The faith of Christians around the world rises and falls on the answer to one question: “Is Jesus God?” For thousands of years, this debate has remained at the center of intellectual and religious conversations. Many admit that Jesus existed, and some even say He was a great prophet, but whether or not He is God has implications within church circles and beyond. In this sermon, we explore what Jesus said and did to prove that He was, in fact, God, and why that is beautiful news for you, me, and everyone around you.
Most Colorado investors have never seriously considered industrial real estate. At first, it feels like a different world — big buildings, commercial tenants, unfamiliar terminology. But once you understand how the asset class actually works, it starts to look a lot like the multifamily investing you already know, just with fewer headaches. To start, industrial real estate covers a wide range. On one end you have a 2,000 square foot bay rented to an HVAC company. On the other end, million square foot distribution centers broken into 20,000-50,000 square foot bays. For individual investors, though, the sweet spot is the middle — small-bay multi-tenant buildings in the $1-4 million range where spaces run 1,500 to 5,000 square feet. These attract the same kinds of small businesses that keep renewing: trade contractors, lumber companies, light manufacturers. Tenants that need space and don’t want to move. And in a triple net lease, those tenants pay your taxes, your insurance, and your maintenance costs. You collect the check. That’s where Drew Williams comes in. Drew is an industrial and retail broker at North Peak Commercial Brokers in Denver. Over the last four years he’s focused on exactly this segment of the market — multi-tenant industrial along the Front Range — and in this episode he walks through the asset class from the ground up. Deal types, tenant profiles, how to read a cap rate, what flex industrial actually means, and how to think about risk when you’re underwriting a business instead of a household. From there, the conversation turns to where the 2026 Denver industrial real estate market stands right now. Prices have pulled back. The ask-to-close gap has averaged 15% over the last 12 months. Meanwhile, rents have held flat at $12-13 per square foot triple net while expenses have climbed. On top of that, lenders now want 35-40% down and a 1.3 DSCR. It sounds like a tough market — and in some ways it is. Still, Drew explains why these conditions are also creating real opportunities for buyers who know how to find them. In This Episode We Cover: What industrial real estate actually is — deal types, tenant profiles, and the difference between small bay, flex, and single tenant The three buyer profiles — passive investor, owner-user, and syndication group — with real Denver deal examples How triple net leases work and why tenants pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance Where the 2026 Denver industrial real estate market stands — cap rates, rents, price per square foot, and the 15% ask-to-close gap The value-add playbook — converting gross leases to triple net and recovering expenses landlords have been absorbing for years The three physical features that make a Denver industrial building significantly easier to lease and sell The zoning trap that turns a promising purchase into an expensive mistake If industrial real estate has ever been on your radar but felt too unfamiliar to pursue, this episode is the place to start — and if you’re already looking at the 2026 Denver industrial real estate market, Drew gives you the ground-level data to move with confidence.

This week, we welcome Bishop Drew Williams from All Saints Church Amesbury, preaching from Isaiah 45:1–5, alongside reflections from Hosea 11, Luke 1:78–79, Romans 7, Isaiah 54:2–4, and the wider story of redemption .Centering on God's promise to give “treasures of darkness” (Isaiah 45), Bishop Drew unpacks the historical moment of Israel's exile and Cyrus' unlikely role in their restoration—revealing how God brings hidden treasure out of places of defeat. But this isn't just ancient history. It's a deeply personal promise. The same God who broke open Babylon's vaults now enters the hidden, shame-filled vaults of our own hearts.With pastoral warmth and theological depth, Bishop Drew explores how trauma, sin, and shame drive us into secrecy—and how Jesus meets us there, not with wrath, but with compassion. Drawing from Hosea's declaration that God's “compassion grows warm and tender,” and Luke's image of the “Dayspring from on high,” we are reminded that grace is not a substance to be rationed—it is a Person who abounds toward us.This message is a call to step out of hiding. The darkness we fear may actually be the place where Jesus reveals His mercy most clearly. What feels like failure can become treasure. What feels like shame can become testimony. And what feels like the end may, in Christ, be the ignition of calling and destiny.In the power of the cross, Bishop Drew invites us to trust the slow, gentle work of healing—piece by piece—and to move forward with courage. Because in Jesus, we are not disgraced, not abandoned, and not disqualified. We are called by name.
A 911 call came in from a Florida motel pool reporting a possible drowning — but the man on scene said no one had drowned… and couldn't explain where his fiancée was.What police uncovered next involved infidelity, threats, a sudden breakup, and a woman found soaked, shaking, and pointing straight at the man she said tried to kill her.

Who reigns in your life? This Sunday, in his message "Who Reigns?", Drew Williams unpacks how sin and death enslave us through lies, shame, and broken cycles — and how serving sin allows death to rule over us. But Jesus came to break the power of sin and death once and for all. When we let Christ reign, His truth sets us free from the lies that keep us bound, and we step into true freedom, grace, and righteousness. This message is an invitation to let Him reign fully in our lives — and to allow Him to receive His full reward in us. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
Just like a seed that must be buried to grow, our lives are meant to be planted by God. This Sunday, Drew Williams reminded us that being planted often means taking up our cross and letting go of our own desires. It can feel uncomfortable or even painful, as we surrender to what God wants for us. But it's in this “burial” that we begin to find new life and purpose. This isn't just a one-time choice; it's an invitation to embrace a lifelong journey of following Christ and discovering the fruit He intends for us. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Just as Jesus demonstrated in His own life, we are invited to embrace the transformative gift of baptism, where we enter one way and emerged renewed.

Whether you've already been baptized, wish to rededicate your life to the Lord, or are taking this important step for the first time, we remember that Jesus is at the center of it all, allowing us to live in the reality of what He has accomplished for us. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
