This week at Zion, Pastor Jon continued our This We Believe series by opening Scripture to explore what the Bible teaches about Women in Ministry. From Genesis to the early church, we see God consistently calling and empowering women as image‑bearers, leaders, teachers, and partners in His mission.Pastor Jon reminded us that women are not an afterthought in God's story—they are essential contributors to His kingdom. We looked at examples like Deborah, Esther, Mary of Bethany, the Samaritan woman, and the women who first proclaimed the resurrection. At Pentecost, the Spirit was poured out on sons and daughters (Acts 2:17–18), making it clear that a Spirit‑filled church must make room for every gift God gives.The heart of the message is simple: at Zion, we believe biblically qualified women may preach, teach, lead, pastor, and serve—not because culture demands it, but because Scripture reveals it. Our prayer is that every person would encounter Jesus, experience His love, and discover the joy of living according to His good design.This message is part of This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Truths That Shape Our Faith and Who We Are, a series on the authority of Scripture, who God is, the person and work of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the purpose of the Church, and our mission in the world.NEXT STEPS:Whether you're exploring faith, growing in your relationship with Jesus, or looking for a church community, we'd love to help you take your next step.

On Sunday, August 23, Pastor Jon preached on Psalm 96. Join us for the livestream of our 9:30 AM services on Facebook Live.
What does it mean to be truly free? In a world where wounds, habits, and hidden battles often feel normal, Pastor Jon reminds us that Jesus didn't come to help us manage captivity—He came to bring us out. As He said in John 8:36, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”In this message from our This We Believe series, Pastor Jon explores the biblical foundation of freedom through John 8, Luke 4, and Colossians 1. Freedom wasn't a side project for Jesus—it was central to His ministry. He forgave sin, healed bodies, restored dignity, and confronted darkness everywhere He went. And He still sets people free today.Pastor Jon also spoke pastorally to the reality we all face: salvation happens in a moment, but freedom is learned through surrender. Many of us have normalized patterns, wounds, or destructive habits, but Jesus wants access to every “room” of our lives—not to expose us, but to heal us. He walked us through a simple pathway toward freedom: Recognize, Repent, Renounce, Receive, and Resist.This message is part of This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Truths That Shape Our Faith and Who We Are, a series on the authority of Scripture, who God is, the person and work of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the purpose of the Church, and our mission in the world.NEXT STEPS:Whether you're exploring faith, growing in your relationship with Jesus, or looking for a church community, we'd love to help you take your next step.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking that being a "pretty good person" is enough to get a passing grade with God? In this foundational sermon from the "Back to School" series, Pastor Jon confronts modern culture's broken, distorted view of grace to reveal how salvation truly operates. By exploring Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18, we learn that God never compares us to others, nor does He lower His absolute standard of 100% holiness to appease our shortcomings. Real biblical grace isn't about God pretending you passed when you failed; it's about Jesus standing in as your perfect substitute to transform your identity from the inside out.

"If someone followed you around all day, what would they say you're practicing to become?" Pastor Jon Chasteen kicks off a new sermon season called "The Way," where each week will be a deep dive on the daily rhythms of a Christian--that is, the way we live out our faith every day outside of the usual weekly church services. This first week, Pastor Jon brings a powerful introductory message on how our practices reveal who we are becoming. We pray this message helps you on your own day-to-day walk with Christ!

Who has the authority to define who we are? In a culture where identity is often shaped by feelings, desires, and shifting opinions, Pastor Jon reminds us that our truest identity isn't discovered within—it's received from our Creator. Because God made us, He alone defines us.In this message from our This We Believe series, Pastor Jon explores the biblical foundation of sexuality and gender through Genesis 1 and 1 Corinthians 6. Our bodies aren't random or accidental—they carry meaning, dignity, and design. As Pastor Jon said, “A mirror can show you what you look like…but it cannot reveal your identity.”He also spoke to every season of life—whether you're navigating questions, carrying wounds, or walking with loved ones—reminding us that temptation is not the same as sin, and that grace doesn't affirm everything we feel; grace redeems everything we surrender. True freedom begins when we belong fully to Jesus.This message is part of This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Truths That Shape Our Faith and Who We Are, a series on the authority of Scripture, who God is, the person and work of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the purpose of the Church, and our mission in the world.NEXT STEPS:Whether you're exploring faith, growing in your relationship with Jesus, or looking for a church community, we'd love to help you take your next step.

What is marriage really meant to carry? In a culture where definitions shift and opinions collide, Pastor Jon reminds us that Biblical Marriage is not ours to redesign—it's God's creation, and because He created it, He alone defines it.In this message from our This We Believe series, Pastor Jon explores the biblical foundation of marriage through Jesus' words in Matthew 19 and Genesis 2. Marriage is more than companionship—it's a covenant, a union, and a picture of Christ's faithful love for His people. As Pastor Jon said, “Marriage carries covenant… sexual faithfulness… families and future generations.”He also spoke pastorally to every season of life—married, single, divorced, or healing—reminding us that “you don't need marriage to complete you. You need Jesus.” What we didn't receive doesn't have to determine what we get to build. With God's grace, our homes and relationships can become testimonies of redemption and hope.This message is part of This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Truths That Shape Our Faith and Who We Are, a series on the authority of Scripture, who God is, the person and work of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the purpose of the Church, and our mission in the world.NEXT STEPS:Whether you're exploring faith, growing in your relationship with Jesus, or looking for a church community, we'd love to help you take your next step.

On Tuesday, July 21, Pastor Jon shared the vision for Men's Trainings, Russ Petrick shared his testimony, and Pastor Kim Highfield taught on the topic of "The Redeemed Man with God, People, Church, and Work."
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.
As Paul closes his letter to the Romans with personal greetings, one name sparks a major debate: Was Junia an apostle? In this final episode on Romans, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten walk through Romans 16 and tackle the question of women in ministry. They discuss Junia's identity, the meaning of “outstanding among the apostles,” the clear teaching of 1 Timothy 2 on creation order, and why the office of elder is reserved for qualified men. Along the way, they address the value of distinct male and female roles in the home and church, and the dangers of interpretive gymnastics.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.

How should stronger Christians relate to weaker ones in the church? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten continue through Romans 15, showing how the stronger are called to bear with the failings of the weak — just as Christ did not please himself but bore our reproach.They discuss the goal of church maturity, the power of endurance and encouragement from God, Jew-Gentile unity, and how Paul's missionary ambition to preach Christ where he has not been named flows directly from the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.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.

What do you do when Christians in the same church disagree on secondary issues like food, drink, holy days, or personal convictions? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack Romans 14 — exploring the weaker and stronger brother, the call to welcome without quarreling, and why we must be fully convinced in our own minds while refusing to despise or judge one another.They discuss real pastoral wisdom on alcohol, Christian liberty, avoiding the “tyranny of the weaker brother,” and how gospel unity holds the church together even when convictions differ on non-essential matters.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.
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!

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

Pastor Jon preaches out of Zechariah 3.
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.
