What are we here for? A meaningful life requires a satisfying answer to that question. In this sermon we explore the purposes for which God created the world and consider why “the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.”

We live in a world that envisions freedom as the absence of obligations. But it turns out that our deepest freedom comes from embracing duty and responsibility. In this sermon we explore Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 11), where Jesus shows us the human goodness of fulfilling our duties and obligations toward our neighbors.

Ein Parfüm, ein Putzmittel, ein Deo, und du merkst sofort: Hier ist zu viel. In dieser Folge geht es um Geruchsempfindlichkeit bei Hochsensiblen: was im akuten Moment hilft und wie du deinen Alltag langfristig geruchsärmer gestaltest.

What does it mean to be human? Psalm 8 answers this question by portraying human beings as both glorious and limited. God has “crowned us with glory and honor” as persons made in his image. He has also made us “a little lower than the angels,” reminding us that we are finite and limited. In this sermon we explore the wisdom of Psalm 8 to discover how embracing both our glory and our limits is key to human flourishing.

Seasons of spiritual dryness are a familiar experience for God's people. We often respond to these seasons by quietly going numb, settling for empty routines while hoping something changes. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 85 and discover how looking to the cross — where God's perfect righteousness and peace embrace — sets us free to actively seek renewal.

The record of significant events orchestrated in the providence of God to advance His purposes in history provide occasion to introduce characters of consequence in the book of Esther.  Among them, Mordecai, Esther's cousin & adoptive father, and Esther (Hadassah) herself.  Last message we asked: “Where is God in Esther?” (Our heading question introducing the book). The answer continues to unfold with the record of divinely directed circumstances which arrange the causes in such a way that the effects advance the will of God to ransom a people despite the odds which only serve to compound the testimony of His glory.  Themes introduced as the story opens serve to reinforce the message of the book showcasing the glory of God on the theater of history.

24 No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.Nemo potest duobus dominis servire : aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget : aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonae. 25 Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?Ideo dico vobis, ne solliciti sitis animae vestrae quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum? 26 Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?Respicite volatilia caeli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea : et Pater vester caelestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis? 27 And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum? 28 And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.Et de vestimento quid solliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt : non laborant, neque nent. 29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis. 30 And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?Si autem foenum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos modicae fidei? 31 Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?Nolite ergo solliciti esse, dicentes : Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur? 32 For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.haec enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis. 33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.Quaerite ergo primum regnum Dei, et justitiam ejus : et haec omnia adjicientur vobis.[24] "Mammon": That is, riches, worldly interest.St Cajetan endeavored to imitate the Apostles in absolute poverty. He died A.D. 1547.

What if the secret to filling your hygiene schedule isn't chasing new patients, it's calling your existing ones? In this episode, Kendall sits down with Greg Brooks, Managing Director at Global Strategic, to talk through how remote staffing is helping practices fix one of their biggest blind spots: hygiene reactivation. Greg breaks down why local teams struggle to keep up with consistent outreach, how a dedicated remote team can turn a 3 to 5% rebooking rate into 45 to 50%, and why that shift ripples into treatment acceptance too. He also gets honest about where offshore staffing goes wrong when practices skip the onboarding and communication piece that makes it actually work.

All of us long to BE someplace. Psalm 84 shows us the place we're meant to be is in the presence of God. So why don't we long for God's presence like we ought? And how can we awaken a deeper longing? In this sermon, we explore Psalm 84's invitation to long for God's dwelling place, and we discover how Jesus fulfills this Psalm and brings us near to God.        

Paul's letter reads like a lone voice crying in the wilderness of a pagan empire. Paul reveals in our text that he had pushback on other missionary fronts in addition to opposition he faces in Corinth as the truth of Christianity clashed with the sinful philosophy of the day.   Yet here we are over 2000 years later, and his voice has decisively won the battle of history. It is difficult these days to find the published works of Christ's enemies the apostle confronted at the time, yet more copies of Paul's writings remain in print than any other book in human history.   This is the kind of victorious triumph we would expect to follow the resurrected and reigning Messiah.   What Paul proclaimed in faith at the time has only been confirmed with every generation since, calling us yet today to wake up from our stupor to proclaim and serve our risen and ascended Lord Jesus Christ.

What if the reason you're still buried in emails has nothing to do with how many hours are in your day? Jordin McEntire sits down with Jackie Brown, Global Head of HR at SupportDDS, who spent years working alongside doctors at a DSO with 75 practices and 200 clinicians. She kept seeing the same thing play out. Owners were still managing their own schedules, still answering their own emails, long after they'd outgrown that job. Jackie explains why she built the Executive Excellence Academy to train executive assistants who think ahead of problems instead of just reacting to them, and why SupportDDS holds turnover down to 6.2% when the industry average runs far higher. She breaks down what real support actually looks like, from protecting an owner's priorities to running daily check-ins that keep the whole day on track, and what changes for a practice once that kind of support is finally in place.  

Everyone has enemies. Opposition is part of what it means to be human in a broken world. In this sermon, we look at Psalm 83 and its stark call for God to judge his enemies. We learn how God's justice frees us to radically forgive and love others—remembering that Christ died to save us while we were still His enemies.

Proverbs 19:23 serves well as a theme verse to outline this chapter of Solomon's collection of wise sayings.   This verse reprises the meta-theme of wisdom literature: ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom', attaching it to practical blessings.   According to Solomon : “the fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied, he will not be visited by harm.”   As with other statements of this nature in the book, the qualifying context of these promises is assumed.   First, the ordinary application:   Generally speaking, taking the exhortation of Proverbs as your day to day operating system, it will tend to result in positive outcomes   as you realize its life enhancing potential. 2nd: we are mindful in Christ of the ultimate application: Fear of the Lord, as fruit of regeneration in the heart of the believer, will secure our quality of life eternally.   Solomon instructs us how we who submit to Christ should live in the meantime for our own good and His glory.

Every human being is entrusted with some level of authority, yet we frequently distort this gift by judging others based on our own feelings and preferences. Until God finally arises to "judge the earth," we are called to judge justly, and Psalm 82 shows us how. In this sermon, we explore what it means to do justice in the world.

Proverbs 18:10 describes the name of the Lord as a strong tower. The renown and character of our great God is where the righteous man finds his identity, meaning, standards, safety, authority. provision, and assurance. Proverbs 18, indeed with much of the entire book, can be understood as revealing pathways to the tower of God's presence and power in the life of a believer. Today we learn to take refuge in our God by way of our speech and relationships. Let us consider these two pathways to the tower of the Lord

Your front desk didn't sign up to be an insurance department. So why are they buried in one? Kendall sits down with Louis Chan and Vere Whittome, co-founders of Kaylie AI, to break down the walls between insurance verification, treatment coordination, and claims management. Louis explains how five-star doctors at his old oral surgery group kept getting one-star reviews, why most practices react to problems instead of catching them early, and how every denied claim carries a lesson. They also get honest about where AI still falls short and why teams end up chasing a 5% problem with 80% of their time. If you've ever wondered where your front desk's time is really going, this one will change how you see it.   Connect with Kaylie.ai:

Our daily lives are full of habits and routines that shape who we are becoming. To say it another way: we are liturgical creatures. Some of our life patterns are good; others aren't. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 81's invitation to build a better life liturgy: one that sings to God, tells His story, and submits to His authority.

Historical background: the kingdom and events unfolding in the book of Esther pick up roughly where the contemporary events of the book of Daniel had left off. The timeline of Kings and consequences coinciding with Israel's exile and return are relevant to the context of Esther. Nebuchadnezzar had conquered Jerusalem in 605 BC leading Daniel and others captive to the city of Babylon. The next king, Belshazzar, lost his throne immediately upon the prophecy of Daniel to the Persians who expanded the empire. Kings to follow included Cyrus, who allowed the Jews to return & rebuild Jerusalem after 70 years of exile, Darius another king under whom Daniel served, and the son of Darius, Xerxes or Ahasuerus as he is identified in the book of Esther. The Persian empire would continue for several kings following Ahasuerus until it fell to Alexander the Great around 330 BC.

What happens when the laws governing your practice change every few months, and you find out the hard way? Emmett Scott sits down with Eric Scalzo and John Saran, partners at Holland & Knight, to break down the wave of new state regulations reshaping dental practice growth in 2026. They walk through the recent California settlement making headlines, why non-competes and ownership disclosures are under new scrutiny, and how practices in Indiana secured their own exemption simply by showing up during the legislative process. The takeaway: the practices protecting themselves right now aren't panicking, they're paying attention. This one's essential listening before your next hire, partnership, or transaction.   Learn more about Holland & Knight's work in the dental space

Every human being understands the longing to be seen. As Curt Thompson says, “We are all born into this world looking for someone looking for us.” In this sermon, we explore Psalm 80 and its plea to God: "let your face shine that we may be saved." We discover how longing for God's face to shine upon us finds its perfect, saving resolution in the ultimate Shepherd and True Vine, Jesus Christ.

In the providence of God, the recurring challenge of heretical ideas infecting the understanding of the early church set the stage for outlining nonnegotiable Christian teaching.  When Paul addresses the doctrine of resurrection in this chapter, he is providing another example of gospel teaching essential to salvation provided the Corinthians, along with the church of all ages, would hold fast to this truth (1-2).  Paul's own call to ministry hinged on this very reality.  It was the resurrected Christ Jesus Himself who confronted him personally & powerfully in (Acts 9:1-5). Paul was persecuting the first generation of Christians commissioned by Jesus. Now he speaks as one of them having encountered the glory and authority of Jesus Christ exalted & enthroned, Not only did Paul know the resurrection of Jesus Christ to be absolutely true, but he also understood and proclaimed it to be absolutely essential.

39 And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.Exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis, abiit in montana cum festinatione, in civitatem Juda : 40 And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.et intravit in domum Zachariae, et salutavit Elisabeth. 41 And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus : et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth : 42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit : Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me? 44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo. 45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.Et beata, quae credidisti, quoniam perficientur ea, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino. 46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.Et ait Maria : Magnificat anima mea Dominum : 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.

One of the biggest problems in the world is the problem of "us" versus "them". Our human tendency is to respond to injustice by seeking retribution against our enemies. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 79, written after enemies had destroyed Jerusalem. The Psalm shows us how shifting our gaze from “them” to “us” to "you, O God" empowers us to seek justice while also loving our enemies.

How can we run to the name of the Lord as our strong tower? While the first 8 verses of Proverbs 18 primarily identify and refute enemies of wisdom inspiring towers of Babel, verses 9-18 direct us toward the true source of refuge established according to the character and renown of the Lord.  When counsel gleaned from the written Word of God is consistently applied, we ground our lives on the foundation and framework of the only name sufficient for all of life now and forever.  So let us run to the Lord's tower following the path of wisdom.

1 And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.Multis autem turbis circumstantibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, coepit dicere ad discipulos suos : Attendite a fermento pharisaeorum, quod est hypocrisis. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.Nihil autem opertum est, quod non reveletur : neque absconditum, quod non sciatur. 3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.Quoniam quae in tenebris dixistis, in lumine dicentur : et quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, praedicabitur in tectis. 4 And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.Dico autem vobis amicis meis : Ne terreamini ab his qui occidunt corpus, et post haec non habent amplius quid faciant. 5 But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.Ostendam autem vobis quem timeatis : timete eum qui, postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere in gehennam : ita dico vobis, hunc timete. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?Nonne quinque passeres veneunt dipondio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo? 7 Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.sed et capilli capitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite ergo timere : multis passeribus pluris estis vos. 8 And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.Dico autem vobis : Omnis quicumque confessus fuerit me coram hominibus, et Filius hominis confitebitur illum coram angelis Dei :These two brothers were officers under Constantius. After the death of this Christian Emperor, they became martyrs at Rome in the persecution of Julian the Apostate, A.D. 362.

What if growing from one office to ten was never really about the locations at all? Dr. Ronald Taylor sits down with Kendall Hussein to share how he built Trident Endo Dental into a multi-state endodontic group, and why none of it would have worked without putting people first. Ron opens up about a ransomware attack, hiring the wrong people more than once, and the moment he realized his job wasn't running practices. It was building a culture his team wanted to stay in. He breaks down what servant leadership looks like day to day, and why he now measures success by the relationships he's built, not the number of offices on a map.

It's easy to present a curated version of our lives. We often go through the motions, aiming our devotion at worldly idols and missing the profound grace given to those who stop pretending. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 78 and how being ruthlessly realistic about our hearts and lives is the only way to experience the relentless mercy and transforming grace of God.

Taking verse 10 as an organizing analogy for Proverbs 18, this chapter presents a ‘tale of two towers' in wisdom literature terms.  Will the foundation and framework of our lives be built on the attributes of God, or upon the shifting sands of foolishness? The answer hinges on the object of our soul's attention.  Is it the character and renown, that is the NAME, of the Lord that we build our lives upon, or is our priority concern our own name?  There was an ancient tower built by a wicked generation seeking to make themselves a name rather than finding refuge in the Lord.  It didn't go so well for them (Gen 11).  Heeding Prov 18 will keep us from making the same mistake.

What if your biggest profitability opportunity isn't a new patient or a new location, but the revenue you've already earned and never fully collected?   Kendall Hussein sits down with Shreyas Parab, who grew up running every job in his mom's small dental practice in Philadelphia before founding Daydream, one of the most AI-driven RCM companies in dental today. Shreyas breaks down why collections actually drop as practices scale, why a 99% collection rate can still mean you're 45 days from your money, and what it costs when your office manager is on hold with MetLife instead of filling chairs. He walks through how Daydream's AI-powered billing team helped DEO member Beam Dental recover $36,626 in just 76 days.  

Every human being has troubles. And sometimes our troubles overwhelm us. We live in a culture that encourages us to turn inward and endlessly process our troubles, yet this self-focused rumination often distorts our theology and leaves us doubting God's goodness. In this sermon, we look at how Psalm 77 calls God's people to shift their gaze from their own internal pain to God's steady faithfulness.

The Psalms, as summarized by the closing song in each of the first 4 book divisions in the Psalter, present Messiah Prayers in two senses.  First: they serve as prayers of petition for the Messiah to come. Secondly, they function as prayers of intercession for the Messiah to pray on behalf of His people.  The great high priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17 corresponds to the prayer requests of the Psalter echoing the prophetic cries of longing with the proclamation of fulfillment that He secures in His redemptive ministry. Finally, history's greatest hymnal closes with a cosmic call to worship as the only fitting response to the mercy and majesty of God commemorated from song one to one hundred and fifty in the Psalms.

What does it mean to live Coram Deo? In this episode of Take Heart, Corey Wing explores the rich Reformed concept of Coram Deo—living every moment of life before the face of God. Far more than a theological phrase, Coram Deo reminds Christians that every thought, word, and action takes place in God's presence, under His authority, and for His glory. Whether at work, at home, in worship, or in private moments no one else sees, believers are called to live with joyful awareness of God's nearness and sovereignty. Discover how this forgotten truth can transform your worship, strengthen your integrity, and deepen your walk with Christ.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Whether we admit it or not, every human being is prone to fear. We often let the fear of what others think or of what we might lose shape our decisions and responses. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 76 and how cultivating a right fear of God is the only way to stop fearing everything else.

Acts 7 records a Gospel sermon proclaimed to Paul before he was born again.  Paul, approving of Stephen's execution, would have been aware of this testimony. Sometime later, Paul is brought to repentance and faith by the sovereign grace of God & now we read his own Gospel sermon preached to the church in Corinth in I Corinthians 15.
     I Cor 15:1-3 provides an outline for the remainder of the chapter.  Each section following this introduction contains increasingly detailed content. The Gospel that Paul preached and upon which the Church stands is summarized in verses 3-11. Verses 12-34 expound the resurrection as a theological nonnegotiable… the resurrection is essential doctrine to Christianity. To deny it is to deny the faith, rendering everything else you happen to profess meaningless, futile, vain, & useless. Finally, verses 35–58 address frequently asked questions about eternal life answering them with a profound and glorious explanation according to the scriptures proclaimed, fulfilled, and applied.

What if patients aren't saying no to treatment, but saying no to how you're asked to pay? Jordin McEntire sits down with Luke Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer at HFD, to break down what's really happening when patients leave without scheduling. Luke's family bought HFD in 2017, not as bankers, but as entrepreneurs who saw a gap most lenders weren't willing to close. They spent the next 17 years building data on the patients every financing company turns away, and what came out of that is a 99% approval rate the industry hadn't seen before. Luke explains why most financing platforms are built to deny rather than approve, what that does to your treatment coordinators' confidence, and how knowing nearly everyone can qualify changes the way you market and present care.

Whether it be graduation, tax day, or an important holiday, human beings intuitively understand what it means to live in light of a coming date on the calendar. In Psalm 75, God declares that he has appointed a day when he will judge with equity. In this sermon, we explore how living backward from the certainty of Judgment Day sets us free to walk in humility and hope.

What is our relationship to the body of Christ, the Church? How are we to love one another? What is the greatest way to serve Christ?

Isabel alaba a la Virgen María porque ha creído. Pero Ella orienta esa alabanza con el canto del Magníficat diciendo que toda la gloria es para Dios. La criatura espiritual, ángeles y hombres, tenemos como primer deber la glorificación de nuestro Creador. Deo omnis Gloria! Otra actitud sería robo sacrílego. El Padre celestial recompensa lo que está en lo oculto. No vaya a ser que estemos cosiendo con una aguja sin hilo: al final, no queda nada.

What if the single biggest money mistake you're making has nothing to do with marketing, overhead, or your fee schedule? Emmett Scott sits down with Dr. Brett Wells, CEO of Loren Dental Partners, who built nine locations — eight of them de novo startups — and spent six years grinding solo while leaving a fortune on the table. Brett shares why he waited way too long to bring in a second doctor, how that one decision took a single practice from $2M to $6M a year, and why two doctors in one location will always make more money than two separate practices. He also opens up about building and selling Dental HQ, a half-million dollar hot dog restaurant that almost made it to Shark Tank, and the communication lesson that changed how he leads.

44 No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.nemo potest venire ad me, nisi Pater, qui misit me, traxerit eum; et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die. 45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.Est scriptum in prophetis : Et erunt omnes docibiles Dei. Omnis qui audivit a Patre, et didicit, venit ad me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.Non quia Patrem vidit quisquam, nisi is, qui est a Deo, hic vidit Patrem. 47 Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.Amen, amen dico vobis : qui credit in me, habet vitam aeternam. 48 I am the bread of life.Ego sum panis vitae. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.Hic est panis de caelo descendens : ut si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non moriatur. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven.Ego sum panis vivus, qui de caelo descendi. 52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.Si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane, vivet in aeternum : et panis quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita.[44] "Draw him": Not by compulsion, nor by laying the free will under any necessity, but by the strong and sweet motions of his heavenly grace.

Every human being wants a framework for a good life, often reducing faith to simply being a moral person, holding the right beliefs, or belonging to a community. But when our willpower fails or our doubts creep in, these superficial definitions leave us exhausted. The gospel subverts our striving by inviting us into a deeply personal union with Christ, where our old, corrupted self is crucified so that the living God can take up residence within us. In this sermon, we explore Galatians 2:20 and what it means for Christianity to be personal.

According to Proverbs 25:4 “Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel”. According to Proverbs 17:3 “The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the LORD tests hearts.”  Taking these references together we can extend and apply the analogy of precious metal refining to the sanctification process of our hearts and lives. Analyzing Proverbs 17 with this illustration in mind, Solomon reveals categories of dross that godly wisdom teaches us to recognize and remove

What if every conversation in your operatory is already telling you where your production is leaking...and you just can't hear it?   In this episode, Jordin McEntire sits down with Danny Bessonov, CEO and co-founder of Avora, to break down why most dental groups are flying blind on case presentation, team performance, and patient experience. Danny shares how ambient AI turns every appointment into real-time coaching data, giving operators visibility into conversations they'd otherwise never hear, and a scorecard for every role that touches the patient. He walks through why case acceptance is a systems problem and not a people problem, and Jordin shares a live result from a DEO member using Avora: case acceptance went from 40% to 78% — with fewer staff than the quarter before.  

Familiarity with Jesus is not the same thing as following Jesus. Human beings love what is familiar. But familiarity can lead to complacency and apathy. The people of Jesus' hometown missed the miraculous power of God because they couldn't see past the ordinary carpenter they grew up with. In this sermon, we examine three ways to reject Jesus and what it means to actually receive his gracious authority.

Every human being is a disciple or a learner, constantly shaped and trained by the culture around us — from the algorithms on our phones to the expectations of our family of origin or careers. True discipleship, however, requires actively submitting ourselves to the training of Jesus, allowing him to shape our understanding so we can bring out the treasure of his truth to a hungry world. In this sermon, we explore what it means to be a disciple who understands, trains, and shares the ancient and new promises of the gospel.
