Way Family Church Sermon Podcast

Elder Rob Sena continues our study through Hebrews 5, focusing on Jesus as our perfect and eternal High Priest and challenging us to grow in spiritual maturity through God’s Word.

Are you truly resting in what Jesus has already done? In Hebrews 4, Elder Rob Sena challenges us to examine what keeps us from entering God’s rest. We can become so focused on rules, works, and trying to be “good enough” that we forget the work of salvation is already finished through Christ. Looking at Israel’s failure to trust God, the finished work of Jesus, and the promise of eternal rest, we’re reminded that God isn’t asking us to earn His promises, He’s asking us to trust Him. If you’re weary, burdened, or striving to do it all on your own, this message is a reminder: the work is finished. Rest in Jesus.

Join Elder Rob Sena as we walk through Hebrews 3 and are reminded that Jesus is greater than Moses. Believe God, trust His Word, follow Jesus closely, and don’t harden your heart. We are called to encourage one another and let our lives reflect what we believe.

What does it mean that Jesus became fully human? Hebrews 2:9–18 reveals the incredible answer: God came down to us so that we could be lifted up. In this message, we look at Jesus as the last Adam, the power of our salvation, the One who disarmed Satan and defeated death, and our sympathetic High Priest who understands our suffering and is able to help us in our weakness. Jesus didn’t stay distant from our pain, He entered into it, conquered it, and made a way for us to be brought near to God.

In this message, Elder Rob Sena walks through Hebrews 2:1–9, reminding us of the importance of staying focused on Christ and not drifting away through distraction or complacency. As we hear God's Word, we're called not only to listen but to respond in faith, applying it to our daily lives. Discover the hope of the gospel, the greatness of Jesus, and the encouragement to live out what we believe.

In a world fascinated by spiritual beings and heavenly mysteries, the book of Hebrews points us back to the One who is above them all, Jesus Christ. In Hebrews 1:4–14, Elder Rob Sena teaches that Jesus is greater than the angels. Angels are created beings who serve God’s purposes, but Jesus is the eternal Son of God. His throne is forever, His authority is unmatched, and He alone is worthy of our worship. As we study this passage, we are reminded to keep our focus anchored in Christ, not in created things, but in the Creator Himself.

Who is Jesus? Hebrews 1 gives us a breathtaking answer: He is God's final Word to humanity, the radiance of His glory, the exact imprint of His nature, and the King who reigns forever. Join us as we discover why Jesus is greater than every prophet, every angel, and every other name. Scripture: Hebrews 1:1–14

In Jonah 4, Elder Rob Sena explores Jonah’s anger over God’s mercy toward Nineveh and reveals how the story exposes our own hearts. As God teaches Jonah through the plant, the worm, and the wind, we’re reminded that He is perfectly just and perfectly merciful. Ultimately, this passage points us to Jesus Christ, who reveals the Father and offers forgiveness and hope through the gospel.

Sunday July 3rd, 2026 by Elder Rob Sena. When God called Jonah a second time, Jonah obeyed and an entire city was confronted with God's mercy. In this message from Jonah 3, we see the power of God's Word, the necessity of repentance, and the incredible compassion of a God who delights in showing mercy to those who turn to Him. As Nineveh believed God's warning and humbled themselves before Him, we are reminded that no one is beyond God's grace and that genuine faith always leads to a transformed life. Join us as we explore this remarkable account of God's patience, justice, and mercy, and what it means for us today.

When Jonah finds himself at rock bottom, he discovers that God's grace reaches even there. Join us as Elder Rob Sena walks through Jonah 1:17–2:10 and the powerful truth that salvation belongs to the Lord.

God sent a storm to pursue Jonah, but the storm wasn't just about judgment, it was about grace. In this message, Elder Rob Sena explores how spiritual apathy, disobedience, and a compromised witness can impact those around us, while highlighting God's relentless pursuit of His people.

What happens when God calls you somewhere you don't want to go? In Jonah 1:1–4, we see a prophet who knew God's voice but chose to run in the opposite direction. Through Jonah's story, Elder Rob Sena explores God's will, God's love, and the reality that we can never outrun His presence. Learn how obedience impacts not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us, and discover why God's correction is a sign of His love. Join us as we examine the opening verses of Jonah and consider the question we all must answer: Are you running to God, or running from Him?

In Colossians 4:2–18, Elder Rob Sena challenges us to live out our faith through four simple but powerful actions: pray, walk, speak, and send. This message explores the importance of persistent prayer, living a life that reflects Christ, speaking with grace and truth, and faithfully serving in the work God has called us to. As Paul closes his letter to the Colossians, we're reminded that following Jesus is more than belief, it's a daily lifestyle that impacts how we relate to God, others, and the mission of the gospel.

What does it mean to be devoted to prayer? In this sermon from Romans 12:9–13, Barnabas Olsen encourages believers to pray persistently, pray intentionally, and trust that God works through the prayers of His people. Discover practical patterns for prayer, the importance of praying both privately and together, and how a faithful prayer life deepens our relationship with God.

Join us as Elder Rob Sena teaches through Colossians 3:18–4:1 and what it means to build our homes and lives on the solid foundation of God’s Word. Looking at marriage, parenting, work, and daily living through a biblical lens, this message points us back to Christ as our foundation and reminds us that the goal is not perfection, but direction. Are you building on the Rock or on the sand?

Elder Rob Sena teaches through Colossians 3:1-17, encouraging believers to set their minds on Christ, put off the old self and pursue spiritual maturity for the glory of God.

This message unpacks Epistle to the Colossians 2:11-15, highlighting the believer's spiritual transformation, the theological meaning of baptism as union with Christ, and the cross where our record of debt is canceled and Christ triumphs over every power. 

A message from Colossians 1:9–29 reminding us that we already have everything we need in the gospel. As we grow in knowing God, we learn our identity in Christ, walk in His will, and rest in the finished work of Jesus, no added striving, just “Jesus + nothing."

In Colossians 1:1–8, Paul calls the church back to what matters most—Jesus. When faith gets mixed with distractions, rules, and false ideas, the Gospel brings us back to truth. This episode is a reminder that you are saved by grace, called with purpose, and meant to live out your faith boldly. Refocus, stand firm in Christ, and let your life bear fruit.

In this powerful message from Elder Rob Sena, we walk through John 20:1–10 and 1 Corinthians 15:12–28 to uncover the life-changing truth of the resurrection. What if the resurrection never happened? Paul makes it clear, without it, our faith would be empty, truth would be meaningless, and hope would be lost. But because Jesus rose from the grave, everything changes. Sin no longer has the final say, evil does not win, and we are no longer bound, we have the power to choose a new life through Him. This message reminds us that the Bible is not just a story, but one unified truth pointing to Jesus, from beginning to resurrection. And through His victory, we are given not only salvation, but freedom, purpose, and lasting hope. Listen in and be encouraged by the truth that the work is finished—and new life is available to all who believe.

Nehemiah 13 is a wake-up call to confront compromise, restore what's been neglected and return to God with intentionality.

Elder Rob Sena teaches through Book of Nehemiah chapter 10, comparing a military oath to the kind of wholehearted devotion God calls His people to. As the Israelites renew their covenant, we’re reminded that true commitment to God touches every area of life, our relationships, our worship, and even how we steward what He provides.

In this message from Nehemiah 9, Elder Rob Sena walks us through Israel’s cycle of rebellion, repentance, and restoration. We’re reminded that God is faithful even when we are not, that His mercies are new every morning, and that the greatest blessing He gives us is Himself. When life is chaotic we cling to the cross—but when it’s calm, we tend to drift. This sermon calls us back to humility, confession, and full surrender to Jesus, trusting that God is always ready to pardon and restore.

The walls were rebuilt, but the people still needed spiritual renewal. In Nehemiah 8, the Word of God is read clearly and explained carefully so the people can understand it. In this message, Elder Rob Sena walks us through how true renewal begins when we move beyond simply hearing Scripture and grow in truly understanding it.

When the walls were complete in Nehemiah 7, the focus shifted from construction to consecration. This sermon calls us to move past comfort, enter God’s presence through worship, and allow Him to rebuild our hearts, not just our circumstances.

Sunday, February 8th 2026 by Elder Rob Sena. Not every opportunity is from God, and not every spiritual voice speaks truth. Drawing from Nehemiah, this sermon explores how discernment helps us avoid distraction and stay faithful to our calling.
