Episodes
-
The Power of Proper Perspective
Andrew Clark preaches on the importance of seeing ourselves and God rightly. When we do, we find our place and we experience his power.
-
God Uses His Stupid Message
Andrew Clark preaches from 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. The truth of the gospel is joy, peace, wisdom, and beauty to those it is changing, but to those who don't know it is literally stupid. God uses what is foolish in the world to bring about his amazing, life-giving purposes. God's heart is that we…

The Undivided Gospel
Joel Maginnis teaches on the importance of an undivided community, centered around the simple, true gospel. As soon as we begin changing the good news of Jesus Christ in any way, we begin to faction and the gospel loses its power.
-
Practicing Gratitude
Andrew Clark teaches on 1 Corinthians 1:4-9, where Paul is expressing his gratitude to God for the Corinthian church. Our gratitude is certainly a response to the goodness and blessings of God, but gratitude must also be practiced and grown, that we may rejoice in the Lord always.
-
Called Together
Joel Maginnis teaches on the introduction of 1 Corinthians, setting the tone and context for the book. God's desire for his church is that our lives would be defined by Christ-centered unity expressed in deep love for one another.
-
Vision Sunday
Listen in as Andrew Clark shares what God has been stirring in our church community, what our big picture goals are, and what this means for us this fall.
-
Do we want more of Him?
As we conclude the book of James, we ask ourselves: do we want more of God in our life and our community?
-
How do we establish our hearts?
The promises of God are not made to us in a perfect, vacuum-sealed world. On the contrary, God knows the brokenness of our lives, within and without. What does it look like to establish our hearts in the truth and person of God himself? How do we abide?
-
How does God view wealth?
How do we steward the wealth we are blessed with?
-
How do we plan in God's wisdom?
Our lives need planning, but how do we do this in God's wisdom?
-
How do we live in God's grace?
The grace of God is to received and experienced in all of life for the follower of Jesus. How does our pride prevent this?
-
How do we pursue peace?
The peace of God is not just absence of conflict or a lack of stress. Rather, peace is a wholeness, a completeness, that only Christ provides through our faith in him. He is the one who makes us whole.
-
What does true faith look like?
We know that faith and works both play an integral part in walking with Jesus, but often these two principles are seen as two separate things that need to join together somehow. What if, instead, they are part of the same thing, brought together by a heart that treasures Jesus?
-
How do we judge rightly?
As followers of Jesus, we are not to show partiality towards others. How, then, do we navigate through life, growing in discernment and avoiding discrimination?
-
How does faith actually work?
Our relationship with God is based primarily on faith, but what does this faith look like? Far from simply a mental assent to a collection of belief, we begin to see in the book of James that pure faith, which pleases God and blesses us and others, works itself out into every moment in all of our...
-
Can I trust that God is good?
If we are going to follow God's way when we face hard times, we are going to have to trust his character? Is he trustworthy? Is he good?
-
Does God's way work when life hurts?
If we are going to follow the way of Jesus with all of who we are, his way needs to work in the high times of life and in the low times. Can we trust his way to work when life is hard?
-
The Path of Peace
In our last sermon of the series, come face to face with the final deadly sin: wrath. Anger has a unique way of making itself at home in our innermost being. Anger, in the moment might be reasonable, but while it might be ok to be mad, it's never ok to stay there. Wisdom shows us what anger does…
more -
The Path of Honor
Fighting lust is not simply about fighting disordered desires, it is about recapturing who we were truly made to be.
-
The Path of Satisfaction
Gluttony is the silent sin. It's entirely acceptable to talk about how lust or greed are sinful, but it is not often that we talk about how we are affected by our relationship to food and drink and how that might be a sign post to a deeper need: satisfaction. Comfort. The wisdom of God gives us a...
-
The Way of Fortitude
Sloth is not simply overindulgent laziness - the problem is much deeper. Instead, sloth is a disruption of our calling as image-bearers of God as we love ourselves and our comfort more than our neighbors, family, and even God. How do we navigate out of spiritual apathy into fortitude and a life…
more -
The Path of Generosity
Scripture speaks loudly about our love of possessions. Many of us have believed a lie: life is a zero-sum game and if I don't look out for myself, then I'm missing out. So we take because we do not trust. Wisdom corrects this lie and preaches to us that God is generous and that generosity is the...
-
The Path of Love
Envy does not just rob us of joy - it is a distortion of our very role and calling as those made in God's image, designed to be satisfied in him. How do we walk the path of peace, away from envy and towards a proper love for God, ourselves, our neighbors, and even our enemies?
-
The Path of Humility
God is not indifferent to pride - He opposes the proud but gives abundant grace and favor to the humble. How do we wear and walk the path of peace towards humility?
-
The Path of Wisdom
God prescribes a way of being in the world that leads to life and flourishing. Proverbs gives us practical insight into what that looks like. But before we can travel down the paths of wisdom, we need to understand exactly what wisdom is and why it's so valuable. Wisdom begins with wisdom.
-
There Is More
The great news of Easter Sunday is not just that Jesus is alive, but that in him we get to live with God all the days of our life.
-
Healing Judgement
This week marks the turn: Heavy judgment produces hope and healing in the lives of God's faithful people. This has always been God's pattern, which means you and I have hope in the here and now. God's refining judgement produces goodness in the lives of those who love Him.
-
Time to Return
Zephaniah is a book that is equal parts hope and sorrow—joy and pain. Our tendency is often to skip to the good part. But there is no hope without sorrow, no joy without repentance. Hope is coming, so let’s do everything we can right now to be ready for it. It’s time to return to the Lord.
-
The God That Sees, Hears, Knows, and Loves
What would it be like to be fully, completely, and perfectly known and loved? God sees, hears, and knows all, even our imperfections and our failures. And yet, he is, without doubt or compromise, the God who loves, deeply and fiercely.
-
Genuine Repentance
God's anger and desire for us to turn from sin is more about what we love than what we do. How do we know our repentance is genuine?
-
Refining Love
What if God's love, which both comforts and refines, is far deeper than we know?
-
Diluted Worship
The book of Zephaniah starts from a place of strong condemnation for the people of God. Why is God so angry with Israel and what can we learn about idolatry as the people of God today?
-
The Bread & The Wine: Communion
What is communion and why is it important? Listen in as we discuss this sacrament, explain what it means, and show why it matters in the life of the church.
-
The Water: Baptism
What is baptism and why is it important? Listen in as we discuss this sacrament, explain what it means, and show why it matters in the life of the church.
-
The Grace We Get But Nobody Deserves
The story of Jonah shares a primary message: God is full of grace and he gives it freely, even to those of us who don't deserve it.
-
The Grace of God
This chapter helps us understand the grace of God. His grace for us in Jesus is unending; will we let this grace change us from the inside out?
-
God's Sovereignty and the Abyss
Jonah has run as far as humanly possible from the presence of God. But where can man go to escape the Lord who is King even of life and death? Jonah prays to the Lord from a place of death and despair and we modern readers get to see God's sovereignty over all things on full display.
-
Souls on the Run
Since the garden of Eden, people have been hiding from God. What can Jonah's attempted escape teach us about our own tendency to hide from the God who made, loves, and refines us?
-
Posture, Productivity, and The Stale Bread of Anxiety
Our lives, by necessity, need work and watching. A struggle free-existence is an impossibility - so how would God have us live? This psalm reminds us to live and labor with our eyes to heaven, remembering that he does not reward with anxiety, but deep, abundant rest.
-
Remembrance, Prayer, & Promises
The ending of an old year and the beginning of a new year afford us an opportunity for reflection, prayer, and a clinging to the promises of God. This liturgy is intended to posture our hearts towards our Heavenly Father as we begin a new year.
-
Christmas Eve 2025
What would it mean for the Son of God to come to us? What does his arrival mean for us today? Beneath everything we long and war for, we need grace. The good news of Christmas is that in Jesus we have received grace upon grace.
-
Normal Life & True Life
Our best laid plans, many times and despite our efforts, don't work out. What if, however, we saw God working in this disruption? What if the disruption is a blessing? The advent of Christ interrupted Josephs plans, but his response to God's plan changed his life forever.
-
The Seeking & The Settled
Even in his earliest years of life, the arrival of Jesus rippled powerfully in the lives of those around him. This week we see how he drew in the curious and provoked the proud. He does the same today - how will we respond to his love, truth, and power?
-
The Gospel Changes Everything
In our passage today, we see that just by virtue of being born, Jesus turns the world on its head. He upsets expectations, reorders priorities and demolishes the social structure of the day. Real Jesus brings real change, even for us today.
-
Jesus and the will of God
What is God's plan for your life? Mary, the mother of Jesus, provides a beautiful example that shows us God will use all of us where we are, as we are. The real Jesus meets real people.
-
Tending to Growth: Missions
As we conclude our series on growth, we look forward to what growth is intended for: more of God for us and for those around us. We are not just growing to be individually mature people, we are to be contributing agents of the kingdom that God is building through the church. This is our great...
-
Tending to Growth: Stewardship
Generosity is both a means and a measure of growth in Jesus. What does it look like to not just be financially generous but spiritually free in our daily lives?
-
Tending to Growth: Community
One of the greatest joys of following Jesus is that of the community that is formed along the way. What makes this community distinct from other groups? What does this distinction mean for us and for those around us?
-
Tending to Growth: Repentance
Often seen by our culture as a phrase of hate or intolerance, we desire to reclaim and accurately frame the concept of repentance. Repentance is one of the keys to growth and freedom in Christ, but we must understand what we are turning from, who we are turning towards, and what this turning…

Tending to Growth: Discipline
The flip side of meditation is the self control that makes meditation both possible and useful long term. Discipline is difficult but necessary; and ultimately, praise God, worth it.
