In this sermon, we walk through the narrative of Joshua 2, where two spies are sent to scout out the city of Jericho. Rather than finding a typical military stronghold, they find an ally in Rahab, a woman whose recognition of the power of the God of Israel leads her to risk everything. We break down the significance of the crimson cord, the oath of protection, and the report the spies brought back to Joshua. This study highlights how God works through ordinary people and complex situations to fulfill his promises, proving that his plan is moving forward even when the obstacles seem insurmountable.

We’ve been in this series Romans: For Life, where we’ve learned from the Apostle Paul, Rabbi Paul, that we aren’t just saved from eternal evil but we are saved for something else: we are saved for eternal glory and for God’s good Spirit-filled work in our lives. Paul’s confidence is rooted in who he understands God to be. Paul is rooting his confidence not just in the happening of this, but in the God who is in sovereign control of all the happenings of the universe. When we embrace faith in Jesus we are God’s children. And we are co-heirs with Christ. Meaning we have the same inheritance as Jesus.

When we think of rescue, it’s natural to ask: “Rescue from what?” But with Jesus, rescue is more! When God sought to rescue creation from brokenness, injustice, sin and death, he always planned to save us “for” a more beautiful, good, and true way of being. 

Jesus didn’t just save us from sin but for life—with him—now and forever. But how is life with God different from life without God? And why would anyone actually want that kind of life?

23.11.26

We’ve all had that moment when who you want to be and who you are is met with frustration. Where does that frustration come from? You can’t help but be hopeful that there’s more but we often experience our helplessness in our inability to change. Is this a me problem or something more?

Join us as we continue our journey through the Book of Romans and see what’s really going on in the world and in us in this world.

23.11.19

We’ve all been “had” before, and some of us would describe most of our relationships as places where people want something from us. But what about God? What if God really is different? What if he has proven he is different? That might open us up to a new way of being in his world, with him, and with others.

Join us as we continue our journey through the Book of Romans and see what it really means to be a friend of God.

23.11.12

Have you ever wondered where God is in spaces, cities, or situations where there are no obvious signs of His presence? Listen to pastor Johannes as he invites us to see God at work in subtle ways in places where He is seemingly absent.

23.10.29

If there’s a current in the stream of our world, it’s doubt, and it's pulling on the hearts of minds of believers and unbelievers alike. How do we make our way through a disorienting world of doubt?

Join us as we explore the ancient and proven guidance of God’s word as we continue to walk through Romans.

23.10.22

Have you ever heard yourself bragging about being a Christian? Have you caught yourself boasting about all the things you “do for God”? In this sermon, we explore why such bragging is inappropriate for a Christian. On the contrary, our salvation as a gracious gift from God should produce in us humility.

23.10.15

If there’s nothing we can do to save ourselves, why does it matter if I still try to obey God? Why does God tell me what to do when he knows I can’t do it? Isn’t he just setting me up for failure? 

Too often we answer this question with one of two insufficient answers. We either say there’s no point in trying to obey God because we can’t and he’ll just forgive us anyways, or we assume we must be able to do what is right from our own power without God. Join us as we continue our series in Romans and hear how the Apostle Paul answers this important question.

There are few questions that are quite as loaded and comforting as “Are you okay?” The range of responses could be “Sure” to “Not even close.” 

What God has to offer us in this space is the answer we long for, but without him we don’t have the eyes to see. Join us as we continue our rescuing journey in the book of Romans and learn how we can be okay today…and forever.

23.10.01

The #1 barrier for anyone from following Jesus is NOT the claims of the gospel or the person of Jesus. Rather, it is the hypocrisy of Christians. 

Why is this such a persistent issue, and is there an alternative? Join us as we continue to unpack God’s heart for rescue in Romans.

The verdict is that judging someone makes you the worst. Wait? I guess I’m not allowed to say that. But at least it's not as bad as some people. Oh boy, I did it again. 

Everyone hates a judgy posture, even Jesus and Paul, but why? Christians answer this question differently than the rest of the world, and the reason may surprise even the most faithful of followers. Join us as we continue to unpack God’s heart for rescue in Romans.

What would a world without God look like? What would we be like? How would we show up in such a world? What is its end or trajectory? 

Join us as we continue to see how deep God’s rescue runs for all who call on the name of Jesus.

It is so easy to feel shame for being a follower of Jesus in our day. In our broader cultural imagination, following Jesus is associated with, at best, being weird, and at worst, being the villain. If it is hard to be bold as a Christian today, it would have been almost impossible for the Apostle Paul in his time. Yet, he is eager to preach the good news because he is not ashamed of the gospel.

Join us as we learn why we too can be proud of the good news and how we can become more bold in sharing it!
