  A Pastoral Charge 13.09.2026 42min

  In 1 Timothy 1:1–2, Paul introduces himself as an apostle called by God and writes to Timothy, whom he considers a beloved son in the faith. From the very beginning, Paul anchors his message in Christ Jesus as our hope, reminding Timothy that his ministry and identity are rooted in Him. These opening verses set the tone for the letter as an encouragement to remain faithful to Christ and the calling God has given.

  The Good Life 06.09.2026 38min

  Psalm 1 presents two very different paths: the way of those who delight in the Lord and the way of those who reject Him. Those who root their lives in God’s Word are compared to a tree planted by streams of water—steadfast, nourished, and bearing fruit in its season. In contrast, a life apart from God is like chaff, temporary and easily swept away. The psalm invites us to find our delight in God’s Word and trust Him to establish our lives as we faithfully walk in His ways.

  Scripture and the Life of God in You 26.04.2026 36min

  All Scripture is given by God Himself and carries authority and purpose for our lives. It teaches us truth, corrects our thinking, and shapes our character so that we grow in righteousness. Through God’s Word, we are continually refined and strengthened in our faith. As we engage with Scripture, it equips us to live faithfully and be prepared for every good work God has called us to.

  Crucified with Christ 04.01.2026 42min

  We see that our whole salvation and all its parts are found in Christ [Acts 4:12]. We should therefore take care not to derive it from anywhere else. If we seek salvation, we are taught by the very name of Jesus that it is “of him” [1 Cor 1:30]. If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, in his anointing. If we seek strength, in his power; if purity, in his conception; if gentleness, in his birth. If we seek redemption, it lies in his suffering and death; if acquittal, in his condemnation; if remission of the curse, in his cross [Gal 3:13]; if satisfaction, in his sacrifice; if purification, in his blood; if reconciliation, in his death; if killing of sin, in his tomb; if newness of life and immortality, in his resurrection; if inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom, in his entrance into heaven; if protection, if security, if abundant supply of all blessings, in his Kingdom; if untroubled expectation of judgment, in the power given to him to judge. In short, since rich store of every kind of good abounds in him, let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other. (John Calvin, Institutes, 2.16.19)

  The Spirit of Truth and Victory 28.12.2025 38min

  As we step into a new year, this passage reminds us to walk with both clarity and confidence. Scripture calls us to recognize the enemy by testing what we hear and holding fast to the truth of Jesus Christ. At the same time, we are invited to rejoice in the victory we already have, knowing that the One who lives in us is greater than anything in the world. From that place of assurance, we are sent to remain on mission, listening to God’s truth and living faithfully as His people in the year ahead.

  O Death, Where is Your Victory? 02.11.2025 42min

  In John 11, Jesus receives word that His close friend Lazarus is gravely ill, yet He delays going to him, saying the illness is for God’s glory. When Jesus finally arrives in Bethany, Lazarus has already been dead for four days. Despite the grief of Martha and Mary, Jesus declares, “I am the resurrection and the life,” affirming that those who believe in Him will never truly die. Moved by compassion, Jesus weeps at Lazarus’s tomb and then raises him from the dead, demonstrating His divine power. Many who witnessed this miracle believe in Him, but others report it to the Pharisees, prompting the religious leaders to plot His death. Caiaphas, the high priest, unknowingly prophesies that Jesus would die not just for the nation, but to gather God’s scattered children into one people.

  Blessed to be a Blessing 26.10.2025 39min

  Psalm 67 is a joyful call for God’s blessing—not only for His people, but so that His glory and saving power would be known throughout the earth. The psalmist prays that God would be gracious, bless His people, and make His face shine upon them. This blessing has a purpose: that all nations might come to know, worship, and rejoice in the one true God. It celebrates God’s justice, guidance, and generosity, as even the harvest is seen as a sign of His provision. Ultimately, the psalm looks forward to a day when all the peoples of the earth revere and praise Him together.

  The Gift of God's Word 28.09.2025 43min

  Psalm 19 celebrates both God's creation and His Word. The psalm opens by declaring how the heavens continually proclaim God's glory and handiwork without words, yet are universally understood. It then shifts to highlight the perfection of God's law, describing it as pure, true, and more desirable than gold or honey, capable of reviving the soul and bringing wisdom, joy, and clarity. The psalmist acknowledges human weakness, asking God for forgiveness of hidden faults and protection from willful sin. It ends with a heartfelt prayer that both speech and thought would be pleasing to the Lord, our Rock and Redeemer.

  "Today was supposed to be week 5 of 6 for our series called The Antioch Initiative - an exciting season that we are in as a church - casting vision for our future and where we are headed for the next chapter of the life of our church. But with the tragic week we walked through, we need to shift gears today. We need to spend today lamenting, grieving, and turning to the truth of God's word to guide us."

  Overflow 20.07.2025 43min

  Romans 15:13 is a prayer for believers to be filled with joy and peace as they trust in God. It reminds us that true hope comes from God, not our circumstances.

  The Prayer of Jehoshaphat 08.06.2025 35min

  This Week’s Text: 2 Chronicles 20:1-23When a large army from Moab, Ammon, and Mount Seir threatened Judah, King Jehoshaphat responded with fear but turned to God in prayer and called for a national fast. He gathered the people to seek the Lord and prayed, acknowledging God's power and past faithfulness, and confessed their helplessness in the face of the enemy. God answered through the prophet Jahaziel, declaring that the battle belonged to Him and that the people of Judah would not need to fight. The next day, Jehoshaphat encouraged the people to trust God, and appointed singers to lead in praise as they marched. As they worshiped, God caused confusion among the enemy forces, leading them to destroy each other completely.

  The Universal Call to Ministry 21.04.2024 39min

  We often think about the call to ministry as some kind of charge for those elite few. But as Paul addresses the Ephesians, he shows them something different. We're all called to ministry while some are specifically called to equip others for the task. Josh Patterson explains what it looks like for the church to walk in this truth.

  Dying to Live 17.03.2024 38min

  We have all experienced seasons of despair and hopelessness. These seasons are all that much harder when we know its our own actions that have put us there. In Ezekiel, the prophet is living among a people who are dejected, broken, and facing the consequences that result from generations of sin. In Ezekiel 37, in their darkest hour, God instructs him to prophesy in a way that hints toward new hope and restoration.
