Emmaus Church SC

We're back! It's officially the season of Advent and this week we're talking all about it. What gets you in the spirit of Christmas? If you wanna send us questions to be answered on the podcast, visit emmauschurchsc.com/questions

This Sunday we begin our time in the season of Advent. The Christmas season is meant to be a "different" time of year, but in reality, how we tend to go about it isn't really all that "different." We typically just take our normal and supersize it. We take everything we normally do and we just do more of it-we do more things, buy more things, and eat more things. By the tim...

Emotions. We sure do have some, don't we? Especially during the holidays. Our feelings are all over the place. This Sunday is a well timed conversation about having a healthy relationship with our emotions so we can not only allow ourselves to have them, but to also keep them from having us.

This Sunday we wrap up our time in the Apostle's Creed by clearing away some of the "extra" that gets in the way of the crescendo of our faith-the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.

This episode had to be a little short but we wanted to make sure you got our thoughts on forgiveness. We will be taking a break the next 2 weeks but check our social media & app for Deeper Dive questions and other resources! Send us your questions at emmauschurchsc.com/questions

We have been spending our time together in worship walking through the Apostle’s Creed in order to get a in touch with the heart and soul of our faith. This Sunday we come to the confession “I believe in the forgivenss of sins.” This one is about as essential as it gets, but it can also be one of the hardest to really trust. God’s complete and total forgiveness for all of our short falls and wrong...

Death is a thief and the longer you live the more it takes from you. That's one of the few things we all have in common. In spite of all our differences, we are all familiar with the ache that stems from the loss of those we love. This weekend we are observing our first All Saints Sunday. It will be a meaningful time for us to make space for our grief, remember our hope, and honor our loved on...

This week we talk all things the church. What does "catholic" mean? Can you have church when you're by yourself? Don't forget you can send us your questions by visiting: https://www.emmauschurchsc.com/questions

We have been spending our time together on Sundays working through the Apostle's Creed in a way that makes room for some of our doubt around what it affirms. The part we are going to get into this weekend is less of an issue for our mind and more of a issue with our heart. " I believe in the holy catholic Church..." Our struggle with this doesn't have to do with what it means, bu...

In this episode we talk about The Holy Spirit. We share our thoughts about the Trinity & where the bible fits in all of it.

The goal of this series is to identify some of the extra that gets loaded onto our faith that can get in the way. In many church circles, the Holy Spirit gets handed a whole lot of this extra. This Sunday we are going to attempt to clear some of it off so we can get to heart of what it means to open ourselves up to the Spirit's presence in our lives.

In this episode of Let's Keep It Going, We catch up with each other and with the past few sermons going through Jesus and what we believe about him; all through following up on Pastor Nick's sermon series on The Apostles Creed. If you want to leave us a question go to https://www.emmauschurchsc.com/questions

Was Jesus a real person, or just a mythological figure? Did he really die and rise again or was that just a story that the church made up to give shape to the movement? These are the issues we are going to get into this week as we work through the historical claims of the Apostle’s Creed.

The early Christian's were unwavering in their allegiance to Jesus and what he called the Kingdom of God-a new kind of reality marked by love for God, love for neighbor, and love for enemy. This commitment positioned them to invite the watching world into a radical alternative to the way the world was typically ordered. That opportunity is still ours today.

This week, we are joined by Summer Wiggleston! We get to know Summer and also follow up on Pastor Nick's message on what it means to believe in Jesus, as part of our series on The Apostle's Creed.

We've been spending our time together on Sunday mornings walking through the Apostle's Creed while asking the question, "what is the least I can believe and still be a Christian?" The hope isn't to water down what it means to follow Jesus, but to declutter it a bit. This week we are moving into the heart and soul of the whole thing-the Jesus stuff. First up-what it does/doesn...

In this week's episode, Nick & Lindsey follow up on last Sunday's message from our series, "The Creed: What the Least I Can Believe & Still Be A Christian?" Not only do they share some of their personal beliefs, they also discuss some of the questions from the Deeper Dive.

The Apostle's Creed opens with, "I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of the heavens and the earth." This week, we will talk a bit about what it means, and doesn't mean, to affirm this conviction.

We're back with another episode. We discuss the Apostle's Creed, what it means to put your belief in something, and how we can hold all this together by loosening our grip on some of the inessentials.

The Apostle's Creed is one of the oldest and most widely accepted professions of faith in the church. One of the things that makes the Creed so helpful isn't just in what it says, but also in what it doesn't say. It's easy for all this extra to get added to our faith and for non-essentials to be made into essentials. The thing about all of this "extra" is that it can get...

We are convinced that the church is called to be a good neighbor to people who call their community home. This Sunday we are going to talk a bit about what that means in practice and spotlight some really incredible work that is being done in the Midlands.

We're back with another awesome episode. We're joined by our guest speaker from last week, Latoya Reed, as we get to know her and discuss some parts of her message that really hit home! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Feel free to send us your questions⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Reference from Sunday - ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠Colossians 3:23-24⁠⁠

Labor Day is like the junk drawer of American holidays. It's an occasion for all sorts of things. It marks the end of the summer so you better get that last swim in before the pool closes. It's your final weekend to wear white, and apparently it's a good time to buy a mattress. Historically, Labor Day is a time when we celebrate the dignity of our work by taking a day off. This week we...

In this episode, through the magic of Zoom, we catch up with our Finance Guru, Nate Gibson! We also wrap up our Summer Playlist series, by having an extended discussion on the story of Esther. ⁠⁠Feel free to send us your questions⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Reference from Sunday - ⁠ ⁠ Esther 4:12-16

Over the last three weeks we have covered just about every genre of story there is. We had Job (tragedy), Jonah (comedy), and Ruth (romance). This Sunday we wrap it up with action. The book of Esther reads like an espionage thriller.
