Emmaus Church

Imagine the most powerful person on earth and the most compassionate one. Jesus is both and so much more. Pastor Andrew walks us through Mark 1:21-34 where Jesus puts his power and compassion on display through some incredible miracles.

**How do we respond when Jesus calls?** As we look at the calling of the first disciples, we learn that when Jesus calls, we marvel at His grace, forsake everything else, and join in the mission of God.

Pastor Andrew kicks off our new series in the Gospel of Mark by discussing 4 signs that Jesus is what Mark claims him to be “The Son of God”.

Is self-control just saying “no” to bad things? The biblical vision of self-control is actually something much bigger. Pastor Andrew walks us through 1 Corinthians 9, showing us that self-control is the hard work of ordering our loves rightly—and that without the power of God at work within us, we simply can’t do it.

When was the last time you prayed for God to make you a gentle person? Gentleness is an often-overlooked dimension of the fruit of the Spirit. Pastor Andrew leads us through Matthew 11, looking at the gentle and lowly spirit of Jesus and how gentleness is a supernatural superpower forged through suffering.

Our friend and guest preacher, Bryan Nichols, walked us through Luke 9, reminding us that God saved us to send us. Through the story of Jesus feeding 5,000 people, he reminded us that sharing our faith requires simple trust and obedience—the rest is up to God!

What does faithfulness in the Christian life really look like? Sometimes, we can overcomplicate it. Pastor Andrew walks us through Acts 2, reminding us of the gift of faith and showing us what it looks like to practice faithfulness in our everyday lives.

Guest preacher, Dr. Dan Hyun, walks us through the story of Barnabas-- a missionary gifted with encouragement and steadfast presence. Helping us see the value staying present with the Lord and with His people—even when it feels impossible!

Guest preacher, Andrew Secrist, walks us through Jonah 1 . Helping us see how God's Mercy, rightly understood, will lead us to be on mission for God--carrying mercy and grace to those around us.

You can do the right thing for the wrong reason. What makes Christian kindness different? In this sermon, Pastor Andrew walks us through the relationship between kindness and goodness, how Jesus embodied both, and what happens when the Spirit produces them in us.

Have you ever wondered where God is when you suffer? Jesus’ own disciples had their doubts! Guest preacher, Michael Eufemia, walked us through John 6:16-21 showing us that God is sovereign, present, and powerful over each and every moment of our life— even the hard ones!

Patience is the fourth aspect of the fruit of the Spirit—but for many of us, it's also one of the hardest to cultivate. In this sermon, Pastor Andrew walks through James 5 to explore what biblical patience really is, why waiting can feel so difficult, and how God uses seasons of suffering, uncertainty, and delay to produce lasting fruit in our lives.

Peace is not something humanity can produce on its own. So what is it, why do we need it, and how do we actually get it? This week we sit with Philippians 4 and the third fruit of the Spirit, and find a man writing from prison who somehow can't stop talking about peace. Paul gives us a simple roadmap: rejoice, pray with thanksgiving, and dwell on what is true. The peace of God is available to you...

Joy is not a feeling you manufacture. It's fruit — and fruit grows through a process. This week we land in James 1:2-4 alongside Galatians 5 to trace the chain: trials produce steadfastness, steadfastness produces maturity, and the Spirit is the one doing the producing. God is using the hard thing in your life right now to build joy that you could never build yourself.

Love isn't just the first fruit on Paul's list; it's the foundation everything else is built on This week we kick off a new series in the fruit of the Spirit, landing in 1 Corinthians 13 to ask two questions: why does love come first, and where do we actually get it? Because duty can direct your actions, but it cannot sustain your heart. Only the love of Christ can do that.

Jesus is coming back, so what do we do in the meantime? Pastor Andrew closes out 2 Peter with four things the church must hold onto while we wait: pursuing holiness, fighting for peace, clinging to Scripture, and growing in the grace and knowledge of our King.

Jesus is coming back. You probably already know that. But do you actually live like it? This week Pastor Adam Wilson from Redemption City Church, Emmaus's sending church, preaches from 2 Peter 3 and invites us into something more than just knowing the right information. Scoffers will come. Doubts will rise. But the sovereign, timeless, merciful, and just God of the universe is patient and He is co...

False teachers aren't just an ancient problem. Peter says they'll be sitting at the table with you. 👀 This week we dug into 2 Peter 2 — three markers that give them away, and three questions worth asking about your own heart.

False teaching isn't just an ancient problem. It's alive and well — and it always starts the same way. 👀 This week, Pastor Andrew dug into 2 Peter 2 and found a God who is both judge and rescuer. The world is full of voices competing for your hope. But there's only one who actually bought you.

The kingdom doesn't stop for opposition, discouragement, or even death. In Acts 20, Dr. Doug Logan shows us a church on the move — and a Jesus who keeps giving life to the dead.

Peter is writing this letter knowing he's about to die — and he wants to make sure you don't forget what he saw. This week we sit with 2 Peter 1:12-21 and the eyewitness testimony of a man who was on the mountain, heard the voice, and spent the rest of his life pointing people back to it. Jesus is worth staking your life on — and Peter saw it with his own eyes.

Pastor Andrew preaches from 2 Peter on spiritual growth answering the questions “Who is God forming me to be?” and “How does God want to refine me?”

We know the verses, but we still struggle to forgive. We know God is faithful, but panic when life gets hard. We know truth in our heads — it just hasn't reached our hearts yet. Sound familiar? That's exactly the tension Peter is writing into. This week, Pastor Andrew kicks off a new series in 2 Peter with a simple but convicting invitation: stop settling for information without transformation, an...

18 weeks in Exodus. This is the finale. As Israel prepares to move forward into the unknown, Moses asks the question we all ask: how do we keep going? This week Pastor Andrew closes out Exodus with 6 principles for centering your life on God — no matter what's changing around you.

Israel had just witnessed miracle after miracle — and 40 days later they're melting down gold jewelry to worship a calf. This week Pastor Andrew digs into Exodus 32 and shows us why we're not so different, what fear does to our worship, and why Jesus does what Moses — and no one else — ever could.
