SIDERIS PODCAST

Start of a new series in the minor prophets. Here we look at Hosea and his message of God's love despite continued spiritual adultery.

Allie Jones, Trista Smith, and Ryan Farrell share stories of Hope, Peace and Love found in Christ on Christmas Eve 2018.

In this advent sermon we ask how to overcome Christmas depression. Is joy something we can only hope for, or can we experience while we long for it?

In a world that desperately needs peace, how does the gospel provide peace now even as we long for it to come in full?

We not only long for hope, but in hope itself. Join us as we start a three week studying of longing well.

The last scene in the book of Acts we features Paul doing what he loved to do and felt created and called to do: reveal the glory of Christ that he had seen on the road to Damascus.

Dave Ginn, Lead Pastor of Two Bridges Church in Fremont, preaches on Paul's trials and assassination attempts in Judea just prior to him sailing for Rome to appeal his case before Caesar.

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.

Paul makes his first visit to the metropolis that is Ephesus. Here he makes some enemies because he threatens their lucrative business in religious retail. It is always dangerous to speak against the idol worship of any era or culture. But only through shining the light of the gospel into all places, will true freedom follow.

In the city of Athens, on the famous perch which is known as Mars Hill, Paul converses with the leading intellectuals of the empire and tells them that God serves us, we don't serve God! A scandalous new message that requires some unpacking.

Paul and Silas are imprisoned for helping a slave girl. With a chance to escape they chose to remain and the jailers life is changed, literally, forever

Pastor Ryan looks at one of the most famous and important moments in the 2000 year history of the church, the Jerusalem Council. What we see is a teenage church growing into maturity through the debate filled meeting of Spirit-filled minds to find clarity to move the mission forward. A great model for the life of our young church as we grow up into maturity as a community.

In Paul's first two missionary encounters we see the power of trust in Jesus over and against spiritualism and legalism... and ask what the "isms" of today are that compete for our allegiance.

An introduction to Part 2 of the series in the book of Acts we are calling "Witness." Who is this man who was the first witness to the non-Jewish cultures of the world?

The final installment of the Habits of the Heart mini-series. Can we cultivate new habits of the heart that help us live in God glorifying discomfort in the world?

How does radical American Individualism play itself out in the most meaningful relationships of life? How does it define love for us? Is that definition leading to more or less life?

In this second installment on American Radical Individualism, we look at the ways we try to find ourselves in our world today.

An indepth intro to the new mini-series.

Pastor Ryan help us understand how wisdom literature functions as advice to "the simple" so that we may not follow the ways of the wicked but the ways of the righteous.

Ben Thompson helps us consider Psalm 77 and the parallel songs of doubt and hope that all Christians sing throughout this life as we wait well upon the full promises of God to surface in both this life and the life eternal to come.

Adoration = Prayer

Walking with God always involves a thousands cycles of trust, disappointment, sin, pardon, and learning to wait.

When we cried out to God he listened and acted in great love toward us... so how do we love God back?
