Ever feel like there are unnecessary hoops between you and what you need? I recently experienced this with my Wi-Fi — and it reminded me of Paul’s message in Romans 14–15.

In this episode, we explore how the early church struggled with unnecessary barriers between Jewish and Gentile believers, and what it means for us today. Using a simple Wi-Fi analogy, we unpack what it looks like to welcome one another fully, without judgment or pressure, so that everyone can connect with the life Christ offers.

In a world where community feels fractured and leaders often fall short, how do we find hope? Drawing on Jeremiah 23 and the 1980s classic Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics, this sermon explores what it means to be scattered, disappointed, and anxious — and points us to the ultimate trustworthy King, Jesus Christ.Join us as we reflect on:The pressures of trying to “keep your head up” in a broken worldWhat Jeremiah teaches about scattered communities and failed shepherdsHow Christ the King offers hope, restoration, and a shepherd we can trustPerfect for anyone seeking encouragement, perspective, and biblical insight for today’s challenges.

In this week’s sermon, we explore Luke 21 and the story of the widow’s offering, drawing a vivid parallel with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Just as Indy recognizes the true treasure in the simple “cup of the carpenter,” Jesus teaches us to see beyond glittering appearances—whether wealth, status, or even the trappings of worship—and focus on what truly lasts: hearts devoted to God.We also reflect on practical applications for daily life: how we spend our time, steward our resources, and invest in relationships. True life is found not in worldly treasures, but in faith, obedience, and trust in God.

📖 Scripture: Luke 21:1–19
