Evergreen Church Podcast

In the opening week of our Rooted series, we ask one of life’s biggest questions: Who is God? Looking at the first chapter of John, we discover that the clearest picture of God comes through Jesus Himself. He is the Word made flesh—the visible image of the invisible God. When we know Jesus, we come to truly know who God is and what He’s like.

In this week’s message, we explore what it truly means to be a witness of what Jesus has done in our lives. From Jesus’ final words to His disciples in Luke and Acts, we’re reminded that being His witness isn’t just about knowing the story—it’s about living it out and sharing it with others. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are called to proclaim the hope and transformation that comes from...

In Luke 5, a paralyzed man’s friends stop at nothing to bring him to Jesus—even lowering him through a roof. Their bold faith reminds us what Christian community is all about: helping one another encounter Christ. This week’s message unpacks how small groups are more than just gatherings—they’re essential spaces where we learn, grow, and live on mission together. Discover how your faith, paired wi...

In this message from our What Matters Most series, we look at Luke 6:27–36 where Jesus teaches us what true love looks like. The call to love our enemies goes against everything our human instincts tell us, yet it’s at the heart of what it means to be changed by Jesus. Discover how God’s transforming love reshapes the way we treat others—even those who oppose us—and why this kind of love shows the...

As we celebrate the launch of Evergreen Church, we are taking time in our first series to talk about What Matters Most. This week, we're talking about what it means to Follow Jesus with everything. You can find out more about Evergreen Church at evergreenboise.org

What does the gospel have to do with the way we treat each other? In this message from our Galatians series, we explore how gospel-shaped relationships bring restoration, compassion, and humility. We’ll see that the gospel calls us to gently restore those caught in sin, come alongside others to carry their burdens, and celebrate God’s work without comparing ourselves. When we truly love people, we...

This week, we are blessed with a message from Pastor Jesse from Northstate Church ahead of Hill City West's merger with Northstate next month. Starting in September, we will go forward as Evergreen Church! In this message, we explore what it truly means to walk by the Spirit and not gratify the desires of the flesh. We take an honest look at the difference between those who bear the fruit of the S...

Some prisoners get so used to life behind bars that they choose to go back, even after they've been released. Pauls writes to the Galatians with a similar warning: don't return to the chains Jesus has already broken. In Christ, we're not just freed from guilt, shame, and legalism. We're freed for a life of love, purpose, as truth. It's time to walk out of the prison, shake off the chains, and step...

What do Harriet Tubman, ancient covenants, and Paul's shocking allegory in Galatians 4 have in common? A powerful call to live free and bring others to you.  You can find out more about Hill City West at hillcityboise.org/west  

Pastoring is both beautiful and brutal. In this message from Galatians 4, we get a glimpse into the raw, personal heart of the Apostle Paul -- a pastor who's deeply burdened for people he loves yet sees them drifting from the gospel. If you've ever loved someone who walked away from Jesus, or if you've felt the pull to go back to the very things Christ set you free from, this sermon is for you. Yo...

This week, we continued our series through Galatians with a message titled “Inheritance,” exploring Galatians 3:23 through 4:7. In this passage, Paul paints a beautiful picture of what it means to belong to God—not just as saved sinners, but as adopted sons and daughters. Because of Christ, we don’t just get salvation—we receive the full inheritance of a firstborn child. That means access, identit...

This week, we continued our series through Galatians with a powerful message from our guest speaker, Mario Romero, titled “Law & Promise.” Teaching from Galatians 3:15–22, Mario helped us explore how the law, while not opposed to God's promises, has limitations—especially when it comes to our witness and fully experiencing the life God has promised us in Christ. If you've ever wrestled with ho...

In this passage, the Apostle Paul speaks directly to a confused and drifting church—reminding them, and us, of the only way we can truly be accepted by God. It’s a powerful confrontation that gets to the heart of the gospel: What kind of person does God accept? How do we live in the freedom and power of the Spirit, rather than falling back into relying on our own efforts? If you've ever wrestled w...

In a world where Christian leaders seem to fall from grace with alarming regularity, what does Galatians 2 teach us about leadership, integrity, and staying true to the gospel? In this message, we examine one of the most intense confrontations in the New Testament: Paul publicly rebuking Peter, not over scandal or heresy, but a subtle drift that threatened the very heart of the gospel. What Peter...

In Galatians 2, the Apostle Paul fights to ensure that the gospel isn’t lost, distorted, or withheld. This message explores how the good news of Jesus isn’t just for us—it’s meant to go through us, reaching those who haven’t yet heard. Just like a package that never reaches its destination, an undelivered gospel can’t change lives. Paul reminds us that we’re not just recipients of grace—we’re the...

In this episode, we dive into Galatians 1:11–24, where Paul recounts how the gospel he preaches didn’t come from man, but from a direct revelation of Jesus Christ. Once a fierce persecutor of the church, Paul became one of its greatest missionaries—proof that only God can transform a life so radically. The gospel isn’t just about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection—it’s the invitation to a change...

In his letter to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul is confronting a crisis: the gospel of Jesus Christ was being replaced with something "new and improved." But any attempt to change the gospel only ruins it. We'll uncover the simple, unchangeable truth of the original gospel--centered on who Jesus is, what He's done, and how we receive Him. Don't fall for a counterfeit. Discover why the real gospel...

This summer, we're diving into the book of Galatians - a bold, urgent letter that calls us back to the heart of the gospel. In a world full of performance, pressure and confusion, the letter to the Galatians reminds us that Jesus invites us to live in the freedom of the Spirit, not legalism. Discover what true gospel transformation looks like.  Text: Galatians 1-6 You can find out more about Hill...

Conflict is inevitable—but how we respond reveals who we are becoming. Some of us attack head on, others avoid it altogether. But in Romans 12, Paul offers a third way: the way of Jesus. Instead of fighting fire with fire let’s fight with humility, empathy, and radical love. Whether you’ve burned bridges or buried hurt, this message offers a path forward—and shows us how to be peacemakers in a div...

You can’t follow Jesus alone. Not “shouldn’t”—can’t. He calls us into community—to draw near in faith, hold fast in hope, and stir one another up in love. Because of what Jesus has done, we have full access to God—and we’re meant to walk this out together. Join us as we dive into Hebrews 10:19-25 to better learn how we as the church can follow Jesus with everything.  You can find out more about Hi...

In this powerful message from our Better Together series, guest speaker Scott Lerwick, President of Boise Bible College, unpacks the theme of unity from Ephesians 4:1–7. Scott challenges us to live lives worthy of our calling by pursuing humility, gentleness, patience, and love. Unity isn’t just a goal—it’s a calling for every believer. Discover how the body of Christ is strengthened when we walk...

This week we start a new series Better Together. We will explore the heart of Christian community: love. Jesus commands us in John 13:34–35 to love one another as He has loved us — a love marked by service and sacrifice. In this message, we look at what it means to start with those closest to us, doing for one what we wish we could do for everyone. We learn the difference between carrying burdens...

In his final breath, Jesus says, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit," showing us what it means to fully trust God even in suffering. The cross was not the end, and the empty tomb proves it. Jesus is alive, and because of that, we can experience new life. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or choosing daily to follow Christ, this message will lead you to a place of deeper su...

This week as we continue our series on the Last Words of Jesus we ask, "What does Jesus mean as he cries out 'It is finished' while hanging on the cross?" And what does Jesus's work on the cross mean for us today. Join us as Pastor Nick helps us unpack this extremely important saying from Jesus.

Out of all of the words Jesus speaks from the cross, there's one that is both the most relatable and most confusing: "I Thirst." This week, our Youth Director Brennan Hinton helps explain the significance of Jesus' thirst from the cross. From physical thirst, to fulfilling Scriptures and inviting others into His Kingdom. Are You Thirsty?
