In Part 7 of our “Why?” series, we learn that the church is important because it is not merely an institution but God’s family, the His body, and His Bride—God’s design for people to live in connection with Him and with one another. Source
“The Woman At The Well”John 4:1-421 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”17 “I have no husband,” she replied.Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Don't you have a saying, ‘It's still four months until harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps' is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

Everybody wants to be fully known and fully loved - and almostnobody wants to risk it. In this episode of Digging Deeper, Pastor Matt,Pastor Thom and Pastor Jay unpack why being known is so hard, especially insidethe church, and how pride hides on both sides of the struggle.We usually think of pride as bragging and one-upmanship. Butthere's a quieter, more twisted version: "I'm not worthy. Nobody should waste their time on me. God wants good things for Hispeople - just not me." That's not humility. That's putting yourown voice above God's, and it can keep you isolated, guarded, andslow to trust anyone who tries to come close.In this episode, the guys dive into the value and importance of being known and why it's so important, despite how difficult it can be to take the first steps. If you've ever felt too much or not enough to be known, this oneis for you. Take the risk. Put the reps in. You might clam up thefirst six weeks - week seven is still coming.Digging Deeper is brought to you by New Hope Church.Subscribe for new episodes, and share this one with a friend whoneeds to hear it.

This introduction to Philippians focuses on encouraging believers to center their lives around Christ by renewing their mindset and obeying God's guidance even when the full path is not yet clear. Drawing from Acts 16 and Philippians 1–2, Pastor Jay highlights Jesus' self-emptying humility and clarifies the roles of leaders and saints within the church, emphasizing that what individuals choose to mentally feed and focus on ultimately controls their lives.
What are you doing with what God has entrusted to you? In this message, Bertie Campus Pastor Jay Rivenbark challenges us to live with purpose and faithfulness as we wait for the return of Jesus. Through the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, we're reminded that God has entrusted each of us with gifts, abilities, time, and resources, and we have a responsibility to put them to work for His Kingdom. The question isn't how much we've been given compared to someone else. The question is whether we're being faithful with what God has placed in our hands. Pastor Jay reminds us that fear can cause us to bury what faith is willing to invest, and that fruitfulness comes from faithfulness. As we look forward to Christ's return, we're called to stay engaged, serve others, invest in God's Kingdom, and make the most of the time we've been given.

“If It's You, Lord…”Matthew 14:22-3322 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It's a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.”28 “Lord, if it's you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”29 “Come,” he said.Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night.

“The Other Table”Matthew 14:13-2113 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

“Mercy for Monsters”Jonah 1:1-171 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”3 But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.4 Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship.But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.”7 Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.” They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?”9 He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”10 This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.)11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”12 “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. 14 Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man's life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.” 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. 16 At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him.17 Now the Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

Pride isn't always loud, arrogant, or obvious. Sometimes it's quiet, respectable, and even religious. In this message from Luke 18:9–14, Pastor Jay explores Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, revealing how pride can hide beneath good behavior, church attendance, and outward morality while quietly keeping us from genuine dependence on God. Discover why humility begins when comparison ends, why a teachable heart is one of the greatest marks of spiritual maturity, and how God invites every believer to pray, "Lord, search me. Lord, change me. Lord, keep me teachable." Whether you've followed Christ for years or are simply seeking Him, this message is a reminder that God gives grace to the humble and that true transformation begins when we honestly surrender our hearts before Him.

Pastor Jay teaches about Peter and John in the temple, being bold and unashamed of the gospel of Christ Jesus, to both the sick and lame, and to the earthly authorities. We look at what Acts 3 & 4 say about boldness in Christ, brokenness in our sin, and the power in the name of Jesus.

This message uses the story of Israel at Kadesh-Barnea to illustrate how many believers become trapped in repeating cycles of fear, doubt, unhealthy habits, and spiritual stagnation. Pastor Jay examines the difference between the voices of fear and faith, revealing how repeated unbelief kept Israel wandering in the wilderness for forty years. Through the examples of Joshua and Caleb, we discover that freedom comes when we choose to trust God, listen to His voice, and walk in faithful obedience. If you've ever felt stuck going around the same spiritual "merry-go-round," this message offers biblical insight and encouragement to break the cycle and move forward into God's promises.
Pastor Jay continues our seres on 1 Thessalonians with a a further look at its last bit of instruction, arguing that that biblical peace is not the absence of conflict but the pursuit of reconciliation through truth and love.
What is the Promise of the Father, and why is the Holy Spirit essential to the life of every believer? In this powerful Pentecost message from Dwelling House Church, Pastor Jay Genin explores God's promise to pour out His Spirit and what it means to live a Spirit-filled life today. Walking through Isaiah, the Gospels, and the Book of Acts, Pastor Jay reveals how the coming of the Holy Spirit was God's plan from the beginning. This sermon highlights the difference between simply knowing about God and experiencing His presence, power, and transforming work in everyday life. Through biblical teaching, Pastor Jay explains why Jesus commanded His disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit, how the Spirit empowers believers, and why the Holy Spirit is not merely a force or gift, but a Person who desires a relationship with us. Whether you're new to faith, curious about Pentecost, seeking a deeper walk with God, or wanting to understand the baptism and work of the Holy Spirit, this message offers biblical clarity, encouragement, and practical application for every believer. Dwelling House Church is a Spirit-filled, Christ-centered Foursquare church in Madison, Wisconsin, passionate about the presence of God, biblical truth, worship, discipleship, and helping people encounter Jesus in a real and transformative way. If you're searching for sermons about the Holy Spirit, Pentecost, Spirit-filled Christianity, hearing God's voice, Christian growth, revival, or the presence of God, this message is for you. 1. What is the Promise of the Father, and why did Jesus tell His disciples to wait for it? 2. How does the Holy Spirit empower believers to live the Christian life? 3.
