  • The Word of God

    September 8th, 2019  |  37 mins 49 secs

    The Word of God is Jesus Christ, and the words of the Bible tell us about that Word. So what do we do when we don’t understand portions of the Bible? What do we do when we do understand and are appalled? Dr. Mark Foster helps us learn how to read and NOT read the Bible in Week 1 of our September Sermon Series, “Making Sense of the Bible."

  • Words to Build a Life On

    September 1st, 2019  |  33 mins 42 secs

    In a world of “soundbites,” “headlines,” and “memes,” it can be difficult to get to the truth of what someone is saying.
    In this sermon, Dr. Mark summarizes the Sermon on the Mount covering the highlights of Matthew chapters five, six, and seven to allow us to hear the sermon as a whole. Jesus is not giving us advice or another set of restrictive rules. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is teaching us that it is possible to become like Him in this life and live with him forever in the next!

  • The Community of Prayerful Love

    August 25th, 2019  |  30 mins 50 secs

    In a world filled with condemnation, the church can be a "community of prayerful love." Through offering compassion (and not condemnation!) and through prayer, we can look more and more like the community Jesus described in Matthew 7.

  • Letting Go of Worry

    August 18th, 2019  |  32 mins 40 secs

    We all experience worry—sometimes to the point that we can't think of anything else. But our worries can tell us what we truly treasure. Jesus teaches that when we learn to treasure what God treasures, we can let go of worry and find freedom.

  • How to Be Holy

    August 11th, 2019  |  32 mins 41 secs

    One of the primary hinderances to our ability to connect with God is the desire for the approval of others. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shares how to overcome this challenge and teaches us to live beyond the opinion of others.

  • A Life Without Anger

    Who is really well off? What is the good life? Dr. Mark Foster explores these questions in the first installment of our new series on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, "The Best Teaching You'll Ever Hear."

  • 232: Connecting All the Pieces

    July 21st, 2019  |  43 mins 2 secs

    We can go out in Jesus' protection and power because all authority on heaven and earth are his. He is Christ Pantocrator, Ruler of All. Be not afraid. We are in the wonderful and loving reign of Jesus the Christ.

  • 231: Building on a Firm Foundation

    July 14th, 2019  |  32 mins 45 secs

    We're often tempted to take the easy way out, but when we do so, we're like workers who build on a foundation of sand. Jesus shows us a better way, and when we build on the foundation of his teaching, we build a life that can endure.

  • 230: Follow the Instructions

    July 7th, 2019  |  39 mins 10 secs

    When building something, we start with the instructions, but instructions can't tell us how to deal with every situation. By exploring one of the most well-known sets of instructions—the Ten Commandments—we discover a pattern that shows us a way of life that's based in love.

  • Episode 229: Mission Outpost

    June 30th, 2019  |  32 mins 55 secs

    In the book of Acts, the Antioch Church was a church that dug deep and reached out. Like them, we too can dig deep with devotion, encouragement, and discipleship, as well as reach out through the Holy Spirit, to diverse groups, in love.

    June 23rd, 2019  |  37 mins 45 secs

    When we face transitions in life, we often must leave our comfort zones to reach the destination God desires for us. Rev. Andy and Melissa Nelms share about the apostles' adaptation to new circumstances in Acts 10 and how we can adapt when God calls us off the beaten path.
