SIDERIS PODCAST

Consider with us as we explore the wisdom of First Corinthians chapter 2. What does it mean to have "the mind of Christ" and how should that utterly transform the way you interact with those who do not yet have this same mind? Join us as we examine how the wisdom of God unleashes power into the lives of his followers.

With the reality of divisions still in view in this passage found 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, we turn to the unavoidable reality of embarrassment. We all feel it at times, but not always for the same reasons. Why is that? What does the fear of and the fear in embarrassment force us to do or not do? What and who would we become if we lived an embarrassment-free life?

Is there a right or wrong way to 'follow'? In today's teaching, we take a look at what Pauls says about the world of 'influencers' in 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 and how we are called to ultimately be effective followers of Jesus Christ and what that looks like (Hint: Watch till the end of the video to see).

How does the Apostle Paul use the "compliment sandwich" to lead into some very challenging critique of the church in Corinth? Do those who you correct know how much you love them? Teaching from 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.

"Moving in Step with the Peculiar Wisdom of Christ" will be the marching tune of this NEW series in the book of 1st Corinthians. This first sermon will give you an overview of the series as a whole.

We hope this podcast helps you "Look Up" and use your uniquely human capacity to "consider the transcendent." Here you will find all the sermons since the inception of Sideris Church in Seattle in 2015.

My prayer is that these last few services of the year will draw our hearts even closer to the person of Jesus. For the final two times as a whole church community in 2021, we get to have our voices united by the Spirit to thank God and to praise Jesus. For the final two times this year, we get to invite a friend disconnected from the body to re-engage the beauty and wonder of Christ’s heavenly bod...

This week we enter the 3rd Sunday of Advent and continue our mini-series "Why I Love Christmas". The lights, the sounds, the traditions of Christmas all point to something bigger than us. There is a sense of anticipation in the air, a preparation for something yet to come... or is it already here?

Why do I, Pastor Ryan, love Christmas? Here we look to John in unpacking what Christmas is really all about and discover the incredible gifts of grace and truth that came through Jesus Christmas.

On this first week of Advent we explore the 5Cs on display in the lives of the parents in the birth narratives of Jesus and John the Baptist. God wants to use them in powerful ways, and their participation is outlined by way of-you guessed it-the 5 Cs!

In the next chapter of our exploration of the 5 Cs we come to the Woman at the Well. Here we see several new aspects of the 5 Cs illuminated on several levels as she invites us to "Come see a man who told me everything I ever did, could this be the Messiah?"

How do the 5 Cs take place when talking about Jesus with those who don't know him? Join us as we examine perhaps the most famous evangelistic encounter in the New Testament, Paul at the Areopagus where we consider how truth has been scattered among humanity but most fulfilled, explained, and empowered through Jesus. Pastor Dave leans heavily upon a diagram in the second half of this sermon, you ma...

This week we invite you to slow down and reflect upon each of the 5 Cs individually, allowing God to speak to you regarding how each one is displayed or needs further development in your life. We encourage you to find a quiet place and grab a pen & paper for this short reflection exercise.

For our next exploration of the 5 Cs in scripture we come to Hannah. Hannah fleshes out how to approach the 5 Cs actually and the life the process leads to...

In our next few sermons we will be fleshing out the process of the 5 Cs as we see theme exemplified in the Scriptures. Our first exploration comes from a parable with an application towards the present trend of "deconstruction." Where in the 5 Cs does deconstruction go wrong?

We have officially come full circle. This Sunday we complete the loop with the fifth C, confession. We know for many of us this term surfaces bad memories or even terror, but as we will find confession is actually a beautiful and freeing activity that releases God's power and presence into our lives... bringing new life not only to ourselves but also the world. In other words, confession is way mo...

How does conviction work in the life of a follower of Jesus? It turns out its much more complicated than we may think! Join us as we consider the term and it's role in our lives as God's people in the world.

Consideration has always been the central activity of Sideris Church, what do we mean when we use it? How can we know we're doing it? Why do it at all? Where should we start?

What do we mean by "conversation?" How does it fit in the transformational growth cycle as a follower of Jesus? We invite you to explore the biblical basis for robust conversation and how it could be the continuing basis for your own growth and that of others...

What do we mean by "connection?" How is it the starting point for all transformational growth as a follower of Jesus? We invite you to explore the biblical basis for robust connection and how it could be the basis for your own growth and that of others...

This is a sermon series designed to help everyone learn how we envision the gospel of Jesus gripping this world. The 5 Cs work from connection to conversation to consideration to conviction to confession-but hold up! The definitions of these terms are often misunderstood, reductionistic, or caricatured. What do we really mean when we use them? Their full orbed meaning provides us with the key to t...

Out of all the things that are antithetical to discovering God's presence, sin must be at the top of the list right? Well, only if we let it because in Psalm 38 we discover that God longs to be with us even when we fall short. And if we let Him in, His presence is particularly transforming in those moments...

Have you ever thought a song was always about one thing, only to discover there was another deeper meaning behind it? Yeah, me too.
