Episodes
-
Resurrection and the Life
Sometimes we imagine that believing in and following Jesus results in unending success and continual progress in every way with no more frustration, unhappy surprises, and failures. Although we receive audacious promises from Jesus, he never promised a pain-free life. In moments when our reality...
-
The Gate and Good Shepherd
We are the sheep in Jesus’ pasture. He is our Shepherd. But our Shepherd also became one of the sheep. In John 10, Jesus uses the image of the gate to fold or secure enclosure for sheep as well as a shepherd with the flock to explain his mission and our relationship with him. Dedicate some time...
-
Light of the World
Darkness lives in and often dominates our world. Its influence seeps into our soul, clouding our line of sight and perceptions. Jesus is the light that overcomes the darkness. We experience the power of his light throughout our lives, just as those who listened to him and saw him work in the…

Bread of Life
Jesus is the One who was, who is, and who always will be. In John’s Gospel, Jesus picked up the phrase used by God to introduce himself to Moses…”I Am.” Through this series, we want to discover how Jesus is the subject of history, not its object, and how Jesus is always more than enough for us....
-
Easy and Light
Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Yet when we look at what He actually asks us to do (don't worry, bless those who curse you, rejoice in suffering) it can feel anything but easy and light. The gap is not in His promise; it’s in how we have tried to close it. We cannot achieve...
-
Scripture
Spiritual maturity grows from a mind and heart shaped by the word of God. Meditating on Scripture is more than reading for information, it is dwelling on what God has said until it impacts the way we think and behave. Among the spiritual disciplines, this is the one that most directly places…
more -
Service
Today, we're considering the discipline of service and how it shapes the way we see both God and the people around us. Peter writes with urgency reminding us that the end is near, which is exactly why prayer, love, and hospitality can't wait for a more convenient season. He calls us to pray, to...
-
Prayer
Our prayer lives often reflect our culture's dilemma — frequent contact with God but a lack of true intimacy. The main issues in both our lives and society are spiritual, and genuine progress comes only when we pursue a relationship with God rather than merely seeking His answers. God longs for...
-
Community
Through practicing spiritual disciplines, we are transformed to become more like Jesus. Relationships with others that are centered around and motivated by Jesus most often provide the context for our life change. Being part of the body of Christ is the environment that Jesus initiated to guide…
more -
Worship
Every problem that we face—personal, social, economic, relational, even political—lies downstream from our spiritual lives. If we fail to make progress in spiritual maturity, we will struggle to solve any other problem area of life or culture. Through this series, we want to bring ourselves to…

Meeting at the Well
Jesus crossed boundaries to keep an appointment with an overlooked woman at a well who had searched for satisfaction and was still searching. Jesus crossed boundaries between heaven and earth to be the satisfaction for our deepest needs. He, not only, offers us the living water to quench our…
more -
Conversation at Night
Have you ever stumbled around in the dark looking for something—maybe for a light so you could see? The nighttime conversation Nicodemus had with Jesus presents a light to help all people see life from a new perspective. Jesus’ challenge to Nicodemus also challenges each one of us to see the…
more -
Wine, Coins, Signs
When Jesus entered our world, he began making everything new again. In John’s Gospel about Jesus, Jesus’ ministry begins with change. He announced the coming of a new age with his first miracle and his initial confrontation with religious leaders. Today, we are still part of the new creation work...
-
Come And See
In John's gospel, we explore how John reveals the essence and significance of Jesus' life for all humanity. Today, we will examine Andrew and Philip proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah and the ripple effect of their testimonies. Their example reminds us that we are not called to change hearts—we are...
-
Witness to the Lamb
Have you ever met someone so remarkable that you could not stop talking about them? Imagine that the person was more than remarkable—that was John the Baptist’s experience. At first, he did not know he would encounter God in the flesh, Jesus. The one who was, who is, and who changes everything.…
more -
In the Beginning
Everyone is searching for something…significance, identity, security, belonging, love. Sometimes we look for something, and we have difficulty articulating what that something is. John understands that search. He launches his Gospel by claiming that the deepest longings of every heart find their...
-
Follow Me
We all have a choice. We can build our lives on Jesus or follow our own path. Jesus reminds us that it’s not enough to simply hear His words. We must put them into practice. The storms of life will come for everyone, and those storms reveal the foundation we’ve been building on all along. Where…
more -
Fearless Love
Fear has a way of keeping us at a distance—from people, opportunities, and even the things God is calling us to do. In this message from our Love Does series, we'll see how fear can hold us back from loving like Jesus, and how experiencing His presence, love, and power gives us the courage to…
more -
Audacious Love
Have you ever felt like someone else was loved more than you — by a parent, a friend, or even by God? That feeling of comparison and competition can quietly distort how we see ourselves and how we relate to others. This week's study invites us to examine what God's Word says about the true nature...
-
Free to Fail
Everyone experiences failure yet we tend to fear and to avoid failing at any cost. Failure can cause us to feel embarrassed or vulnerable and—if we’re not careful—can even shape our identity. What if failure creates opportunities, you would otherwise miss? What if failure is part of God’s plan…
more -
Good News
As we start our summer series, we are looking at how Jesus’ love leads us to action. The blessings of God are not meant to be kept to ourselves but instead shared with everyone around us. We will look at two illustrations that Jesus gives in The Sermon On The Mount that will help guide us as we...
-
I Am Loved
Psalm 23 ends with a sure and certain declaration of truth just as it began with a powerful statement of faith. As we’ve journeyed through this prayer song together, we’ve surveyed not only the landscape for sheep but different seasons of life. In the final verse we find reassuring truth about…
more -
My Joy Overflows
Joy could be one of the most confusing aspects of God’s character and elusive aspects of a life of following Jesus. Sometimes we experience deep sorrow and disappointment, but we never need to lose our sense of joy. However, we also have an enemy who seems to tirelessly work to steal away our…
more -
I Will Not Fear
No one wants to walk through the darkest valley. In life, our Good Shepherd always leads us through those places. In those shadowed experiences of life, our fear comes alive but so can our faith. The dark valley paths of our life journey often help us learn more about ourselves and our God, as we...
-
He Guides Me
A good shepherd restores and renews sheep who have been cast down. Our Good Shepherd finds us and leads us on toward restoration through the moments of life when we’ve been cast down. Jesus’ plan for all things in this world is to restore everything that has been damaged or broken. We look to him...
-
He Leads Me
What is something we all need but never seem to have enough of? Peace. Running through the words of Psalm 23 is a deep seem of peacefulness. Whatever chaos may surround us, peace is always available to us. This weekend, we want to move toward peace, even if we are unable to leave our problems...
-
The Lord is My Shepherd
What uncertainty or even chaos do you feel in life? Psalm 23 returns our attention to the sure truths we can hold onto at every moment. This prayer song begins with the foundation of our relationship with the Lord. Let’s remember some of the truths that belong to us because the Lord is our good...
-
Living as Brothers and Sisters
Life is complicated. We juggle relationships across family, work, school, church, and everything in between, all while trying to grow, succeed, and find meaning. Tension builds externally through misunderstandings and competing priorities. Additionally, tension builds internally when we use…
more -
The Struggle is Real
Living out of God’s grace creates the opportunity for us to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit, but our desires often work against the Holy Spirit. Each day and every moment, we are presented with a choice to follow our sinful nature or to follow the Holy Spirit. One way leads toward death...
-
The New Math of Grace
Jesus has truly set us free, but we easily slip into the bondage of fear and insecurity or to being captives to our own appetites and desires. We want to avoid the dangers of losing our freedom or abusing our freedom. Let’s live free because Jesus has truly set us free by his grace! Support the show
-
Who Do You Trust?
Self-reliance, hard work, taking initiative—these are all positive traits that help us find success at work and in life. But what happens when we apply those traits to our relationship with God? Paul advances the argument of Galatians that as a gift of God’s grace we are made right with God by...
-
No Longer Slaves
At just the right time, God brought his Son into this world. At just the right time, God adopted you to become his child. Being God’s child brings gifts of freedom, but that freedom is always in danger of being lost. Together, we find encouragement to celebrate and enjoy our freedom as God’s...
-
Influence with Your Money
Growing up is part of life, but it’s never easy. The growing pains we experience on our journey from infancy to maturity in our physical, mental, emotional, and social lives are mirrored in our spiritual lives. Growing in our generosity and financial management represents a measurement of our...
-
Influence with Your Faith
Have you ever considered the impact you have? Each of us influences others every single day, whether we realize it or not. Your words, actions, attitudes, and choices create ripples that extend far beyond what you can see. Our influence can either help or hurt, shine a spotlight on Jesus or…
more -
Influence in Our Church
God designed us for real, relational connection with one another, and there is no technological substitute for that. While some isolation in life is obvious, like the loss of a spouse, health challenges, or family distance, there is another kind of isolation that is more subtle and dangerous. It...
-
Influence at Work
The world talks about leadership. Jesus talks about leadership. Same word. Entirely different way. If Jesus said “Not so with you” directly to your leadership style today, what would He be correcting? Support the show
-
It’s Not The Thought That Counts
Have you ever said you were going to do something but never followed through? It’s okay. We’ve all been there. It’s the thought that counts. But when it comes to our faith and how we love one another, it’s NOT the thought that counts. Aren’t you glad that God didn’t just think about loving you?…

Influence Your Family
While every family is unique, every person is profoundly shaped by our families. Whatever roles you have in a family—sibling, parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, child, spouse, or other—your influence may be more strongly felt among family members than any other part of your life. How are you...
-
Influence Yourself
Leadership is influence, and everyone has influence. To begin this year, we’re focusing on seven areas where we want to expand our influence. Your influence begins with most important and difficult person you will ever lead…yourself. This weekend, we can discover three statements to help you...
-
Simeon and Anna’s Song
We live between the kingdom that Jesus began and fully stepping into Jesus’ kingdom that is hasn’t come yet. Simeon was waiting to see God’s chosen one because God had promised him that before his death, he would see the deliverer. After losing her husband when she was young, Anna devoted the…
more -
The Angel's Song
While shepherds guarded their flocks, the angels’ song broke the quiet announcing that God’s light was shattering the darkness: “Glory to God and peace on earth!” That song echoes to all people and to us, pushing back against notes of hate, fear, and hopelessness that threaten to invade our…
more -
Mary's Song
God works in surprising ways. He only completes his perfect plan through imperfect realities and flawed people like you and me. The Christmas story reminds us of this principle. Mary, Jesus’ mother, recorded a praise hymn in response to God’s promise that still teaches us about how God keeps his...
-
A Good Ending
What a journey we’ve experienced through the story of Joseph: struggle and triumph, betrayal and blessing. Behind and beneath all of Joseph’s life, God was at work to faithfully keep his promises. Whatever twists and turns your life story includes, God will also always be faithful to you. As...
-
Blessed to be a Blessing
Joseph is about to be reunited with his family and is faced with a choice between bitterness and blessing. We see how Joseph uses the power and authority that he has been given to bless those who have hurt him the most. This is a countercultural idea but one that is very close to the heart of our...
-
Plot Twist
God specializes in plot twists - taking the most broken family situations and writing completely different endings through the power of sacrificial love. In Genesis 44-45, we witness perhaps the greatest plot twist in Scripture: a family torn apart by jealousy, deception, and betrayal for over...
-
Correction
God gently corrects his children to shape us into the people he wants us to become. Through our life experiences, God changes our hearts as we respond to his correction. Joseph’s father, brothers, and Joseph himself needed to change; and God patiently confronted them to help them grow. Together,...
-
Taking the Long View
We live in a time in which we all struggle to wait on God. With modern conveniences, waiting has become almost foreign to us. Are you in a season of waiting right now? Are you waiting for God for answers about healing, a relationship restoration, a job opportunity, or perhaps just clarity about...
-
The Comfort of Captivity
Often we look at life working in a linear, predictable manner. We function under the assumption that if we do good things, we get good results. Conversely, we assume that if we do bad things we get bad results. If you are a believer, you can easily apply similar logic to your spiritual life. Our...
-
A Work in Progress
Every person is a work-in-progress. Our character remains under construction and will not be finished until Jesus completes his work in us. In Genesis 38, we receive the benefit of peering into the private life of Joseph’s brother Judah. We see his shortcomings, and we discover the seeds of…
more -
A Bad Beginning
If God loves me, how could he let me hurt so deeply? Why should I keep trusting God when my life is such a mess? Questions like that hang over the story of Joseph’s life in the Book of Genesis. In Genesis 37, we find the bad beginning to Joseph’s story including a difficult family life, betrayal,...
