Encore: Will Poulter, Dave Beran, and The Bear 52:22

17 days ago52:22

52:22

Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

In Pastor Tommy's sermon today we explore 1 Corinthians 3:16-23 and Paul’s powerful call to unity in the body of Christ. In a world that breeds division and self-centered wisdom, Paul reminds us that *we*—collectively—are God’s temple, where His Spirit dwells. This truth is spiritually regulating, calling us away from immaturity and individualism toward a Christ-centered identity that unites us in faith, purpose, and mission. True wisdom is found not in the fleeting philosophies of the age but in the power of Christ’s cross. As we embrace our shared identity in Him, we move toward spiritual maturity, deeper community, and a life shaped by sacrificial love.

The Dangerous Fire of God’s Presence | A Pentecost Sunday Sermon 36:57

3 days ago36:57

36:57

On Pentecost, God sent His presence not just to be with His people, but to dwell in them as tongues of fire. This fire wasn't new—it was the same holy, guiding, powerful, and purifying fire seen with Moses, Elijah, and Isaiah. In this sermon, we explore why the "dangerous" nature of God's fiery presence should inspire a transformative awe in every believer. Discover how the indwelling Holy Spirit works today to: Reveal God's Holiness Guide Us into All Truth Empower Us for His Mission Purify Us for His Glory Don't take the gift of His presence lightly. Learn to walk in the awesome, fearful, and life-changing reality of the fire within. Key Scriptures: Acts 2, Exodus 3, 1 Kings 18, Isaiah 6, John 16, 1 Peter 1.

A City of Light - Pt. 21 | 1 Corinthians 13a — Love That Transforms Community 42:58

11 days ago42:58

42:58

We’re continuing our series through 1 Corinthians by arriving at perhaps the most well-known passage in the letter: 1 Corinthians 13 —often quoted at weddings, yet rarely understood in its original context. This isn’t about romantic love. Paul isn’t writing to a bride and groom. He’s writing to a divided, gifted, self-focused church —a church a lot like ours. And in the midst of arguments over spiritual gifts, personal rights, and who’s more important, Paul offers a radical correction : the greatest gift isn’t prophecy, tongues, or faith—it’s love . In this message, we unpack: The communal context of 1 Corinthians 13 Why love is the essential foundation for every spiritual gift A deep dive into each attribute of biblical love—and how it challenges our modern assumptions How this love cannot be manufactured by effort but must be received from Christ and expressed through His Spirit 📖 “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels but have not love, I am nothing…” Paul’s portrait of love is not sentimental—it’s sacrificial, Spirit-empowered, and profoundly communal. If we want to be a church that shines in a dark world, this love must shape everything we are and everything we do. 📍 Series: A City of Light – A Study in 1 Corinthians 📖 Passage: 1 Corinthians 13:1–8 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Tommy Orlando 🔔 Subscribe to follow the rest of the City of Light series as we pursue a vision of the Church that lives, loves, and shines like Jesus. #CityOfLight #1Corinthians13 #LoveNeverFails #BiblicalLove #ChurchUnity #MercyHillChurch #BodyOfChrist #ChristianCommunity #SpiritualGifts #LoveInAction…

A City of Light - Pt. 20 | 1 Corinthians 12b — A Body That Shines 39:25

19 days ago39:25

39:25

In this message from our City of Light series through 1 Corinthians, we continue exploring Paul’s vision for a Spirit-empowered, unified, and selfless community of faith . In a world plagued by self-promotion and isolation, Paul calls the Church to something radically different: a body where every part matters , every gift is valued , and every believer belongs . Whether it’s the more “spectacular” spiritual gifts or the quieter gifts of helping, guiding, or encouraging— each one is indispensable . And when we honor one another's gifts, we defeat division, grow in empathy, and become the kind of Church that truly shines in a dark world. 📖 In this sermon, we’ll uncover: Why spiritual gifts are for the common good , not personal glory How the Church becomes a place of healing when we celebrate each other’s role The antidote to division and comparison in Christian community What it really means to “suffer with those who suffer and rejoice with those who rejoice” Why no one is insignificant in the body of Christ—and how YOU are part of God’s plan Let this be a call to activate your gift , encourage others , and live fully as a member of the body. You are not just welcome—you are needed . 📍 Series: City of Light – A Study in 1 Corinthians 📖 Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:21–31 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Tommy Orlando 🔔 Subscribe for more and join us as we grow into the kind of church that lives and loves like Jesus.…

A City of Light - Pt. 18 | 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 — Discerning the Body of Christ 42:11

4 weeks ago42:11

42:11

In this message from our ongoing series A City of Light: A Study in 1 Corinthians, we return to a powerful and often misunderstood passage—Paul’s teaching on the Lord’s Supper in 1 Corinthians 11. Too often, these verses are isolated and stripped from their greater context, missing Paul’s rebuke of a fractured, self-focused church and his call to radical, Christ-like community. What does it mean to “eat and drink in an unworthy manner”? Why is disunity such a dangerous threat to the Church? And how is true communion not just about remembering Christ individually, but embodying His sacrificial love together as His body? This sermon calls us to recover the depth and gravity of the Lord’s Supper—not just as a personal reflection, but as a community-defining act. We’ll explore:Why division in the church undermines our witness to the worldHow the Lord’s Supper is meant to form a family, not just individual believersWhat it truly means to “discern the body” and care for one another in humility and unityHow the broken body and shed blood of Jesus call us to a life of shared responsibility and sacrificial loveIf you’ve ever felt disconnected from the church or struggled to see how communion shapes Christian community, this message will challenge and encourage you to reclaim the power of the table—and the people around it.🔔 Subscribe for more messages from our City of Light series and join us as we seek to be a light shining in the darkness—together.#1Corinthians #LordSupper #ChristianCommunity #ChurchUnity #CityOfLight #Communion #BodyOfChrist #GospelLiving #ChurchLife…

1 Corinthians 10:13-33 After Easter, we return to 1 Corinthians, where Paul calls the church to resist idolatry and live in light of their identity in Christ. In a culture filled with competing allegiances, we are reminded: there is no neutral ground—our lives either reflect the One who redeemed us or align with the enemy.…

Palm Sunday is often remembered as a celebration — cloaks on the road, palm branches waving, and shouts of “Hosanna!” But what if we've missed the deeper message? In this sermon, we explore the tragedy behind the triumph, as Jesus weeps over Jerusalem and reveals the danger of false praise, false views of the Messiah, and false peace. Discover the powerful warning hidden in the crowd’s cheers — and how it still speaks to us today.#PalmSunday #luke19 #WorshipInTruth #FalseMessiah #JesusWept #TriumphalEntry…
