Mission Church: Teaching Podcast

Jesus wants us to be a part of the work He is doing! All we have to do is position our heart to be open and available to love our neighbors.

Loving thy neighbor is uncomfortable when we go over to where they are and get involved in what they need. But it's what Jesus has called us to do! What “neighbor” is God calling you to love this week?

In the midst of a wounded world, what is your response? Instead of throwing up our hands, as followers of Jesus, we need to open our hands with love. Love expressing itself in compassion doesn’t turn a blind eye, love sees with eyes wide open.

For Mother's Day this year, we had the pleasure of welcoming Jeanne Stevens back to Mission! She taught us all about the importance of presence from her new book, What's Here Now?

Your giving is relational with God. It's not about a transaction, it's about asking God what He has for you, believing in His promises, and committing to be generous.

Instead of wishing for change, we can create habits that cause change. Are our habits leading us toward a more pure life or just a more productive life?

Change isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible! One holy habit at a time can make a huge impact in our life.

Closing the gap doesn’t just come from us or just from God, but it comes from all of God AND all of us, all the time. Our habits with God shape who we are.  We all have some misconceptions about habits. Today, Jon shows us that a vision of tomorrow creates habits of discipline for today. 

What are the odds that death is the end of the story? We know that death wounds, but death doesn't win!

Every sheep is the same but not every shepherd is. We all, like sheep, have gone astray. Luckily for us, we have a good shepherd who came to our rescue.

Jesus is inclusive. He offers to all people the way in which is exclusive; our eternity in Heaven. We know that we will have trouble in this world, but as followers of Jesus, we can count on the promise of eternity with Him.

Jesus is our shepherd. We are all invited to enter through His gate and receive His protection and provision. The Shepherd is calling, will you respond to His voice?

Jesus is the true vine! When we are connected to the true vine of life, we will bear good fruit in our life.  Today, pray, "God I trust you, and God I thank you."

Jesus is the bread you have been hungering for! This message will help you open the door and receive the bread of life.

Our position in the world is dark, but Jesus provides our light! Jesus not only provides light in the darkness but offers it to us. We can be light for others through Jesus! When we allow Jesus to be light in us, we will walk in light. Reject the darkness, receive the light, reflect the light. 

Who is Jesus? Well, Jesus answered that Himself! He said, "I am". Today, Jon Peacock helps us understand what that means to prepare us for the next seven weeks of diving into all of the "I am..." statements found in John.

We want to see families following Jesus together throughout the week in their homes, schools, and neighborhoods. Kaylee Frank and Dan Lovalgia join Jon Peacock today to help us do that! If you want to win at parenting, this message is for you.

If we want to be built to last, we have to depend on the Holy Spirit. If we want to remain in the power of the Spirit, we must constantly be filled with the Spirit!

Today, we had the honor of welcoming Hugh Halter to Mission! He and his wife have been on mission for over 30 years. Him and Dan Ruta share God's larger story for us, the church, and how we can be the church, just not at the church.

When the unexpected test comes, it’s too late to get ready, you’re either ready or not. If you stay ready, you won’t have to get ready! 

Your life is telling a story! Are you making sure yours is of transformation? Today's message is all about how you can be "never the same" in Christ.

Today Jon teaches us how to go from a consumer of the church to a contributor to the church. We are better together!

Being a church that is built to last means having a solid foundation. To become a more effective aircraft carrier, we must be a model of the church that’s foundation is built upon the place where God dwells... in you and I. We must build that foundation on the faith of God’s mission!

God shows up regardless of the place or person. He showed up in Bethlehem and to a lowly group of shepherds. God shows up because love is showing up.

Will you be devoted in the dark? When you're having a blue Christmas and it feels like the lights have gone out, we can do what Joseph did in scripture. We can choose to Wait in the dark, Respond in the dark, and Believe in the dark.
