Episodes

  1. The Eighth Commandment: Receiving and Sharing God's Blessings

    We uncover the deeper implications of "do not steal" in our relationships, work, and hearts. Though biblical insights and real-life examples, this sermon challenges us to reject taking what isn't ours, to humbly receive God's gracious gifts, and to share them generously with others. Hosted on...

  2. Honor Your Father and Mother

    This week at The Table, we’re looking at the fifth commandment: Honor your father and mother. As young adults, this can feel complicated—especially if our relationships with our parents are strained, painful, or even absent. But this commandment still matters, and it challenges us to think about...

  3. Practicing Sabbath

    Sabbath is a core spiritual practice - a weekly rhythm designed by God for rest, worship, delight, and renewal. Typically, a 24-hour period, Sabbath is a day set apart for communion with God and joy in His creation. As such, it serves to reorient our lives around God’s presence and helps us to...

  4. How do we Take the Name of the Lord?

    The third commandment instructs us not to take the name of the Lord in vain. That begs the question, how should we take the name of the Lord? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  5. Unmasking Idols: Embracing the Second Commandment

    The sermon explores the Second Commandment, "You shall not make for yourself an idol," through biblical and modern examples. The Second Commandment is an invitation to experience God's everlasting love and grace, encouraging a commitment to worship Him above all else. Hosted on Acast. See...

  6. No Other Gods

    The 10 Commandments aren't about God keeping things from us, but God wanting abundant life for us! The first commandment states, "You shall have no other Gods besides me." In this sermon we talk about what it means to have a god. Not only do we want to acknowledge the prohibitive boundary that…

  7. Truth & Lies

    John is writing to warn the church about the spirit of the antichrist that is trying to lead people astray. His antidote is to believe the truth about God's love for his people, not the lies being told to them. Also, to be a person of truth means to love other believers well. To say you love God,...

  8. How Do You Know What You Know?

    You may have found yourself asking the question how do I know that I know God? In 1 John 2, we discover what it looks like to truly know God. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  9. Why Practice Confession?

    Confession should be a regular practice for followers of Jesus. It is a gift to be able to live in the light with our community! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  10. Breaking Down the Gospel

    A comprehensive exploration of the Gospel in four essential parts: creation, the fall, redemption, and restoration. As an action step, reflect on ways to recognize the Lord’s redemption actively working in your life throughout this week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  11. Character Matters

    We live in a day and age where everyone's "best self" is portrayed in the public eye (aka your image). Your character is who you actually are. What you do/how you act/what you think about when no one else is around is your character. Is your character one that is after God's heart? We dive into…

  12. Daniel and the Lion's Den

    This is an attempt to revisit some of the common children's stories from the Bible. In this case the story of Daniel and the lion's den is an invitation to: consider the pain of exile, imagine what it would look like to prosper in exile, and believe in the power of God to deliver us from...

  13. God Is For Our Enemies

    Loving our enemies is not natural. If we are being honest, most of us, like Jonah, deal with intolerance, legalism & self-righteousness towards our enemies instead. What if we truly believed God is for our enemies? He wants to bring them back into a relationship with him just as much as he wants…

    more
  14. Moses and the Burning Bush

    Stories like Moses and the burning bush are stories we once saw as children’s lullabies. For some of us they have become numb, and to others, they are confusing and don't know why they really matter to us. Although, if we sit in the power of the story, it maintains so much significance, teaching…

  15. How God Uses Relationships to Transform Our Soul

    Healthy people create healthy relationships. Strong Identity must come before intimacy. There is a healthy process in dating well. Requires time and intentionality. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  16. Parent Relationships

    How can we have healthy relationships with our parents now that we’re adults? Does honoring our parents still apply? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  17. Friendship

    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  18. The Heart of Christian Community - Acts 15:1-21

    This message is about the heart of Christian community. Namely the primacy of the gospel of grace through faith in Jesus and also the commitment of the earliest Christians to be one community marked by radical inclusivity and mutual submission to one another. Hosted on Acast. See…

  19. What Is Childlike Faith?

    What does it mean to enter the kingdom of heaven like a child? What did the ancient world think about children? Larry talks about the answers to these questions and how that should challenge how we live today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  20. Prayer

    Prayer is formational and relational. We should think intentionally about how we engage in prayer. Our prayer life should also grow and change with us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  21. On Who's Terms?

    At first glance, boundaries don't seem like a gift, but something being kept from us. What if we realized boundaries were a gift? What if we stopped trying to be children of God on our own terms, and surrendered to Jesus as our giver of life? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

  22. A Garden and A Girl

    The garden (working - tilling & keeping) is a gift and one of the ways order is brought into chaos on the earth. The girl is a gift and a way order comes into chaos, helping us understand how "not good" it is to be alone and the strength and beauty of complementarity. Hosted on Acast. See...

  23. The Origin Story

    How should we think about the beginning? The beginning teaches us about who God is and who God created us to be. It teaches us our posture as image bearers of God. It's important we think about the beginning well, because it affects how we read the rest of scripture and how we live. Hosted on...

  24. On This Rock

    What Jesus knew was a victory, Peter saw as a defeat. Jesus gave Peter great responsibility, but he thought he knew better than God and quickly became a stumbling block instead of a source of stability. When we, as humans, think we know better than God, we must be quick to confess. Sometimes...

  25. You Don't Have to Find Your Purpose

    Workism has been named the religion of millennials. Young adults in our country work more than ever before, taking fewer vacations than ever before. Our temptation is to find our purpose in our work. But as followers of Jesus, our purpose is not something to be found, it is assigned. Hosted on...

  26. Be a Driver, Not a Passenger

    There's a temptation to walk through this life as a passenger, instead of a driver. Although, we are made in the image of God, which means we have responsibility here on earth. How are we caring for the spaces we have been given? Where in your workplace, classroom, or neighborhood, can you take...

  27. Living Luxuriously

    Greed is a sin mentioned over and over again throughout scripture. It is a temptation so easy to fall into, but we have a choice to make. Are we going to live luxuriously here on earth, or are we going to follow after the self-giving generosity of Jesus, so that we can live luxuriously in…

  28. Jesus and Money

    What do we think of when we think of security? If we are being honest, our answers probably all pointed back to money. This only breeds a life of anxiety. Our security and trust should be in God, who will always abundantly provide for his children. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  33. God is Love - The Table

    Speaker: Sydney PflegerWe have a tendency to see God as either a judgmental god or a passive god. But what if we understood God as love, as we are taught in 1 John 4? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  34. The Bible is Not About You - The Table

    Speaker: Jonah FoxIt can be tempting to read the Bible like a disconnected collection of good sayings. Kind of like we are looking for divine chicken nuggets. But, the Bible is an epic story that isn't actually about us. It's about Jesus and his Kingdom. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...
