The Table Podcast
by The Table Community Church
Thank you for checking out our community podcast! Every Sunday we gather around the tables to explore faith, share stories, and grow together. Our hope is that this podcast helps you catch up on our Sunday teachings (if you are a part of the community and missed a gathering) or to give you a sneak peek into the life of our community. At the heart of The Table is the desire to create the space for people to grow in and explore the way of Jesus. We make room for doubt, questions, and commit to faithfully teaching the Scriptures.
Episodes
-
Saints in the Valley | Week Three | Kingdom Values

-
Saints in the Valley | Week Two | Kingdom Vision
What happens when the fire of vision burns out? In this message from our series on what it means to be the people of God right here, right now, we look at Matthew 6:33, imagining together what it looks like to tend the vision fire of the Kingdom of God.
-
Saints in the Valley | Week One | Mission

The Sacraments | Week One | Eucharist | David Beavis
Is communion just a symbol, or something more? In week one of "The Sacraments," we explore how the Eucharist re-enacts the good news story.
-
Praying the Psalms | Psalm 150 | A Crescendo of Praise
Why praise God? Is God so insecure and narcissistic that he demands our praise? What if there was more to praise than we realize? In the final message of our "Praying the Psalms" series, we land on Psalm 150 — a crescendo call for all of creation to praise God.
-
Praying the Psalms | Psalm 137 | AJ Handy
What happens when everything that was known is stripped away? Is it possible to worship God in exile? In this sermon, AJ Handy revisits Psalm 137. We enter into the context of the story surrounding Psalm 137 to ask ourselves, "Can we worship God when what is known is stripped away?"
-
One-Off Pastoral Word | Praying for Belgrade High School
In light of the school year starting, we took time as a community to walk the halls of the school we meet in to pray for the students - that students would come to know Jesus, that there would be blessing for the school, and the schemes of the enemy would be rendered powerless.
-

-
Praying the Psalms | The Nations (Psalm 67) | David Beavis
This Sunday, we had our friend Jordan Fehlen, who serves as a missionary in Graz, Austria, visit us and share stories. We then explored Psalm 67 as a prayer we can pray on behalf of the nations of the world - that all peoples would be gathered into God's family and sing the praises of God.
-
Praying the Psalms | Psalm 71 | Mark Archilla
In this message, Pastor Mark Archilla walks us through what Psalm 71 can teach us about what a faith that lasts looks like.
-
Praying the Psalms | Vengeance (Psalm 137) | David Beavis
The human desire for vengeance is an innately human desire. But what are we to do with that desire? Do we take matters into our own hands? Do we ignore it? In looking at Psalm 137 with the infamously dark line at the end ("Happy is he who takes your little ones and dashes them against the…

Praying the Psalms | Week Two | Creation | David Beavis
How are we to relate to the created order as disciples of Jesus? In this sermon, we explore how Psalm 104 can guide us in engaging with the natural world with delight, care, and worship of the Creator.
-
Praying the Psalms | Week One | Praying your Pain | David Beavis
We often grow up believing that if we just "do the right things," God will reward us with a predictable, trouble-free life. But what happens when that formula breaks? In this sermon, we kick off our new series, Praying the Psalms, by looking at Psalm 22. If you’ve ever felt like God was distant,...
-
A Rule of Life for our Chaotic, Digital World | David Beavis
We live in a time of great technological advancement. And this is good! But what we often forget is that these devices can, if we are not careful, form us into the kind of people we do not want to be. This message is an invitation to consider how we are being shaped by our devices, and what we...
-
The Ascension | David Beavis
The ascension of Jesus is often overlooked. But it is a deeply significant part of the story of God and our faith. Why does the ascension matter? And what does it have to do with our lives right here, right now?
-
Ephesians | Week Thirteen | Pastor David Beavis
What do we think of when it comes to the topic of Spiritual Warfare? Many images come to mind inspired by movies like The Exorcist. But what if this warfare we are caught in the middle of - and called to be engaged in - more sneaky and covert? In this final message of our Ephesians series, we…
more -
Ephesians | Week Twelve | Pastor David Beavis
Ephesians 5:22-6:9 feels jarring in our modern-day context. But in the ancient world, it was jarring but for different reasons. When we place Paul's household codes alongside the Roman household codes, we see some surprising New Creation reversals.
-
Ephesians | Week Eleven | Pastor David Beavis
The deception of duplicity is simple: true freedom is living a double life. You can project a particular version of yourself, but live a double life in private. What if duplicity is actually slavery, and inside-out congruence, learned from discipleship to Jesus, is the true freedom we desire? In...
-
Ephesians | Week Ten | Pastor Mark Archilla
We continue on with our exploration of the story of Ephesians as Pastor Mark Archilla walks us through Ephesians 4:25-5:5.

-
Ephesians | Week Nine | Pastor David Beavis
What does it mean to "be yourself"? Is that really what we should aim for? What does it look like for us to be more fully ourselves in the likeness of Jesus? In this teaching on Ephesians 4:17-25, we walk us through these questions and imagine together who we are, who God is calling us to be, and...
-
Ephesians | Week Eight | Pastor David Beavis

What's at the heart of the Scriptures? In this Advent message on love, we explore Jesus' conversation with a scribe in Mark 12:28-34 about the greatest commandment. We discuss why loving God and loving others are inseparably connected, and how easy it is to lose sight of this central truth—even...
-
Advent 2025 | Joy | Rebecca Vondra
In this Sunday's reflection on the theme of Joy, Rebecca Vondra guides us toward the joy God offers that has nothing to do with our prepackaged, for-sale, battery-operated, shallow attempt to self-medicate our way through the bitter months of winter in a harsh, unrelenting world. Rather, in the...
-

-
Kingdom Economics | Week Two | David Beavis
What would it look like if a community actually lived out radical generosity together? In this message from Acts 4:32-37, we explore the early church's revolutionary economic practice—a community where no one claimed possessions as their own, needs were met, and unity transcended social class.

This is the concluding message for our teaching series on the Dwelling Place of God. In this final message, we look at the river in the Garden of Eden, the river flowing out of the Temple of God in Ezekiel's vision (Ezekiel 47), and the river in Revelation 22:1-4.
-
Dwelling | Week Five | David Beavis
Our identity drives our behavior. And as relational beings, we look to our group to find a sense of identity and how to behave in light of that identity. Paul tells the followers of Jesus in Corinth that they are "the temple of the living God." What are the implications for that identity? In this...
-
One-Off Sermon | The God who Listens | Mark Archilla
In this one-off sermon, Pastor Mark Archilla shares his heart with The Table about the longing we all feel to be heard, and the reality that our God is a God who listens. This is most manifestly displayed in the incarnation of God in Jesus. God listens with skin. He hears our pain and feels our...
-
Dwelling | Week Three | David Beavis
God creates everything good and in harmony with everything else. But things go off the rails when the humans listen to the voice of the serpent, and not the voice of God. Shame enters the story. And it remains with us.
-
Dwelling | Week Two | David Beavis
Is the creation story of Genesis One and Two widely misunderstood? What if there's more going on than simply "How and when everything was made?" What if this has more to do with God creating a dwelling place - a temple - with humanity who are to be priests in God's sacred space? What do this tell...
-
Dwelling | Week One | David Beavis
We are in a new teaching series looking at the theme of God dwelling with humanity, and our longing for our true home in the presence of God. This first week, Pastor David Beavis starts at the end - Revelation 21:1-8.
