Speaker: Pastor NickSynopsis: This morning we continue our new series: "Questions in Red" where our teaching is based off of one or more questions that were asked by Jesus. Question asking was a common method of Rabbinic teaching and today we dive into Mark 8 where Jesus asks, "Why does this generation ask for a sign?" Simultaneously, Jesus warns his disciples not to get caught up in in the "yeast" of the Pharisee and Herod. These two things are both connected AND relevant to today! Want to learn more?

Speaker: Pastor NickSynopsis: This morning we continue our new series: "Questions in Red" where our teaching is based off of one or more questions that were asked by Jesus. Did you know that Jesus was asked over 300 questions but only directly answered about 8? Jesus would often teach by posing a question or respond to questions with another question. This morning we jump into Matthew 16 where Jesus asks the question: Who do you say I am? Jesus wants to know what the crowd thinks and what the disciples think - the contrast is fascinating! When Peter does answer on behalf of the disciples - we dig into what it means then and for us today.

Our new Bible series this year focuses on passages of Scripture that can be difficult to navigate or know what to do with. This month, we take a closer look at Romans 13, examining how Paul understands the role of government and how Christians are called to approach faithfulness and obedience to the law. This passage has often been used to silence dissent—but is that truly Paul's intent, or is there a more faithful and nuanced way to read it? ‍Here is an article we used to jump-start our conversation: https://www.christianitytoday.com/2026/01/christians-romans-13-ice-shooting-minneapolis/ Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast and to share it with your friends, families, neighbors, and strangers!

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: January 4, 2026Synopsis: This morning we begin our New Year by having a time of Congregational Sharing. Periodically we take time to pass the mic and encourage one another and life up the name of God by sharing how God has been at work in our lives and the start of a new year is the perfect time to look back and reflect on where God has been moving. For this reason when the sharing starts we will NOT BE STREAMING due to privacy for those sharing. Please enjoy the music, community prayer and kids devotional this morning and if you want us to share something on your behalf - place it in the comments.

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: December 28, 2025Synopsis: Today we conclude our Advent series "From Birth to Rebirth" where we have looked at the themes of Faith, Hope, Love and Joy and see how Jesus' birth changes our understanding of all these things both in Biblical times and modern. This morning we hold our candlelight service, instead of Christmas Eve, and look at JOY. God, through Jesus, entered into darkness - our darkness - rather than be set apart and understanding this brings us JOY which changes both our viewpoint and our circumstances. Want to hear more?

We started off the new year with a bang with an interview with Father Andrew, a Catholic priest who is trained to do exorcisms. We may not agree on every aspect of demons, possession, and spiritual warfare, but it was fascinating to hear his experience and perspective.

We take a look at ways church and culture blame women for society's problems. From Eve to modern sexual assault scandals, women have been cast aside or blamed for their existence. How do we break free from this cycle - it is complicated and difficult but necessary to find ways to see women as Jesus sees them. Plus, maybe the solution to life's problems is more batman.

The Epstein Files, and all the drama that have surrounded them, have been rocking the political landscape of our culture. Unfortunately, the Christian Church is no stranger to these sort of scandals.

How are we seeing similar patterns at work now? And how can we do better as people of faith?

There is a new TikTok social experiment going around where a woman is calling churches pretending to have a hungry baby and asking for help. Many churches are failing her test to help… but is the test rigged? We examine the experiment, ask questions of how should churches respond and what is our willingness to risk being “scammed” to help others. more info on the social experiment here: https://www.newsweek.com/nikalie-monroe-church-call-experiment-starving-child-poverty-snap-benefits-11022815 Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast and to share it with your friends, families, neighbors, and strangers!
