Tab Church Podcast

We all need times when we press pause and reevaluate our life–literally, we need to re-value the things we prize: the way we invest our time and energy in pursuit of our deepest dreams. As we enter the summer season at Tab, the last book of the Bible, Revelation, will help us reevaluate our lives in light of the ultimate realities of heaven and eternity. In this 10-week sermon series, we will conn...

Listen in as Paster Will talks about keeping secrets with God and how we should hold fast to Jesus, let go of idols, change directions before disaster, and enjoy secrecy with God. 

Join in and listen as Dainel continues our sermon series in Revelation. In this sermon, he talks about how we should notice others, just like how Christ notices us, and how we should live out the gospel and let people see Christ in us. Do people see Christ in you?

This week Pastor Will takes us through Revelation 2

We all need times when we press pause and reevaluate our life–literally, we need to re-value the things we prize: the way we invest our time and energy in pursuit of our deepest dreams. As we enter the summer season at Tab, the last book of the Bible, Revelation, will help us reevaluate our lives in light of the ultimate realities of heaven and eternity. In this 10-week sermon series, we will conn...

It's a tremendous thought to consider that God has a will for our lives! All that our lives are comprised of! His will isn't limited to these "big decisions" of life. His will permeates all our lives, even in the daily moments. His will extends from the church pew to the dining table. There is no greater joy than walking with the Lord and experiencing His good, pleasing, and perfect will. God's st...

Solomon was right. Life under the sun without Christ is futile. But life isn't limited to life under the sun. Jesus won the victory of God through the cross, and His kingdom will one day reclaim every square inch of this futile world, even as it ushers in a new heaven and earth.

Solomon hasn't said it because he didn't have the words, but he's reminded us of our need for God's grace. His unmerited and unearned favor over our lives. There is a riddle to life that will remain. Why do bad things happen to good people? I don't know because I'm not sure how we qualify "good." I know that I tend to fluctuate between self-righteousness and wickedness. Am I a good person? I'm not...

If you have a quarter friend, call them this week and tell them thank you for being your friend. Set up a time to do something. Husbands, give your wives a blessing to foster friendships. Step up this week to give your wife margin to spend time with a friend. She needs that time to be encouraged by another woman. Let's be especially mindful of mothers whose husbands are deployed or single parents....

I'm not sure what area of our lives God's timing might be causing frustration, but God has given us the perfect example of making everything beautiful in its time. He's demonstrated this in our eternal salvation! If God has done this for us in Christ, why would we not turn to Him in faith in all our activities under the sun? We can be frustrated by our limitations, or we can turn by faith to the o...

Solomon's downfall wasn't in his experience of pleasure. That's what can make life so ironic. God took pleasure in His creation! I don't know where we get the idea that following Jesus is anti-pleasure. No! It's when we pursue pleasure for our own glory that it becomes problematic. Go back and read Ecclesiastes 2 and see who is at the center of Solomon's world. He did not trust in the goodness of...

Physical water will quench temporarily, but the living water of Jesus satisfies forever. Solomon tried to find life in every well that this world had to offer. He concluded that it is a futile pursuit. So, what well are you running to today? There is only one with living water. That is a life pledged to Jesus, abiding in His presence through the Holy Spirit, and expressing itself in love toward Go...

As Jesus followers, we get the added benefit of seeing what God has done for us in Christ! Solomon was looking ahead at what God would do. We get the privilege of looking back at what God has done in Christ. We also get the privilege of living every day with the power of the Holy Spirit. But even as Jesus followers, we still look at life and say that it ought not be this way. We live in the tensio...

Easter is the celebration of an event. Jesus rose from the grave. 500 people gave witness to His resurrection, including His half-brother. But the true significance of Easter is what Jesus accomplished and the unlimited access we have to the presence and power of God. And it's good for eternity!

Jesus is the Greatest Of All Time. He is far more than an example. He paid the price to ransom us from death to life. But He calls us to come and die so that we might live. His glory and our joy are inseparable. We don't experience joy through seeking our own glory, but through seeking His glory. We seek His glory by presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice. We deny ourselves by delighting in G...

Have you claimed your position in God's kingdom? We become citizens of God's kingdom through our allegiance to Jesus. Trust Him. We participate in God's kingdom by hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Righteousness isn't a set of rules to follow. Righteousness is our right standing before God through Jesus Christ that makes us alive to the things of God. It may seem like a mustard seed, but...

This week, listen in as Pastor Will continues our sermon series "Giving Up to Gain." In this sermon, Past Will talks about how we have to embrace interruptions, entrust whatever, and experience satisfaction.

Maybe there are some who have walked with Jesus on the road of discipleship for a while, but the people or possessions of this world are pulling you in a direction of ineffectiveness. God extends His grace to begin a relationship with Him, and He extends His grace to continue in relationship. We're not defined by our mistakes. Talk to Jesus today and reconsider the demands of discipleship. What ar...

The call of a disciple is an open invitation, but few will choose to follow. Don't look at everyone else. The question is for you and me. What is your soul worth? What are you willing to exchange for it? We find ourselves by losing ourselves. There is great gain in giving up.

Listen in as Pastor Will talks about how we should love badly behaved people, paint the bigger picture, and wait for God's vindication. 

God can do a lot through a low-key leader. These 3 young men were tossed into the fire because they stood on their convictions in humility and courage. Through the influence of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, it was King Nebi who ended up changing his tune that day. God used the influence of three powerless young men to shape the heart of the world's most powerful leader at the time. Look at God...

Elisha refused to accept the gifts because Elisha also knew that it was God who brought about his healing. God used a nameless servant girl to work in the life of her master. Naaman, the master, ended up becoming a servant when God healed him. We never know where low-key leadership will lead! Let's be people who see God working in our circumstances by stepping into need with compassionate and cour...

These Old Testament texts can be difficult for us to wrestle with. Perhaps it is uncomfortable to think about God as a judge. There are aspects of  God's character that are hard to explain. God is love, and He is just. Both the love of God and the justice of God were fully displayed on the cross. God can't ignore the penalty of sin. It would be unloving and unjust. He also knows His holy standard...

Listen in as Pastor Will continues our sermon series "Leadership Low-Key." Pastor Will discusses how we should embrace sublimity, yet also remain anonymous about it. It is all for God's glory and not our own.

Deborah stands out as an exemplary leader in a low-key kind of way. She does so by developing a life of godly wisdom, decisively rendering judgments. She wasn't afraid of conflict. She spoke accurately and clearly what the Lord had commanded. When she was asked to lead by example, she did so. This is a remarkable woman of faith who enacted the judgments of God with humility and courage. She is tru...
