The Pursuit of God | Part 3 - The God Who Sees 38:06

3d ago38:06

38:06

In a busy world with so many voices clamoring for attention, it would be easy to feel lost in the crowd. Does anyone see me? Does anyone hear me? Does anyone care? And if there is a God, does He see me or care about my life? Join us for part 3 of The Pursuit of God, where we will learn how God sees us even when we can’t see Him.…

The Pursuit of God | Part 2 - Following Directions 35:43

8d ago35:43

35:43

Studies have shown that more than half of those who use GPS ignore the directions they get from it. It is probably no surprise that men ignore the directions far more than women! Ignoring directions may not be a big deal when navigating to a new restaurant or assembling furniture from Ikea. But it can have serious consequences when the directions c…

The Pursuit of God | Part 1 - Father Abraham 34:17

17d ago34:17

34:17

There is a Chinese proverb that says, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” The same can be said about our pursuit of God. A single act of faith is the key to finding God, His purpose, and His ways. Join us for a series from Genesis 11-25 about Abraham and Isaac and how their pursuit of God reminds us that those who seek God …

This Is Us | Part 10 - It’s Not About Us 39:20

26d ago39:20

39:20

Unlike any other organization or institution, the church does not exist primarily for the benefit of its members. The Church is not about us; it’s about Him. And because God has called us to make Him known to the ends of the earth, the church must also be about “them” – those who have yet to be reached with the message of the Gospel. Join us for th…

This Is Us | Part 9 - We Are a Family of Pastors 27:47

29d ago27:47

27:47

Celebrity culture is a billion-dollar industry. Social media influencers and celebrities rely on public exposure (good and bad) to maintain their power. Jesus was a celebrity in first-century Palestine. Religious and political leaders knew His name, and thousands flocked to hear Him teach. But Jesus never relied on His celebrity. In fact, He was wi…

This Is Us | Part 8 - We Are Handcrafted 33:09

1M ago33:09

33:09

Henry Ford is often credited with the creation of the modern assembly line. This simple concept revolutionized industry around the world. Assembly lines are great for products but terrible for people. Whether it is the automated voice system answering your calls or the self-check line at your favorite big box store, we have all experienced the frus…

This Is Us | Part 7 - We Are Locally Grown 37:21

1M ago37:21

37:21

Life is full of transitions. Sometimes we choose the transition and sometimes it is forced upon us. Whatever leads us to it, change is an opportunity to grow and serve God as we commit to following Him. Join us for part 7 of This Is Us, where we will learn that God is calling us to bloom wherever He plants us.…

This Is Us | Part 6 - We Believe Love Will Keep Us Together 28:11

2M ago28:11

28:11

They exist everywhere. Little contradictions that are sometimes humorous and sometimes downright disturbing. From driving on a parkway and parking in a driveway to the endorsement of slavery by a nation whose founding document states that all men are created equal. But what happens when the message of the Gospel is contradicted by the church that i…

This Is Us | Part 5 - We Are Gospel-Centered 39:28

2M ago39:28

39:28

Twenty years ago, no one had a smartphone, and few had social media accounts. Twenty years before that, no one had heard of e-mail or the Internet. One hundred years before that, people relied on a horse and buggy for transportation. Technology and culture continue to change at an accelerated rate. With all that has changed, how has the church endu…

This Is Us | Part 4 - We Measure Success Differently 31:18

2M ago31:18

31:18

Companies and organizations measure their success and report it to their stakeholders. How much did we make (or lose)? What was our quarterly growth (or decline)? Did we come in on time and under budget (or is someone getting fired)? The institutional church also has a set of metrics it uses to measure its success. How many people were in worship t…

This Is Us | Part 3 - We Are Making, Not Faking Disciples 35:47

3M ago35:47

35:47

This Is Us | Part 2 - We Are Upper Room People 34:00

3M ago34:00

34:00

When Jesus gathered His disciples in the Upper Room, they were confronted with the price He would pay for their redemption. After the Resurrection, Jesus again met His Disciples in the Upper Room, and it was there that the church was born. Join us for part two of This is Us, where we will discover that Jesus-centered communities are built by people…

This Is Us | Part 1 - We Are a New Kind of Family 37:32

3M ago37:32

37:32

From the fall in Genesis to the final scene of Revelation, the Bible tells the story of how God is building a new kind of community—a people He set apart for His glory. But from its very beginning, controversy has surrounded the Church. People throughout history—insiders and outsiders alike—have struggled to understand the Church and its mission. J…

Easter Sunday | True and Useful 36:04

3M ago36:04

36:04

We are constantly inundated with information. To manage this persistent flow, many people ask two simple questions: Is it true, and is it useful? Join us on Easter Sunday as we consider the claim that God raised Jesus from the dead by answering those two questions. Is it true? And is it useful?By Gary Lee Webber

Cross Walk | Part 2 - The Criminals’ Cross 33:41

4M ago33:41

33:41

Long before His arrest, Jesus told His disciples that if they wanted to follow Him, they would have to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. It is doubtful the disciples fully understood what Jesus meant. Even two thousand years after His crucifixion, understanding what it means to bear Jesus’ cross can be difficult. Join us for a s…

The Care and Feeding of the Human Soul | Part 6 - Your Soul Needs Satisfaction 35:11

5M ago35:11

35:11

For advertisers to sell their products, they must generate a sense of need. They often do this by exploiting feelings of dissatisfaction in their potential customers. Advertisers recognize what many of us do not, that the human soul needs satisfaction. Join us for part 6 of The Care and Feeding of The Human Soul, where we will discuss the dangers o…

5M ago28:51

28:51

From medicine to technology, plastic surgery to space exploration, humans have been on a constant quest for meaning and eternal life. From the moment we were exiled from the Garden and lost access to the Tree of Life, all striving has been an effort to regain eternity. Why? Because our souls need a future.

Sinkholes cost Floridians an average of $300,000,000 every year. This threat goes largely unseen until it is too late. Likewise, our souls might be in danger of suddenly collapsing if they are not centered on the proper foundation.

34:47

“Who is responsible for that?” This is the question asked about everything from cleaning the kitchen to paying the national debt. In a world where it seems like we are encouraged to take responsibility for less and less, it is no wonder that so many have failed to take responsibility for the care and feeding of their soul. Join us as we learn three…

The Care and Feeding of the Human Soul | Part 1 - What is the Soul? 36:50

6M ago36:50

36:50

A recent study found that the average American spent $722 on health and beauty products and services in 2023, with Gen Zers spending more than double that at $1,754. While our society pursues eternal youth and beauty, another part of our human being goes largely ignored – our souls. The evidence of this oversight is obvious when you consider the gr…

Joy to the World | Part 6 - 85 Hours in the Word 28:07

6M ago28:07

28:07

If I could see the world like you, I would think and act differently. Our perspective on life and truth is limited, but what if we could access God’s perspective?

Joy to the World | Part 5 - The Wonders of His Love 21:38

6M ago21:38

21:38

The greatest expression of love the world has ever known arrived with little recognition and no fanfare. Jesus was born in a barn and laid in a manger. He never wrote a book, held political office, or traveled more than 200 miles from where He was born. He never did any of the things that we associate with greatness, yet because of His death and re…

Joy to the World | Part 4 - Far as the Curse Is Found 22:44

7M ago22:44

22:44

Ask any gardener and they can tell you about the curse of weeds and thorns that infest the ground. It will require work if you want to grow flowers, vegetables, or a beautiful yard. The things we don’t want will grow without effort, while the things we want require constant attention. This is the nature of sin in our lives and the world. Join us fo…

Joy to the World | Part 3 - Repeat the Sounding Joy 22:50

7M ago22:50

22:50

If Luke were writing his Gospel today, his version of the Christmas story might very well be a Broadway musical! In chapter one, Luke shares the songs of Zechariah and Mary, and in chapter two, all heaven breaks into song as the angels announce the birth of Jesus. But this Broadway production wasn’t performed for the elite, but for those the world …

7M ago21:35

21:35

We sing it every year, “Joy to the World, the Lord Has Come!” But what does that mean? With war, injustice, and division all around, how can Christians believe that a baby born two thousand years ago has brought joy to the world? Join us for part two of Joy to the World, where we will discover God’s conspiracy to overturn the corruption of this wor…

8M ago38:13

38:13

We see it in almost every institution. Our government is paralyzed by it. Schools, corporations, and media are defined by it. Our courts are overrun because of it. The fracturing and division of our society can make it seem as if everything is coming apart at the seams. Then what is the Church’s answer? Unfortunately, too often the same division we…

Throughout the fall, you see it – faces painted, flags waving, fight songs sung with pride. Football fans loudly cheer on their favorite teams. We’ve come to accept this harmless form of tribalism as a part of our culture. Fans pulling for opposite teams on Saturday are the best of friends on Sunday. But what happens when our faith becomes tribal? …

One of the most repeated arguments against the existence of God in general and the truth of Christianity in particular has come to be known as “the problem of pain.” The argument goes something like this: “How could an all-powerful, all-loving God allow the kind of pain and suffering we experience in this world?” Even if you believe in God and call…

39:27

The call to “be joyful” or “rejoice” is repeated more than 300 times in the Bible, making it one of the most repeated commands in all Scripture. But how are we supposed to be “joyful in all circumstances” when so many of them are bad? Does God cause or allow challenging circumstances to come into our lives, and if so, why?
