SIDERIS PODCAST

Just 13 days ago we celebrated the faithful 44 year career of a beloved pastor and preacher, Don Duncan, here in the building he labored from for over 4 decades. And now, just weeks later, Don has agreed to preach and teach for us again! So besides what's a thoughtful and edifying sermon, the meta-sermon Don communicates is even more profound... and it goes like this: You never retire from God's s...

Jesus seems to have really listened a lot to Psalm 49. Turn this one up loud and see why Jesus seems to have recorded so many covers of this song. What does it mean when the psalmist sings: "Do not be afraid when a man gets rich, when the wealth of his house increase." * SPOTIFY MUSIC PLAYLIST -- https://tinyurl.com/fkzpkjwh * SERMON PODCAST -- https://tinyurl.com/2sn3msmn * CONNECT WITH US -- htt...

This Sunday, we’ll be taking a look at Psalm 18, where we’ll hear the words of King David—seemingly penned at the end of his life. Context matters in songwriting. What does it mean that this psalm is a cumulative reflection on an entire life lived under God’s protection? What can that teach us about how our understanding of God's ways deepens over time? The song referenced in the sermon is "Time"...

As pastor Dave is nearing the end of his mini-Summer-Sabbatical, longtime elder at Sideris, Joseph Cox, has agreed to help the family out by kicking us off in this series by preaching Psalm 21! It's a great Psalm, give it a read, you will find that it's all about God blessing "a" king. Who might this king be? AND what might it mean for those who find themselves under his rule?

We will close out the book of Joshua! We've encountered several unexpected life-giving and grace-revealing gems in this rarely preached through book of the bible, so it's sad to move on from it; but Joshua brings the work to a beautiful conclusion which is sure to be exciting to unpack together. If you listened last week you may have left with the question, "what does pursuing God with a loyal lov...

We love you all and we're looking forward to our 2nd to last sermon in Joshua this Sunday - Our journey through Joshua began at the beginning of the year and is now coming to a close as we hit it's concluding chapters where Joshua (at over 100 years old) provides Israel (and us) with the wisdom they (we) need in order to continue to flourish and enjoy life. What will we be pursuing next in our tea...

We will look at the Joshua 22 and the very important confrontation that took place between the Western and Eastern tribes of Israel at the outset of the time of peace. Besides trying to understand why the conflict occurred in Joshua's day, we will consider why it should have occurred more often in ancient Israel and therefore why we should be willing to lean into uncomfortable conversations like t...

Joshua 20 | Prepare your hearts and minds by putting on your favorite trail show... perhaps some "Law & Order" or "Suits" or what about some old school "Murder She Wrote." This will get you in the mood for this sermon's consideration. Justice and legal nuance are not something we as modern people dreamed up... in fact it may have started all the way back here in Joshua's day, with the founding of...

Joshua 12 - 19 | Boring? It might surprise you. We’re diving into the eight chapters detailing the distribution and allotment of the land in the book of Joshua. These chapters are long and packed with intricate geographical details—too much to read aloud in one sitting. So what are we meant to take away from all of it? Join us as we explore SIX big takeaways that bring clarity, meaning, and releva...

On this memorial day weekend we have coincidentally come to Israel's military conquest of the Ancient Promised Land in Joshua (we didn't plan this overlap, it just happened!). We've mentioned time and time again how the conquest present in Joshua presents the crux of many peoples' objection to Christianity and we've finally made it there: why does the God of the Old Testament Scriptures seem so di...

This message from Joshua 10 dives into some big questions—like why the battles in Canaan were so intense, and what’s really going on with the sun standing still. We explore how these moments fit into God’s bigger story of faithfulness to His promises, and how He was with Joshua every step of the way. You’ll hear a few different takes on that wild sun moment, what it means to pray boldly, and how t...

By way of Joshua chapter 9 we get to unpack how important authenticity is when it comes to joining up with the people of God, and watch out, the conclusion we come to may catch you off guard.

Join us this Sunday to hear from guest speaker Matt Broweleit. Matt is a pastor, an author, and a thoughtful communicator who went to seminary with both Dave and Ryan in Colorado. We're excited to hear from him and we know you'll be encouraged by what he brings.

Before we return to our study of the Book of Joshua, today we will be looking at the events that follow the resurrection of Jesus. Historically, we have taken this Sunday after easter to study the objective reality of this final action of Jesus earthly ministry which is known as the Ascension. What are the implications of the ascension and why is it important to remember it and talk about it?

On this powerful Easter Sunday, opening up with “Break on Through to the Other Side” takes us on a journey through the most significant “door” in history—the empty tomb of Jesus. Using famous doors as metaphors for choices and transitions in life, he paints a vivid picture of the resurrection as the ultimate door of hope. Through biblical stories, historical insights, and personal reflection, this...

Happy Palm Sunday! Join us as we explore of the story of Achan in Joshua Chapter 7.

This Sunday we will consider Jericho from the inside, what was going on in those walls? What does it reveal about God?

What could Bon Jovi possibly tell us about Joshua 6?

In this message, we explore Joshua’s powerful encounter with the mysterious “Commander of the Lord’s army”—a divine figure who appears with a drawn sword. This moment raises deep questions about God's presence, purpose, and our response to Him. We reflect on three key questions: Who is the Commander of the Lord’s army? What does His answer of “neither” mean when Joshua asks whose side He’s on? Why...

This Sunday we will continue looking at the Book of Joshua. This week's passage brings us to an honestly uncomfortable yet profoundly important moment in Israel's story. In Joshua 5, we encounter a text that challenges us but also invites us to see God's work through New Testament eyes. What does it mean to be set apart for Him? How does discomfort lead to deeper trust? Join us as we explore the s...

This Sunday we will continue looking at the Book of Joshua. After seeing God's powerful presence in "Crossing the Jordan" last week, we will continue our "Lessons in Joshua" sermon series and unpack the 12 memorial stones Joshua had set up after the event. Join us as we consider what God was trying to accomplish there and how it applies to the lives of His people today.

This Sunday we will continue looking at the Book of Joshua. After three weeks studying the life and times of Rahab, we will move onto the Crossing of the Jordan River in our "Lessons in Joshua" sermons series. Join us as we consider how God reveals his power once more to another generation, inspiring renewed faith amidst Israel.

This Sunday we will spend our third week looking at the life and times of Rahab. Where we discover a God that shows up for the lost and the least with mercy and grace, inspiring strength and courage that puts the rest of us to shame. It's sure to be another illumination of the same beautiful gospel to bring even more glory to the savior, and more goodness to us.

This Sunday, we will spend our second week looking at the life and times of Rahab. She is truly an amazing woman whose story teaches us so much about the true nature of faith and God's unchanging character. Sunday's sermon will take a very different angle on her story to show us how Rahab should become the lens through which one must come to terms with the harsher war language encountered in the b...

It's weeks like this that humble me beyond words as I share this nearly unbelievable story of personal faith in action with you. This person we will read about existed in real space-time history and walked the same earth as you and I. The thought is breathtaking. That I could be rendered so small in the orbit of this person's faith -- all the while knowing what this person's occupation was -- will...
