What is the Heart of Prayer? Lindsay Dick of the Zootown Preaching Team tackles the subject and gives us a look into the heart of prayer.Kirjoittanut Lindsay Dick

Ok ok! We get it the heart of God can even possibly begin to be expressed in one sermon! But here is a sermon that begins to scratch the surface of the surface of the topic!Kirjoittanut Bryce Dick

Is God yelling at you like HULK HOLGAN or does he simply wish you would believe that he is good? Pastor Bryce speaks about faith, anxiety, dinner time and looking to our Father for provisions in times of uncertainty.

Lent is a season of reflection, re-centering, and refocusing on hope. It’s also a time we examine our lives and move forward in our journey of sanctification. This week we start the Lenten season with a look at the finished work of Jesus Christ which was directly correlated with the Tabernacle in the Old Testament. Each station of the tabernacle re…

In this two-week series called “Participation” we look at what Kingdom living now looks like. Due to end times theology, Christians often are waiting for the destruction of the world instead of waiting for restoration. Jesus talked about a narrow gate that leads to life and a wide way that leads to destruction. What is the narrow way? Is it about H…

In this two-week series called “Participation” we look at what Kingdom living now looks like. Due to end times theology, Christians often are waiting for the destruction instead of waiting for restoration. What has Jesus called us to do? It is clear that Christ is in the process of restoring all things to its original creation. What a glorious day …

In this one-off series, Pastor Scott takes a sports approach to our lives. Every sport has a Hall of Fame of its best and most accomplished athletes in their field. Every one of them is different, and they all found what worked best for them but also what they weren’t good at. We also have a Hall of Fame in the book of Hebrews of those who went bef…

This year is a special year because the 4th week of Advent lands on Christmas Eve. So if you’re listening to this, you are actually listening to our Christmas Eve Service. Amazingly enough, it lands on the most important subject we can possibly seek after…God is love. This is what the incarnation is about: Love. That he loved us enough to become us…

In week 3 of Advent we look at something CS Lewis said was “A Christian's greatest weapon.” Why do we buy things? Why do we long for things? Why are experiences so important to us? We are longing for and created for joy! If you ask anyone on the street if they want joy they will say yes, but ask them how, you’ll get a million different answers. Yet…

In Week 2 of this Advent season, we look at something the world so desperately needs…Peace. In the prophecy of Isaiah, it says the Messiah would be the Prince of Peace. That’s who he is, that’s what he desires, and that is what he will accomplish. The issue is so many of us are waiting for the other person to make peace, but we can’t control other …

The Advent season has arrived, and in Week 1, we look at "Hope". Hope is something essential for life; without hope there is no moving forward. But what are we hoping in? Some think a new president will bring hope, some not. Some think a better economy brings hope, but for some, that doesn’t matter. During this season, we look at the passage where …

In this last sermon of the series, we look at a subject that all of us agree on but find it so hard to remember…gratitude. Don’t we all appreciate it when people recognize what we do? If we serve someone, doesn’t a "thank you" feel good? Now imagine being Jesus and all the blessings and mercy he shows humanity even in our sins...yet how many say “T…

As we continue in the series "The Real Miracle", we look at an intense moment between Jesus and the Pharisees. Jesus was about mercy; the Pharisees were about justice. The issue here is justice never fixes anything, it doesn’t change the situation, it doesn’t redeem the two parties. We see this example this week with a man with a withered hand who …

In week three of “The Real Miracle” we look at a touchy subject -- demonic possession. In our age of scientific reasoning, many have thrown out the spiritual world as nonsense. What they don’t know is they are in the minority! Most cultures believe in the supernatural realm and look to it for guidance and also to be aware of its dangers. Jesus hims…

In week two of the “The Real Miracles” we look at a woman who was ostracized from the community she loved for 12 years because she had a blood disorder. In those days if you were sick, you were unclean, you couldn’t touch people, and if you did, they had to go wash everything they owned. She lived in a terrible existence of isolation. However, she …

One of Jesus’ main parts of his ministry was healing. We have recorded history that these miracles took place and continue to this day. But why did he do it? Obviously because he loves people, but why worry about our bodies if they’re sinful and will be resurrected someday anyhow? The Bible is spiritual, yes, it is history in some sense, but its ma…

We wrap up our five-week series on the vision of Zootown with the next phases of our building project. There is no real timeline for it other than when the money comes in, but this answers the why are we doing it question. Every generation is worried about the next generation that is being raised. What they miss is we are the ones raising them! The…

In the 4th installment of this vision series, we talk about the other purposes of our building project. Namely the community. We live in a post Christian America, so what do we do about it? Do we become judgmental, cynical, angry about it? Do we vote the right person in and get back to law and order? Or do we fulfill the call of being salt and ligh…

As we continue our series on our fundraising campaign, we focused the first two weeks on vision. Who are we, what are we doing here, and where are we going. This third week is looking at the hard numbers for what this will cost and why it’s important to design this building the way we did. However, Pastor Scott gives a brief history of Churches bei…

In week two, Pastor Scott touches on two of the things you’re never supposed to talk about: religion and politics. Our nation is divided and unfortunately that division has entered the Church and caused much harm. Yet we are called to be of the Kingdom, the New Jerusalem, which is a totally different way of looking at the World. We believe if you h…

We kick off the new series “The Burbs” by talking about who we are as a Church. Right now, we are in the middle of a building expansion project but why are we doing it? We see the new building as a byproduct of the new reformation we are going through in the Church. However, every reformation has a little bit of old and a little bit of new. We can …
