With God: In Jesus - The Way of Rest [39]

Matthew 11:25-30 // Gabe Coyle Matthew 11:25–30 reveals a tender invitation from Jesus to all who feel exhausted by the burdens of life and religious strain. Jesus thanks the Father for revealing divine truth to humble hearts rather than the proud, showing that true knowledge of God comes through his son. He then invites believers to come to him, exchange their heavy burdens for his easy yoke, and find rest for their souls through his gentle and humble posture. This sermon explores how trusting in Jesus brings true spiritual renewal and freedom.

With God: In Jesus - The Upside-Down Life [38]

Luke 6:43–49 // Jacob Nannie Luke 6:43–49 contrasts healthy trees with bad trees and wise builders with foolish ones. Jesus teaches that a tree is known by its fruit, explaining that the words and actions that flow out of us reflect what is stored in our hearts. He concludes his sermon on the mount with the parable of two builders: the one who hears his words and puts them into practice builds a house on solid rock that withstands severe floods, while the one who disobeys builds on sand without a foundation. This sermon breaks down how obedience to Christ builds an unshakable life.

With God: In Jesus - The Joy of New Creation [37]

John 2:1–11 // Paul Brandes This sermon details Jesus turning water into wine during a wedding feast in Cana of Galilee. When the wine ran out, Mary brought the need to Jesus, who instructed the servants to fill six stone water jars to the brim. By transforming the water into the finest wine, Jesus performed his first miraculous sign, revealing his divine glory and leading his disciples to place their trust in him. This sermon unpacks the key lessons from this passage, showing how God brings transformation and abundance to everyday life.

With God: In Jesus - God With Us [36]

Matthew 1:18-2:23 // Benjamin Asante Matthew 1:18–2:24 details the miraculous circumstances surrounding the birth and early childhood of Jesus. Beginning with Joseph’s dilemma and the angel's message, this passage highlights how God protected his son from Herod through dreams and guided the young family into Egypt. Through every hardship and movement, scripture demonstrates the unfolding fulfillment of old prophecies, showing how Jesus came to save his people from their sins. This sermon breaks down the key lessons on faith, obedience, and divine guidance found in these chapters.

With God: In Darkness and Hope - Jonah [34]

Jonah 4:1-11 // Paul Brandes What happens when God extends mercy to the very people you want him to judge? In this study of Jonah 4:1-11, we look at the final, messy chapter of Jonah's story. Instead of celebrating a massive spiritual turning point in Nineveh, Jonah becomes furious because God is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and filled with love. This sermon explores our own struggles with bitterness, how we can fall into the trap of wanting mercy for ourselves but judgment for others, and the lesson of the fading plant that God uses to challenge Jonah's perspective. Join us as we look into the mirror of this passage and confront the radical nature of God's love for a broken world.

With God: In Darkness and Hope - Hosea [33]

Hosea 2:1-23 // Rachel Nesse What does God do when his people walk away from him? In this look at Hosea 2:1-23, we see a raw and powerful picture of unfaithfulness, consequences, and ultimate pursuit. Hosea’s own broken marriage serves as a mirror for the relationship between God and his people. This sermon explores how God allows us to face the emptiness of our choices, not to abandon us, but to win us back. Discover the beautiful promise of the wilderness, where he speaks tenderly to our hearts, replaces shame with hope, and offers a brand-new covenant of faithfulness and mercy. If you need to understand the relentless depth of God's grace, this message will meet you right where you are.

With God: In Darkness and Hope - Amos [32]

Amos 5:1-24 // Paul Brandes What happens when religion becomes just an empty show? In this study of Amos 5:1-24, we face a stark warning given to people who were going through all the right religious motions while ignoring the poor and twisting justice. This sermon breaks down why God hates empty rituals when hearts are far from him, and what it truly means to "seek the Lord and live." Discover the weight of the day of the lord and hear the famous, roaring call to let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. If you want to understand what true, lived-out faith looks like to a God who demands justice, this message is a direct and powerful challenge for our lives today.

With God: In Darkness and Hope - Daniel [31]

Daniel 6:1-28 // Paul Brandes What happens when your commitment to doing the right thing lands you in a pit full of predators? In this study of Daniel 6:1-28, we look at one of the most famous stories in scripture to find real-world lessons about integrity and courage. Daniel was a top official who faced intense jealousy from his peers, leading to a corrupt law designed to trap him for praying to his God. This sermon explores Daniel's unshakeable habit of prayer, how he trusted God even when facing a death sentence, and how a helpless king watched God shut the mouths of the lions. Discover how a life of quiet faithfulness can change the hearts of rulers and show the living power of God to the world around you.

With God: In Darkness and Hope - Ezekiel [30]

Ezekiel 36:16-38 // Josh Sluyter What does real spiritual transformation look like? In this study of Ezekiel 36:16-38, we explore a moment where God promises to rescue his people—not because they earned it, but to show his own holiness to the world. This sermon breaks down the beautiful promise of clean water washing away the past, the removal of a stubborn heart of stone, and the gift of a soft heart of flesh. Learn how God puts his own spirit inside his people to help them walk in his ways, turning scattered lives into a flourishing garden. If you want to understand the deep roots of God's grace and how he completely rebuilds what was broken, this message is for you.

With God: In Darkness and Hope - Jeremiah [29]

Jeremiah 29:1-23// Paul Brandes We often hear Jeremiah 29:11 quoted on graduation cards, but what does it mean when it is spoken to people living as captives in a foreign land? In this study of Jeremiah 29:1-23, we look at the letter Jeremiah sent to the exiles in Babylon. Instead of telling them they would escape quickly, God told them to plant gardens, build houses, and pray for the peace of the city they were trapped in. This sermon explores what it looks like to trust God when life does not look the way you planned, how to find him when you search with all your heart, and why his promises are reliable even in the middle of difficult seasons.
