Build Your Life | When the Dream Doesn’t Go As Planned 22.10.2025 45:11
Genesis 37-50 with Matt Chin. What do you do when the dream you believed was from God doesn’t unfold the way you hoped? When it takes longer, costs more, or looks nothing like you imagined? In this message, Matt explores the life of Joseph—a young man with a God-given dream who finds himself betrayed, forgotten, and waiting in the dark. Through Joseph’s story and his own, Matt invites us to consid...
Build Your Life | When Faith Feels Like Foolishness 14.10.2025 42:05
Matt 7:24-27, 1 Corinthians 1:18, 25 with Matt Chin. What if the wisdom of Jesus looks like foolishness to the world—but is actually the only way that leads to life? In this message, Matt shares how pain, weakness, and surrender aren’t signs of failure but invitations to rebuild on a better foundation. Through his own journey of loss, we see that the “foolish” way of Jesus—the way of mercy, grace,...
Build Your Life | The Myth of the Invincible Life 08.10.2025 45:35
Matt 7:24-27 with Matt Chin. What happens when the life you built starts to crumble? In this opening message of Build Your Life , Matt shares his own story of faith, loss, and rebuilding—and how Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 invite us to build our lives on something that lasts. This isn’t a sermon about avoiding the storm; it’s about finding a foundation that holds when it hits. Through heartbreak, d...
This is REUNION | Becoming a Generous Community 30.09.2025 40:50
Mark 14:1-10 with Matt Chin. In the final week of our This Is Reunion series, we explore a moment of extravagant generosity in Mark 14—when a woman breaks open a jar of expensive perfume and pours it out on Jesus. While others call it wasteful, Jesus calls it beautiful. This sermon is about worship, trust, and what it means to live open-handed in a world that tells us to hold tight. It’s about h...
This is REUNION | As it is in Heaven 23.09.2025 44:30
John 9 with Matt Chin. What if healing is how Jesus brings heaven to earth? In John 9, Jesus restores a blind man’s sight—but the deeper story is what happens after. Rejected by his community, thrown out by the system, the man is found again by Jesus. Because true healing takes time. It’s not just a miracle moment—it’s the slow, faithful work of God rewriting our stories. In this message, we explo...
This is REUNION | The Search 16.09.2025 43:59
John 20:24-29 with Matt Chin. We often remember Thomas for his doubt—but maybe we should remember him for his honesty, his courage to return, and the encounter that changed everything. In this sermon, we explore what it means to bring our questions to Jesus, how faith and doubt often walk side by side, and why real trust is formed not through certainty, but through presence. At REUNION, we want to...
This is REUNION | The Way Back Home 10.09.2025 42:52
Luke 15:11-32 with Matt Chin. In one of the most well-known stories Jesus ever told, a son runs away—and a father runs to meet him. But this isn’t just a story about rebellion. It’s about grace. It’s about a father who doesn’t wait for an apology. It’s about the older brother who never left, but still feels far from home. In this message, we explore what it means to be lost, what it means to come...
Lexicon | Grace 03.09.2025 38:28
Luke 5:1-11 and John 21:4-7 with Matt Chin. We talk about grace all the time— in songs, at HomeGoods, even before meals when we “say grace.” But what does the grace of God really mean? In this message from our Lexicon series, Matt takes us to an unexpected passage in Luke 5, where Peter experiences grace in a way that changes everything. Peter expects rejection, but instead hears Jesus say, “Don’t...
Lexicon | Hope 01.09.2025 25:33
Romans 5:1-5 with guest speaker Hannah Kayali. What do we do when hope feels too heavy to hold? When life doesn’t go the way we prayed it would—and we’re left wondering if God is even listening? In this honest message where Hannah shares her own experience of health issues, we explore what the Bible really means by hope. Not blind optimism or a happy ending, but a deeper trust that gets formed slo...
Lexicon | Sin 15.08.2025 43:13
Genesis 3 with Matt Chin. Why is the world so broken—and why do we feel it so deeply? In this message from our Lexicon series, we take a fresh look at the word "sin." Not as just rule-breaking, but as broken trust. Drawing from Genesis 3, we explore how sin fractures our relationship with God, ourselves, others, and creation—and why understanding the nature of sin is essential to recogni...
Lexicon | Blessed 29.07.2025 40:41
Genesis 27:1–40 and Genesis 32:22-32 with Matt Chin. “Blessed” is one of the most common—and most confusing—words in the vocabulary of faith. We say it without thinking, hashtag it online, and often wonder what it really means. Is it about success? Favor? Feeling happy? And what happens when your life doesn’t feel “blessed” at all? In this message, we explore the ancient story of Jacob—a man who l...
Lexicon | Baptism 29.07.2025 41:08
Matt 3:13-17 and Exodus 14:28-29 with Matt Chin. Baptism. It’s a word many of us have heard, some of us have experienced—but few of us have really paused to ask: What does it mean? In this week’s message from our summer series Lexicon: A Fresh Look at Ancient Words, we explore the deep story behind baptism—not just as a religious ritual, but as a symbol of rescue, identity, and belonging. From the...
Lexicon | Faith 16.07.2025 41:14
Hebrews 11 with Matt Chin and his wife Jean co teaching together. We’ve all heard the word faith. But what happens when faith doesn’t “work”? When the prayers go unanswered, the healing doesn’t come, or the life you hoped for slips further out of reach? In this deeply personal message, Matt and Jean open our new summer series, Lexicon of Faith, by reflecting on their own story of waiting, disappoi...
By Our Fruits | Obedience Over Intellect 16.07.2025 40:28
Some of us think that, because we know about God, we are close to him. Jesus tells a parable to show us that simply knowing your master does not mean we are acting in a way that pleases him.
By Our Fruits | How Many Times Should I Forgive? 24.06.2025 49:08
Matthew 18:21-35 with Nathan Caddell. Forgiveness isn’t easy—and it’s rarely clean. But what if forgiving others isn’t just for their sake, but for ours? In this message from REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan unpacks Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and challenges us to rethink forgiveness not as forgetting or enabling, but as the path to healing, freedom, and wholeness.
By Our Fruits | Space at the Table 24.06.2025 48:16
Luke 14:12-24 with Matt Chin. In this message from our By Our Fruits series, Matt reflects on Jesus’ parable in Luke 14 and challenges us to rethink who we invite into our lives. In a culture of curated guest lists and self-protective hospitality, Jesus calls us to set a bigger table—one marked by grace, not gain. The message concludes interviewing Ryan, who is a part of our community around the i...
By Our Fruits | Become a Neighbor 08.06.2025 38:20
Luke 10:25-37 with Matt Chin. What if compassion isn’t just something we do, but something we become? In this sermon on the Good Samaritan, we explore how Jesus reframes the question “Who is my neighbor?” into “Who are you becoming?”—and what it means to live a life marked by mercy, not just morality. When we remember that we’re the ones rescued on the side of the road, we begin to see others—and...
By Our Fruits | For the Sake of the City 07.06.2025 36:43
Genesis 4:9-16 with Nathan Caddell. Why do we build cities—and what is God building instead? In this sermon, Nathan explores the origin of cities in the Bible, the human desire for safety and significance, and how followers of Jesus are called to live for the good of the city, not just their own gain. If you’re wrestling with ambition, anxiety, or purpose in urban life, this message offers a bette...
By Our Fruits | For the Sake of the Poor 07.06.2025 27:44
Matthew 6:19-24 with Nathan Caddell. In a world chasing happiness through comfort and consumption, could joy be found in something deeper? In this sermon from REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6 and the surprising truth that generosity—not self-gratification—is the path to a flourishing life. What (or who) is shaping your heart—and are they worth serving?
By Our Fruits | Family 07.06.2025 38:07
Mark 3:31-35 with Nathan Caddell. We’re surrounded by people—but why do so many of us still feel alone? In this sermon from REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan explores how Jesus redefines family—not by blood, but through a community of people committed to love, sacrifice, and spiritual formation. If your heart longs for something deeper than surface-level connection, this message offers hope—...
By Our Fruits | The Power of Prayer 12.05.2025 33:41
Romans 8:22-27 with Nathan Caddell. “Thoughts and prayers” often feel like a cop-out—but what if they’re actually a powerful way to love a hurting world? In this sermon from REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan explores Romans 8 and the true purpose of intercessory prayer—not as a retreat from pain, but as a courageous act of hope and healing in the face of suffering. If you’ve ever wondered whe...
By Our Fruits | You Know a Tree by its Fruits 08.05.2025 33:36
Matthew 7:15-20 with Nathan Caddell. How do you measure spiritual growth? Is it by what you know—or by how you love? In this kickoff to REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan shares a deeply personal story and explores Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 to remind us that true formation isn’t about knowledge or performance, but about becoming people of love. Because in the end, we’ll be known—not by what...
Easter: He is Risen! 08.05.2025 49:26
The death and resurrection of Jesus means true life for us today. We needed healing from so many different things, and that healing comes through the sacrifice of Jesus. Something perfect became imperfect so that something imperfect could become perfect.
The Cross and the Cure (Week 3): The Triumphal Entry 15.04.2025 39:16
The Triumphal Entry was something that would have been very common in Jesus' time. The irony of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem is that it mirrored a common Roman practice also called a Triumphal Entry. We have a vision of freedom in our heads, that we can do whatever we want, but Jesus comes to offer a better kind of freedom. Jesus subverts this Roman tradition, which would have offered a...
The Cross and The Cure (Week 2): The Suffering Servant 11.04.2025 40:22
Isaiah, in this passage, is speaking to a nation who has wandered from the path God had put them on. Not only had they wandered, but they found themselves wandering down a road that was leading to their brokenness, to pain, to frustration, and to a life that they had longed to leave behind in Egypt. Isaiah tells of someone who is going to come and suffer on behalf of his people, in order to bring...
