Sermon: Suffering Met with a Song Series: Unshaken Speaker: Ptr. Isaac Cheung Scripture: Habakkuk 3:1-19 God seldom explains our suffering, but He does reveal Himself. This Sunday, Ptr. Isaac Cheung shows us how a fresh vision of God's greatness and character puts our pain in perspective, so we can respond in faith because of His promises. Like Habakkuk, let us wait on the Lord and meet our suffering with a song.

Sermon: 在逆境中站穩 Unshaken Amidst Adversity Series: 永不動搖 Unshaken Speaker: 張國強牧師 Rev. Jeremiah Cheung Scripture: 哈巴谷書 Habakkuk 3:1-19 Translated to English by Elder Stanley Sy 信仰的旅程未必總是順遂；我們在前行的路上必會面臨各種挑戰。在艱難的時刻，我們該如何立定腳步永不動搖？本週日，張國強牧師將透過哈巴谷書中的歌詩，帶領我們一同回顧神過去的作為，並仰望祂未來的拯救。這種視角能讓我們在當下依然獻上敬拜。 The journey of faith is not always smooth, for we face many challenges along the way. How do we stand firm and remain unshaken when times are hard? This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung leads us through Habakkuk's song, urging us to reflect on God's past deeds while trusting in His future deliverance. Let us learn how and why we can keep worshipping Him in the present, no matter the circumstances.

Sermon: Worshipping God Despite The Pain: Kung Pupurihin Mo Pa Din Ang Diyos Kahit Napakasakit Series: Unshaken Speaker: Rev. Michael Cariño Scripture: Habakkuk 3:1-19 Hindi naghihintay ang pananampalataya na mawala muna ang sakit bago sumamba. Sumasamba ito kahit nariyan pa ang paghihirap. Ngayong Linggo, hinihikayat tayo ni Reverend Michael Cariño na alalahanin ang mga ginawa ng Diyos, magtiwala sa Kanyang mga gagawin, at magalak sa kung sino Siya. Nariyan pa man ang takot sa ngayon, sa huli, ang pananampalataya ang aawit. Faith does not wait for the pain to fade before it worships; it worships through hardship. This Sunday, Rev. Michael Cariño encourages us to remember what God has done, rest in what He will do, and rejoice in who He is. Fear may linger for now, but in the end, faith will have the final song.

This week in our Free: Living in the Abundance of Jesus series, Community Life Director Casey Mock shared how we experience the abundance of Jesus through community. We were reminded that we were never meant to do life alone—we build deep bonds, grow together, encourage one another, and become strengthened through God's Word and prayer. Life Groups help us stay connected, grow in faith, and walk through every season together. If you're not in a Life Group, there is a place for you—join a Life Group and find your people!

Do you have to clean yourself up before coming to Jesus?Spring Lake Church's pastors continue the Greater Than series with Hebrews 2:5–18 and this week's message, Jesus Paves the Way.They compare three very different sermon openings, explore why Hebrews returns to Psalm 8, and talk about what it means for Jesus to be our pioneer, champion, and victorious one. The conversation follows the passage from humanity's brokenness to the way Jesus makes for us through his suffering and victory over death.In this week's Deep Dive, they connect Hebrews 2:12 with Psalm 22 and discuss Jesus calling us his brothers and sisters. A wedding-rehearsal illustration helps explain how the Old Testament points toward its fulfillment in him.The episode closes with a practical conversation about temptation, failure, and depending on Jesus for present help—not waiting until we feel ready to come to him.A question to carry into your week: Where do you need to run to Jesus for help today?Main passage: Hebrews 2:5–18Series: Hebrews — Greater Than | Week 3Sermon: Jesus Paves the WaySermon weekend: September 27, 2026CHAPTERS00:00 Come to Jesus in your brokenness00:14 Welcome to Week 300:59 Three different ways into the same passage04:45 Why Hebrews returns to Psalm 807:55 Jesus as pioneer, champion, and victorious one12:09 Deep Dive: Psalm 22 and the family of Jesus16:20 How Jesus helps us right now19:03 Coming back to Jesus after failure21:01 Closing and next week's Tuesday releaseNEXT WEEKThe next Follow Up episode will release Tuesday afternoon, October 6, as the pastors attend the Forest Lakes District conference.Watch Spring Lake's sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@SpringLakeChurchLearn more about Spring Lake Church:https://www.springlakechurch.orgShare this episode with your Life Group or someone who wants to dig deeper into Hebrews.

Who really owns your life?This week on The Extended Cut, Pastor Casey and Pastor Chris go behind the scenes of Chris' sermon, “Whose Life Is It Anyways?”, as we continue our journey through the book of James.We have far less control than we often think. Our lives are brief, our possessions are temporary, and even our best-made plans can change in an instant. So what does it look like to faithfully follow Jesus when we recognize that our time, resources, relationships, and opportunities were never ultimately ours to begin with?In this conversation, Chris and Casey dive deeper into James 4–5 and unpack the difference between ownership and stewardship. They talk about making plans without worshiping them, holding our resources with open hands, trusting God with our finances and schedules, and resisting the temptation to find security and significance in the things we can control.They also explore James' challenging words about wealth, power, injustice, and the way we treat others. God cares not only about what we have, but how we got it and how we use it. For those who have experienced injustice, James offers an important reminder: God sees, God knows, and God is just.Ultimately, there can only be one Lord of our lives. What are you still holding onto and calling “mine”? What might change if you opened your hands and said, “Jesus, this is Yours”?In this episode:• Why faith doesn't stop making plans—it stops worshiping them• The difference between being an owner and a steward• What James teaches about money, wealth, and possessions• Why stewardship applies to our time and relationships, too• God's heart toward injustice and those who have been wronged• How control can compete with trust in Jesus• Why generosity and tithing reveal something about our view of ownership• What it means to live open-handed before God• A preview of what's coming next at Grace City ChurchIf you haven't listened to “Whose Life Is It Anyways?” yet, go back and watch or listen to the full sermon first, then come back for this deeper conversation.The Extended Cut is a weekly conversation from Grace City Church in Eugene and Springfield, Oregon, where we go behind the scenes of Sunday's sermon to explore the Scriptures, influences, preparation, and conversations that shaped the message.If this conversation encourages you, like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who could benefit from it.And if you call Grace City home, don't just process these messages online—join a Life Group and work them out in community.#GraceCityChurch #TheExtendedCut #WhoseLifeIsItAnyways #BookOfJames #James4 #James5 #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #Stewardship #TrustGod #FollowingJesus #EugeneOregon #SpringfieldOregon

Sermon: Waiting for God's Justice: Kung Parang Kasamaan Ang Nagtatagumpay Series: Unshaken Speaker: Rev. Michael Cariño Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2–20 Ipinahayag ng Diyos kay Habakkuk na kahit gagamitin Niya ang Babilonya para sa Kanyang mga plano, pananagutin pa rin Niya sila sa kanilang masasamang gawain. Ngayong Linggo, ipinaaalala sa atin ni Rev. Michael Cariño na ang Diyos ay matuwid, may ganap na kapangyarihan, at tutuparin Niya ang Kanyang ipinangako. Nananatili Siyang makatarungan at hawak Niya ang kinabukasan. God declared to Habakkuk that though He would use Babylon for His purposes, He would still hold that nation accountable for its evil deeds. This Sunday, Rev. Michael Cariño reminds us that God is righteous, God is sovereign, and God keeps His promises. He remains just, and He holds the future in His hands.

Sermon: A Promise for Waiting Series: Unshaken Speaker: Rev. Jared Co Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2–20 God showed Habakkuk what He would do, yet the prophet still had to wait to see it unfold.

What would change if we truly believed Jesus is greater than anything we face?Pastors Arlen, Ryan, and Jack continue Spring Lake Church's Greater Than series with Hebrews 1:5–2:4. In Week 2 of The Follow Up, they explore why Hebrews places Jesus above the angels—and how that truth shapes our trust in him.The conversation moves from what it means to call Jesus the Son of God to the difference between Jesus' authority as King and the angels' role as servants. The pastors also discuss the pressures facing the original readers of Hebrews and the warning to pay attention so we do not drift away.In this week's Deep Dive, they open Psalm 45 to show how reading an Old Testament quotation in context helps us understand Hebrews. They also share practical ways to use cross-references and study tools, then return to a personal question: Do I believe what this passage says about Jesus?A question to carry into your week: Where do you need to trust that Jesus is greater—and what would it look like to pay closer attention to him?Main passage: Hebrews 1:5–2:4Series: Hebrews — Greater Than | Week 2Sermon: Greater Than Spiritual BeingsSermon weekend: September 20, 2026CHAPTERS00:00 What if we truly believed Jesus is greater?00:14 Welcome and this week's passage00:45 What does “Son of God” mean?04:40 Jesus is King; angels are servants06:00 Why this mattered to the first readers08:15 A greater message and the promise of salvation10:30 Pay attention so you do not drift11:15 Deep Dive: Reading the Old Testament in context12:24 Psalm 45 and the Son's throne15:00 What does “a footstool for your feet” mean?16:10 Cross-references and Bible study tools18:06 Do I believe this about Jesus?19:44 Closing thoughtsWatch Spring Lake's sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@SpringLakeChurchLearn more about Spring Lake Church:https://www.springlakechurch.orgShare this episode with your Life Group or someone who wants to dig deeper into Hebrews.

Sermon: What If I Don't Understand What God Is Doing?: Kung Mahirap Maunawan Ang Plano at Pagiisip Ng Diyos Series: Unshaken Speaker: Rev. Michael Cariño Scripture: Habakkuk 1:5–2:1 Paano tayo magtitiwala at susunod sa Diyos kapag hindi natin maintindihan ang Kanyang mga plano? Ngayong Linggo, ipapaliwanag ni Reverend Michael Cariño kung paano natin malalampasan ang kalituhan patungo sa kapanatagan sa Diyos. Sa paghihintay sa Kanyang takdang panahon at pagmamasid kung paano Siya kumikilos, makahahanap tayo ng dahilan upang sumamba sa Kanyang presensya. How can we trust and obey God when His plans don't make sense to us? This Sunday, Rev. Michael Cariño explains how we can move from confusion to confidence in God. As we wait on His timing and watch how He works, we will find reason to worship in His presence.

This Sunday, Pastor Nathan Tee encourages us to hold steady and wait on God, especially when His answers come in unexpected forms.

Sermon: 永不動搖 因為認識神的屬性 Knowing God's Attributes Remain Unshaken Series: 永不動搖 Unshaken Speaker: 張國強牧師 Rev. Jeremiah Cheung Scripture: 哈巴谷書 Habakkuk 1:5-2:1 Translated to English by Eld. Alex Gatchalian 哈巴谷對神選擇使用一個更邪惡的國家來審判猶大的罪惡感到困惑。本週日，張國強牧師提醒我們，除非我們了解神的屬性，否則要對神保持忠心是相當困難的。我們對神的認識越深，就越容易信靠祂的話語。 Habakkuk was confused by God's decision to use a more wicked nation to judge Judah's sins. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that holding fast to God can be challenging if we don't understand His attributes. The deeper our knowledge of God, the easier it becomes to trust His word.

Pastor Sam Paschall teaches through the 59 "one another's" of the New Testament.

Do you actually believe Jesus rose from the dead — or have you just checked a box? Week 1 of our new series, While I Breathe, I Hope, asks a question worth sitting with: What Have I Become? Almost half of Americans say they believe Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead. But there's a massive gap between people who check that box and people whose lives have actually been changed by it. In this message, we unpack why a belief that isn't radical won't give you hope — and why the resurrection of Jesus is one of the most radical, world-altering claims a person can make.

If Jesus holds everything together, what are you still trying to handle on your own?The Follow Up is back. Bill Van Kirk, Jack Guerra, and Adam Jackson open a new season with Hebrews 1:1–4 and Spring Lake Church's Greater Than series. They explore what the opening verses say about Jesus—and why those truths matter when life feels uncertain.The conversation moves from the historical setting of Hebrews to the difference between knowing the Jesus revealed in Scripture and imagining a Jesus who simply fits our preferences. The pastors also discuss Hebrews as a word of exhortation, why the book's opening reads like a powerful opening statement, and how the series can deepen our trust in Christ.In this season's first Deep Dive, Bill traces how God makes himself known through creation, the patriarchs, Moses, and the prophets, culminating in Jesus. The conversation then turns practical: seeing creation as an invitation to worship, giving Jesus his proper place in our lives, and bringing him the struggles we tend to keep to ourselves.A question to carry into your week: What is one thing you need to trust Jesus with—and what would it look like to bring it to him consistently?Main passage: Hebrews 1:1–4Series: Hebrews — Greater Than | Week 1Sermon weekend: September 13, 2026CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome to a new season03:27 Why “Greater Than”?05:26 Hebrews' opening statement and historical setting07:34 Creator, Sustainer, and Savior09:04 More than an imaginary friend12:28 Who wrote Hebrews—and how should we read it?14:51 Deep Dive: How does God reveal himself?16:17 Creation, the prophets, and revelation through history19:21 God revealed in Jesus20:59 Hearing from God and knowing the real Jesus23:43 Seeing creation as an invitation to worship24:45 What should we do with Hebrews 1:1–4?26:33 What do you need to trust Jesus with?28:24 Closing thoughtsWatch Spring Lake's sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@SpringLakeChurchLearn more about Spring Lake Church:https://www.springlakechurch.orgShare this episode with your Life Group or someone who wants to dig deeper into Hebrews.

Du bist eingeladen an Gottes Tisch: In Gemeinschaft mit Gott und Menschen. Nachfolge geht nicht allein. Jesus formt uns in und durch Gemeinschaft. Deshalb sind Konflikte kein Fehler im System, sondern ein Feature. Wir bringen unsere Stärken und Schwächen, Prägungen und Verletzungen, Bedürfnisse und Eigenheiten mit an den Tisch und dürfen dort miteinander reifen.Unsere Zeit macht es uns nicht einfacher Beziehungen zu leben. Wir sind zu busy, doch Beziehungen brauchen Zeit. Wir sind abgelenkt, doch Verbundenheit braucht Verbindlichkeit. Ein Grundproblem unseres Herzens macht es uns besonders schwer Beziehungen zu leben: Scham. Schuld sagt: „Ich habe etwas Schlechtes getan.“ Doch Scham sagt: „Ich bin schlecht.“ Und so beginnt ein Teufelskreis aus Schuld, Scham, Verstecken und zerstörtem Vertrauen. Gott hat Adam und Eva aus ihrem Versteck herausgerufen und sie eingeladen, ihre Schuld zu bekennen und die Konsequenzen mit ihm zu sortieren. Und dann hat er sie mit Fellen bedeckt und geschützt – ein Bild für Christus, der unsere Schuld zudeckt und uns kleidet mit Gnade und Gerechtigkeit.Bekenntnis / Beichte ist auch heute noch eine wichtige geistliche Übung und ein Schlüssel gegen die Scham. Jakobus 5,16 sagt „Bekennt also einander eure Sünden und betet füreinander, dass ihr gesund werdet.“ Bekenntnis bedeutet aus dem Schatten ins Licht zu treten, um Vergebung für Sünde und Heilung für Scham zu empfangen. Scham ist der große Entzweier, aber Bekenntnis ist der große Verbinder. Tim Keller: „Geliebt und nicht gekannt zu sein, ist tröstlich, aber oberflächlich. Gekannt und nicht geliebt zu sein, ist unsere größte Angst. Aber vollkommen gekannt und vollkommen geliebt zu sein ist, nun, sehr so, wie von Gott selbst geliebt zu sein.“

Sermon: 永不動搖因為緊緊的擁抱神 Holding Tightly to God, Remain Unshaken Series: 永不動搖 Unshaken Speaker: 張國強牧師 Rev. Jeremiah Cheung Scripture: 哈巴谷書 Habakkuk 1:1–4 Translated to English by Dea. Daniel Go 我們每天生活在一個不公不義與暴力、甚至屢屢逃脫懲罰的世界。我們向神呼求，祂卻似乎默然不語，置我們的哀求於不顧。本主日，張國強牧師將鼓勵我們在身邊的混亂中堅立永不動搖，緊緊的擁抱神。 We live in a world where injustice and violence unfold daily and so often go unpunished. We cry out to God, but He seems silent and unheeding of our pleas. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung encourages us to hold tightly to God, for only by clinging to Him can we stand unshaken amid the chaos around us.

Sermon: Where Is God When I'm Hurting?: Kung Hindi Mo Matagpuan Ang Diyos sa Gitna ng Pighati Series: Unshaken Speaker: Rev. Michael Cariño Scripture: Habakkuk 1:1–4 Normal lang na makaramdam ng galit sa Diyos kapag tayo ay dumaranas ng patuloy na sakit at tila hindi nasasagot ang ating mga panalangin. Kaya lang, marami ang naniniwalang ang pagpapahayag ng hinaing ay tanda ng kawalan ng pananampalataya. Ngayong Linggo, tatalakayin ni Reverend Michael Cariño na sa ating pananampalataya, malaya tayong lumapit sa Diyos, dala ang ating mga sugat. Mahalagang maging tapat tayo sa ating mga panalangin, kahit pa sa pagpapahayag ng ating sakit at mga suliranin. It's only natural to feel angry with God when we endure ongoing pain and our prayers seem to go unanswered. Yet many believe that voicing our complaints is a sign of weak faith. This Sunday, Rev. Michael Cariño shows us that faith sets us free to present our wounds to Him. Let us be honest in our prayers, even as we express our pain and our problems.

Sermon: A Hard Conversation with God Series: Unshaken Speaker: Rev. Jared Co Scripture: Habakkuk 1:1–4 With corruption and violence surrounding us, it's easy to grow frustrated with God and approach Him with complaints, especially when He seems silent and indifferent to our prayers. This Sunday, Rev. Jared Co assures us that we can have hard conversations with God boldly and persistently because He truly understands us.

Echte Gemeinschaft ist mehr als ein Sonntagsgottesdienst – sie verändert unser ganzes Leben. Jesus hat uns keine systematische Religion hinterlassen, sondern eine Einladung an den Tisch: einen Ort für tiefe Freude und für das Tragen schwerer Lasten in einer Familie des Glaubens.In Teil 2 der Serie COMMUNITY geht es um die heilende Kraft ehrlicher Verbundenheit. Warum ist Gemeinschaft der Schlüssel zur Traumaüberwindung? Weshalb dürfen wir aufhören zu glauben, wir müssten alleine durchs Leben gehen? Und wie wird aus geteilter Freude echte Widerstandskraft?Hör rein und entdecke, wie befreiend es ist, an einem Tisch zu sitzen, an dem du wirklich gekannt und geliebt wirst.____________________ NOCH MEHR ERFAHRENDu hast dich für Jesus entschieden, möchtest Teil unserer Kirche werden oder für dich beten lassen? -- Dann meld dich gerne.

What did Jesus actually ask His first disciples to do before they followed Him? The answer changes everything about how we understand coming to Jesus. In this message, "Come and Become," we look at Matthew 4:18-22 — the moment Jesus calls Peter, Andrew, James, and John — and unpack three things easy to miss in a story we've heard a hundred times: 1️⃣ Jesus asked them to do nothing before they followed Him 2️⃣ Jesus promised to make them into something new 3️⃣ Jesus called them in the middle of ordinary, everyday life Our mission at New Life is to invite people to come as they are to Jesus and become who they're created to be — and this is where that mission comes from.

What if the season that feels the most barren is actually the one where God is growing your roots the deepest? The seven days of creation are not just history. They are a pattern for what He is doing in your life right now. Which day are you in?

What does it actually mean to have a living, saving faith? Is believing the right things about Jesus enough—or should genuine faith produce visible fruit in the way we live?In this week's episode of The Extended Cut, Pastor Casey and Pastor Chris go behind the scenes of Week 4 of our series through the book of James and unpack the challenging question from James 2: “Is your faith dead?”James gives us a sobering reality: even the demons believe in God—and shudder. So what separates intellectual belief from genuine, saving faith?Pastor Casey and Pastor Chris explore the difference between simply knowing the truth and actually putting weight on what we believe. They talk about faith and works, obedience, spiritual fruit, anxiety and trust, conviction versus condemnation, and what it looks like to surrender our lives to Jesus rather than simply agree with the right theology.In this conversation:What kind of faith actually saves?Why genuine faith produces fruitWhat James means when he says “faith without works is dead”Why even the demons believe—and why that mattersThe difference between knowing Jesus is Lord and surrendering to Him as LordAbraham and Rahab as examples of active faithHow anxiety can reveal areas where our stated beliefs and lived trust don't alignThe difference between conviction, correction, and condemnationHow the Holy Spirit calls us toward repentance and growthWhy Christians should pursue what Jesus has for them rather than live in fearA practical challenge for putting real weight on your faith this weekPastor Chris also takes us behind the cut, sharing the tension he wrestled with while preparing this message: How do you faithfully preach James' strong warning about dead faith without turning Christianity into a religious checklist? The answer points us away from perfection and toward a living relationship with Jesus—one that increasingly produces obedience, surrender, and fruit.Saving faith is not proved by what we say. It's revealed by what it produces.This week, take an honest look at your life. Where is there a gap between what you say you believe and how you actually live? Pick one area and put some weight on your faith. Trust God enough to walk out what you believe is true.Also in this episode, we talk about what's happening at Grace City, including registration for Establish, our discipleship course designed to help you find freedom, healing, and a stronger foundation in Jesus, as well as our upcoming Building Refresh Day.And, naturally, we settle another pressing theological question: Is August 25th way too early for pumpkin spice season?

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Colossians 1: 21–29; Luke 10:38–42Sermon Outline Our Shared Mission Defining Discipleship Your Next Step This FallSermon Questions Balancing Our Biases (Evangelism vs. Discipleship)The mission of St. Andrew's is to connect people to Christ (evangelism) and grow them up in Christ (discipleship). The sermon suggests that we naturally tend to "major" in one and "minor" on the other. The "evangelism major" passionately shares the gospel but may struggle with how faith reshapes daily life, while the "discipleship major" focuses on patient spiritual growth but can easily forget the foundational ABCs of the gospel. Reflecting on your own spiritual walk, do you tend to lean more toward being an "evangelism major" or a "discipleship major"? How can our Life Group help us offset our individual biases so that we are actively pursuing both sharing Christ and growing together? Embracing Lifelong ApprenticeshipBiblical discipleship is "being with Jesus and becoming like him, together". This requires a shift from viewing faith as a past-tense, one-off event ("I got saved") to embracing a lifelong, present-tense process of sanctification. This process is like an apprenticeship under a master craftsman, where the daily reality of practicing our faith constantly reveals how much we have yet to learn. If you approach your faith as an ongoing "apprenticeship" rather than a past transaction, what is one daily area—such as your relationships, how you spend, or your workplace practices—where you sense a need to step back into "learning mode" from the Master this season? Leaving the Quarry to Build TogetherThe sermon calls us to shift our perspective from "me" to "us" because we are being saved together as a body. What does it look like for us to move beyond solitary personal piety and instead to build a community of hope, servanthood, and new creation together? What's one practical step we can take as a Life Group this fall to ensure we are being "built into the temple" together, and not eroding alone in our individual routines? Discerning Your Next StepThe sermon invited us to set a timer for fifteen minutes to pray about how God wants them to grow up in Christ. After taking time to pray and seek the Lord, what specific area of growth or practice is God nudging you toward this fall? How can our Life Group support and encourage you in taking that step?Recommended Resources Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy John Mark Comer, Practicing the Way M.
