In this episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 25:1-30, where Jesus, days before the cross, tells his disciples how to live while they wait for his return. Karl opens with a personal story about the excitement of waiting on a renovation, and how it exposed how little joyful anticipation he had for Christ's return. Building on Jesus' warning in Matthew 24 that no one knows the day or the hour, he gives two reasons to live with joyful anticipation: it motivates holy living, and it recalibrates how we see our lives and the world around us. He then explores the Parable of the Ten Virgins, explaining the stages of a Jewish wedding and how they picture Christ's return, and teaching that it's possible to look ready without actually being ready. Next, through the Parable of the Talents, Karl offers five practical observations about stewardship before making the deeper point that the most precious thing entrusted to us is the gospel itself. He closes with a challenge to be ready rather than just look ready, starting with repentance and putting sin to death.

The good news about our boss. A sermon for the 18th Sunday in Kingdomtide on Matthew 21:23-32 by Rev. Samantha Beach Kiley.
Genesis 1:1–2:4 | What is Genesis 1 actually trying to tell us about creation, God, and ourselves? As we continue our journey through the opening chapters of Genesis, Pastor Dave Evanger explores how we should read the creation story within its ancient context and literary structure. Rather than approaching Genesis only with questions of “how?” or “how long?”, we’re invited to pay attention to the deeper questions of who created, why He created, and what creation reveals about the heart of God. From the poetic structure and repetition of Genesis 1 to the different ways Christians have understood the days of creation, we discover a God who intentionally brings order, purpose, beauty, and life into His world. And at the heart of the creation story is a powerful reminder about our own identity: we were not created simply to work, produce, and prove our value. We were made good, very good, and invited to enjoy God’s creation, rest in His presence, live in community, and partner with Him in His work throughout the world. “You are made good, very good. And not just to work and produce for God, but to enjoy His good creation, His presence, and partner with Him in His revelation of light throughout the cosmos.” Join us as we continue exploring Genesis and what the beginning of the biblical story reveals about God, humanity, and the world He created. * BAPTISM STORIES -- https://siderischurch.com/stories * MUSIC PLAYLIST -- https://tinyurl.com/fkzpkjwh * SERMON PODCAST -- https://tinyurl.com/2sn3msmn * CONNECT WITH US -- https://siderischurch.com/connectcard * MORE GOSPEL RESOURCES -- https://siderischurch.com/resources

We close out this year’s Summer of Psalms with Psalm 26 and a powerful question: What ground are we standing on? Psalm 26 presents a picture of integrity, faithfulness, and a life devoted to God. But when we stand before a holy God, can any of us truly claim that our own goodness is enough? Through Psalm 26, the story of Martin Luther, and the message of the gospel, we’re reminded that our solid ground isn’t our performance, our good works, or our ability to get everything right. Our solid ground is Jesus Christ. At the foot of the cross, the ground is level. We come not claiming our own righteousness, but trusting in the grace of God through Jesus. “My foot stands on level ground; I will bless the LORD in the assemblies.” — Psalm 26:12 Join us as we conclude Summer of Psalms and consider what it means to stand firmly on the grace of Christ.

What can a list of names at the beginning of Matthew possibly tell us about Jesus?In Matthew 1:1–16, the genealogy of Jesus is filled with people we might not expect to find in the family tree of the Messiah—women and Gentiles, outsiders and rule breakers, saints and sinners. Rev. Tim Russell explores how these names aren't simply a record of where Jesus came from; they offer a glimpse of the kind of Messiah he will be.From Jesus' family tree to the table where he was raised by Mary and Joseph, and ultimately to the table Jesus sets for others, Tim traces a story of radical welcome. In a world constantly demanding that Jesus choose between “us” and “them,” Jesus chooses both—making room for the people others would leave out and offering a simple invitation: pull up a chair. We'll make a place.
What does it mean for all of creation to praise God? In Psalm 148, we’re invited to see God’s glory throughout the heavens, the earth, and everything He has made. From the sun and stars to the trees, animals, and people, all creation declares His goodness by faithfully being what He created it to be. As we close our Summer of Psalms series, we’re reminded that we can join this “mighty chorus” by worshiping God not only with our voices, but through the way we live—with holiness, righteousness, and good works.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 18:15-20.Sermon Notes To seek peace when peace seems beyond reach, we need A humble spirit A tender heart A heavenly hopeSermon Questions In the story of Franz Jägerstätter, he stood resolved in his allegiance to Jesus despite compelling arguments from the state, the church, and even his family to simply “obey". How do we handle situations where the "wise" arguments of the world—or even fellow believers—counsel us away from pursuing Jesus's path of peace? The sermon links the humility of a little child to the work of peacemaking, describing a humble spirit as having "no face to save, no dignity to defend, no justice to mete out". Which of these three areas—saving face, defending your dignity, or wanting to hand out justice—is the hardest for you to lay down when a relationship is strained? We are reminded that "a hard heart wants payback," but "a tender heart wants its brother back". If you are currently experiencing an "impaired" or "broken" relationship with a fellow believer, what is one practical way you can keep your heart tender toward them rather than letting it harden? Jesus promises to be uniquely present—"in the midst of them"—when we put on a humble spirit and a tender heart to seek reconciliation. How does the "heavenly hope" of Jesus's direct, irresistible presence change how you view the high personal cost of pursuing peace?Resources Consulted Daniel Hallock, “Franz Jägerstätter, a Quiet Martyr,” The Plough (May 28, 2019) Gordon C.

This Sunday, we dive into Psalm 61 - What do we do when we feel far from God? In Psalm 61, David reminds us that God is our refuge and leads us from the ends of the earth into His presence. Through Jesus, the Rock that is higher than us, we can find true rest, peace, and salvation—and we’re invited to help others find the same.

Sermon Podcast on Acts 23:1-6, Pastor John Moropoulos at Gateway Christian Fellowship. message on Acts 23:1-6 on Sunday, August 30th, 2026.
In this message, Samuel Goulet continues The Mountain Church's study of the seven churches in Revelation by focusing on Pergamum, Sardis, and Philadelphia. He calls the church to reject compromise, wake up from spiritual apathy, and step into the authority God gives His people through His Word and Spirit. With practical encouragement for families, church community, and personal discipleship, Samuel challenges listeners to live awake, repentant, and spiritually engaged—holding fast to faith, resisting the enemy, and trusting God to restore strength, purity, and authority where it is needed most.
Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Colossians 1: 21–29; Luke 10:38–42Sermon Outline Our Shared Mission Defining Discipleship Your Next Step This FallSermon Questions Balancing Our Biases (Evangelism vs. Discipleship)The mission of St. Andrew's is to connect people to Christ (evangelism) and grow them up in Christ (discipleship). The sermon suggests that we naturally tend to "major" in one and "minor" on the other. The "evangelism major" passionately shares the gospel but may struggle with how faith reshapes daily life, while the "discipleship major" focuses on patient spiritual growth but can easily forget the foundational ABCs of the gospel. Reflecting on your own spiritual walk, do you tend to lean more toward being an "evangelism major" or a "discipleship major"? How can our Life Group help us offset our individual biases so that we are actively pursuing both sharing Christ and growing together? Embracing Lifelong ApprenticeshipBiblical discipleship is "being with Jesus and becoming like him, together". This requires a shift from viewing faith as a past-tense, one-off event ("I got saved") to embracing a lifelong, present-tense process of sanctification. This process is like an apprenticeship under a master craftsman, where the daily reality of practicing our faith constantly reveals how much we have yet to learn. If you approach your faith as an ongoing "apprenticeship" rather than a past transaction, what is one daily area—such as your relationships, how you spend, or your workplace practices—where you sense a need to step back into "learning mode" from the Master this season? Leaving the Quarry to Build TogetherThe sermon calls us to shift our perspective from "me" to "us" because we are being saved together as a body. What does it look like for us to move beyond solitary personal piety and instead to build a community of hope, servanthood, and new creation together? What's one practical step we can take as a Life Group this fall to ensure we are being "built into the temple" together, and not eroding alone in our individual routines? Discerning Your Next StepThe sermon invited us to set a timer for fifteen minutes to pray about how God wants them to grow up in Christ. After taking time to pray and seek the Lord, what specific area of growth or practice is God nudging you toward this fall? How can our Life Group support and encourage you in taking that step?Recommended Resources Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy John Mark Comer, Practicing the Way M.
