Ephesians 5:18-21 - There are few doctrines as simultaneously confusing and crucial for living the Christian life as the nature of what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. In Paul's clearest teaching on this in Ephesians 5, we learn that we are commanded to continually pursue this filling and just how crucial it is for living the Christian life with power and integrity. A sermon by Cameron...

Acts 1-2 - On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit of God was poured out powerfully, marking one of the most dramatic turning points in history.

Mark 10:46-52 - Jesus encounters a blind beggar crying out for mercy. Though the crowds dismiss this man, Jesus brings him close. In this man we see the kind of desperate faith that defines the ideal disciple in Jesus's kingdom. Do we share it? A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Mark 10:32-45 - In this passage Jesus predicts his death a third time and is once again met with the disciples fighting for their own positions.

Mark 10:1-12 - Jesus's teachings continue to get more personal as he continues his journey toward Jerusalem.

Ephesians 4:1-16 - The New Testament knows nothing of a disciple of Jesus who is not part of a local church. The local church is the place where we actually work out our theology in our real lives and real relationships. It's where we are helped by and contribute to the beautiful diversity of the family of God. It is the place where we are, together, built up to maturity in love. A sermon by Camer...

Jude 3-4; Acts 2:5-11 - Jesus has been building his church across history and across the globe ever since he birthed it by his Spirit on the day of Pentecost.

If we're going to faithfully interpret Jesus and his Scriptures, we should allow ourselves to b...

2 Timothy 3:16 - If we're going to be faithful to Jesus, we must be faithful to the Bible that He viewed as authoritative and trustworthy.

A sermon by Josh Wilder. [Part 2 of the series "Theology in Co...

1 Corinthians 15:12-19; Luke 24:27; Hebrews 1:1-4; John 14:5-9 - No one can escape the reality of being a theologian--the question is whether we're faithful ones. But how can we be confident we're not pursuing a faith of our own creation? One of the most important supports we can lean into is community. And there is no better foundation on which to do theology than in community with Jesus Christ,...

Matthew 28:1-20 - Though Easter is an annual celebration that can easily become old news or commonplace, there are mystifying, scandalous, almost impossible claims at the heart of it.

We're also reminded of his power and victory over the grave that changes everything. A sermon by Came...
