In the launch of our new series, “The Stories Behind the Psalms”, we’re taking a look at David’s last days on Earth, as he penned Psalm 24. He was concerned, and maybe even consumed, with leaving a legacy behind… 

In the final installment of the Your Brain in Your Bible series, Pastor Richie Fike digs into an issue that ALL of us have to interrogate within ourselves. Yes, there is a such thing as Clinical Anxiety, but, NO, the rest of us are not exempt. 

At some point in most of our lives, we will come face to face with this week's Mental Health Issue.  Burnout... it's not just for Pastors. It's not just for leaders. It's a topic that reaches all of us where we live... in a hurried, anxious culture desperately trying to discern what matters most.  Brian Pape shares his story of burnout, and the Bible's perspective on the matter. 

One of the scariest disorders in all of Mental Health is DEPRESSION.  Very nuanced, Very studied, and Very serious.  Pastor Richie Fike walks us through the acronym of H.E.A.L. in an effort to help make sense of it, and to give Biblical lifelines to those who are wrestling with it on a daily basis. 

It's Mental Health Awareness Month in America, so we're kicking off a month-long series aimed at tacking one of the most prescient topics in our society today.  Why has the Mental Health become such a stigma in the church? Why are the Mental Health statistics so bleak in America?  What does the Bible have to say about the subject?  Your Brain is a topic thoroughly considered in the pages of Your B...

There are good churches in the world, and there are great churches in the world.  We’ve spent the last 9 weeks talking about HOW to CHURCH.  GARY BRANDENBURG has spent the last 40 years of life doing it.  His question for us today… what distinguishes a Great Church? 

In the series finale of HOW TO CHURCH, we learned about the value of our prayer & worship, not just individually, but collectively. Some things are just better together! 

One of the most quoted verses in the Bible is often quoted in a way that it may not have been intended. See what that and the Muppets have to do with this week’s “How to CHURCH” sermon. 

He is Risen!  On an incredible Sunday where 10 souls shared their decision to "go public" with their faith in baptism, the first ever Movement Church Easter Service was an amazing experience.  Continuing in the How to CHURCH series, we're getting to the good stuff... what we get to do together. And the most important thing we get to do is to PREACH THE GOSPEL. The Good News.  But, if the Gospel is...

What are we called to ? Like a judge banging his gavel in an unruly courtroom, we, the church, are called to ORDER.  God is not a God of chaos, but of beautiful interconnected order.  So, His church must be the same. But, what does ORDER look like within the walls of the local church?  Find out this week… 

We’ve talked in detail about what we’re CALLED. Now, we’re digging into what we’re called TO.  And, there’s a not-so-ordinary word that our church fathers decided was worth identifying, and a not-so-ordinary practice that marks the mystery of Christianity. That word, and that practice, is ORDINANCE .  Find out why it means so much in this week’s sermon from Pastor Richie Fike

We've covered "What we're called".  Now it's time to tackle "What we're called TO" One thing is for certain... God is not the author of chaos or confusion.  His church mustn't be either.  We are called to GOVERNANCE. 

This one is a ride... You've likely heard the phrase, "The Temple of God" at some point in your life. But, have you ever considered the journey that idea has traveled? Have you ever thought about the incredible significance of the dwelling place of God? Find out how the Covid Pandemic, Justin Timberlake, and Bumper-Tables point the way towards... "The Living Temple of God"

As we continue in this series about the worthy weight of the word, "church", we are examining some of the ways that the Bible identifies God's Church. What are we called? one of the famous phrases most Christians know well is this one: "Salt & Light"... But, what does that phrase mean, and what is its actual significance? Find out as John Wilson leads us through this beautiful distinction.

In Modern American culture, the word "church" simply doesn't mean what it's supposed to mean any more. Through years of experiences, good and bad, God's church has gained for herself a repuation. This series, "How to church " is our attempt to reclaim the high ground of the proper weight of that word. And, if you think "church" is a heavy word, wait till you find out the other word God has chosen...

This sermon wasn't supposed to happen the way it did. The Let's Get Moving series was supposed to have been over last week. That is until the Lord made it clear that there was a CORE VALUE missing from our list. And, there was a very important preposition that redefines a crucial proposition. No more hints. Listen to the pod to find out what "God's Favorite Preposition" is...

Does God need your money? Does He want it? Does He request it? If it's true that God doesn't need anything from you, why is it also true that He loves a "cheerful giver"? Of all the Core Values of TMC, this one may be the heaviest... GIVE IN GENEROSITY. And, on a beautiful day in Colorado at the Northgate Chick-fil-a, The Movement Church gathered together to talk about why with Teaching Team Membe...

One of the wildest things Jesus ever did was to take ministry out of the hands of the "Professionals". But, whose hands did he place the responsibility into? Find out in our 3rd Core Value sermon... LIVE ON MISSION.

The highest honor in the Kingdom of God is to hold the title of “servant”. Think of this… God could have doled out dutiful responsibilities to each of us based on what work needed doing. Instead, He chose to appoint each of us with specialized and specific gifts that He then allows us to invest into His work on the Earth. God doesn’t just want us to serve. He wants us to serve in SINCERITY. Let’s...

This "Let's Get Moving" series is designed to remind The Movement Church of its Core Values and get us organized and mobilized for what God is preparing for us in 2024. John Wilson is leading over our Growth Group Ministry, so who better to talk to us about the value of growing in "circles instead of rows"?

This time of year, every year, people all over the world ask themselves if they ought to make space for God in their lives. The question behind the question is this one... "What does Christianity have to offer me?" Romans 12 has a terrific answer to that question.

None of us can KNOW what we'll face in the new year. We can't know what we'll be up against... but we CAN know what we'll be FOR. Pastor Richie Fike will walk you through 3 declarative statements you can make as you head into 2024 that can set the pace for your year. We don't know what's in store, but, we can know what we're for...

All the Gospel Writers Ended up in the same place... with Jesus Christ, betrayed, tried, crucified, resurrected and victorious. But, none of them started at the same place. Matthew started with Geneology. Luke, with a personal letter to a friend. Mark went straight to the action. Only John the Beloved linked the story of the life of Jesus to the overarching story of the Bible, and that's the real...

"When the tired and the hurting are lifting their heads to be met with the love that can heal every heart... THIS IS CHRISTMAS" Who are the tired and the hurting in the Christmas Story? Who are the tired and the hurting in your story? Don't miss the people for the pageantry this Christmas... And, think twice the next time you look at your Nativity Scene.

After months of pouring through the rich text of Paul’s letter to the Ephesian Church, we have come to what he calls “A Final Word”. What’s that final word? Suit up for battle. Paul is going to give us 7 Secrets to Successful Spiritual Battle that are as fundamentally true now as they were then.
