Our guest speaker Ben Spalink  talks through Psalm 3. The prayer God truly appreciates is when we bring our total selves - the good, the bad and the ugly. God even welcomes us to bring our fear. Prayer can be a powerful means by which we strengthen our relationship with God, anchor ourselves in his grace and find power to overcome in the midst of crippling anxiety-inducing circumstances. We’ll learn from David how he found prayer to be a source of support and confidence in God.Support the show

In Psalm 16, David portrays for us through song the beautiful reality of community with God. David shares of the blessings of this personal relationship that flourishes in prayer.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our series, Praying Through the Psalms. Pastor Stan walks us through Psalm 40.Support the show

For many of us the last few years have been disorienting, spiritually trying, culturally shifting. Israel went through times like this as well. In fact, some of those times were even worse, and God has preserved a record for our guidance. Psalm 137 offers an unfiltered and guttural response to the atrocity of shifting paradigms. The psalmist was not perfect, and neither is his response. We can learn from him, nonetheless. Unfortunately, his praise of God is contingent on blessing, it exalts the wrong things, and it takes joy in God's cursing rather than his blessing. Turning this approach to worship on its head offers us a way forward when we find ourselves in unfamiliar and disorienting times. Our guest pastor Joshua preaches on Psalm 137.Support the show

This Sunday we’re beginning our summer sermon series, “Praying through the Psalms”! Jordan will be kicking us off by looking at Psalm 27. “This Psalm of David contains some of my favorite verses found in the book of Psalms. But if we look at the full context of the song, we see that David is not in a good place; he has enemies seeking his life. This may be difficult for us to relate to. As we learn to pray Psalm 27, we'll see the Psalmist wants us to shift our focus away from our problems and on to the Lord.”Support the show

This Sunday we continue our series "Surprised by Jesus," taking a look at Jesus calling Matthew, a tax collector, and choosing to eat with tax collectors and sinners, the most despised in the Jewish community. Rather than the severity and judgment we might expect from a sovereign God, we see Jesus running to those who are broken and needy even while they are still sinners.Support the show

With so many in our world attempting to uphold preconceived ideas of who Jesus is based off of poor theology, skeptical scholarship, or just a lack of reading the Bible, this Sunday we'll investigate one specific claim Jesus made about himself.

Doubts. We all have them. While it’s easy to keep doubts to ourselves, use them to push us away God or even feel ashamed for having them, Jesus invites us to not only have doubts, but to bring them to Him. He is not afraid of our questions or frustrations. This Sunday we begin our new series, Surprised by Jesus, taking a look at preconceived ideas we might have about Jesus and how he not only confronts them but flips them on their head.

Join us as we unpack why this is so challenging for us and how we can better love others in a counter cultural waySupport the show

As Christ followers, it is our job to be Jesus to the world. Our speech, our actions, our relationships, what we post, how we spend our time and our money all say things about what being a follower of Jesus looks like. As God’s representation on the earth, what statement are we making with our lives?  Is it authentic?  Is it  real?  Is it Christ-like? In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls us to live an elevated life – a life of freedom above and beyond the rituals and requirements of the law.  Part of this will re-define the idea of authenticity.  Jesus is essentially calling us to a life of #keepinitrealSupport the show

This Sunday we continue our Upside Down series studying the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Guest pastor Bryant Parsons walks us through Jesus’ instructions on anger, murder, and reconciliation.

The whole world trends toward the logic of moral purity — the good deserve good things, and the bad deserve to be punished.

This Sunday we take a look at the practice of breaking bread together as a community when we partake of the Lord’s Supper. Jesus, before his crucifixion, has a final Passover meal with His disciples. This Jewish meal took on new meaning when Jesus declared that the bread and wine was symbolic of his broken body and blood. Jesus would instruct his disciples to carry out the practice of this meal often as a reminder of Jesus’ death, resurrection and return. Support the show

We continue our series, Gathering Together, taking a look at the practices of the church. For this sermon, we will take a look at the importance of the corporate gathering, specifically on Sundays.

A recent Pew study in 2019 showed that attendance at church on Sunday is at an all time low, yet scripture calls us not to neglect the meeting together.Support the show

This Sunday, we come to the last characteristic of the fruit of the Spirit, self-control. We live in a culture that celebrates one’s identity through overindulgence and giving into whatever desires we have. Yet, scripture tells us that to be full of the Holy Spirit is to be a people of self-control. We tend to think that means denying ourselves of all pleasure and just saying “No!” through sheer will power. The Apostle Paul invites us to see how biblical self-control is more than just will power, but a disciplined life rooted in a healthy relationship with Jesus Christ.Support the show
