Perimeter Church Podcast

In week two of our Work in Progress series, Ryan Brown explores how God uses our everyday work as a vital part of our discipleship. Looking at Paul's words in Colossians, we discover that following Jesus is not confined to Sundays or small groups—it shapes how we live, serve, and relate to others wherever God has placed us. Our work is both a mission field and a means of spiritual growth.

In the opening message of our Work in Progress series, Jeff Norris explores God's design for work from Genesis to Revelation. Far more than a way to earn a living, work is a gift from God and a vital part of His purpose for humanity. Discover how every vocation, role, and season of life can be used to glorify God and participate in His mission for the world.

Suffering is unavoidable, but it doesn’t have to be unspoken. Look at three ways we approach suffering as Christians—with naive optimism, detached stocism, or faithful realism.

James calls Christians to humble, active obedience, resist the world, draw near to God, and receive His grace.

Through the story of the rich young ruler, we’re reminded that lasting change doesn’t come from trying harder, but from turning away from our own efforts and resting fully in Jesus—where confession leads to freedom, and repentance becomes the pathway to real joy.

Discover why Christ’s resurrection defeats death, secures hope, and calls us to faith.

This Easter sunrise sermon reveals three dimensions of God's love displayed in the resurrection.

Romans 3:21-31 emphasizes faith in Christ as our only true rock of righteousness and salvation. Anchor your life to Jesus, the only true righteousness; justified by faith, not by works.

Examine Romans 2:12-29, urging us to trust Christ for salvation, beyond law or heritage, focusing on heart transformation.

In Ezekiel’s vision, a small stream flowing from the temple becomes a mighty river that brings life to the dead and healing to the nations. In this message, Chris Kam, Senior Pastor of Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) in Malaysia, invites us to see that mission begins in the heart of God—and that the Church is called to step in and go deeper. As we move from ankle-deep to fully surrendered, we discover that we are not meant to be reservoirs, but rivers—praying, giving, sending, and living as everyday participants in God’s global mission.

A sobering look at idolatry's cost and God's judgment when we exchange His truth for lies. God is good, we can trust Him, and His guidance for us leads to freedom and flourishing.

In Romans 1, Paul confronts the sobering reality of God’s wrath and humanity’s tendency to suppress the truth, exchange God’s glory for lesser things, and ultimately worship what we were never meant to serve. In this message, Jeff Norris unpacks the seriousness of our unrighteousness—and why we are truly without excuse before a holy God. Yet the story doesn’t end there. The bad news is worse than we think, but the good news of God’s righteousness in Christ is better than we could ever imagine.

In the opening message of Romans, Dr. Bryan Chapell unpacks Paul’s bold declaration: “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” From Romans 1:1–17, we see the power of the gospel to save, the proof of its promises fulfilled in Christ, and the purpose of revealing God’s righteousness to all who believe.

In this message, Eric Ryan teaches that Christian transformation flows from our union with Christ, not from self-effort or moral resolve. Drawing from Romans 6 and 7, he names the common frustration believers feel when they desire obedience yet continue to struggle with sin. Ezekiel 36 provides the promise that God fulfills in Christ: a new heart, a new Spirit, and new desires. Because believers are united with Christ in his death and resurrection, sin no longer has dominion over them. Growth still requires discipline, but that discipline flows out of grace, not fear or earning. God’s purpose is not merely forgiveness, but transformation — shaping believers day by day into the likeness of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In this message, we are reminded that the Christian life is not something we grow into through effort alone, but something we grow from our union with Christ. Rooted in Romans 6, the sermon emphasizes that believers are not merely forgiven sinners trying to improve, but people who have been united with Jesus in His death and resurrection. Because of this union, sin no longer defines or rules us, and new life is already at work within us.

Discover the profound doctrine of union with Christ, offering true rest, freedom, and intimacy with God.

Jimmy Kim's message from 2 Kings 5 invites us to rediscover the unexpected and transforming grace of God.  Through the story of Naaman—a powerful general healed not by status or bargaining, but by humble obedience—we see that God’s grace cannot be earned, only received. Jimmy Kim reminds us that God often speaks through unlikely people and ordinary moments, calling us to listen, remember His sovereignty, and respond in worship. In every season—mountaintop or valley—His grace saves, sustains, and makes all things new.
