In Song Of Simeon, part two of the Expecting series, Mark Medley opens Luke 2:21–35 and shows why one elderly worshiper could hear God in a long silence, recognize the Messiah at first sight, and die satisfied. When Simeon lifts the infant Jesus and sings of a salvation prepared “in the presence of all peoples,” he also names the tension at the center of worship: this child will be a cornerstone for some and a stumbling stone for o...

What if the name of your city, your home, your inner life could be rewritten with one promise: The Lord is there? In this closing session of our Names of God study, we step into Ezekiel’s world—exile, rubble, and everything in between—to discover why Jehovah Shammah still lands like hope for people navigating wilderness seasons of their own.

We trace Ezekiel’s startling prophetic sign-acts and sweeping visions: the chariot-throne wh...

Advent isn’t just about counting down; it’s about cultivating expectancy. In this first message of the Expecting series, Mark Medley opens Luke 1:57–80 and lingers with Zechariah, the aging priest whose silenced voice is restored in a rush of praise and prophecy. Mark shows how God remembers the prayers we forget, and how worship becomes the space where His covenant faithfulness turns personal. Zechariah blesses the God of Israel f...

Neil Silverberg continues the In Christ series by taking us into Paul’s soaring prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21. Rather than asking God to change circumstances first, Neil shows how Paul prays people into the truth—beginning with the Father, aiming at the inner life, and expecting the Spirit to work from the inside out. What if our first prayer was for power in the inner being, for Christ to truly make a home in us, for roots that go d...

When leaders fracture and communities lose their way, the question becomes painfully simple: where can we find a righteousness that actually holds? In this session, we open Jeremiah 23 and trace a golden thread through Israel’s story—Abraham’s faith, Moses’ covenant, David’s throne—until it resolves in a name that reorders everything: Jehovah Tsidkenu, “The Lord Our Righteousness.”

We walk through Jeremiah’s sharp indictment of fail...

What if God’s call on your life is closer than you think—and what if He’s already given you the power to live it? In this In Christ message, Scott Wiens walks through Ephesians 3:1–13 and traces two gracious steps God took with Paul—and still takes with us today: commissioning and empowering. Scott opens with a memorable story about a former coworker named Steve, whose steady kindness and quiet faith helped steer him back to Jesus....

Holiness isn’t a self-help project; it’s a relationship sustained by God’s own power. In this session, we explore what it means for the Lord to be our Sanctifier, tracing the theme from Exodus and Leviticus all the way to the clarity of 1 Thessalonians 4, Romans 12, and Hebrews 10. Throughout Scripture, sanctification carries a twofold reality: God sets us apart in Christ once for all, and then He continually makes us holy by the S...

What if the deepest divides in your world aren’t political or cultural, but spiritual—and what if they’re already defeated? In Built Together, part of the In Christ series, Mark Medley walks through Ephesians 2:13–22 to show how the gospel doesn’t just reconcile us to God; it kills the hostility between us. He traces Paul’s two-word pivot—“but now”—from the bleak reality of alienation to the bright certainty of peace in Christ. Fro...

Peace that holds under fire doesn’t come from quiet rooms or perfect plans—it comes from knowing the Lord as Jehovah Shalom. In this session, we begin with a deeply personal story about ministry to weary pastors and the phrase that shaped it: “nothing missing, nothing broken.” From there, we explore the profound Hebrew meaning of shalom—wholeness, completeness, reconciliation, and being fully paid for—and how that truth can reframe...

In “Made New,” part of the In Christ series, Tyler Lynde opens Ephesians 2:10–13 and traces the journey from “far off” to “brought near.” He celebrates signs of spiritual hunger in our day, yet he presses beyond headlines to the heart of true renewal. Drawing on Jonathan Edwards, Tyler names the marks of a God-breathed awakening: deep conviction of sin, genuine repentance, a growing love for Jesus, and lives aligned with Scripture....

What if the God who spoke galaxies into being is also the One who leads you beside still waters? In this session, we follow that thread from the burning bush to Psalm 23, tracing how Yahweh—the I AM—reveals Himself as our Shepherd: powerful enough to part seas, yet tender enough to calm skittish hearts. Along the way, we also explore why some translations use “Jehovah” while others use “Yahweh,” and how both reveal the same self-ex...

What if the greatest power you’ll ever know is already under the hood—and you’ve barely touched the accelerator? In this message from the In Christ series, Kelly Kinder opens Ephesians 2:1–9 and ties it back to Paul’s prayer in chapter 1, where the “immeasurable greatness” of God’s power is moving toward those who believe. With a vivid before-and-after, Kelly shows how Scripture describes life apart from Jesus—dead in sins, enslave...

What if your life could run on the quiet power of being wanted? In this message, Brian Durfee walks through Ephesians 1 to show how God reframes our identity from the ground up, moving us from an orphan mindset to the settled confidence of sons and daughters who live “before Him”—face to face with the Father—every hour of the day.

We begin by separating the method of sonship from its source. The gospel is the method—Jesus dies and r...

In Raised and Seated, part of the In Christ series, Tyler Lynde opens Ephesians 1:15–23 and invites you to trade frantic self-management for a truer posture in Jesus. Tyler traces Paul’s breathtaking sweep: God raised Christ, God seated Him at the Father’s right hand, and God gave Him as head over all things to the Church. From that foundation, Tyler shows how union with Christ reshapes identity and daily practice: if Jesus is rais...

A single name can steady a shaken heart. In this session, we journey through Exodus 17 to explore Jehovah Nisi—“The Lord is my banner”—and discover why that ancient name still reshapes how we face exhaustion, conflict, and the long work of becoming a people set apart. The story begins with thirst and quarreling, moves through water flowing from the rock, and climaxes on a hillside where Moses prays, Joshua fights, and Aaron and Hur...

How do you love your people when words feel thin and life is loud? Mark Medley answers by taking us back to Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1 and showing how intercession becomes the most practical form of love. He begins with a raw, hopeful testimony of wandering and return from Ben Smith, then opens the Scriptures to build a simple, sturdy way to pray that anyone can use. This message continues the In Christ series and grounds prayer ...

Bitter water turned sweet isn’t just an ancient story—it’s a map for modern hearts carrying pain. In this powerful session, we explore Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, and what healing looks like when cures delay, when diagnoses sting, and when faith must endure through the night. From Exodus 15’s bitter waters of Marah to the cross that reframes every wound, we trace how God’s ways—not only His acts—teach us to pray, to persist, ...

What if provision starts with presence, not paychecks? In this powerful opening session of our new series on the revealed names of God, we begin with Jehovah Jireh and explore a deeper, more personal picture of how God provides—often in ways that look like peace under pressure, courage to wait, unexpected helpers, and a table set right in the presence of our enemies.

Through both Scripture and lived experience, Patty Clemo...
