  Truth in Love | Matt Shetler 04.10.2026 41min

  Episode Summary This message from Ephesians 4, week 2 of the One Another series, shows why truth and love can never be separated. Love without truth hides, and truth without love hurts, but together they help us love like Jesus. Listeners are invited to examine the motives behind their words, name the fear and pride that pull them toward hiding or hurting, and find the security to speak honestly in the God who showed both perfectly at the cross. Key Takeaways Love without truth hides, t...

  Every Effort | Matt Shetler 27.09.2026 44min

Key Takeaways - Unity in the church is not something we create from scratch, but something we are called to protect. - Humility means seeing ourselves hones...

  The Focus of Life | Ron Hitchcock 20.09.2026 37min

  What do you talk about most: money, health, your kids, your career? Ron Hitchcock takes us to Jeremiah 9:23-24, where God says the thing worth boasting in is knowing him. Ron shows how our culture's versions of wisdom, riches, and strength (education, career, and health) can quietly become our focus, and why desperate people do desperate things. His answer is practical: bring the question "God, who are you in this?" into your work, your marriage, your parenting, even your hobbies, and let it ...

  The Next Chapter | Matt Shetler 13.09.2026 41min

  We all wrestle with the question of what's next — whether it's college, marriage, kids, a career change, or just the next season of life. This week we land in Acts 24–28, following Paul through two years of unjust imprisonment, an appeal to Caesar, a hurricane at sea, and a shipwreck — and the book of Acts ends without ever telling us how his story wraps up. From Paul's example, we look at four things that carried him through the uncertainty: keeping Jesus as his center, knowing his calling, ...

  This is My Story | Tom Wadsworth 06.09.2026 45min

  Episode Summary Paul’s testimony in Acts 22 shows how a real encounter with the risen Jesus can completely redirect a life—from resistance and blindness to baptism, healing, and purpose. This message invites listeners to see that the same Jesus still reveals himself, speaks to his people, and leads them through suffering with courage and hope. Key Takeaways - Your story of meeting Jesus can be one of your strongest testimonies. - Jesus meets people personally, but he oft...

  He Has A Name | Matt Shetler 30.08.2026 28min

  Episode Summary In this message from Acts 17, we’re reminded that people have always searched for something to fill the space only God can fill. Through Paul’s words in Athens, this sermon points us away from idols and toward the God who is not unknown—God has made Himself known in Jesus. Key Takeaways - Idols aren’t just statues; they can be anything we treat as ultimate or believe will finally make us whole. - The true God is not needy or controlled by human effort—He ...

  On the Other Side of Your Yes | Matt Shetler 23.08.2026 41min

  Episode Summary In this message from Acts 16, we’re reminded that following God’s lead doesn’t always look like open doors and easy outcomes. Sometimes obedience includes closed doors, redirection, suffering, and unexpected opportunities—and on the other side of our yes, God may be reaching people we never could have imagined. Key Takeaways - God’s “no” or “not yet” is not failure; it may be his guidance. - Discernment is meant to happen in community, not just in isolati...

  Nothing Left to Prove | Matt Shetler 16.08.2026 41min

  Episode Summary In this message from Acts 15, Matt explores the difference between grace and the exhausting pressure to prove ourselves before God. Through the early church’s debate over law, belonging, and salvation, the sermon reminds us that Jesus has already done what we could never do—and that freedom changes how we see ourselves and others. Key Takeaways - Salvation is received by grace through faith, not by keeping a religious scorecard. - Jesus removes the pressur...

  Called and Sent | Erin Shetler 09.08.2026 32min

  Episode Summary In this message from Acts 13, we see how the church at Antioch listened together, fasted, and responded when the Holy Spirit called Barnabas and Saul to be sent out. This sermon invites us to consider how God speaks, how community helps confirm calling, and how making room for God can shape our next faithful step. Key Takeaways - Fasting helps create intentional space to pay attention to God and listen for his voice. - Calling is often discerned in commun...

  The Miracle of Ordinary Obedience | Casey Tobik 12.07.2026 49min

  What if the most world-changing moments in your faith don't feel extraordinary at all? This week, Pastor Matt welcomes Casey Tobik — Prayer Pastor at King's Church and Midwest Regional Director for 24/7 Prayer — to unpack one of Scripture's most overlooked hinge-moments: Ananias in Acts 9. Not Saul. Not the Damascus road. The ordinary, hesitant, honest disciple God called to place his hands on the very man who'd been hunting Christians. Casey walks through what it actually looks like to hear ...

  First Things First | Tom Wadsworth 31.05.2026 39min

  A woman moves to Philadelphia because her brother calls and says "God is here." College students sell their stuff to help a stranger. Three thousand strangers become one family overnight. This is the early church in Acts 2 — and it wasn't built by strategy or social engineering. It was built one heart at a time. This week we explore what it looks like when a community is actually devoted.
