Renew Bible Church Podcast

Selah | Psalm 62 | Pastor Jon Adams Now that we’re on the other side of the Christmas season, it’s a good time to check in and ask, “How are you really doing?”   If you’re like most American families, you may be feeling the stress of modern life. Whether at home or work, most of us experience times when that stress rears its head as anxiety or resentment, impatience or anger.   Contrast that with...

Go! | Pastor Chris Heller One simple word started the greatest movement the world has ever seen. This Sunday, we will leverage that very word to kick off Renew 2026.   Have you felt God urging you to take some kind of action? How have you responded? What have you been hesitant to do?

Go Tell It! | Open Door | Pastor Chris Heller   Join us this Sunday as we put a bow on Christmas 2025 and conclude the Go Tell It series. We pray this has been an encouragement to get out and share the good news of Jesus!

Go Tell It! | The Life | Pastor Chris Heller   We’ll be turning to the book of Thessalonians this week as we unpack part three of our Christmas series. In weeks one and two, we examined what Jesus meant when he described himself as The Way and as The Truth. This Sunday, we’ll be looking at Jesus as The Life.

Go Tell It! | Pastor Chris Heller We continue in our series of going and sharing the Gospel. Today we answer the critic of 'how can we know the Bible is true and accurate?'

Go Tell It! | Pastor Chris Heller   In Isaiah 52:7 we read, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news!” In this world full of people bringing bad news, how wonderful are those who bring the good news of Christmas! Join us this Sunday as we embark on our gospel-focused Christmas series, “Go Tell It!”

True Worship | Pastor Gabe Vanderstel   What is worship?  Today we hear from Pastor Gabe on all the aspects of worship in our lives and how we can honor our God in many ways.

Good Plans | Final Chapter | Pastor Chris Heller  Genesis 50 We've come to the final chapter as we conclude our "Good Plans" series on the life of Joseph. Genesis 50 closes the story with a powerful blend of grief, forgiveness, and enduring faith.   After Jacob dies, Joseph leads a grand Egyptian funeral procession to Canaan to bury his father, fulfilling Jacob’s request. When the brothers fear Jo...

Good Plans - Joseph | Finish Well | Pastor Chris Heller Genesis 48-49 This week, we'll learn that Jacob is gravely ill as he approaches the end of his life. In a deeply moving moment, the aging patriarch gathers strength to bless Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. In a surprising twist, Jacob deliberately crosses his arms, giving the greater blessing to Ephraim--the younger son--instead of M...

Good Plans - Joseph | What’s God Preparing You For? | Pastor Jon Adams   Genesis 47 The life of Joseph has been a dramatic story of life and death, patriarchs and Pharaohs, nations and empires. It’s a wild sequence of ups and downs, as God puts together his “good plans”, piece by piece.   This Sunday, we’ll focus on the way God has prepared Joseph. From the God-ordained circumstances of his life t...

Good Plans - Joseph | Family Reunion | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 45-46 This week, we find Joseph reconciled to his brothers and calling for them to go home, gather their father and their entire family, and bring them back to Egypt. Will Jacob be able to make such a change? Will God somehow reassure Jacob that this is His good and perfect plan?    Join us this Sunday as we witness the reunion o...

Good Plans - Joseph | I Am Joseph | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 44 This week, we find Joseph's brothers on the road heading home from Egypt, when they are "caught" with an item from the house of Joseph. Not realizing it was part of a plan, they return to Joseph scared, shaken, and shattered. They bow before him, begging for mercy while fearing the very harshest of punishments.   Why would Joseph...

Good Plans - Joseph | Troubled Waters | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 43 This week we find Joseph in the midst of all the administration, distress, and business surrounding the needs in Egypt during time of famine, only to once again be interrupted by his brothers' return.   How will he handle this encounter? What test will he ask that they pass? How will he respond to seeing Benjamin?   Join us a...

Good Plans - Joseph | I’m So Blessed | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 42 This week we will find Joseph now promoted to the highest place in Egypt! How will he handle success?

Good Plans - Joseph | Has God Forgotten Me? | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 41:1-45 This week we return to the prison that Joseph has been forgotten in to learn lessons on waiting patiently for the salvation of the Lord.   Why does He make us wait sometimes? What is His purpose in a long, drawn out trial?   Join us for Communion Sunday as we learn the goodness of God in those times He calls us to...

Good Plans - Joseph | Goodology | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 40   Today, we’re going to step into Joseph’s story while he’s still in the waiting room of life—prison. God gives Joseph the ability to interpret others dreams, and in doing so we’ll watch how Joseph handles some trial and testing.   We’ll see how Joseph’s trust in God’s timing carries him through disappointment.

Good Plans - Joseph | Judah | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 37:12-36 How can this be a good plan? Joseph has been rejected, abandoned and thrown into a pit, only to be sold to a caravan of Ishmaelite's on their way to Egypt!   Some might say, "Where is God in this? How could a loving God allow this to happen to Joseph? I thought God was a good God?"   This Sunday we continue our story in Egypt as...

Good Plans - Joseph | The Pit | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 37:12-36 Isn’t it GOOD to know that God has provided a roadmap for all of His children to follow (Romans 12:9-21), as well as a life for all His children to emulate  (Genesis 37:12-36), in how we overcome and respond to all the evil we are surrounded by? Within this very dark world, we’ve been called to shine our light.   God is GOOD… a...

Good Plans - Joseph | Good Plans | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 1:1-11 This Sunday we will begin our Fall sermon series, “Good Plans!” Together, we’ll trace the life of Joseph and see how God’s goodness and favor carried him through hurts, betrayals, false accusations, abandonment, and even the challenges of success, fame and influence. If you or someone you know have ever questioned God’s goodne...

Grace To You - Galatians | At The Cross | Pastor Chris Heller Galatians 6:10-18 Join us this Sunday as we conclude our summer series in the book of Galatians! We've seen how Paul began his letter to the Galatians harshly, with agitation over the lies they were believing. But by the time he finishes his writing, he has a very different tone. What could have caused such a change in his message?

Grace To You - Galatians | Bringing In The Sheaves | Pastor Gabe Vanderstel   Galatians 6:7-9 Have you ever tried your hand at growing your own produce? It takes quality seeds, healthy soil, regular watering, and protection from harmful elements. The hope, of course, is to enjoy a harvest so abundant and sweet that everyone delights in the fruit. The law of sowing and reaping is simple and unchang...

Grace To You - Galatians | Tie That Binds | Pastor Jon Adams   Galatians 6:1-6 I was raised with a deep appreciation for the military. The bravery, valor, and mindset of the American soldier has made the United States the greatest fighting force on the planet. While every soldier is committed to the completing of the mission, soldiers also have a responsibility to each other—a solemn duty to look...

Grace To You - Galatians | Fruit of the Spirit | Pastor Chris Heller   Galatians 5:15-26 Remember all those great kid church songs we learned growing up? "Deep and Wide", "Obedience Is...", "Who Built the Ark?", "Rise, Shine and Give God the Glory, Glory"!   For many of us, those songs still echo in our childhood memories. I still remember the countless times we excitedly sang the song, “The fruit...

Grace To You - Galatians | Called To Freedom | Jason Black   Galatians 5:1-15 This Sunday, we enter one of the most passionate sections in Paul’s letter to the Galatians, all about freedom. Not the world’s version of “do whatever you want,” but the kind of freedom only Jesus gives. In Christ, we’re set free from sin, shame, and striving. And we’re set free to walk in love, led by the Spirit. But P...

Grace To You - Galatians | Just As I Am | Pastor Chris Heller   Galatians 4:21-31 It has been so encouraging to read and hear the many testimonials of people in our church family, both in house and online, who have found our journey through the book of Galatians, specifically the focus on our identity in Christ, to be such a blessing! Join us again this week as we hear our author use this portion...
