MP3•Головна епізоду

Mark 14 records the last moments of Jesus’ time with the disciples. As they celebrate the Passover, Jesus is drawing God’s original covenant with Israel forward to establish something new—something that the disciples and his followers will be able to return to understand their place in the Kingdom.

03.02.25 - Good Dirt 28:57

2 дні тому28:57

28:57

Today we look at the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13. Jesus challenges those he is speaking to and his disciples to be people who make their lives good dirt, where the Kingdom of Heaven can take root and grow. May those who have eyes and ears listen and hear!

02.23.25 - Growing Fruit 28:20

9 днів тому28:20

28:20

Growing fruit in the garden is a process. Growing spiritual fruit in our lives is much the same. It requires God’s pruning action, and our intentional remaining in Christ. It is a shaping of our character more than our behavior. It is not necessarily comfortable, but it is always beneficial.

02.16.25 - Make Every Effort 33:39

16 днів тому33:39

33:39

We are constantly growing as soon as we are born. We live in a world that calls us to grow for ourselves. Today we look at 1 and 2 Peter to see that we are called to something more. May we be encouraged to live for God and make every effort to grow our faith for him.

02.09.25 - Growth Requires Input 29:11

23 дні тому29:11

29:11

The tree in Psalm 1 is established because it has the right inputs – it is planted by the water, with plenty of sun and good soil. Consequently, it grows. Christians require input too, in the form of God’s instruction found in the Bible. With the right input we’ll grow healthy and produce fruit. With the wrong input, we’ll still grow, but in unhealthy and damaging way.…

02.02.25 - Rooted In Community 26:13

4 weeks тому26:13

26:13

Our world isolates and divides. Christians are called to live in community with one another. The earliest Christians met collectively in the Temple courts, and then in smaller groups in homes. Christians today should follow this example of gathering collectively for Church worship services, and then out in small groups!…

01.26.25 - Rooted In Your Purpose 26:02

5 weeks тому26:02

Our world treats humans like wealth-generating machines and encourages us to invest in all kinds of trivial pursuits. In contrast to that, Jesus gives us purpose and invites us to make the best kinds of investments: those with eternal returns.

01.19.25 - A Rooted Church 27:41

6 weeks тому27:41

People confuse all kinds of things with church: a building, a service, an address, a minister, a choir, or something else. What a church really is though, is a gathering of believers.

01.12.25 - A Rooted Identity 26:57

7 weeks тому26:57

26:57

We tend to define ourselves by our experiences, occupations, or circumstances. But if we follow Jesus, he is the one who determines our identity. What God says about us is what defines us, and we need to learn to see ourselves as he sees us!

01.05.24 - Grow in 2025 27:14

8 weeks тому27:14

27:14

Today we talked about where we are going in 2025…the need for us to grow our faith. If we aren’t growing, we are not producing fruit, and not living out God’s desires.

Characters: Wisemen – We know of the wisemen because they looked forward to Jesus, and because they show that he is king. What things in your life in 2025 will do the same? What are you looking forward to in your faith in the new year?

Today we look at Joseph’s part in the story of Jesus as Emmanuel, God with us! Through his story, we see that we have a part in the story of Jesus, if we choose to live it.

Character: Simeon/Anna My son Simeon is important to me. I’m just one guy in a world that is currently populated by 8 billion people. I live at this moment in history, but time stretches infinitely in both directions. Simeon matters to me, but I’m a nobody. Simeon matters to Jesus, and he is the King.…

14 weeks тому29:08

29:08

If you’ve heard of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, then the book of 2 Kings will feel familiar. It tells the story of the spiraling of both Israel and Judah toward destruction and exile. On the way, their kings are measured using one assessment: whether they followed God or not. That same standard holds true for us today, and no other markers, no other achievements matter in comparison to our relationship with God.…

27:01

Prince Rehoboam listened to his friends instead of wise advisors, and his decision led him to be king over a much smaller kingdom. The decisions you and I make today have the potential to change our future, for good or bad. It’s on us to be sure that we’re seeking wisdom in our decision-making!

30:14

Solomon became famous for his wealth and his wisdom, but throughout his reign, Solomon ignored God and took shortcuts. In the end, God pronounced judgement upon him. Today we too are tempted to take shortcuts and ignore God as we try to build our own kingdoms. In contrast to that, Jesus calls his followers to give up their lives for his sake, and in return find salvation.…

10.27.24 - After God's Own Heart 30:08

18 weeks тому30:08

30:08

2 Samuel gives us two opposing views of the life of David. On one hand he can chase after God’s own heart, especially in the story of Mephibosheth. On the other hand, he can forget everything about God and be selfish, which leads to actions that don’t bring glory to God. We can have a heart for God or a heart for ourselves. Our actions show where our heart is. We need to die to ourselves to live God’s heart.…

David was given the opportunity to easily eliminate Saul twice: once in a cave and once at night in Saul’s camp. In both instances, David chose to honor God’s anointed, and to wait on God’s timing. He knew what we need to learn today: that God is the ultimate check on human power.

20 weeks тому29:02

29:02

Saul was chosen by God to be the first king of Israel. God was literally making him king; all he had to do was obey. Unfortunately for Saul, that wasn’t enough for him, and he wanted to make himself king in his own way. We struggle with the same temptation today – to make ourselves king in God’s place. Christians should ask themselves every day, “Who is the king of my life?”…

Hannah’s prayer at the beginning of I Samuel reminds us that no matter who our rulers are, God alone has sovereignty. This was a message the Israelites would be reminded of over and over again during their monarchy period, and it’s a message we need reminding of today as well. Humans are fallible. God is not.…

Ruth was the ultimate outsider – a Moabite, an enemy of God’s people, excluded from their assembly by Torah. Yet, she chose to follow Naomi and to look for belonging among God’s people. Her example shows us that outsiders are given a chance to belong among the people of God, but it takes work – on our part, on their part, and on God’s part.…

23 weeks тому30:04

30:04

We all want a place to belong. But, to truly find community, it’s going to cost us. Deep community in God’s church means that we’re more than just attenders – we’re members of a rich and vibrant local body of believers. That status comes with great privileges, and great responsibility.

It only takes one person to mess things up for everyone. In any community, one person’s misdeeds can have serious repercussions for the whole group. On the other hand, it only takes one person to improve a relationship, and one person’s actions can help our church become a more welcoming place where people can belong.…

08.25.24 - Signs of Approval 32:27

27 weeks тому32:27

32:27

We sometimes think that God shows his approval to Christians, churches, or Christian organizations by increasing their wealth or power. The New Testament is pretty clear though – instead of wealth and power being signs of approval, they are a liability and a responsibility. They should be handled with care.…

We assume that faith will make life easier and more comfortable. When the opposite happens, our faith can be challenged. Hebrews 11 shows us that our heroes of the faith did not live comfortable lives. Instead, their eyes were fixed on a prize that they never fully realized during their earthly live.…

All too often, we become attached to things of this world including our patriotism. When we lose sight of who we are, we become prideful, judgmental, and fearful. 1 Peter will be our guide to help us know we are called out of darkness and made into a spiritual temple. WE are a people who “Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.” (1 Peter 2:17)…
