⛪️ Discipleship ⛪️ 44:50

44:50

How should churches create disciples? In our modern churches we are often more focused on hyping Christians up instead of discipling them in the way of Jesus.

Tips for Survival [pt. 2] 40:04

8M ago40:04

40:04

If we stray from the Word, we will struggle against worldly pressures and fleshly temptations. Jesus exemplified constant meditation on the Scriptures, and we can see how it influenced His resilience in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). How can we mirror this approach in our own lives?

SERVING A PERSONAL GOD 40:31

8M ago40:31

40:31

Taking a cue from David in Psalm 139, this Sunday we learned about what it really means to serve an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent God. He knows us intimately, is always with us—seeing everything we go through, and is more than powerful enough to overcome any adversary. So... how does that mold our lives? If you're looking for more sermons and…

❇ Miracles ❈ 38:02

The common worldview we find in humanity today takes all of God's miraculous works and reduces them to misunderstandings, mere symbols, or complete fabrications. But... our Lord is still a miracle working God! When we approach Christmas, we approach the ultimate miracle of God—Christ coming in the flesh. But God's miracles do not end there... If yo…

Are you a misfit? Good news! You're in incredible company :) David, the shepherds who first saw Jesus, the disciples, and even Jesus himself were misfits.

WILL YOU SAY YES? 45:05

11M ago45:05

45:05

One of our great images for how to follow God is Jesus' mother—the virgin Mary. During the time that God called her to give birth to Christ, she demonstrated an immense proclivity towards complete submission, and passion for God's will. Taking our cue from her, let's answer the question: will you say yes to God? If you're looking for more sermons a…

"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) Jesus' pattern for our life comes into focus in baptism: as Jesus went down into the grave and emerged renewed, we too become transformed when we receive Jesus' life-changing work in…

The Reality of GOD 33:56

How are we so confident in God's existence? Well, we can look to three things that speak to his existence: creation, the supernatural, and people's testimonies! For this Family Sunday, Pastor Jonathan gave a short word on each. Enjoy! If you're looking for more sermons and devotions check out our other episodes! We have weekly services that are pos…

How can I hear God’s voice? 34:07

34:07

If only we could hear God's voice all the time, right? Just have a special set of headphones or something that tells us exactly what we should do or how we should act. But, as we learn from the story of Samuel, God's voice is tough to recognize even when it's audible! This Sunday, Jacob Wallace teaches us about the voice of God, how to recognize it…

HEROES in the Valley 35:00

THE GOD OF SUCCESS [pt. 3] 39:04

1y ago39:04

39:04

As Christians, we don't define success the way the world does. While they might value money, fame, and power, we follow Jesus' standard for success. We should understand success as accomplishing and fulfilling everything that God has placed in our hearts and given us the ability to do. And this is God's will for all people.

We've all experienced terrible things and know of the history of evil in the world. So how is it that God is in control?

in a pit with a lion on a snowy day 39:29

How do we deal with sin, fear, and the devil in our lives? Rather than procrastinating, neglecting, or simply being lazy, we need to actively deal with the powers of evil at work in our lives and the lives of those around us. Because of God's work in us, we can go after these evils and come out the victor! If you're looking for more sermons and dev…

When Gideon was preparing to go into battle completely outnumbered, God asked him to conduct a few tests to diminish his numbers even more. Rather than fighting with 32,000 men, Gideon had to fight with 300. But the important part about these men is that they were ready to fight. This Sunday, Jonathan asks us the same question: are we ready and pre…

What does it mean to 'believe' in Jesus? Can we expect to say a single prayer and then live opposed to him? This Sunday, our outreach pastor Cris McPhetridge talks about that very thing. All the New Testament authors and Jesus himself expected Christians to live differently after their conversion. As James says, "I will show you my faith by my deed…

Eugene Peterson once said, "The essential thing 'in heaven and earth' is that there should be long obedience in the same direction". Obedience is difficult though.
