What does agony, Olympic (or in this case, Isthmian) glory and playing by the rules have in common? Join us as we go back to the 3rd sermon I ever preached and look at Paul's encouragment and warning to the Corinthian church.

As we look at the Christian virtue of faith, it is all too easy to have an idealistic view of what that means. However, to live in complete trust of what Jesus says is to invite a level of difficulty and suffering into our lives. Let's jump into Mark 9 and look at different types of faith weaken and grow strong as each heart interacts with the Author of faith.

A worship service turned funeral. Joy turned to sorrow. Praise songs turned to dirges. This was the day David tried to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and was met with tragic results. Worship can often seem spontaneous and without rules, but God's holiness demands we come into His presence His way and not our way. Join us as we look into 2 Samuel 6 to work through the times when worship offends us.

Everyone worships, but not everyone worships the One who is most worthy. It's easy to think of idolatry and false worship as something done by pagans outside of the church but Jesus has His most staunch warnings against idolatry that can happen inside religious communities. Join us today as we explore Romans 1 and Matthew 15 with some help from David Powlison.

In this episode, we will look at how to worry ourselves into an early grave! Join us today as Zach tries to provide ironic counter points to the very strong arguments Jesus uses to encourage the believer not to worry in Matthew 6.

Where does our identity and security come from? In the world we live in we are told that identity is personal while security is often seen as coming from the external. Join us today as we look at Paul's instruction to us in 1 Corinthians 1.

Abraham waited decades for the promised Isaac to be given and received the promise with great joy. But one horrifying day, he received a command to sacrifice the son of promise to the very God who gave him in the first place. Join us today as we unpack one of the key moments in the Abraham's life that foreshadows the most important moment in history.

So much of life is spent waiting. We wait in traffic, we wait for the weekend, we wait on hold, we wait to be seen and we wait to be seated. Much of life is spent waiting. Yet in the waiting, God is building our character and teaching us faith. Join in today, as we wait along with Abraham wondering, "Is God really going to keep His promise?"
