Good News for This Life | Galatians 2.9-21
Sunday Feb 24, 2019
Sunday Feb 24, 2019
Is the Gospel the entry point to eternal life?
Or the reference point for all of life?
Is the Gospel a line that you cross to ensure life in eternity?
Or a line that runs through every part of life right now?
Pastor John looks at Paul's confrontation with Peter to see how the Gospel changes how we look at ourselves in the mirror, who we sit down with at the table, and the reference point for everything in our lives. You'll see what Christians have in common with the Pro Bowl, and how slavery might have gone very differently had people walked in line with the Gospel.

The Gospel is God's Good News | Galatians 1.10-2.10
Sunday Feb 17, 2019
Sunday Feb 17, 2019
The Gospel is God's Good News. In an age of manipulative news, filtered images and targeted messages, God's Good News hasn't changed. It hasn't changed, in fact, for 2,000 years. Pastor John unpacks Galatians 1:10-2:10 to show us the Gospel is Good News of God's GRACE, the Gospel is God's TRUTH, and the Gospel is God's one message for ALL PEOPLE.

No Other Gospel | Galatians 1:1-12
Sunday Feb 10, 2019
Sunday Feb 10, 2019
Starting off our Galatians series, Pastor John talks about two ways to approach God: relying on what's been done for you, or by relying on something you do. One is the Gospel of grace. The other is no gospel at all.

A House of Prayer for All Nations | Isaiah 56:1-8
Sunday Feb 03, 2019
Sunday Feb 03, 2019
Is prayer about a method? Or a commitment? Or perseverance? Looking at Isaiah 56, Pastor Gordon says that prayer starts with, and is first and foremost about, God's intimate terms with us. Long before we open our mouths in prayer, the Spirit and the Son are already praying for us. When we understand this, we pray.

Cross Fit #4 | Watch Out
Sunday Jan 27, 2019
Sunday Jan 27, 2019
Fitness fads fade away, but not before the gimmick has distracted you from real fitness: working out and eating right. The Bible also talks about gimmicks that seem to lead you closer to Jesus, but are actually leading you away to false teaching. And false teaching can be deadly. In the last sermon in our CrossFit series, Pastor John talks about how a spiritually fit church does not fall for false teaching. You'll learn to discern two false teachings in the church, and several gimmicks we need to learn to discern.

Cross Fit #3 | Fuel Up
Sunday Jan 20, 2019
Sunday Jan 20, 2019
The body needs fuel to resource working out. The church requires financial resources to do the work of God. But with so many bad pictures of giving and the church and money, where do we look for a good picture of generosity. In our third sermon in our "Cross Fit" series, Pastor John unpacks 2 Corinthians 8-9 to show us what motivates generosity.

Cross Fit #2 | Step Up
Sunday Jan 13, 2019
Sunday Jan 13, 2019
Physical fitness involves our minds and our thoughts, and so does spiritual fitness. In the second sermon in the Cross Fit series, Pastor John talks about how right thinking leads us to step up and use our spiritual gift to build up the body of Christ. You'll hear about "push-up Tuesday", how you know if you understand God's mercy, and why people often don't step up and serve in the church.

Cross Fit #1 | Show Up
Monday Jan 07, 2019
Monday Jan 07, 2019
As we start our January series "Cross Fit", Pastor John shares how the number one rule of physical fitness is the same number one rule of Christian community: Show Up. Unpacking Hebrews 10:19-25, he talks about how Jesus showed up on our behalf, a church in China showing up despite persecution, and the shortcomings of church apps. Please note, the quality of this sermon recording was not as crisp and clear as normal. We will fix this for next week.

Deep Change in 2019 | Genesis 38
Sunday Dec 30, 2018
Sunday Dec 30, 2018
As we reflect on 2018 and look towards 2019, how do we get the deep change we want in our lives? Often we are afraid to admit who we really are, and cover over our shame with self-righteousness. Pastor John unpacks the story of Judah and Tamar from Genesis 38, one of the most bizarre and scandalous passages in the Bible. And in this story, we see that God is committed to changing messed-up people and using their messed-up messes for His purposes.
