A Table In The Wilderness - Week 1 | A Table In The Wilderness

February 28, 2026 • 42 mins
Plenty around you but nothing that satisfies — bills, illness, cultural chaos, and a restless sense that the story you were counting on has run out. This sermon names that specific wilderness: the confusion young adults feel about purpose, the short memory that forgets past provision, and the quiet panic of being caught between shifting economies, technology, and loss. It speaks plainly to people who feel disoriented and exhausted ...

God's Math

February 21, 2026 • 40 mins
You’re holding tight to every dollar because money feels like safety. Maybe bills pile up, anxiety nags at month’s end, or you’ve been burned by “give and get” promises. This sermon tackles that real, stubborn worry head-on—why so many of us treat income like ours alone, and what shifts when we stop trying to be the ultimate source of security. The message lays out a simple practice: recognize that everything comes from God, retur...

Wonder - Week 7 | Seek

February 14, 2026 • 36 mins
When family fractures, public pressure, or the simple weight of life make you want to hide, David’s cry in Psalm 27 cuts straight to the heart: one thing I will seek — the face, the beauty, the favor of God. This sermon holds that raw tension—fear, enemies, even abandonment by those closest to us—and refuses to reduce faith to information or technique. It lays out why the longing for God’s beauty matters when everything else is fai...

Wonder - Week 6 | Humility

February 7, 2026 • 30 mins
When life feels like a nonstop audition — proving you belong, worth, and meaning — exhaustion follows. The pressure to demand justice, score moral victories, or carve out a self-serving freedom leaves people constantly judged: by algorithms, neighbors, and the voice in their own head. That grind flattens wonder and leaves faith feeling like an empty courtroom. Here the ancient prophet Micah cuts through the noise with three simple...

Wonder - Week 5 | Awe

January 31, 2026 • 35 mins
When your days feel reduced to tasks, notifications, and metrics—when people are treated like data and meaning slips through your fingers—life starts to look like smoke. This sermon addresses that specific ache: the numbness that comes from living in an I-It world where wonder has been crowded out by speed, consumption, and a hardening of the heart. The message reclaims an old phrase often translated "fear of the Lord" a...

Wonder - Week 4 | Grace

January 24, 2026 • 34 mins
Holding a mental scale of good deeds against bad is exhausting and can leave you unsure where you stand with God. This sermon starts with two blunt, soul-searching questions about what happens if you die tonight and whether doing good is enough. It names the worry many carry—that we must earn our way into heaven—and refuses to leave it vague or polite. The message walks through a clear contrast between justice, mercy, and grace, u...

Wonder - Week 3 | Delight

January 17, 2026 • 41 mins
Watching people who seem selfish, loud, and successful get ahead while quiet, generous people struggle can leave you exhausted, angry, and half convinced something is broken beyond repair. This message names that sting—envy, worry loops at 2 a.m., and the temptation to fight fire with fire—and names the temptation to let those things become the center of your life. Instead of a pep talk, the sermon zeroes in on one surprising move...

Wonder - Week 2 | Rejoice

January 10, 2026 • 41 mins
Foreign experts following a bright star meet a city that’s unsettled and a religion that won’t leave the temple — a tension between human cleverness and the strange, small place where God shows up. This sermon digs into the awkwardness of the Magi: esteemed astrologers who are led to a poor home in Bethlehem while Jerusalem stays safely at home. It names the modern parallel — we still look for meaning in power, prestige, and polish...

Wonder - Week 1 | Wonder

January 3, 2026 • 35 mins
The world hums with busyness, endless scrolling, and the steady flattening of wonder — so how do we recover a sense of awe when life feels like noise and our days blur into to-do lists? This message traces that tension from late-night screens to the forgotten habit of marveling at the stars, our hands, and the fact that we exist at all. It points to Psalm 8 as a counterpoint to cynicism and cultural distraction, naming the loss of ...

Woven - Week 4 | The Thread Continues

December 27, 2025 • 28 mins
The new year can feel like a thin veil: holiday warmth and hopeful resolutions that quickly fray when old habits, anxiety, or guilt return. If you’re tired of feel-good pep talks that don’t stick, or you’ve wrestled with the gap between wanting to change and feeling stuck, this message meets that precise tension. It names the fatigue of trying harder and the quieter ache of needing something deeper than motivation. Using the momen...

Woven | Christmas Eve 2025

December 23, 2025 • 31 mins
The holidays can feel strange when the lights, trees, and Santa-sized rituals crowd out the very thing they're supposed to celebrate — and for many, Christmas surfaces grief, isolation, or a sense that meaning has been manufactured. This message confronts that tension head-on: why do our traditions sometimes miss the point, and what difference does it make that “the Word became flesh”? The preacher leans on the Woven theme, im...

Long-Expected Hope

December 20, 2025 • 35 mins
The holidays can feel like a sprint of obligation: buying the right gifts, keeping up appearances, and sometimes sinking into debt just to prove love. That pressure squeezes out the quieter longing many of us carry—real hope, rest, and a sense that life could actually be whole. This message names that tension and refuses the “must perform” script so many of us inherit. Rather than another list of things to do, the sermon walks thr...

Woven – Week 3 | The Thread Of Trust

December 13, 2025 • 38 mins
A young, unmarried woman gets an angelic announcement and then is left alone to face shame, confusion, and danger — a picture that mirrors how many of us feel when life hands grief, doubt, or the risk of loving someone anyway. If you’ve hesitated to trust because relationships bring hurt, or wondered where God is in the messy parts of life, this message names that blunt tension: God doesn’t keep his distance when things are fragile...

Woven - Week 2 | The Thread Of Hope

December 6, 2025 • 34 mins
The world feels unbearably dark—wars, systemic abuse, and personal loss pile up until you’re clutching at a single frayed thread of hope. Some walk away from faith because suffering seems to make belief impossible; others numb out or pretend the darkness isn’t real. This message names that low place honestly: the historical fear of invasion, the private grief, the cultural rot that leaves people wondering if light can ever break th...

Woven – Week 1 | The Thread Of Promise

November 29, 2025 • 26 mins
When the things you plan, earn, or control start to feel like the only safe ground, doubt creeps in and you begin to wonder whether God is holding out on you. This sermon goes straight to that fragile place: the temptation to trust ourselves over what God says, the instinct to hide and cover our shame, and the familiar cycle of blame and self-justification that follows. It names the modern fig leaves—achievement, busyness, religion...

Peace

November 22, 2025 • 36 mins
Twelve years of bleeding left her unclean, isolated, and out of places that once felt safe — worship, work, relationships. This sermon speaks to the quiet, stubborn weariness of people who’ve tried doctors, money, prayers, and still wake up the same: embarrassed, excluded, and convinced nothing will change. If you’ve ever felt like your life is defined by a single wound that won’t heal, this message names that exact ache without sp...

Credo – Week 9 | Life Of The World To Come

November 15, 2025 • 36 mins
When the news, loss, and small daily defeats add up so the future feels uncertain, it’s hard to keep living with meaning. This message names that ache — from grief and burnout to the sense that our work won’t matter beyond our lifetime — and refuses the hurry to escape or numb. It meets the specific fear that everything we care about might simply vanish. Grounded in the vision of a renewed heaven and earth, the sermon argues the f...

Credo – Week 8 | One Baptism

November 8, 2025 • 42 mins
You’re tired of trying harder and getting the same results — willpower, self-help tricks, and pep talks haven’t changed the habits, the selfishness, or the anxious core that keeps repeating. Maybe baptism feels like a one-time ritual you don’t think about, or maybe you haven’t been part of one at all. The tension is real: longing to be different while feeling mostly the same. This sermon reads Romans 6 as a wake-up call and a prom...

Credo – Week 7 | One Church

November 1, 2025 • 38 mins
Sunday mornings can feel risky: people have been hurt by cliques, power plays, judgment, or a boring routine that left them empty. Some have walked away convinced church is broken beyond repair. Others stay but quietly resent the mess, wondering whether faith is meant to look like petty politics and polished performances. This message refuses to pretend the church is either flawless or worthless. It names the glory—how God chooses...

Beyond Belief: Going Deeper with Jesus

October 25, 2025 • 33 mins
When faith starts to feel like a ticket to a future destination rather than a guide for today, it's easy to settle for being a “Christian” without learning how to live like Jesus did. This sermon faces that gap head-on: many of us hold tight to the promise of eternal life but haven’t been taught how to be Jesus’ apprentice here and now. The tension is between believing and practicing — between trying harder and actually traini...
