  • The Prophets & The Heart of God - Week 1 | Learning To Identify With God

    The Prophets & The Heart of God - Week 1 | Learning To Identify With God
    Jun 14 2026
    When the world’s injustices feel normal and God feels distant, it’s easy to shrink back or pretend nothing can be done. This sermon picks up that strain — the numbness to suffering, the fear of confronting a God who is more real and demanding than our comfortable ideas, and the doubt that ordinary people can make a difference. Using Moses’ call at the burning bush as a mirror, it names how we excuse ourselves and settle for smallness while others suffer. The message gently reframes prophecy not as fortune-telling but as being drawn into God’s concern: learning to see the pain God sees, grieve with the depth God grieves, and act with the courage God calls for. You’ll be invited to trade easy, consumer versions of faith for a faith that grieves, serves, and points beyond itself — not by growing a megachurch persona but by learning to speak God’s compassion in everyday life, in ways that quietly unsettle and renew.

  • Revelation: Hope That Outlasts Empires - Week 7 | The Wedding Of The Lamb

    Revelation: Hope That Outlasts Empires - Week 7 | The Wedding Of The Lamb
    Jun 7 2026
    When relationships become transactions—favor traded for favor, people treated as means to an end—the world starts to look like Babylon: corrupt, using, and dehumanizing. This message names that ache plainly. It lays out how our tendency to use others mirrors the prostitute image in Revelation, showing how even religious systems can become cold reciprocity rather than covenantal love. From there the sermon turns to the surprising remedy: a vulnerable Lamb who absorbs hatred instead of answering it with force, and a bride adorned not by merit but by grace. You’ll hear how the cosmic wedding image reframes hope — not as moral self-help but as a rescued, forever-belonging that heals loneliness, rights wrongs, and makes everything new. Listen for the stubborn, scandalous claim that God refuses a future without you and for why that changes what belonging really looks like.

  • River Lessons

    River Lessons
    May 31 2026
    You’re carrying two heavy habits at once: replaying past regrets and rehearsing future catastrophes. That split focus leaves the present—the only moment you actually live—empty. This message names that exact struggle and points out how constant paddling to catch up or control steals joy, peace, and the simple gifts that are right in front of you. The talk uses a weekend floating a river as a practical map: stop paddling, be still, and let the current (and God’s guiding care) carry you. It connects small practices—praying at meals, noticing things at stoplights, saying thank you—to a larger freedom found in trusting grace. You’ll hear why two words changed everything on that float, how someone who’s been ahead can steady you through the bends, and why the present can finally feel like a gift worth staying for.
