of Jesus. None of us are better than any of us and all of us fail to measure up to God's perfect standard. The good news is that God has made us right with Him through Jesus, so that everyone would know that our standing with God depends on faith alone.

No Advantage | Romans 3:9-20

November 15, 2022 14:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MB

No one is able to earn God’s love on their own. No one is able to find salvation and joy in the Kingdom of God through their own effort. Rather, our sin and mistakes are a mirror that reveal the depth of our desperate dependence, our brokenness, & our never-ending need for Christ every single moment of every single day.

Is God Fair? | Romans 3:1-8

November 08, 2022 14:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

Paul is telling the Jewish listeners that though they have been “chosen”, they are still in need of Christ. Even when the chosen people of God are faithless, God remains faithful. God’s righteousness and holiness are based upon who God is, not based upon anything His creation does. We will only find joy when we recognize our desperate and dependent need for Christ.

Heart Issue | Romans 2:17-29

November 01, 2022 13:00 - 45 minutes - 31.2 MB

Being chosen seems to inevitably breed a sense of entitlement, of being better than. This sense of being “good” or “better than” versus others is extremely spiritually dangerous, because the standard is Christ. Paul continues to build his case that ALL of us are guilty of sinning against God, no matter our background and no matter what we think the external signs show. In today’s text, Paul goes on to argue that though many of us have symbols unmistakably connected to faith in God, the symbo...

God Is Not Lenient | Romans 2:12-16

October 25, 2022 18:00 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MB

In Romans 2 Paul has laid a trap for anyone who thinks that the list of sins in chapter 1 isn't about them–reality is we are ALL on the hook for our choices & sin against God. Paul is attempting to deepen our understanding & experience of God’s Gospel which is what unites all of us out of our sin and into Him! In 2:12-16 he continues to develop the essential truth that God is not lenient, but He is undeniably fair & unmistakably firm in His judgment of everyone.

When Motives Miss It | Romans 2:6-11

October 18, 2022 20:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MB

The Gospel and We | Romans 2:1-5

October 11, 2022 13:00 - 36 minutes - 25.5 MB

Our society has trained us to think that being a “good person” is pleasing to God. That our “good” actions like attending church or serving the poor gain us favor and forgiveness. However, the hypocrisy that leaks from our life is actually causing a righteous anger in our patient God. We are storing up the WRONG treasure (God’s wrath), and this has massive implications.

Wives' Tales and the Things We Believe | Romans 1:18-2:1

October 04, 2022 20:00 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MB

Paul is writing to a multi-faceted Church to prove that at the foot of the cross they’re all equal: sinners who have rejected Christ, exchanged absolute truths for a lie, and settled for lesser joys. Sin is the “fruit” of His truth being exchanged for what we feel is right. It starts in the head, penetrates the heart and flows through the hands in a myriad of actions (hands) that show who really sits on the throne of our hearts. If it’s anyone other than Jesus, we are ALL in big trouble.

Only the Gospel | Romans 1:16-17

September 27, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MB

Preach the Gospel | Romans 1:7-15

September 20, 2022 13:00 - 39 minutes - 27.6 MB

Paul calls the Church of Rome to be united by the Gospel. The benefit of this will literally change their neighborhoods, Rome, Spain & the Ends of the Earth. It is no wonder Paul desired to GO to Rome and one day be SENT by them too. May we faithfully and collectively be united by the Gospel to do and be the same—here and to the ends of the earth.

United By the Gospel | Romans 1:1-7

September 13, 2022 23:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MB

What Is Our Mission?

September 06, 2022 07:00 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MB

The Church operates like a battleship where every believer is called to recognize their role and live on mission for Christ. We carry out this mission by being disciples who make disciples as we devote ourselves to 3 key relationships in our lives (R3). When each of these relationships is lived out, we grow as disciples who make disciples (E1H1). Weekly we gather, in order to be scattered and live SENT. As we scatter, we are united through Christ, living on mission in our pray-watch communit...

"We believe in the personal, bodily and glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The coming of Christ, at a time known only to God, demands constant expectancy and, as our blessed hope, motivates the believer to godly living, sacrificial service and energetic mission"

Who Are We?

August 23, 2022 13:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MB

The Church is God’s Plan A for glorifying His name and spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Each person who is a part of the body has a unique and important role in order for the Church to carry out its mission. Through the body we experience Communitas as we share in a special community together on mission. This Communitas sharpens, transforms, and helps us grow deeper in our relationship with God. Further, the Communitas we experience fuels us to live on mission as together we ar...

Jesus died so we would experience life in His kingdom. We must surrender our lives not only to the King, but also to the SPIRIT, as He guides us in exploring and experiencing (#JoyInJesus) Kingdom/Garden living.

What Did Christ Do?

August 09, 2022 13:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MB

The cross deals with our sin and reconciles us to God, which means we are new creations in Christ. Now with a new perspective, we live out of the overflow of His Spirit on a mission to reach the world with the Gospel.

Who Is Christ?

August 02, 2022 13:00 - 34 minutes - 24.1 MB

Jesus Christ came incarnate as the perfect image of God, both fully God and fully man. His invitation to us is to get off the throne of our hearts, surrender, and follow Him. Jesus offers us the good life that is found only in Him. When we surrender to Christ, we experience His life-giving power and our new mission and purpose to live SENT for His Kingdom.

Who Am I?

July 19, 2022 13:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MB

Sin is ALWAYS destructive and ultimately results in death and separation from God. We live in a world that tells us to trust, believe and rely on ourselves. However, God’s Word tells us we are inherently Desperate & Dependent at our deepest core. Recognition of our weakness and the sickness of sin inside of us leads us to joyfully get off the throne of our hearts.

The Most Important Thing About You

July 12, 2022 13:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MB

The way we think about God determines everything about the way we live. How we understand God's character and nature will shape how we spend our time, talent, and treasure. What we believe God does or does not value will shape what we value in our lives as well. The story of creation and of our lives is ultimately about God and His glory.

Rome is the Babylon for John and there were many before and many after; but the truth of the matter is that NONE of them will stand.
