Unpacking Sunday

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Luke and Mike find themselves (once again) talking about butter tarts — but this time, Mike uses the sweetest transition ever, connecting Acts 2:22–35 to “food for your spirit and sweetness for your soul.” From there, they dive deep into the heart of the gospel, reflecting on how Jesus’ work on the cross was always part of God’s plan from the very beginning. Along t...

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Luke and Mike continue their journey through the book of Acts, diving into Acts 2:14–23—Peter’s famous sermon that moved the hearts of thousands.

The conversation also turns personal as they talk about what it looks like to f...

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Mike and Luke record live with a special audience during our annual staff retreat. Continuing the conversation on ordinances and sacraments, they turn their focus to worship and liturgy. Too often, worship gets reduced to a 20-minute set on a Sunday morning—but as Luke and Mike remind us, true worship is so much more. It’s a daily rhythm of dedicating every part of...

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Luke and Mike wrestle with a hard but honest reality: sometimes God doesn’t answer our prayers for healing the way we hope He will. What does that mean for how we see Him at work? They talk about how God often uses these moments to lead us deeper into relationship and dependence on Him. Yes, God still heals today—but the bigger question is this: can we trust Him eve...

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Luke and Mike dive into the meaning and significance of the Lord’s Supper—also known as communion, or in some traditions, the Eucharist. They explore how, in many evangelical and charismatic circles, we can sometimes lose sight of the wonder and beauty of this ancient practice that Jesus Himself established. The conversation looks at how we as a church can approach...

Luke and Mike manage to carve out time from their shifting vacation schedules to dive into the topic of baptism.

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Mike and Luke approach a topic that is both culturally charged and deeply personal: same-sex marriage. As part of the Is It True? series, they open Scripture to explore what the Bible actually says about marriage, identity, and God’s design for human relationships. Together, they reflect on what a biblically defined marriage looks like, and how we as believers—and e...

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Luke and Mike continue the Is It True? series, diving into one of the big questions believers wrestle with: what do we do with the Law?

They explore the difference between cultural context and timeless biblical truth, and discuss how Jesus' life, death, a...

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Luke and Mike kick off a brand new sermon series called Is It True? —a deep dive into commonly heard statements and whether they still hold up today, or if they’re bound to cultural context.

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Mike and Luke take a closer look at the unexpected—and remarkable—response of the King of Nineveh to Jonah’s warning. In a move rarely seen from those in power, the king doesn’t delay, debate, or deflect. Instead, he humbles himself completely, leading the entire city (yes, even the animals!) in fasting and repentance. It’s a powerful example of what it looks like t...

This week on Unpacking Sunday , Mike and Luke sit down to unpack Pastor Murphy Ode’s powerful sermon, “No Greater Love.” It’s an honest look at the mindset so many of us fall into—that maybe God doesn’t really love me , or isn’t all that concerned with my life. Pastor Murphy walks through the suffering of Christ on the cross to remind us that God’s love isn’t abstract—it’s proven, personal, and re...
