Islands Christian Church Podcast

This week, we were honored to welcome our friend Derek Koone to teach from Mark 11, where Jesus curses a fig tree and turns over tables in the temple. These moments might seem confusing at first—but Derek helps us see the deeper truth: Jesus wasn’t just making a statement about trees or temples. He was calling His people to something greater. God has always desired that His people be a light to th...

In the final message of our "If God Is For Us" series, Pastor Stephen dives deep into Romans 8:31–39, revealing how the gospel is the solution to both our internal struggles and external hardships. From the shame we carry to the suffering we face, God’s love through Christ secures our identity and assures our victory. No accusation—whether from others or ourselves—can stand against us, a...

Have you ever wondered if God is really for you, especially when life feels like it’s falling apart? In this message kicking off our new series, If God Is For Us , we dive into Romans 8:31–39 and explore one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: no matter what comes against you, if God is for you, that changes everything. Pastor Stephen reminds us that our feelings aren't always reliable,...

For this week's podcast, we welcome Grant Roszkowiak as our guest speaker. Grant delves into the powerful theme of "Come and See," exploring the personal experience of faith and the importance of inviting others to encounter Jesus. Drawing from John 1, he illustrates how Philip's invitation to Nathaniel, "Come and see," serves as a simple yet profound way to share the t...

This Easter, Pastor Stephen Saxton shares a powerful message about the heart of the Christian faith: the resurrection of Jesus. It’s not just a metaphor—it’s a historical, world-changing event. In this message, you’ll hear why the resurrection matters, even if you’ve struggled with doubt. You’ll also discover the life-changing gifts Jesus brings through His victory over death: a personal connectio...

As we prepare our hearts for Easter, we’ve been walking through what Jesus accomplished on the cross. Over the past two weeks in our series 'The Cross', we’ve explored propitiation , how Jesus satisfied God’s righteous anger, and redemption , how He set us free from the power of sin and death. This week, Pastor Stephen unpacks the final piece: justification . What does it mean to be made right wit...

In part two of our series The Cross , we wrestle with a powerful question: Why did Jesus have to die? It’s a deeply personal question—and one that gets to the heart of the gospel. We look at what Jesus’ death actually means for you , and how understanding core biblical truths, even the big doctrinal ones, can give your faith a firm foundation. Let’s lean in together and think deeply about what the...

As we lead up to Easter, we’re kicking off a new series called The Cross . Before we celebrate the resurrection, we’ve got to stop and wrestle with a deeper question— Why did Jesus have to die? In this message, Pastor Stephen walks us through Romans 3 and introduces three powerful words that help us understand the cross: redemption, justification, and propitiation (yes, we’re saying it together)....

Whatever we do, we typically want to be better at it. Whether we are playing an instrument, practicing martial arts or just loving our children, most people want to grow in the endeavor. Our faith is no different. We start out on the journey of following Jesus, and we hope we grow stronger and more faithful as we follow Jesus more closely. But, here’s the thing, it doesn’t just happen automaticall...

In this episode, we explore what it means to have a growing faith and a deep trust in God. Looking at the story of the centurion in Matthew 8, we see an example of extraordinary faith—one that amazed even Jesus. True faith is not just believing in God’s existence but trusting that He is actively involved in every detail of our lives. How can we cultivate that kind of faith? How do we trust God eve...

In this message, Pastor Stephen continues our series on The Marks of a Thankful Church by exploring what it truly means to give. Giving is more than financial generosity—it’s about giving ourselves to one another in community. Drawing from Galatians 6, we see how a healthy church supports those in seasons of weakness, knowing that one day, we’ll all need that same support. Through personal stories...
