Episodes

Last Things First: The Last Word on New Creation | Meshach Kanyion
Revelation closes with a tale of two cities. Babylon — the city of human achievement — lies in a pile of dust and ashes. The New Jerusalem — the city of God — descends as a gift from God. The enduring vision of both calls all of God's people to arrange their lives in light of the end of both...
-
Last Things First: The Last Word on Judgement | Meshach Kanyion
Judgement is often mistaken for something horrible, punitive. But seen through the eyes of Jesus, it takes on a completely different picture. Revelation 15-18
-
Last Things First: The Last Word on Witness | Meshach Kanyion
In the Two Witnesses, we see a picture of how God’s people are meant to function in an ungodly world. Revelation 10 - 11
-
Last Things First: The Last Word on Worship | Meshach Kanyion
Worship has always been something that happens in the throne room of God, that we participate in here on earth. In Revelation we see a clear picture of how what happens in heaven impacts earth. Revelation 4&5
-
Last Things First: The Last Word on the Church | Meshach Kanyion
While the letters were for specific churches, the warnings and exhortations are important for churches of every age.
-
Last Things First: The Last Word on Jesus Christ | Meshach Kanyion
The vision of Jesus Christ in Revelation is different than that we have in the gospels. Both are true, one leads to the other. This teaches us something about the way of God and the kind of life we’re being ushered into. A life in which Christ is always with us. Revelation 1:9-20
-
Easter Message - This is the Lord's Doing and it is Marvelous! | Meshach Kanyion
The Resurrection is the most marvelous thing that has ever happened, but the human tendency to limit its power is all too prevalent. However, there is a way to allow God to constantly break through those limitations. Acts 10:34-43
-
A Prelude to Triumph | Meshach Kanyion
The anticipation of Jesus’s crowning as king is prophetic and exciting. We all know that the actual event ended in a surprising way. We can expect such turns in our lives with God, too. Luke 19:28-40
-
Gains & Losses: Mary's Devotion | Meshach Kanyion
Mary's devotion to Jesus and Judas's response teach us a valuable lesson on the necessity of worship that sometimes seems extravagant and, to some, foolish. John 12:1-8
-
Through Christ's POV | Meshach Kanyion
The temptation we constantly face is to view the world, including ourselves, through a human POV. While this provides us good data, it limits our ability to see things as they are; that is, through a divine POV. Passages: 2 Cor. 5:16-21 & Luke 15:1-3;11b-32
-
Two Ways to Live: Repent or Perish | Meshach Kanyion
We often think of perishing as something that will happen to some people in some eternal reality, but perishing is a way of life that is the antithesis of repentance. Luke 13:1-9
-
God's Covenant With Abram | Meshach Kanyion
God made a promise to Abram and gave him a sign as proof that he would fulfill his word. In Jesus Christ he has done the same with us. Genesis 15:1-18
-
Tempted to Turn - Luke 4:1-13 | Meshach Kanyion
The beginning of Jesus’ ministry points back to Israel’s testing in the wilderness, and forward to ours. He shows us how to be the kinds of people who will overcome the enemy by calling out to God.
-
Joseph: Family Reunion | Michelle Shiparski
Michelle Shiparski concludes the Joseph series with a message on forgiveness and reconciliation Genesis 41:53-57; 42:1-7
-
Joseph: Appointed by God | Meshach Kanyion
As Joseph bides his time faithfully, seemingly never going to get out of prison, opportunity presents itself. We never know when God will open a door for us, therefore, we must serve faithfully and patiently. Then, when it is opportune, serve faithfully there, too. Genesis 41
-
Joseph: Bloom Where You're Planted | Meshach Kanyion
Joseph is thrown in jail on false accusations, but God is still with him. He teaches us to not dwell in the pit even if it’s our dwelling place, but to set our hearts on what God is doing there, and make ourselves available to him. Genesis 40
-
Joseph: Abandoned Cloaks, Yet Covered by God | Meshach Kanyion
Things are going well, that’s when the evil one typically likes to strike. Joseph teaches us what constant vigilance looks like. He is not living unto Potiphar, or even himself; he is living unto God. This helps him remain faithful. Genesis 39:6b-23
-
Joseph: For the Good Times | Dean Feldmeyer
Sometimes those good and easy times are the times when we need to be especially attentive to our relationships -- with God, with our families, with our fellow Christians -- lest we drift apart. Genesis 39:1-6a
-
Joseph: Here Comes the Dreamer | Meshach Kanyion
In this chapter we are introduced to Joseph -- a young man who was destined for great things, but wasn't yet suited for them. He was like a kid wearing his dad's suit. His blunderings with his brothers landed him in hot water, but God's plan cannot be thwarted by us or others. Genesis 37
-
The Baptism of Our Lord | Meshach Kanyion
Why was Jesus baptized? This is an important question with serious soteriological implications. Listen as pastor Meshach shares the reason, and the Good News inherent in it. Luke 3:15-22
-
The Prolegomena of John | Meshach Kanyion
We all live according to certain principles. In doing so we hope our lives will harmonize and flourish. But John comes and says that the chief organizing principle of our lives is not an impersonal principle, but a person. The Logos, Jesus Christ. John 1:1-18
-
Mary's Song | Meshach Kanyion
Mary's song of praise reveals the glorious nature of God to us. It shows us what his salvation is like.
-
The Word of God Came to John | Meshach Kanyion
Earthly power and prestige is attractive to us. To God, not so much. His ways are different, and in the difference we learn a lesson on how to remain prepared to encounter him. Luke 3:1-6
-
The Unforeseeable Future | Regan Smither
When we think of Advent, we think of baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the Wise Men. However, Advent is much more than just the manger scene. It’s the start of Jesus’ whole ministry. As we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus, we have the opportunity to reflect on the life and ministry…

Not From Around Here | Meshach Kanyion
As we celebrate Christ the King Sunday we should reflect on these questions: What does it mean for us that Jesus's kingdom is not of this world? And how does the example of Jesus teach us to live in response to Truth? John 18:33-37
-
A Real Page Turner - The Treasure and the Pearl | Meshach Kanyion
The Kingdom of Heaven is like the best thing you could ever find. As such, our response should be to give everything for it. When that is our response, it's a sign that we've grasped the reality of the Kingdom and discipleship to Jesus.
-
A Real Page Turner - The Great Banquet | Meshach Kanyion
Excuses, excuses, excuses. How many temporal things keep us from our commitments to God? Luke 14:15-24
-
A Real Page-Turner - The Rich Man and Lazarus | Bruce Batchelor-Glader
Today’s parable is the story of a rich man and a poor man and the great separation that exists between them. Jesus tells this parable to the Pharisees as a way to explain the Kingdom of God. We do not know their response; the Bible doesn’t say. Let’s spend a few moments this morning to think…

A Real Page-Turner - That's Not Fair! | Michelle Shiparski
Jesus always had a purpose when He taught a parable and because of two questions (Who can be saved? and What will the reward be for us? Mt. 19: 25 & 27), Jesus tells the parable of the Laborers. He wants us to understand that no one can earn God’s gift of salvation. He decides how to reward each…

-
Stewards of God's Grace | Meshach Kanyion
"The end of all things is near," said Peter... around 2,000 years ago. How are we to live as expectant people, who hope in Christ and his return, knowing that the immediacy of his return may not be what the early Christians thought it might be? Scripture: 1 Peter 4:7-11
-
Reason for Hope | Meshach Kanyion
Hope is not just a sanctified version of optimism. As we've seen thus far, it is rooted in what Christ has secured for us through his resurrection. We are called to live from that reality, and testify to it when it is opportune. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:1-17
-
God's Royal Priesthood | Meshach Kanyion
Jesus was a stone rejected by humans, but chosen by God. In the same way, God has chosen his people to be his possession to mediate his presence in the world. It may mean rejection, as it did for Jesus, but the end of it is salvation and glory, as it was for Jesus. 1 Peter 2:1-12
-
A Peculiar People: Called to be Holy | Kevin Jobe
God's command to "Be holy as he is holy," seems laden with impossibilities. Yet it appears to us time and time again in the pages of scripture. Listen as Kevin Jobe tells us what it means and how we can become what God commands.
-
A Peculiar People: Born to a Living Hope | Meshach Kanyion
Through the Resurrection of Jesus we have become people of real hope, with a superbly bright future. In light of this we are to face the present suffering with faith, never losing sight of Jesus, who also suffered on our behalf. 1 Peter 1:1-12
-
The Faith Hall of Fame | Meshach Kanyion

-
Who is This Man? | Meshach Kanyion
Jesus displays a kind of faith that we are called to inspire to. His faith is one that trusts that God will see him safely through a storm; therefore he rests. Ours is like the disciples: frantic, doubting, fearful. Both reveal the reality upon which we are standing. If we would be more like…

Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus part 2 | Karen Crawford
Corinthians chapter 5 continues the message that Paul was offering to the people of Corinth, from last week’s message. Scripture was originally written without chapter or verse divisions, so Paul's thoughts flow without pause from the end of chapter 4 into today’s reading. Paul is being honest…

Fix Your Eyes Upon Jesus part 1 | Karen Crawford
It is common for Christians to think about resurrection mostly at Easter, celebrating Jesus’ victory over death two thousand years ago, or at funerals, embracing the promised future that awaits our departed loved ones. While such thinking is appropriate, 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1 calls us to…
