In this episode, Pastor Jon sits down with Wyoming Attorney General Keith Kautz to discuss the role Christianity played in America's founding and why a biblical worldview still matters today. Drawing from history, the Declaration of Independence, and Scripture, they explore how the founders understood human dignity, liberty, equality, and the rule of law.The conversation also addresses common misconceptions about the founders' faith, the relationship between Christianity and the abolition of slavery, and why biblical values were never intended to remain private. Rather than arguing for a theocracy, this discussion highlights how Christian principles shaped the nation's founding documents and continue to provide a foundation for justice, freedom, and human flourishing.Whether you're interested in history, government, or theology, this episode offers a thoughtful look at why ideas matter and why truth ultimately begins with God.

How do you discern the call of God on your life? Sometimes hearing from God can feel difficult. This week, Pastor Jon led us through Acts 16, and the requirements we need to hear God's call for us. 1. We need closed doors. While they can initially seem like lost opportunities, how you navigate closed doors can be what your calling is contingent upon. 2. We need word from God. God often speaks to his people through the Word itself, along with through biblically wise people, dreams, and the Holy Spirit. 3. We need a willing heart to go. God grows a heart that is willing to go, and is waiting on our yes and surrender to his plan. Don't be a Christian who just professes faith, but one who also possesses faith. Remember that faithfulness is the prerequisite to a word from God. We'll see you next Tuesday, Paradigm!
The preaching of God's word blesses, encourages, comforts, completes, and transforms us. It also sends us to spread His word and love to our communities.

Join us as this weekend as Pastor Jon brings us a message from James 3 called Taming the Tongue.
Why does it seem like God is taking longer than you expected to answer, provide, or move? In this message, Pastor Jon explores how biblical patience is more than simply waiting—it's trusting that God is at work even when you can't see it. If you've ever felt frustrated by delays, difficult people, or unanswered prayers, you'll find encouragement and practical wisdom from Scripture. Discover how remembering God's faithfulness in the past can help you trust Him with the present and the future. Watch now and be reminded that patience is active trust in a God who is always working.
This week Pastor Jon explores Jesus' parables of the mustard seed and the yeast, reminding us that God's kingdom often starts small, but grows powerfully. As we faithfully plant seeds and trust His timing, God is growing something far greater than we can imagine.

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM Peoria's lead Pastor Jon opens with a simple but convicting reality: most people who don't know Jesus will never walk into a church, but they will watch how Christians respond under pressure. Working through 1 Peter 2 and into chapter 3, he covers three categories of everyday witness: public life, work life, and home life. In each one, Peter calls believers to absorb injustice and do good rather than retaliate, because the witness of the church shines brightest not through outrage or control but through humility, integrity, and love. The foundation for all of it is Jesus, the ultimate exile, who entrusted himself to the Father rather than defending himself. Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.Witness in Ordinary Life1 Peter 2:11-3:7Jon Demeter | Lead Pastor of Redemption Peoria6.14.2026
The Church of Philadelphia had little power by the world's standards—and yet received no correction from Jesus, only an open door. Drawing from Revelation 3:7–12 and 2 Corinthians 12:9, Pastor Jon explores how God's economy runs completely opposite to the world's: strength is perfected in weakness, the small are used for great things, and faithful stewardship of small gospel moments leads to more. When God opens a door, no one can shut it—but we still have to choose to walk through.

Have you ever struggled or suffered through the negative consequences of your own bad choices, only for you to look back later and see good things that were made possible by working through them? Pastor Jon takes us through the last chapter of Lamentations to help us see recognize that when we are drowning in our self-made problems, we should turn to Jesus and repent. God is faithful and will not only rescue us and restore us, but wants to bless us beyond our expectations. Speakers: Jon Thompson Publication: June 7, 2026
What is it you need to get back to your ideal, abundant life? Pastor Jon takes us through the 4th chapter of Lamentations - arguably the most difficult part - to understand what Israel once had and lost because of God's judgement of their idolatry. But the Good News doesn't stop there. God provided a rescue from exile, back into abundant life, through Jesus's sacrifice that rescues us from the penalty of our sins because of the mercy of God.

The Church of Sardis had a reputation for being alive—but the risen Lord called them dead. Drawing from Revelation 3 and James 2, Pastor Jon explores what it means when faith produces no works, and why so many Christians drift into spiritual sleepiness. Through the history of Sardis's famously unguarded walls and the urgent call to "wake up," this message challenges us to fan the embers back into flame before the fire goes out entirely.

This weekend we conclude our message series, Jesus' Farewell. Join us as Pastor Jon shares a message titled “The Hour Has Come”exploring Jesus' powerful words in John 17:1-26 and what they mean for how we live and love today.
God's promises are easy to celebrate when we see them fulfilled, but they are often hardest to trust while we're waiting for them. In Joshua 11, Pastor Jon reminds us that God always does what He says He will do. As Israel finally steps into the Promised Land after generations of waiting, we see that God's faithfulness gives us confidence to follow His plan, purpose to participate in His work, and peace as we trust His timing. Because God keeps His promises, we can take our next step in obedience knowing that He has already gone before us.
The church at Thyatira had so much going for it—love, faith, service, and a faith community that kept growing. But one fatal flaw threatened to unravel it all: the tolerance of sin within the body of Christ. Drawing from Revelation 2:18–29 and 1 Corinthians 5, Pastor Jon explores why tolerating sin is not an act of love but a form of cruelty—and what it looks like for a church to lovingly hold one another accountable.
What happens to Israel now that many have rejected their Messiah? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack Romans 11, exploring the remnant chosen by grace, the olive tree where believing Jews and grafted-in Gentiles become one, and why God's hardening of Israel led to the gospel going to the nations. They tackle election, unity in the church, and why there's only one people of God in Christ. Has God's plan failed—or is it unfolding exactly as promised?We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.
This week, Pastor Jon preached from John 7:53–8:11, using the story of the woman caught in adultery and dragged into the temple courts before a crowd with stones as his text for the freedom Jesus offers us from shame. He pushed back on the typical cultural responses to shame—the "you're worthy" or "do better" responses. Neither reaches the place where shame actually lives. He walked through the honor-shame architecture of first-century Jewish culture to show what Jesus was subverting every time He ate with tax collectors, touched lepers, and stopped for the people everyone else walked past. Jesus coming to deal with our shame was a central theme to His ministry. From the animal skins God fashioned for Adam and Eve to the white robes of the saints in Revelation, Scripture traces an important story—God clothing the naked and the shamed in righteousness and glory. That is what Jesus came to do. That freedom is available today.

This weekend we continue our message series, Jesus' Farewell. Join us as Pastor Jon shares a message titled “I Have Conquered”exploring Jesus' powerful words in John 16:25-33 and what they mean for how we live and love today.
Following Jesus isn't just about surrendering the big moments of life; it's about inviting him into every decision we make. In this week's message from Joshua 9, we see how easy it is to rely on our own judgment, experience, and understanding instead of seeking the Lord's direction. Through Israel's deception by the Gibeonites, we're reminded that spiritual warfare often begins with subtle compromise and self-reliance. But even in failure, God's grace is still at work. Pastor Jon challenges us to trust God with every area of our lives, remember that our past doesn't disqualify us from future purpose, and boldly surrender our decisions to the Lord who leads us faithfully.
When God calls us to honor Him first, He is not trying to take from us. He is teaching us where our true security comes from.
To appreciate God's faithful provision better, let us grow in our praise and thankfulness.
In Psalm 133, King David explains that when brothers and sisters dwell together in unity, it is like precious anointing oil flowing down. The Psalm concludes with a powerful promise: "For there the Lord has commanded the blessing".God doesn't command the blessing everywhere; He commands it "There," at the coordinate of unity. When we stay unified in our giving, serving, and mission, we raise our sail for the new vision to move from the leadership into our families and into neighborhoods.
Pastor Jon walks us through Romans 11 to find a clearer view of God's mercy
This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued the FREED series with one of the most personal questions it will raise: can you actually be free from your past? He opened with a number—nine out of ten—his and Christy's combined score on the Adverse Childhood Experiences assessment. The score wasn't shared for sympathy, it was shared to make the question real. As James Baldwin wrote, "people are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them." Sin works the same way. It exerts power by keeping you in what has already happened, but the antidote isn't denial. Pastor Jon called the answer, "eschatological realism" — a clear, inhabitable sense of the future God has for you. When you're living from that future, what the present holds over you loses its grip. Paul is the guide. In Philippians 3, a man with a past that could have defined him entirely writes about forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. Biblical forgetting isn't numbing, rather it's the intentional release of failure, guilt, and the pride that can calcify even around our wounds. In Christ, we've been given an identity more defining than anything we've been through. Scripture gives us a redemptive orientation toward time: a past that has been redeemed, a present marked by wonder, and a future held open by hope.
