Mark 1:35-38 // What does the metaphorical "bedroom" represent in our lives, habits, priorities? We will discuss... Public vs. Private spaces... Intimacy with God... Healthy Boundaries ... Singleness as the Ideal... Marriage as a Concession... Celebrating the Lookup...

Luke 7:34 “The Son of Man has come eating and drinking…” What if your dining room is more sacred than you realized? This week at Sideris Church, we explored how Jesus used the table as one of His primary ways of bringing people into grace, friendship, healing, and reconciliation. In the Gospels, Jesus is constantly going to a meal, at a meal, or leaving one. The dining room becomes the place where status is leveled, thanksgiving is shared honestly, and grace is exchanged deeply. From the Last Supper in Luke 22 to Jesus eating with tax collectors and sinners, we see a Savior who came “eating and drinking” as part of His mission to seek and save the lost. Around the table, enemies become friends, strangers become family, and heaven’s hospitality breaks into the present moment. In this message, we reflect on: • Why conviction is a gift, not a guilt trip • What it means to build life on the rock by hearing and doing Jesus’ words • How shared meals become spaces of reconciliation and grace • Why the table matters so deeply in the Kingdom of God • Practical ways to redesign our schedules, homes, and habits around hospitality As we redesign our lives around Jesus’ way, we begin bringing our future heavenly home into the present one meal at a time. Scripture References: Luke 22 Luke 7:33–34 Matthew 7:24–27 Mark 10:45 Luke 19:10 If this message encouraged you, consider subscribing, sharing it with a friend, or inviting someone to your table this week.
Hebrews 13:1-8 -- Room #2 -- The Living Room The central theme of this teaching series is that Christians are called to let Jesus Christ, as their spiritual "interior designer," intentionally rearrange the priorities, habits, and hospitality of their lives to mirror the kingdom of heaven. The home serves as a metaphor for the human soul and daily conduct. Much like a physical house, your life contains various "rooms"—representing your finances, time, and relationships—that Jesus desires to renovate. By partnering your personal agency with His divine guidance, you allow your present earthly existence to gradually resemble your future heavenly one. This process is not about earning salvation; rather, it is an act of worship that reflects God’s glory to a world in need. When we ignore this redesign, we risk living in a way that obscures God's character, potentially misrepresenting the nature of faith to those around us. Living out this faith is impossible on your own, which is why we must rely on the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Embracing conviction is a "portal to transformation," not a sign of failure. By remaining in constant communication with Jesus through every small decision, you deepen your relationship with Him. Ultimately, when we open our lives to His design, we fulfill our purpose as image-bearers of God, shining a light that reveals His creative genius to the world. Scripture References in this episode: Hebrews 13:1-8 CSB Hebrews 12:25-29 CSB 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 CSB Hebrews 13:2 NIV Genesis 18:1-8 CSB
We're super excited to jump into the next room in our room by room tour of our metaphorical house as we ask Jesus for interior design tips. As Dave shared last Sunday, we won't be giving you the upcoming room we for prep -- at least for now -- but come excited to enjoy whatever comes next. Reference Verse: Hebrews 13:1-8 CSB Hebrews 12:25-29 CSB 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 CSB Hebrews 13:2 NIV Genesis 18:1-8 CSB Listen in on the introductory sermon for this new series as we discuss the big picture and the first "room" in our series on spiritual interior design.

Colossians 3:1–4 and Romans 12:1-2 ... Front Porch living makes us much more “incarnational” and “interruptible” but is also much less private and controllable... which is why so many of us moved our lives to the backyard, both literally and spiritually.

Acts 2 | We've always slowed down to take the meaningful steps from Good Friday to Resurrection Sunday to Ascension Sunday, and this Sunday we've decided to take one more to explore the inauguration of the church on the Hebrew day of Pentecost. Join us as we learn about Pentecost--what it meant for the early Church, and what it means for us today.
We will be taking the Sunday after Resurrection Sunday to discuss the next event in the history of Jesus’ life and the Jesus movement — The Ascension. These days, it is often an overlooked part of the historical account, but it was not for the Apostles or the early church. So come this Sunday to learn about its importance and be reminded of the reason it’s not the full gospel without it!

Philippians 4:8-9 || Through the pen of Paul, God commands us “Dwell on THESE things.” What are "these things" and what will the effect be? We will come to see that "dwelling" means more than mere passive awareness, but demands our active consideration and reflection. Paul emphasizes that genuine knowledge of the good, the true, and the beautiful requires that we practice such things as well.

Philippians 3:17-21 It's a joy to look up into the heavens with you all each Sunday as we sing and proclaim the mysteries of the gospel, the gospel that assures us there is a kingdom above that God has granted us access to by His mercy and grace. It's a realm our souls long for and one that Paul assures us has the capacity to provide meaning and energy for every single day we pursue it here on earth. I can't wait to unpack all these kingdom dynamics present at the end of chapter 3 together.

Philippians 3:1-11 | We're looking forward to continuing our journey through Philippians this Sunday. If you remember, Pastor Dave provided the context for Paul's warning to the church he had founded: "Watch out! There are religious dogs that have a habit of harassing the gospel communities I establish!" This week we will move on to look at the next logical consideration which is: "And watch out for that dog within!" What's great about a consideration like this is that it provides us the opportunity to think about how God uniquely draws near to each of us whispering messages of life that resonate with our hearts to bring us joy.

Philippians 2:19-30 | This Sunday, we get to look at two men of faith in Philippians 2 -- Timothy and Epaphroditus. These men were used by God to minister to Paul's tangible needs and are also responsible for taking the message of God's Grace to many in their day. For this work Paul honors them both, but what's more, God has honored them in an unbelievable way by preserving their story for us to learn from.

Philippians 2:12-14 | On this first Sunday of 2026 we get to hear from "the professor" as he teaches us how to read our Bibles for all they are worth. He will do this while simultaneously unpacking a historically "pointy" passage, wrought with all sorts of landmines. It just happens to be the next verse we encounter in our study of Philippians, chapter 2. So what does Paul mean -- and not mean -- when he writes "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" and how can we live out this verse in the healthiest of ways.

The Coming of Strange Love is an Advent sermon that explores the unexpected, disruptive, and transformative love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. As we prepare our hearts during the Advent season, this message invites us to reflect on a love that does not arrive gently or predictably—but enters the world in humility, sacrifice, and grace. Drawing from Scripture and the themes of Advent, this sermon challenges common assumptions about love, power, and salvation. Rather than meeting our expectations, God’s love comes to us in surprising ways—calling us to repentance, hope, and renewed faith. This message is especially relevant for anyone wrestling with doubt, longing for meaning, or seeking deeper spiritual renewal during the Christmas season. Whether you are walking through Advent devotionally, listening as part of a sermon series, or simply searching for a Christ-centered reflection, this episode offers biblical insight and encouragement rooted in the gospel.
