SIDERIS PODCAST

This Sunday, we will be looking at Joshua 1:12-18 as we ask the question of "togetherness?" It turns out that we are not the first nation or generation to struggle with the vortex of individualism and self-interest. It seems there is something very special in this text that I'm excited to explore together on Sunday.

Join the discussion as we examine how israel was called to enter into the promised land. How does this relate to how we enter into God's story? What might it require from us?

In this sermon, we explore the Book of Joshua, emphasizing the pivotal role of land in God's redemptive plan and the transition from wandering to settlement. Joshua’s historical narrative reveals God's ongoing plan for humanity, showing His faithfulness through transitional phases and the significance of the promised land as a symbol of His presence and blessing. The story highlights the unity of...

New Teaching Series: Lessons in Joshua Join us as we embark on an exciting journey through the Book of Joshua! This series will explore themes of faith, leadership, and God's promises. Don't miss out on the powerful lessons and encouragement we can draw from this incredible book.

Series Finale -- How do I know if I have the Aroma of Christ? Putting a bow on our beloved Atmosphere Matters teaching series as we look at Paul's instructions in 2 Corinthians 2:12-17.

How did I get here? Why do I know what I know? Questions like these are important to ask and answer. There is probably a long list of people you know about and an even longer list you don't know about who impact what you've come to know and believe about the way the world works. That's why this principle is important. If we do not consider what and how to pass on what we've received, then it is do...

Luke 22:31-32 || Principle #13: Let's Pray Now. This is one that we tend to use all the time and we hope that our time together on Sunday can help provide more insight into the fullness of what we mean when we do pray together.

John 13:1-16 | How do we navigate a culture that tells us to make everything about ourselves, our brand, our Instagram profile?

Mark 10:28-30 || What does it mean to have church as family?

"Love Works" is a double entendre... Listen to learn more.

This gospel principle wasn’t something I was taught growing up in the church—but I came to understand its deep significance after experiencing tragedy close to home.

As followers of Christ, we’re called to leave shallow talk behind and build conversations of real depth. Jesus shows us that our words matter, always using them to uplift, challenge, and heal. When we’re with others, do we seek meaningful exchange? Are we genuinely curious about their story, their pain, their dreams? Cocktail conversation is easy; true connection takes intention. Imagine the impac...

Jesus loudly proclaims his care for each individual when he tells us that as our Great Shepherd he would leave the ninety-nine sheep to go after the one. Since we all have this same Shepherd, how as his followers should we mimic this same concern for the individual in our midst? Do you assign the same value that God does to each individual who crosses your path? Jesus reminds us that it is the ind...

How does the story of Genesis 3 and Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10 tell us about this principle that is both anti-coercsiveness but also anti-passivity?

What does Philippians 1 and 2 have to tell us about being comfortable and following Jesus?

There is something of a paradox in this principle. Why? Because Christ himself was a walking paradox. The God-Man was not easy to understand even though his atmosphere resonated as true, good, and home.

What does honesty really sound like?

Whether it’s faith, purpose, or the divine; recognizing that we are part of something greater gives us a deeper sense of meaning and direction. It shapes how we live, how we treat others, and how we navigate the complexities of life. Join us as we dive into Scripture and reflect on the importance of humility, seeking, and staying grounded in a higher calling.

What we celebrate is what gets repeated. So what should we celebrate?

This is the first sermon in a new series called "Atmosphere Matters." In classic Sideris fashion, this title is not just a "double entendre" but a triple entendre. Bonus points if you can guess all three meanings of Atmosphere Matters. Then keep listening to hear about Principle Zero.

This week is our last Psalm of summer 2024, just weeks before early voting begins for the 2024 presidential election. So, as we take closer look at Psalm 12 we will consider what it has to teach us about a lot of things, including that sticky old subject of Politics. Don't worry, there won't be much talk of actual candidates or issues, but more importantly a discussion of how to best enter the pol...

Psalm 96 | This Sunday, we will continue in our Summer Psalms series with #96, where we will continue to unpack God's goodness and grace in Creation, in Christ, and in our midst; he truly has been good to us in all these. * CONNECT CARD -- https://siderischurch.com/connectcard * OTHER GOSPEL RESOURCES -- https://siderischurch.com/resources

Psalm 65 | Join us this Sunday as Pastor Don teaches Psalm 65, a powerful song of thanksgiving that reveals the abundance of God’s grace and provision. This beautiful passage reflects on how God hears our prayers, forgives our sins, and showers the earth with His blessings. In this sermon, we explore how the overflowing goodness of God in creation mirrors His faithfulness in our lives. Whether in...

Psalm 73 | This Sunday we're excited to dive into another Psalm, specifically the 73rd one! And there is so much to be excited about too, as we've gathered in our new Ballard location I can't help but rejoice at how many new faces and stories God is bringing into our midst. Even if you have only been coming to Sideris a few weeks I would encourage you to engage a face you're unfamiliar with and ge...
