Christians talk a lot about God's grace, but we less often talk about what is sometimes called the scandal of grace. When we really get the concept of grace, we're going to actually be offended. It steps on the toes of what we think is right or wrong. For people who are used at deserving or achieving all they get, grace can be a real stumbling block, and our ego can even convince us to say no to it. In this message, using 2 Kings 5 and the story of a highly competent, rich and well-connected general named Naaman who desperately was looking for a cure for his leprosy, Pastor Joel explains why grace challenges the deeply held beliefs we have about ourselves, and how in allowing it to offend us God is actually trying to heal us of a spiritual disease we all have. It's a spiritual leprosy, we could call it, using the story of Naaman as an allegory for our sinful arrogance. This is a message for everyone, but especially those who really struggle with perfectionism and achievement.

This might surprise you, but when Jesus talked about sex he said the conservative hardliners of his day actually didn't go far enough. For many in his day, as long as you jusrt had sex with your spouse, you were good. Jesus said that true righteousness went a lot deeper than that. Just being good at following rules doesn't produce the kind of goodness God's kingdom is meant to bring. Goodness in sex isn't tied to rules at all, even the golden rule of sex we have today: consent. Jesus would say the kinds of things we all know are wrong when it comes to sex (things like assault and rape) come from the heart, which means we have to go after lust itself. This is a problem for today's world. Lust is normal and celebrated, and we treat sex like it's ice cream: it's all good, there's no such thing as morally bad ice cream, and everyone just has their own specific tastes. We tell ourselves this view of sex is good and represents progress from the backwards ideas about sex people like Jesus had. But the question we never really ask is this: Is this making us better people? More loving people? Or even happier people? If we're really honest, the answer is no. And this brings us back to what Jesus says. In this message, Pastor Joel helps explain how the sexual revolution overpromised and underdelivered, and how by targeting lust itself Jesus gives what our craving for lust is really all about at the end of the day: real, true intimacy.

Perhaps the defining question of our age is who am I? We are asking what it means to be human now in the age of AI, and we are all asking questions like what gives me value? What is my purpose? Why am I worthy of love, of being known? How can I help bless the world? What will make me feel fulfilled, at peace, truly happy? God thinks answering this question is incredibly important. So important that he put the answer right on page 1 of our Bibles, in the book of Genesis. The answer he gives there to us is that we are image bearers who are made to rule and reign over the world alongside him. What does it mean to reign? Perhaps a more helpful word is responsibility. We are made to exercise responsibility for ‘what we have say over', our ‘domain.' What we have say over includes many things, like our bodies, our time, what we think about, what we steward, our relationships, our churches, and more. But there's a massive problem: Sin. Sin takes our responsibility from us and reigns through us when we try to domineer other people's domains or neglect our own. Both are chronic issues among people, things that if we're honest we do more than we'd care to admit. But God has not left us hanging. Jesus's domain is humans themselves: to take them and make them into the kind of people who can do this, by putting their identity in him. In this timely message, Pastor Joel breaks it all down for us.

There's a common idea of how it takes a village to raise or support someone. A village is a great way to think of what the church, the community of the people of Jesus, is. But what does it actually take to be part of a village? It's harder to know than we might think, and even when we do know it can be even more difficult to actually live it. In a time when people are so lonely and desperately need to be part of the community of Jesus, learning better what Scripture says about how to be a villager is increasingly relevant. In this message, Pastor Julie shares some practical, insightful, and challenging suggestions for how you can be a villager at Res City.

We value independence, a lot. And independence might give us a lot of things we want, but will independence really help us grow as people, especially the people of God? In this message, Pastor Julie explains why we only grow when we rely on God, and accountability to each other is essential to how God helps us to become the people he is crafting us into.

Albert Einstein once said you don't understand something well enough until you can explain it simply. Something similar could be said about the gospel: you may not understand the good news of Jesus well enough if you don't see the necessity of unity and reconciliation. The good news is all about reconciliation: Jesus bringing us back from our rebellion and sin to God through the cross. The disciple, pastor, and writer in the early church Paul knew this, and he puts it this way: we have been given a ministry of reconciliation. What might it look like to take this seriously? In this message, Pastor Joel tells the story of Philemon and Onesimus, a slave and master whom Paul worked to reconcile across even the terrible chasm of slavery. For Paul, we find, reconciliation means hard work, and has to flow first out of Christlike character, which Paul describes in detail in another letter and which Pastor Joel practically walks through to close the message.

Vulnerability, being real, and authentic—these things are desired by many. We want to be vulnerable and live in the midst of vulnerable community. But we don't really know how, and it's much harder than we think. Christians believe the problem with vulnerability is our sin, which leads to shame, which breaks relationships. In this message, Pastor Julie explains how Jesus is the answer to our shame, which allows us to  repair relationships and be vulnerable in them. She also discusses the tragic consequences to living without vulnerability.

Life hasn't exactly handed us a smooth, glamorous path this year. But - just like the Morton Salt girl whose anti-caking salt still pours in the rain - we too are learning to cope, recalibrate, and look towards the future with optimism.

Jesus wants us to be salty—weird, unique, different in a good way for the good of our world, by offering it the special blessings of Jesus and the gospel. But there's a lot of reasons we could say that Christians aren't that weird, and one of the main ways has to do with politics. Many people have walked away from faith in Jesus at least in part because they hoped Christians would be different—and they weren't! How might we begin to look different? In this message, Pastor Joel explains how it all starts with whether or not we see Jesus and his teaching as actually having something to offer not just out political beliefs, but equally as importantly, the kinds of people we are in our politics. Specifically, Jesus talks about how we are not to be controlled by fear or give into anger, which breeds contempt. Fear and anger are both incredibly important compinents of American politics, and Pastor Joel offers some suggestions for weeding them out of how we participate in the politics of our time.

Have you ever noticed how many books and movies are about someone who lives what seems to be a dull life, but then discovers a world behind ours, filled with mystery, wonder, but that is also frightening and dangerous? It seems like we have a sense that the world might actually be like that, but we have been told for so long that is not the way the world actually is. Things that people used to call “demonic” are just the products of unfortunate circumstances and some chemical imbalances in the brain. But the Bible wants to let us in on a secret: our sense that there is some conflict beyond ours is right. It's what Christians call spiritual conflict. In this message, Pastor Joel takes us through a study of this world from multiple passages of Scripture. He gives us an introduction to Satan, the spiritual warlord and general of hordes of others diabolical spiritual forces. He explains how Satan has taken control of our world and we're all stuck in it, and—most importantly—he talks about where Jesus is operating in the midst of it all and how the good news of his death and resurrection is our deliverance from it all.

Faith is one of the most commonly discussed concepts in the whole Bible. Almost every single book of the New Testament refers to it. It's how we begin and continue a Christian life of discipleship. It's so central that the author of Hebrews writes, “It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). What does faith that pleases or delights God look like? In this message, Pastor Joel tackles that question and talks about how we can focus on Jesus to fortify four legs of a stool of faith and be people who can manage through wavering and being of two minds when trust is required.

We've been in a series about how what makes Christians weird is what makes them “salty”, people who can make the world much better than it is. Probably the strangest thing Christians believe is that a man convicted and executed as a criminal came back to life again and now we worship him as God and rescuer of our souls. The writer and pastor Paul says in his letter to a group of Christians in the ancient city of Corinth (1 Corinthians 15) that the resurrection of Jesus is at the very heart of what we believe and how we live. It's because Jesus has ended the dynasty over all humanity that death had, and when he returns all who trust in him will be raised again like him. In this Easter message, Pastor Joel unpacks how knowing what the rest of the world doesn't yet helps us be people who live out hope and love and fulfill Jesus' call to be salty.

Welcome to Episode 197! Today, a player in a friendly tournament keeps missing triggers which leads to tension in the group, a poorly built spite deck confuses a playgroup, and the headache of trying to track down a gift exchange deck that was never sent.

We're all pretty aware there is something off with all of us, even if we might not be able to put our finger on it. For centuries, psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, artists and more have been trying to figure out what it is. Christians have always understood the problem to be that we have become enslaved to our “flesh”—our primal, deepest and–yes–most most authentic desires for self-gratification. But so often we are told the real problem we face is actually that we haven't given ourselves over to our deepest and most authentic desires as much as we should!  In this message, Pastor Joel walks through the tension between the Christian view and the worldly one and explains Jesus's answer for what to do about what is wrong with us, and how his answer makes us salt for a world hat badly needs it.

The stats say most people believe in some kind of afterlife. But many who believe there's something beyond this life struggle to believe in the idea of a hell. It's a distinct belief Christians have, one which if we're honest makes us uncomfortable sometimes, too. In this message, Pastor Joel walks through several important passages of Scripture to share what hell is actually going to be like according to Jesus and the biblical authors, which is: the space that exists on the margins of the new creation where what doesn't have a future in God's newly restored earth will reside by its own choice. There's a lot to unpack here, and this message tackles it and explains why we need to talk about it even if it makes us squeamish.

Welcome to Episode 195!

One of the most basic beliefs of Christians, one that is very odd when you think about it, is the doctrine that Jesus is God incarnate, fully human and fully God. This is weird because it works backwards from how we'd expect it to go: normally we'd want to get rid of our embodiedness and the limitations that come with being human, not take it on. Yet, this is exactly what God does, and he does it for several important reasons. As Pastor Joel explains in this message, he does it to show us embodiedness is good, to lead a jailbreak from the prison of sin from the inside, and to show us, as he lives as a human, what it means to be truly human. Taking these seriously helps us to be salt, just as Jesus taught us.
