Way Family Church Sermon Podcast

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 January 11, 2026 by Elder Rob Sena. What happens when God places a burden on your heart? Nehemiah 2 shows how prayer, planning, and faith lead us to arise and build, even when opposition comes.
