Emmanuel Community Church Sermon Podcast

This weekend, we'll finish out the second chapter of Galatians. After laying the groundwork for his overall agenda, Paul will establish his main argument for the rest of the book in Galatians 2:17-21. He's going to cast a vision for the life we're missing out on when we cling to earning.

This weekend, we’re walking through Galatians 2:11-16, where Paul confronts Peter in one of the most important moments in the early church. It’s a story about conflict, courage, and what it looks like to live with gospel freedom.

This weekend, we’ll face a difficult truth: you can’t hold on to both legalism and the Gospel at the same time. In Galatians 2:1–10, Paul recounts his meeting in Jerusalem to defend the true Gospel — a timely reminder for anyone tempted to add rules where God offers grace.

THIS WEEKEND, we’ll hear Paul’s own account from Galatians 1:10–24 and discover what happens when grace stops being an idea you work for… and becomes real.

This weekend, we'll begin our verse-by-verse study of Galatians. The apostle Paul opens his letter with a passionate call to get back to gospel clarity. In Galatians 1:1-9, we'll see that the major themes of the letter are rooted in its first few sentences.

THIS WEEKEND, we will wrap up our series Coming Home and the story about a father and his two wayward sons in Luke 15:11–32.

THIS WEEKEND, we will continue our study of Jesus’ story about a father and his two wayward sons in Luke 15:11-32. While the son who ran away was obviously lost, the son who stayed home was lost as well, perhaps even more so. The good news is that the Father’s love pursues them both and points the way home. We will also share in Holy Communion together this weekend

This weekend, we'll step into a story Jesus told in Luke 15:11-32 about two sons who had a broken story in their minds about their dad, just like we often do about our Heavenly Father. The best part about Jesus' story is that it helps us get our story straight. It shows us what God's heart toward us really is. And that's a story worth telling.

This weekend, we will continue letting His Word shape Our Walk as we begin a new journey through the book of Galatians.

Our long partnership with Wycliffe continues today as we come alongside them to help complete a Bible Translation project already underway. This weekend, you’ll see another example of how this project is transforming lives—and how we can play a role in making Scripture accessible to all. From now through October 19, you can learn more, get involved, and take a tangible step in helping God’s Word g...

Our long partnership with Wycliffe continues today as we come alongside them to help complete a Bible Translation project already underway. Over the next two weekends, you’ll see how this project is transforming lives—and how we can play a role in making Scripture accessible to all.

This Labor Day weekend, we’ll examine Ephesians 6:5-9 together, a passage that may challenge our perspective on work. We’ll be encouraged by what God may have in store for us as we approach next Tuesday, the return to work for many of us!

This weekend, we’re going to continue in John chapter 10 and follow some key insights into what it means to follow our Good Shepherd. We’ll trace the path Peter walked as one of Jesus’ disciples who had heard His teaching on being a good shepherd.

This weekend, we'll begin a two-week series on a key theme in John’s gospel: Jesus as the Good Shepherd (John 10). While confronting the religious leaders, He was also giving His disciples—including Peter—the truth that would soon unfold in powerful ways. As we follow this theme through John, we’ll see how it continues to shape our own lives today.

This weekend, we wrap up our summer series, Cultivating Community. Pastor Josh will put everything we have been learning together and provide resources for next steps.

This weekend, we’ll explore what it looks like for a community group to cultivate a space where each person is equipped and encouraged to live on mission, right where they are.

THIS WEEKEND we’ll explore the fifth biblical key to community at Emmanuel: Admonish Faithfully. From Colossians 3 and supporting Scripture, we’ll examine the heart of admonishment and the practical steps we can take to lovingly point people back toward Jesus.

This weekend, we’ll continue our journey through the Keys to Community by looking at the fourth value: Live Authentically. Through James 5:16 and supporting Scripture, we’ll explore how to move from surface-level connection to real, honest relationships, and what practical steps we can take to walk in the light with others.

This weekend, we’ll explore the third biblical key to community at Emmanuel: Counsel Biblically. Together, we’ll see how this value is grounded in God’s Word—and get practical about what it looks like to offer biblical counsel to one another as we walk through life together.

In this message, we'll take a look at Romans 10:9-10 and consider our call to invest in building Christian community into our lives. The second key to community is to Pursue Relationally. We'll get a good sense of what that means and explore practical ways to work it out in our lives.

This weekend, we will begin our summer series, called "Cultivating Community." As we seek to be more of a church "of" community groups, not just "with" community groups, we'll get really practical and unpack 6 keys to community together. And it all begins with each of us spending regular time with Jesus.

We will conclude our study of Philippians and our series "The Lord is Near." In the conclusion of his letter, Paul laid out one final mindset that is defining for believers who want to be on mission together in Christian community. And it's all about coming to terms with true contentment in Christ.

This weekend, Mike Smith will lead us into the beginning of Philippians chapter 4, where verses 6–9 offer powerful, practical wisdom for experiencing peace — peace with God, peace within ourselves, and peace in our relationships. It’s a message full of encouragement and direction for everyday life.

This weekend, Pastor Gary Dilley will help us unpack Philippians 3:12-21. In his message, he will guide us through 4 principles that will help us to lean into Paul's writing and learn what it would look like for us to "finish well."

This weekend we'll step into Philippians 3:1-11 and listen in as Paul opens up and shares his heart as both an encouragement and a model for all of us as we seek to build Christian community.
