Episodes

Reese LeRoy | God’s offer of new creation calls us to leave old patterns of brokenness and pain to live in new freedom and health in Christ alone – a work brought about by the Holy Spirit. As followers of Jesus, our focus is not “sin management,” but intimate relationship with God that leads to dependency and obedience to Him.

Reese LeRoy | We conclude our series on Easter Sunday with “Resurrection and Life Everlasting.” We’ll look at Jesus’ healing of Lazarus and see that resurrection is an event, a person, a process, and a present reality for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Angela Otero | An important part of understanding our relationship with God is the ability to contemplate the forgiveness of our sins, and before we can understand the importance of Easter we must wrestle with our own human need for saving.

Reese LeRoy | As we continue our series on the Apostles’ Creed, our focus is “the communion of saints” – the local church. Jesus builds his church with perfectly imperfect people and makes it the primary instrument for advancing his kingdom. Pastor Reese explains what commitment to and love for the local church looks like and how it should be expressed by all the “saints.”

Rodger Otero | We are the answer (or non-answer) to Jesus’ prayer for unity.

This week in our series “The Mystery of Faith,” we focus on the Holy Spirit. The third Person of the Trinity is our Encourager and our Helper in all things – including prayer. We will look at Romans 8 to see how the Holy Spirit wants to help us pray.

Reese LeRoy | We continue our study of the Apostles’ Creed with a focus on Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord. We will consider how Jesus comes in love to make visible the invisible God and how we ultimately proclaim that Jesus is Lord through our obedience.

Rodger Otero | Jesus describes the Father as a Gardener who loves us and wants us to flourish.

Reese & Mary-Margaret LeRoy | We conclude the series with EROS because for EROS or intimate and sexual love to be all that God intended it to be, it must be rooted in a committed friendship and a bond of familial love between a husband and wife, which is built on AGAPE, unconditional, selfless and sacrificial love, God’s kind of love.

Angela Otero | Human families teach us broken love, but God can redeem and heal us with the purest love.

Patrick Campbell | The importance of Godly friendship in the body of Christ.

Reese LeRoy | AGAPE: love that is unconditional, benevolent, self-giving, doesn’t ask for anything in return, and doesn’t consider the worth of its object.

Reese LeRoy | We are people of the Kingdom of God who pursue culturally relevant missions in the world.

Mary-Margaret LeRoy | Engaging in Compassionate Ministry done through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit is why we exist.

Rodger Otero | It is God’s great pleasure to put all things back together in Christ.

Reese LeRoy | We are a people of the Kingdom of God who experience and worship God. As people of a kingdom, we recognize that we have a King who is worthy of our worship.

Reese LeRoy | We are people of the Kingdom of God who partner with the Holy Spirit.

Rodger Otero | Life after Christmas is when real life begins.

Reese LeRoy | Something that there is no shortage of in the world around us and maybe even no shortage in our own lives…fear. What about exchanging “A Spirit of Fear for an Embrace of Love” specifically the perfect love of God given to us through His Son Jesus.

Rodger Otero | Jesus comes like a gardener to exchange our desolate badlands for a joyous oasis.

Reese LeRoy | In Reese’s sermon, he talks about the wonderful thing that happens when we exchange our turmoil for Messiah’s peace.

Angela Otero | This Advent we’re approaching Christmas day through prophecies from the book of Isaiah. We all have a need to hope, and Isaiah speaks of a hope in Someone Greater who promises to exchange real-life battles for real-life hope.

Reese LeRoy | In Jesus’ interaction with the woman caught in adultery, we get a picture of how God treats with kindness, those taken advantage of by inequitable systems that leverage shame.

Mary-Margaret LeRoy | Mark 1:40-45 talks about a man with leprosy that seeks healing from Jesus. Jesus shows compassion for this man and heals him. Likewise we should show others this same type of compassion. Mary-Margaret discusses this in depth. Let’s listen.
