A Reason to Rescue

Who wants to take a hard look at hell? No one. And yet, Jesus spoke more consistently about the horrors of hell than any other person in the New Testament. Why did he do that? What does he want us to know about hell? And how is this supposed to change the way we live? Listen as our guest preacher, Pastor Jim Donohue, pastors us through these questions with both passion and gentleness.

The Shame He Endured; The Honor He Won

What is shame? Shame is the feeling that you are fundamentally flawed, unworthy, and unacceptable—not just because of what you’ve done, but because of who you are.
Jesus was rejected by men, and rejected by God Himself, as our substitute. He bore your shame and became an outcast so that He might give to you His acceptance and make you a son or daughter of God. Listen as guest preacher Josh Pannell takes us through this passage.

True Christian Generosity

One of the defining characteristics of generosity that is uniquely christian, that is driven by faith rather than our humanity, is its intentional focus towards those who can do nothing to repay it. Listen as Doug Hayes brings us through this look at what Jesus says about generosity.

The Compassionate Father

One of the most important things that the Bible teaches us about fatherhood is the essential role of compassion. It is essential to how our Heavenly Father relates to His children, and it is essential to how earthly fathers should relate to their children. Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on where compassion comes from and how it changes how we raise our children.

Two Gardens, Two Trees

Jesus’ resurrection is the dawn of something brand new. It is the dawn of a new day. It turns out, the darkest day in history was about to give birth to the brightest day in history—and one that would infuse the darkness with hope. Listen as Pastor Tim walks us through these passages from the book of John.

The Betrayal of Jesus

Betrayal. It’s one of the hardest, most painful experiences we can have. We wonder, “What good could ever come out of this?” In this Good Friday sermon, Pastor Josh reminds us that Judas’ betrayal of Jesus is a central part of the gospel narratives. It was the act that set Jesus’ arrest, trial, and eventual crucifixion into motion. Jesus knew that it was coming, and yet he didn’t intervene to stop it. Why? Listen as Pastor Josh explains.
