Episodes

  1. For Glory and For Beauty — Exodus 25:1-9 & 35:30-36:7

    The Big Takeaway: Glory and beauty are ultimately the clothing of the believer. In the design of the tabernacle with all its related priestly garments and sacred furnishings, we see how worship should lift our eyes to recognize God’s beautiful redemptive design. In the endless generosity of the...

  2. Jesus’ Generosity, and Ours — 2 Corinthians 8:8-15

    10.04.26 sermon

  3. Basic Christianity — 1 John 4:7-21

    The Big Takeaway: Be relentless every day in loving God and neighbor. John emphasizes this point in verses 7-12 and again in verses 13-21. In short, this is what biblical Christianity looks like. God calls us to be Christians who love others just like God loved us.

  4. He Will Always Take Care of You — Luke 12:22–34

    The Big Takeaway: Put aside all your worries, because your heavenly Father will always take care of you. We know this because worrying doesn't change anything (vs. 22-26), seeking the kingdom of God is the main purpose of our lives (vs. 27-31), and trusting God above everything makes an eternal...

  5. Redeeming Suffering — Romans 5:1-5

    The Big Takeaway: Abundant life is not God helping us accomplish our goals and fulfill our dreams, but God working through us to accomplish his own purposes and works. Suffering gives us eyes to see, and ears to hear, the real meaning of our lives.

  6. Freely and Joyously — 1 Chronicles 29:6-22

    The Big Takeaway: Jesus explained that a man's heart will be where his treasure is (Luke 12:34). King David and the Chronicler celebrate true worshippers who engage in willing and joyful generosity of praise and resources. The true worship Jesus prescribes as "in spirit and truth" includes…

    more

  7. The Lord Has Promised — 1 Chronicles 21:1-22:1

    The Big Takeaway: Faith as "the conviction of things not seen" shapes our personal story. Protecting yourself from unbelief is essential. Your faith will grow as you mark your challenges and embrace your opportunities. Trust God's unfolding purposes and believe his promises given to David's…

    more

  8. "The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel's God" — 1 Chronicles 17

    The Big Takeaway: Community is central to the eternal purposes of our Creator God. It is as a community that the power of his might brings him the greatest glory. You will be numbered among his people or you will miss out on the grand finale of his spectacular design. Allow the Holy Spirit to…

    more

  9. To Change the World — Isaiah 2:1-5

    The Big Takeaway: We live in a broken world marred by suffering and evil, but God promises to make all things new. The church joins this mission by demonstrating the beauty of His Kingdom and proclaiming the gospel to every nation.

  10. Community Life Coram Deo — 1 Chronicles 12; 13:5-11; 17:1-15

    The Big Takeaway: Spirit-filled worship is always a bond of community united in adoration and praise before a holy, powerful Savior. How does your personal story reflect both the bond of praise and the confidence of God’s promise as we live and love day by day?

  11. Redeeming Peter, Part II — John 21:15-25

    08.02.2026 sermon

  12. Practice Heaven - 1 Thessalonians 5

    07.26.26 sermon

  13. Redeeming Peter — John 21:1-14

    07.19.26 sermon

  14. Paul before Agrippa — Acts 25:23-26:32

    The Big Takeaway: Jesus gives us what we most need so that we can share it with others. 1. A Living Hope 2. A New Purpose 3. A Patient Love

  15. Jesus and Thomas — John 20:24-31

    The Big Takeaway: Thomas' doubt about Jesus' resurrection wasn't a rejection of him but the sign of an aching faith that was hurting and longing to believe again. And Jesus, ever merciful toward is own, did not scold him for it. He drew near and gently gave Thomas exactly what his weary heart...

  16. One Needful Thing — Acts 8:1-6

    The Big Takeaway: When our world is deteriorating or declining, we tend to take ownership of the whole problem, or at least carry the anxiety that accompanies the problem. Thankfully, all the Lord asks of us is to be faithful to our calling in him, a calling for which he provides strength. And...

  17. One Joy — John 17:20-26

    The Big Takeaway: Jesus gave us glory, even his own glory (v. 22). Jesus' glory was tied to that "hour," to his death and crucifixion, to his gift of eternal life (17:1 ff.). How does the gift of his glory define you? Your joy is tied to that glory and the conscious embrace of all that it...

  18. Christ's Sanctification, Our Sanctification — John 17:6-19

    The Big Takeaway: Jesus' mission on earth was to consecrate himself (v. 9), meaning that he is preparing to die on the cross, so that we may be sanctified. Stated differently, our sanctification was Jesus' primary mission on earth.

  19. The Glory of the Cross! — John 17:1-5

    The Big Takeaway: Calvin stated that Jesus' prayer reveals the depths of the Savior's heart. This accurately describes John 17. By praying for his glorification (vs. 1-5), the sanctification of present believers (vs. 6-19), and the unity of future believers (vs. 20-26), Jesus' High Priestly…

    more

  20. The Disciple's Joy — John 16:16-33

    The Big Takeaway: The disciple's joy is directly related to both the method and the end that your Master designs. The promise of complete joy is yours! The journey is yours as well. Prize your Lord's wisdom, ways, and wishes!

  21. The Cost of Being Conformed to Christ — John 15:2

    The Big Takeaway: Discipline, trials, and affliction not only have the power to transform our lives, but they bind us to Christ, who was himself a man acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3), whose work was "made perfect" through suffering (Hebrews 2:10).

  22. Abiding in Jesus — John 15:1-11

    The Big Takeaway: Abiding in Jesus is the work of the Spirit that causes us to be united with Christ and receive all the blessings and privileges that come with this union. Believers, as a result of union with Christ, are called to bring glory to God by bearing fruit in season and out of season!

  23. The Unknown God, Part IV — John 16:4-15

    The Big Takeaway: The apostles reveal the Holy Spirit in a beautiful, powerful, and compelling way. He wants us not only to know him intellectually but also to know him experientially by communing with him. As we commune with the Spirit, we will find that he is our helper (John 14:16-17), teacher...

  24. The Unknown God, Part III — John 14:15-31

    The Big Takeaway: The apostles reveal the Holy Spirit in a beautiful, powerful, and compelling way.

He wants us not only to know him intellectually but also to know him experientially by communing with him. As we commune with the Spirit, we will find that he is our helper (John 14:16-17), teacher...

  26. The Unknown God — John 14:15-31

    The Big Takeaway: The apostles reveal the Holy Spirit in a beautiful, powerful, and compelling way. He wants us not only to know him intellectually but also to know him experientially by communing with him. As we commune with the Spirit, we will find that he is our helper (John 14:16-17), teacher...

  27. We Would See Jesus! — John 12:20-43

    The Big Takeaway: Some have eyes but do not see. You must process what glory actually is if you are going to see Jesus. Jesus is glorious beyond compare! There is no more majestic nor more powerful visage than the sight of Jesus in his glory! See, behold Jesus!

  28. The Resurrection Assures Us of Heaven! — John 13:36-14:7

    The Big Takeaway: At the heart of this passage is a powerful promise: "I go and prepare a place for you. I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also." This promise provides comfort and hope to the believer. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the proof that the...

  29. The Resurrection Delivers Us from Death and Hell — Luke 16:19-31

    The Big Takeaway: The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the answer to every terror in this parable. The rich man's suffering is real, his separation from God is real, and the finality of his situation is real. Yet, for those who are in Christ, this parable is not a word of condemnation, but a cause...

  30. The Movement of the Gospel — 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

    The Big Takeaway: When we are called by the gospel of God's grace, it powerfully changes us from the inside out. Those changes ripple out from us individually and corporately as we increasingly understand and live out the gospel. So our response to God's missional call is not motivated by guilt…

    more

  31. Nothing is Beneath Our Dignity — John 13:1-20

    The Big Takeaway: By washing the feet of his disciples, Jesus serves them as though he were a slave on the night before he dies the death of a slave. John describes the Lord’s service as love (v. 1) and quotes the Lord as saying, “you also should do just as I have done to you” (v. 15). In this…

    more

  32. The Anointed One — John 12:1-8

    The Big Takeaway: Jesus's pre-burial anointing demonstrates that Christ is supremely worthy — and the elect, transformed by grace, will recognize it. Mary's extravagant worship is not irrational; it is right reason, sanctified by the Spirit. The redeemed heart sees what Judas's corrupt heart…

    more

  33. Do You Believe This? Part II — John 11:28-44

    The Big Takeaway: Jesus' words to Martha (vv. 25-26) and the subsequent raising of Lazarus demonstrate that "in the person and work of Jesus, life is no longer bound by death and death no longer may willfully intrude on life" (Calvin). He alone is sovereign over physical and spiritual life as…

    more

  34. Do You Believe This? — John 11:1-27

    The Big Takeaway: Jesus' words to Martha (vv. 25-26) and the subsequent raising of Lazarusdemonstrate that "in the person and work of Jesus, life is no longer bound by death and deathno longer may willfully intrude on life" (Calvin). He alone is sovereign over physical and spirituallife as well…

    more

  35. The Father Loves Jesus — John 10:17-18

    The Takeaway: Many of you learned to sing “Jesus Loves Me” in your earliest years: “Jesus love me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong; they are weak, but he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me!” What a good way to affirm and provide security to little fearful children!…

    more

  36. "I am the Door" — John 10:1-10

    Big Takeaway: “I am the Door” — This imagery presents Jesus as the exclusive door to salvation. Those who enter through him receive not just forgiveness but an abundant, securelife in union with him. Jesus’ affirmation assures believers that those who truly belong tohim—who hear and follow his...

    1. What is spiritual blindness, and why is it an even more catastrophic condition than physical blindness? 2.

    1. What does this story teach you about sin and its consequences? What made the problem in this story an impossible situation to solve for Jesus? 2.

  45. The Servant Songs of Isaiah — The Servant Unleashed — Isaiah 49:1-14

    more
