Isolation
09/11/2021 Duración: 45minWhy do we find ourselves struggling alone? We have the desire for connection, but there's something that holds us back from pursuing people. Isolation is the pit that keeps us from working through life's harshness and having healthy relationships. Loneliness, Seclusion, Isolation — Jesus felt it too. How do we draw near to the One who has been in our shoes before? This week we are launching a new series looking at different seasons we find ourselves in. Join us as we ask hard questions and pursue answers together in In This Season.

Hope for the End Times
25/10/2021 Duración: 46minThe end times are clearly here, right? Wars, famine, natural disasters - all are signs that the end is coming, but do we really know when? More importantly, do we know how to respond? If you’re a Christian what are you called to do? This week, Pastor Jason leads us through 1 Peter 4 where Peter talks through the end being near and how we should live in light of this truth. Join us as we discover how God has wired us for this moment in time and how to live out the calling on our lives.

Hope in Suffering
19/10/2021 Duración: 45minDoesn't it seem like everyone is on edge right now? We have to be reminded to be kind and gentle even in the grocery store lines. The truth is we are surrounded by a suffering world. People are hurting. We ourselves may be experiencing pain, but this week we are reminded how to be a blessing even to someone walking through massive trials. Pastor Jason teaches us through 1 Peter 3 that we can take a posture of a blessing, because ultimately Jesus established His victory through His suffering.

Hope in Everyday Life

This passage casts a vision for having humility under hard leaders to follow in government, the workplace, and in the home. Listen in to see how!

A Hope Proclaiming People
05/10/2021 Duración: 41minMost of us want to feel accepted and welcomed. But in this week’s passage, Peter literally tells us that following Jesus will make us “strangers and aliens in this world.” Christians are indeed going to look so different from the world, that at times, they will even be rejected. What does that mean? And can that possibly be a good thing? This week, Pastor Nolan looks at the idea that Christians are a contrast community in three ways. Listen in to learn more.

Called to Hope
20/09/2021 Duración: 41minNo one understands what I'm going through. I'm so confused. I'm in so much pain. I'm alone.

Propitiation
13/09/2021 Duración: 34minIf God is so loving, why was the brutality of the cross necessary? Couldn’t God just forgive sin? Are we really supposed to believe in the old religious notion that God is an angry and vengeful judge? Does God actually feel and act upon wrath? This week we explore this concept in depth from Scripture. We’ll dig into the doctrine of Propitiation as Scott Bean teaches through Romans. Our hearts are changed when we truly understand this horrifying and beautiful doctrine. Join us in the final week of “What’s the Point of the Cross?”

Sanctification
06/09/2021 Duración: 44minAre you constantly fighting sin? Do you find yourself relapsing and living your old life? Are you seeking perfection, but find that you are failing? The truth is you're going to sin. You will fail over and over again. But God is not shocked by your failure. Only God is perfectly holy. But by the cross, and in His goodness, we get to partner with him in a process called Sanctification. This week, Pastor Jason opens up Philippians 3 to reveal that God is not done with us yet. His love for us is so great that He allows us to walk with Him and become more like him through regular repentance and seeking Him. Join us as we learn to be transformed in this week's sermon, Sanctification.

Expiation
30/08/2021 Duración: 40minYou know that moment when you want to hide? The feeling of being exposed - almost naked - because of your own sin or something done to you? That's shame. There's no other feeling like it in this world. Do you live with that as your reality? Do you constantly feel the need to cover up and live in a disguise, so that you don't have to face the truth? This week, Pastor Nolan teaches us the theology of Expiation. We learn that Jesus came to blot out, bury, banish, bleach, and finally, to bear our shame by dying on the cross. Why? Because he wants us to live the life he originally intended before sin entered this world — a life of freedom from shame. Join us for Week 03 of What is the Point of the Cross?
-
Justification
23/08/2021 Duración: 38minJustice — it's a word we use constantly. We want to see people brought to justice. We want justice for the evil of this world, but we want mercy for ourselves. But the truth is all of us, every single one will stand before Christ in judgment. But why? Aren't you good enough? Not really that bad? Or not the one to blame? God in his holiness, righteousness, and justice will not allow us to go without judgment. It is in His love that He requires a price to be paid for the sins in this world. But how does he do it? Only by Jesus' finished work on the cross. The only way the broken things can be made right is by His grace, through faith in Him alone. Do you understand Justification? Join us for week 02 in What's the Point of the Cross?

Christus Victor
16/08/2021 Duración: 45minMost of us recognize and understand the evil in this world, but do we truly understand the enormous power of the Cross? The cross is everywhere, and it seems so simple — it's how Jesus died, but what happened when he was hung there? The cross is packed with enormous power that makes us no longer dead in sin, but alive in Christ. So how do you battle spiritually for your life? How do you engage against the evil that you come against constantly? Join us as Pastor Nolan walks us through Colossians 2 to show us that we are not made to fight the battle, but to stand on the finished work of Christ. This is Christus Victor in Week 01 of What's the Point of the Cross?

Outpouring
10/08/2021 Duración: 41minWhen you think of your relationship with God do you feel like you are pouring out your all for Him? Are there areas of your life that you’ve kept to yourself? In this last week in the series Worthy, Pastor Nolan leads us through Luke 7, a story of a woman that defied culture and religiosity to give Jesus everything she had - her safety, her dignity, her money… her everything. Join us as we are compelled to ask, what can we give to the God who outpoured all He had for us?

Work | Aug 1
03/08/2021 Duración: 36minWork. Just hearing that word do you cringe? Do you hate the thought of hustling for 40 hours a week, and long for the weekend? Do you live with the mindset that you work to live instead of live to work? What if that was flipped on its head? What if you woke up each morning hungry for the day ahead? This week, Pastor Jason walks us through a Theology of Work. He shows us that God gave us work not as a curse, but as a blessing. Through the Gospel, Jesus has redeemed work. Join us as we walk through this transformative message.

Aware
26/07/2021 Duración: 44minDoes it sometimes feel like God is far away? Do you feel like He is out of reach? The truth is that God is not absent. His presence is fully here — with you, right now. God is not constrained by time or space. So why don't we feel Him? In Week 05 of Worthy, Pastor Jason walks us through a theology of Presence. We see that it's not about God’s lack of presence... it's about our awareness of His presence, fully with us at all times, in all situations. Join us as we become more aware of Him — in our work, our worship, and our prayer.
