- 101 - Blessed: Mourners

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 - 22min - 100 - Blessed: Poor in Spirit
Jesus speaks more about money than any other topic. Is wealth a bad thing in and of itself? Jesus warns about the pursuit of wealth as our end goal but wealth can be used for God. When Jesus talks about being “poor in spirit” it is more about a disposition before God the Father than […]

Sun, 14 Jun 2020 - 26min - 89 - 10 Christian Practices: Silence

Enjoying life has something to do with the motivation behind it. We are not just called to enjoy whatever we desire or purely selfish things. God calls us to live a life in service to others and God. When our heart is transformed to live for others, we find fun and enjoyment in giving.
Sat, 25 Apr 2020 - 5min - 81 - Daily Reflections – Dance Like No One Is Watching
David danced before the Ark of the Covenant when it came to Jerusalem for the first time. His joy and excitement led him to not care who was watching and what they thought about him. Do we enjoy the blessings of the Lord so much that no one else's opinion matters? We reflect on this today.

Sun, 19 Apr 2020 - 21min - 75 - Daily Reflections – Trust Bow
The elders in the throne room before God in Revelation 4 lay their crowns down before him. They have been given authority and glory, and yet they chose to surrender all of that in trust of the one who sits on the rightful throne. Christian life is to be an emulation of this image. We place all we have at the feet of the Lord and trust in God!
Sun, 19 Apr 2020 - 4min - 74 - Daily Reflections – Trust Fall
Jesus fell on his face in the Garden of Gethsemane. That moment of frailty, casting himself on his Father, is an example of how we face difficult times.

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 - 4min - 73 - Daily Reflections – Trust Walk

Thu, 16 Apr 2020 - 5min - 72 - Daily Reflections – Trust and Wisdom
Proverbs says that the beginning of all wisdom is to trust God. Trust does not come easily for us and needs to be cultivated. We need to know that God is trustworthy but luckily God has gone to great lengths to prove that. If we want to have godly wisdom, we'll need to cultivate a trust in God.

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 - 19min - 65 - Daily Reflections – Waiting Passionately
The word "Passion" comes from the Latin translation of the Greek word "Pathos" which means suffering. The idea of suffering in waiting is not one we easily receive but if we follow in the footsteps of Jesus, we may be called to suffer in his name. Next week we celebrate Holy Week, or "Passion Week", and focus on the Passion Narratives of the Gospels. In what ways can we learn from Jesus' suffering to endure the times of suffering we face?
Sat, 04 Apr 2020 - 5min - 64 - Daily Reflections – Waiting Energetically
We don't wait for God in apathy or unpreparedness. Like a bride or groom waiting for their future spouse, we wait for perfect union with our savior one day. While we wait that unity becomes more and more realized in our daily lives. We contemplate this idea for the reflection today.
Fri, 03 Apr 2020 - 4min - 63 - Daily Reflections – Waiting Transformation
Waiting has more of a purpose than just achieving the end goal we are waiting for. God uses waiting to transform us more into the image of Jesus. Today we contemplate this idea.
Fri, 03 Apr 2020 - 4min - 62 - Daily Reflections – Waiting Attentively
Waiting is about where our attention is. Are we focused on the things of this world or on our own desires? Or are we focused on God and God's desires for us? I reflect on this in today's podcast.
Wed, 01 Apr 2020 - 4min - 61 - Daily Reflections – Waiting Actively

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 - 5min - 56 - Daily Reflections – Sabbath Time
The Sabbath is a unique part of God's creation because it deals soley with time. The rest of creation deals with material space. We are reminded in Sabbath that we are not merely spatial creatures but creatures in time as well. Today I reflect on this concept.

The spread of COVID-19 has changed many of our daily lives. We have been forced to slow down and be more mindful of our health, time, and so much more. The Biblical principle of Sabbath is the perfect way to re-frame this shift in our daily rhythms. This week I will be exploring what the Sabbath means and how it can fit into this paradigm shift we are going through.

Sun, 16 Feb 2020 - 23min - 48 - Social? Corrupting Speech

Sun, 12 Jan 2020 - 29min - 43 - As With Gladness Men of Old

Sun, 05 Jan 2020 - 23min - 42 - Silent Night
The night that Jesus was born was unlikely to be silent, so why does the hymn “Silent Night” resonate so much with the Christmas season? I contemplate the inspiration of this hymn and how it can be an analogy of peace and stillness before God even when our lives are busy and noisy.
Wed, 25 Dec 2019 - 12min - 41 - Angels We Have Heard on High

Sun, 24 Nov 2019 - 20min - 36 - Something New

Sun, 11 Aug 2019 - 29min - 25 - The People of God: Family
In this last week of my series on what it means to be “The People of God” I take a look at the analogy used more informally, “Family”. The Scriptures refer to Christians as brothers and sisters, and Sons of God. What do these sayings mean for who we are in the world?
Sun, 04 Aug 2019 - 27min - 24 - The People of God: Body

Sun, 30 Jun 2019 - 18min - 20 - Sing and Rejoice: Set of Practices

Sun, 21 Apr 2019 - 19min - 14 - The Last Week
This week we explore Jesus’ last week. What does Jesus’ final seven days speak to our journey on The Way? Jesus’ actions are provacative and enforcing the rest of his three year ministry. Do his actions on Palm Sunday as he entered Jerusalem convict us today of the uncoverted parts of our lives?
Sun, 14 Apr 2019 - 27min - 13 - Sinners, Outcast, and the Poor
Jesus ministered to those that were cast out from society and those who were in prominence. Jesus showed all respect and diginity as image bearers of God. Are we too judgemental of those around us? Do we hold on to grudges and hurts, refusing to forgive? Jesus calls us to follow after him in being […]
Sun, 07 Apr 2019 - 28min - 12 - Calming the Storms
Only God has the power to control the wind and the waves. Jesus shows his power in being able to command the wind and waves of a storm while at sea with his disciples. Do we trust in him in the midst of our own storms in life?
Sun, 31 Mar 2019 - 28min - 11 - The Kingdom of God
Arguably the central message of Jesus’ ministry and teaching is that God’s Kingdom has come on earth in a new way in Him. Paul takes this message to a universal message later by calling Jesus Lord, a description normally held for Caesar. What does it mean for those who follow in the Way of Jesus […]
Fri, 29 Mar 2019 - 25min - 10 - Healing Ministry
Jesus was a healing force to all around him. He did not discriminate between the poor or rich but healed all who came to him in faith. He even healed some who weren’t asking for it. Are we willing to be healed by Jesus? Do we believe he can heal us? Are we willing to […]

Sun, 10 Mar 2019 - 25min - 8 - Hope in the Darkness
Suffering is common to us all but what are we to do in the midst of it? God offers us hope in spite of our various sufferings. How can we lean on God’s promises in the midst of the darkness? God has redeemed suffering by entering into suffering and making our suffering into a way […]
Sun, 03 Mar 2019 - 20min - 7 - Fog in the Darkness
In this sermon I examine the feeling of deep loss which comes in the midst of suffering. We experience loss in far more situations than the death of someone we love. A divorce, job shift, or any other life change can trigger a sense of loss. Without supporting one another through these feelings of loss, […]
Sun, 24 Feb 2019 - 26min - 6 - Surrendering in the Darkness
