The LEMC Podcast

Does God care about the brokenness in our world? And does his love extend beyond the borders of the Church? Listen in as we learn a powerful lesson from a story about a big fish, and a hard heart (Jonah 1-4).

For many people, the character of God in the Old Testament feels different from the character of Jesus! Over the next few weeks, we are looking at stories in the Old Testament that reveal the unchanging, compelling, glorious character of God! Today we begin with this series core text: Exodus 34.

This week, Ashley Hibbard returns to help us wrestle with violence in the Old Testament, this time walking us through an example where God's Law doesn't seem, in any way, just!

Making Sense of Old Testament Violence, Q and A with Dr. Ashley Hibbard

What if the resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a story—but a reality that changes everything? In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul makes a bold claim: if Jesus hasn’t been raised, our faith is empty. But if He has been raised, then death is defeated, sin is forgiven, and hope is alive.This Easter, we’ll explore what’s really at stake—and what it means for our lives today. Because if the resurrection is true, it doesn’t just inspire us… it transforms how we live, how we face fear, and how we see our future.

This Sunday, we wrap up our series in Colossians by turning to Colossians 4:2–18. In these final words, Paul shifts from deep theology to everyday practice—inviting us into a life marked by prayer, intentional relationships, and gospel-centered living. We’ll explore what it looks like to stay devoted in prayer, live wisely among others, and recognize the powerful role each person plays in God’s mission. As Paul names and celebrates his ministry partners, we’re reminded that following Jesus is never a solo journey—we are called to live it out together.

This week we take a peak into the radical culture of Christian community: where peers become brothers, strangers become sisters, and family becomes a witness to heaven on earth. Join us for Colossians 3:12-4:1

Colossians: Jesus-Centered"! Art Versteeg will be preaching on Colossians 2:16-3:11

Special Guest Speaker Heidi Fleming walks through how to disciple our kids moment by moment on the go in everyday life. Heidi is the family pastor at Base Bloomingdale, and has deep passion for equipping parents to raise their kids for Christ.
