In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our role as Christians in a world filled with diverse beliefs and idols. Drawing from Paul's encounter in Athens in Acts 17, we're reminded that our faith isn't meant to be a private affair, but a transformative force in every aspect of culture. Just as Paul went to the marketplace, we're called to immerse ourselves in our communities, workplaces, and social spaces. The key lesson here is that authentic faith in Jesus propels us into every arena of our culture, living as different sorts of people there. We're encouraged to see beyond the surface, recognizing that everyone worships something, even if it's not a physical idol. This insight invites us to approach our neighbors with compassion, understanding their deepest longings and anxieties. As we engage with our culture, we're challenged to feel deeply distressed about the brokenness around us, yet move towards our neighbors in love, avoiding both outright condemnation and uncritical affirmation.

(3-9-25) 1 Samuel 15 -- Part 2

Tom Parker reminds us of the transformative power of God's love and the promise of spiritual renewal on this 3rd Sunday of Lent. The prophecy of Ezekiel takes center stage, offering hope to those in exile and to us in our own spiritual journeys. We're challenged to examine our hearts and recognize the 'idols' we may unconsciously worship in our lives. The promise of God to give us a 'new heart' and a 'new spirit' speaks to His desire for intimate relationship with us. This isn't just ancient history - it's a living promise for our lives today. As we reflect on this, we're invited to consider: What areas of our lives need God's renewing touch? How can we open ourselves to this divine heart transplant? The message reminds us that true transformation comes not from our own efforts alone, but through surrendering to God's grace and allowing His Spirit to work within us.

Q&A - 1 Kings 17-19

In this 5th week in reThinking Everything series, we're challenged to examine what's truly shaping our hearts and minds. Drawing from Colossians 3, we're reminded that transformation in Christ is not just about surface-level changes, but about becoming an entirely new person. The analogy of a secret apartment in a mall vividly illustrates how easily we can let harmful thoughts and habits take up residence in our lives without even realizing it. We're called to 'strip off the old self' and 'clothe ourselves with the new self,' a process that involves both 'digging down' to identify our idols and 'looking up' to set our minds on Christ. This message encourages us to consider: What have we allowed to move into our souls? Are we being transformed by Christ, or unintentionally shaped by the world around us? It's a call to intentional spiritual growth and a reminder that in Christ, we have the power to become the people we were truly meant to be.

Chapter 5 - Abraham - the Father of us All

In this week's message, our Pastor, Jason Wright, shares about what idolatry looks like in today's context and how we can overcome it. 

The Ten, God over Things (May 4, 2025)

Sermon preached on the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost, June 29, 2025, based on Luke 9:51-62.

Fit for the Kingdom of God

We Believe: “No One Can Serve Two Masters”

Pastor Ben teaches from the minor prophet book of Micah. Micah calls out the leaders and false prophets for their idolatry and selfish ambitions. There is a clear warning of harship to come because of this sin that had corrupted their ways. But the story it never over, as we learned from other prophets. Our God who is great in mercy, shows His compassion upon the repentant heart. His kindess and mercy is our motivation to live a life in accordance to His will and purpose. If you carry His name, carry His purpose.

This podcast is recorded in my car as I drive to work. I do it this way so that I can work through ideas organically without the luxury of a Bible or any other books to fall back on. This way I know how I sound when I talk on these subjects and I can listen back to what I said and see the path and progression of my own theology and understanding of Jesus. I do not edit so as to keep discussions as raw and real as possible, although I do pause from time to time, like when I recently spilled my coffee or when I get a call.
