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.

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.

What values should shape our times of singing together? How should we sing? What should we sing? We may think that decisions like these should be pragmatically driven (what works?), but they’re really supposed to be theologically driven (what’s true?). Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on the three dimensions of singing.

The Bible gives us many portraits of a godly woman. A helper for her husband. A wise and generous merchant. A radically devoted follower of Christ. These verses give us another portrait of a woman who intentionally dresses modestly and devotes herself to good works. Why is modesty important when it comes to femininity, and how do we teach about its importance to our children in a wise and helpful way? Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on how true modesty and true beauty must always be rooted in the gospel.

What comes to mind when you think about masculinity? A well-dressed gentleman? A bearded hunter? A corporate executive? A muscular brute?

Passage: 1 Timothy 2:8
Series: Standalone
All Christians face a common struggle – the mismatch between hearing and doing the word. Often, we hear a lot but do little. This struggle can push us to a very dangerous direction, that we show little concern about this mismatch. We may even convince ourselves with biblical material, that merely hearing the Word without doing anything is enough. Listen as Pastor Fengyu walks us through James 1:22-27 and shows us that God desires us to be doers of His word after hearing it.

What would you say if the Bible compared you to a brick? That is exactly what the Apostle Peter does in 1 Peter 2:4-10. Christians are “living stones” that Christ is building up to become a “spiritual house”. What does that mean? Listen as Pastor Josh explains the significance of this metaphor for life in the church.

We live in what has been called an “epidemic of anxiety”. Our culture deals with anxiety through therapy, medication, and/or removal of triggers. What does the Bible say? Psalm 27 provides us with one example of how an ancient king brought his anxieties to God and found relief. Listen as Pastor Josh shows us how this beloved Psalm gives us tools to bring our anxieties to God.

So, what are we teaching them now, and what should we be teaching the next generation? Listen as Dr. Larry McCall reveals to us from the Psalms the most foundational and central lessons we can be passing along to young people in our lives.
