What happens when we start celebrating ministry wins more than the One who gave them? In Luke 10, Jesus sends out seventy-two disciples who return amazed by the power they witnessed—but Jesus redirects their joy. This message explores how our identity in Christ should outweigh our accomplishments for Him. Discover how to find lasting joy not in what you do, but in being known and loved by God.

Are you looking for a way to keep your family grounded in the middle of a busy, ever-changing world? This week's message from Pastor Jon, Rooted & Ready (Colossians 2:6–7), explores what it means to build a strong spiritual foundation for your family this fall. Discover four practical, biblical practices — being grace-filled, grounded, growing, and grateful — that will help you anchor your faith and lead your family with purpose and peace.

In this powerful and personal message—his final sermon as a pastor at Grace Chapel—Pastor Jon Kim unpacks Jesus' piercing question: “Who do you say I am?” With vulnerability and humor, Jon reflects on his pastoral journey and invites us to go deeper in how we personally perceive and follow Jesus. Whether you've been walking with Jesus for years or are just beginning to explore faith, this message challenges all of us to move beyond borrowed beliefs and into a real, lived relationship with Christ.

What holds many Christians back from sharing the gospel with friends and family? Often, it's a sense of inadequacy or fear. In this opening message for Waymaker.Church's 2025 Year of Harvest, we explore Luke 9–10, where Jesus sends out seventy-two ordinary followers—not just the twelve—to prepare the way for His arrival.This message reminds us that we are not called to save people, but to prepare the way for Jesus to meet them. Through prayer, compassion, and obedience, every believer is invited into the mission of the harvest. The opportunities are all around us—but the workers are few. Jesus is clear: the mission won't be easy—but it is worth the risk. You are sent and you are equipped.

Pastor Jon concludes the message series, The New Jerusalem with a message titled, The New Jerusalem based on Revelation 21.

There is a lot for us to learn throughout Scripture about raising our children, and Psalm 127 gives us a beautiful metaphor to help us. This week, Pastor Jon brings an encouragement and a challenge to parents on raising our children with a target in mind, knowing the real Jesus.

As a follow-up to the previous episode on dispensational theology, Pastor Jon explains why America isn't in the book of Revelation.  For our series on Revelation, visit: www.coramdeochurch.org/series/revelation-class.

This is who we are now: sanctified and made to be part of God's family.

Pastor Jon continues the message series, The New Jerusalem with a message titled, The Great Multitude based on Revelation 7

This week we take a deep dive into Psalm 23. Many of us have read this as a nice message for the church, but have we ever stopped to read this passage with more intentionality? Psalm 23 truly is our story.Pastor Jon shares some key thoughts on being a sheep and following the good shepherd in this week's sermon.

In this message from “The Next Right Thing” series, Pastor Jon Ewton unpacks Acts 18:18–28 and Ephesians 4:11–16, highlighting the intentional and relational process of discipleship. With examples from Paul's journey and the ministry of Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos, we're reminded that spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. It's a lifelong, community-driven process that leads to a mature, Christ-like church. Pastor Jon challenges us to engage in deep, consistent discipleship—growing in faith and helping others do the same.

What is the tabernacle without the priesthood? What is worship without the presence of God? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten explore Exodus 39-40, where priestly garments point to new creation and God's glory fills His dwelling place. They contrast the tabernacle with Babel's pride, unpack the priest's role as a shadow of Christ, and discuss why God's presence is the heart of it all.

There is a big difference between a blueprint and a home. In Exodus 35-38, the instructions that God gave Moses for the Tabernacle were built to spec by Spirit-filled construction workers. In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten delve into Exodus 35-38, examining the Sabbath's priority over the tabernacle, the overwhelming generosity of the Israelites in providing materials, and the participation of Bezalel and Oholiab in constructing the tabernacle. They unpack how following God's pattern contrasts with human imagination and what it means to participate in the story of redemption. 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.

Have you been praying for God to move in a specific area in your life, but feel discouraged and ready to give up?

Is “holiness” just an outdated religious word—or could it be the very thing we need most right now? In this week's message from our Dear Church series, Pastor Jon explores Jesus' powerful letter to the church in Thyatira—a group of believers praised for their love but corrected for their compromise. Together, we'll unpack how true holiness is not just a description of God's perfection, but also a direction for us, believers—about becoming more like Jesus in a world that constantly pulls us away from Him. This message is for anyone who's ever felt like following Jesus means swimming upstream. Learn what it means to hold fast to truth, live set apart, and reflect God's love with grace and conviction.

John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.Pastor Jon Courson wrote:"The Greek word translated 'declared' is exe-geomar, from which we get our word 'exegesis,' meaning 'to expound.' Jesus expounded on the Father because Jesus had seen the Father. We are to expound on Jesus because we have seen Jesus. Therefore, the key to all of Bible interpretation, the key to hermeneutics is really 'Himaneutics.'" (If you are familiar with Pastor Jon, you know he is the king of pastor dad-jokes) He continues:"Whether you're teaching a Sunday-school class, preaching to thousands, or serving on the mission field, expound upon Jesus.Look for Him in every passage and on every page of Scripture. Focus on Jesus and you'll behold the Father as well."It seemed fitting to end this episode with the song, “How Deep the Father's Love for Us," which was written by Stuart Townend.If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time donation, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com

These days, our culture is obsessed with ridicule and judgement. But there's also a misunderstanding of love. Pastor Jon breaks down what God's promise means, how it ensures that justice ultimately wins, and how it should affect our behaviour today and every day.

Perhaps we've discovered our spiritual gifts, but what comes next? We may have our ideas, but Pastor Jon Chasteen reminds of a common blindspot: the desire for control.
