When God Asks the Unthinkable
The Binding of Isaac is one of the most troubling stories in all of Scripture — but what if we’ve misunderstood the test all along? In this sermon we explore the God who sees, the God who tests, the fallout of Abraham’s choices, and the second question we often miss.
Why Sodom Still Matters
This isn’t a story about “those people.” It’s a story about us—about power, justice, hospitality, and the God who is far more patient and gracious than we expect. Join us as we revisit Sodom and Gomorrah through the lens of Abraham’s trust, God’s character, and the surprising grace hidden in a hard text.
Enough Good to Go Around
Explore the moment Abraham begins to trust God after failure. Coming out of his mistakes in Egypt, Abraham faces a new test — will fear guide him again, or will faith take root this time? This story of Abraham and Lot isn’t just ancient history; it’s a mirror for our own journeys of grace, learning, and renewal.
Every New Beginning Starts with Letting Go
In this opening message of our Big Promises, Small Steps series, we explore how the grand narrative of God’s reconciliation—what Paul calls “the healing of all things”—begins with a single family leaving home, not knowing where they’re going.
Faith, Trust, and Divine Kindness
Through Thomas’ doubt, Philip’s confusion, and Jesus’ response of kindness, we discover a God who meets us not with precision or perfection, but with presence. This talk invites us to see that faith is not what we think—it’s what we trust ourselves to.
Peacemaker, Not Peacekeeper
What does it really mean to be a peacemaker?
In this sermon from our Grounded series, we unpack Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
Jesus on the Emmaus Road
In this sermon from our Grounded series, we explore the story of the Emmaus Road in Luke 24, where the risen Jesus walks with two disciples who don’t recognize him at first. What if faith isn’t just about ideas or passion, but about centering everything on Jesus?
Doubting Thomas Deserves an Apology
We all know him as “Doubting Thomas”—but is that really fair? In this teaching, we take a closer look. Thomas shows us that faith isn’t about certainty—it’s about trust, risk, and the courage to keep following Jesus even when we’re unsure. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions, wondered if doubt disqualifies you, or longed for proof that God’s promises are real—this message is for you.
Why Do We Sing?
Why do humans sing — and why has singing together been a part of human culture for as long as we can remember? In this talk, we explore the surprising science, deep history, and spiritual significance of song — both inside and outside the church.
Prophetic Imagination and the Poetry of Exodus
As one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of our time, Brueggemann taught us how to read the scriptures not just for what they say, but for what they imagine—how they invite us to resist empires, lament honestly, and hope boldly.
The Divine Conspiracy in the Beatitudes
This week we dive into the enduring wisdom of philosopher and spiritual teacher Dallas Willard. Join us as we explore his vision of Christian spiritual formation, the kingdom of God, and the slow, transformative work of grace in our lives.
Why Cosmic Faith Must Shape Everyday Life
In the finale of our Colossians series, we explore Paul’s sign-off in Chapter 4—and uncover how his final greetings actually complete a sweeping movement through the letter: from the cosmic scale of Christ’s reconciliation of all things… to the gritty, intimate realities of daily life.
Faith That Heals the World
Is there something lacking in Christ’s suffering? Did Paul really mean that he could “fill up what is still lacking” in Jesus’ afflictions? And what does that mean for your life today? In this week’s sermon, we dive deep into Colossians chapter 2, exploring the tension between divine reconciliation and human responsibility.
Cosmic. Personal. Jesus.
What does the universe have to do with your daily life? In this opening message of our new series on Colossians, we explore the mystery and depth of Paul’s poetic vision—anchored in a Christ who holds all things together.
Why Baptism Matters
Baptism is more than just a ritual — it’s a layered encounter with grace that stretches from ancient Jewish practices to the earliest Christian communities. But why do we do it? And how does it shape our faith today?
The Table Changes Everything
In this Easter reflection, we step into the Strange New World of resurrection and explore why the Eucharist, Communion, and the Lord’s Supper have always been at the heart of Christian practice. Long before the gospels were written, before theology was fully formed, the first followers of Jesus gathered around a table — and they experienced grace you could taste.
The Natural State of the Cosmos
In this honest, layered Easter message, Jeremy shares a deeply personal reflection on parenting, grief, and the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. From losing a beloved family dog to wrestling with theological shorthand that reduces Easter to a transaction, this is an exploration of why the cross is not about God’s anger — but about God’s grace.
Temptation, Evil, and Kingdom
Today we explore the powerful conclusion to the Lord's Prayer, examining the familiar yet mysterious lines about temptation, evil, and the well-known benediction: "For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
How to Pray for Forgiveness
Today, we dive into one of the most challenging and profound lines from the Lord’s Prayer: "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," or is it "trespasses"? In this powerful exploration, we unpack the deep metaphors behind "debts" and "trespasses," examining our obligations, broken boundaries, and the true possibilities of forgiveness.
Reimagining ‘Our Father’
Ultimately, this message encourages us to reimagine prayer as sacred conversation—where we are fully known, completely safe, and unconditionally loved. It's a space where authenticity meets divine embrace.
