Avenue Church Podcast

This week we're kicking off a new sermon series, "Everyday Disciple". Continuing our marathon in Romans, today we're looking at some biblical examples of 'church vs politics', as well as the importance of living holy.

"The Way" sermon series is coming to an end today, and we're landing the plane for Romans 12. We're also sharing some updates to ministry roles at Avenue that will be coming down the pipeline, as well as testing out our new podcasting mixer.. Disclaimer.. the banter is strong today. Skip to 20 mins for the message portion.

These themes in Romans 12 paint us a beautiful picture of what loving others really looks like. How can we apply these truths? Thank you for joining us!

Spiritual gifting verses natural born talent; that's the topic on today's episode. Which correlates perfectly with this past week's sermon and our next section from Romans 12.

Continuing Romans 12, we're talking about how much 'belonging' to a local church matters, and the importance of using your gifts to help edify that body.

Romans 12 is packed full of deep theological truth, yet Paul lays it out in such simple terms for us. We're excited to start this new sermons series together, "The Way".

Wrapping our "Be Generous" series with some more conversations about what living generously looks like, feels like, and how we can assess ourselves to see what areas we may need to improve in. Thanks for listening!

Have you ever wanted to be more generous with your money, time, or material things, yet something held you back? These are things that Christian's may find themselves wrestling with often. How do we see past our selfishness and lean into something more?

It's that time of year again! Avenue is so excited for our Be Generous Campaign, which officially kicked off this past Sunday. On today's episode we're highlighting not only that but also some of the tension and events happening in our country from this past week.

This week we're still reeling over the excitement from our Avenue Birthday on September 6th. Today we're talking highlights as well as dreaming for future years to come at Avenue Church.

This week we're talking about giving, living generously, and tithing. These topics weren't taboo to Jesus, so they're not taboo for us either. Thanks for tuning in!

It's one of our favorite times of the year here at Avenue, our "Be Generous" campaign is getting started and today we're locked in and excited to share some stories about generosity!

We have finished our "One Story, One Salvation" series and today we're landing the plane, and going over what exactly Paul was saying in Romans 11.

Romans 10 is a powerful chapter in a powerful book, join us as we break down Pauls literature and ask ourselves the importance of faith, belief, and testimonies.

We open up our new series diving into Romans chapter 9! We discuss some of the deeper perspective on an ongoing debate within our faith. Calvinism, Arminianism, personal address?

Our "Summer in the Psalms" series is coming to an end, today's conversation is the culmination of the month as well as some detailed thoughts on Psalm 23.

We're in the 3rd week of our "Summer in the Psalms" series, the big idea this week was all around how living apart from God often feels good in the moment, but it isn't long lasting or true 'goodness'. Join us in our Psalm 73 discussion.

Today we're talking repentance, dealing with sin, shame, guilt and redemption; using Psalm 51 and this week's message as our guide.

Today we're starting a new sermon series: Summer in the Psalms. Each week will highlight a different Psalm and some applications for living in Christ. Today, it's 104, thanks for listening!

This week we're wrapping up the "Heart of the Gospel" series with Romans 8. We have a ton of scripture in today's podcast, so grab your bible and get ready to learn more about God's sacrifice and love for you.

What does Jesus' sacrifice for us tell us about what He thinks we're worth? Today we're talking about what it means to be justified by Christ. How we apply that, and more.

Thinking back over your life, how have you seen God work good out of suffering? Does knowing that God makes good out painful situations change the way you live your life? Today we're asking these questions, thanks for joining us!

Continuing in Romans, this week we're talking about how differently we live our lives when we are in expectation of not just Christ's return, but eternity with Him.

This week we're in Romans 8, talking about the Roman Adoption that Paul used as description to Christ's adoption of us.

Going over Romans 8 this week, we're tacking some difficult conversations about the desires of the flesh, vs the desires of the Spirit.

This past Sunday we started a new sermon series entitled, "Heart of the Gospel". Nate and Bill dropped some foundational heart-checks for us as we're learning where true freedom comes from.

This week we're wrapping up the "Freedom" series with the climactic finale; "Freedom from Performance". It's so easy to want to rely on our works when it comes to salvation, but that's not what Jesus teaches.

We're still in Romans and still have a lot to talk about; come along for this week's episode about finding freedom from what tempts you.

This week we're talking about sin and how easily it can control our lives, but there is a way out, and His name is Jesus.

Is there a decision from your past that changed your life forever? Today we're talking about how our past affects our future, and how the only secure future we have is in Jesus.

We don't have a sermon to go over this week, but we did have a great conversation about meal packing, serving and inviting.

The world offers many "cures" for hopelessness, but only there's only One true cure, and His name is Jesus. Today, we're unpacking that as we discuss this past Sunday's message.

Have you ever been disappointed? Maybe you'd had expectations that weren't met? Today we're using the book of Romans to dissect these feelings and try and look at biblical ways to overcome them.

This past Sunday's messages were all about faith and trust. Is there a difference? Should we think of them differently? What should faith look like in our lives? We'll go over all these and more on today's episode.

What does God think about our efforts and good deeds; can these things save us? If not, then what does? We'll answer this and more on today's episode!

Today we're asking a ton of you guys' questions, including the one that sparked them all from this week's message; Why did Jesus have to die? Thanks for listening!

Do we understand the cost of our sin? What is Paul talking about in Romans 3? Today we're going over all that and more on today's episode, thanks for listening!

At what point in our faith can we finally reach Righteousness? Do we ever reach it? We're asking these questions and more on today's episode, thanks for listening!

In this episode we dive into the Gospel and what it means to live unashamed lives. We discuss what it means to be fully committed and willing to be all in for the Good News of Jesus. Living transformed instead of just seeking to transcend.
