Faith and Work
How does our faith impact our work? In his instruction to slaves and masters, the Apostle Paul isn’t condoning slavery. Rather, he is providing teaching on how the gospel impacts and transforms our work relationships and our work itself. Either in the home or outside, either paid or unpaid, people spend most of their waking hours working. As servants of God, Christians are called to work as an obedient response to faith. This is kingdom work. And no matter what we do, kingdom work should have an impact on our jobs. This sermon is part of “The Family of God” […]

Children-ing and Parenting with a Purpose
How does the good news of Jesus impact our home life? Continuing to unpack how the gospel transforms everything in life, the Apostle Paul turns his attention to the relationship between children and parents. Both the obedience of a child to their parent and the desire of a parent to lovingly instruct and discipline their child can reflect the heart of God for all people. It takes intentionality, hard work, and a lot of grace in “children-ing” and parenting with a purpose. This sermon is part of “The Family of God” series. Recorded on Aug 7, 2016, by Jason Steger on […]

Discovering Marriage
A marriage can be beautiful and leave a lasting, positive legacy for generations. But it can also be incredibly hard and painful, leaving deep wounds. Is there some secret to a good marriage?? The secret is: marriage tells a greater story. The relationship between a husband and wife is supposed to tell the gospel story of the relationship between Christ and the church. Only when your marriage tells a greater story—when you see that your marriage involves you but is not primarily about you—will you have the power to overcome pain and conflict, to stay faithful to one another, and to […]

You Are a ‘This’…Not a ‘That’
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise, but as wise,” writes the Apostle Paul. After unpacking what the gospel is in the first half of Ephesians, Paul goes on to describe what the gospel does to bring transformation to all of life. From our sexuality to our language to our wisdom to what we consume—God is calling us from darkness to light in Christ as his dearly loved child. Out of our identity, we’re called to a new way of life. You are a ‘this’…not a ‘that’! This sermon is part of “The Family of God” series. Recorded on Jul […]

Walking in the Way of Jesus
A good story has the power to change you. The characters, values, emotions, and even words of a good story have the power to change your life. But God’s story—the gospel—doesn’t just have the power to change you, it has the power to completely transform every aspect of life forever! In learning to walk in the way of Jesus, there are many things to learn in the “how.” How to treat others, how to speak the truth in love, how to act in anger, how to forgive those who have wronged you, etc. But if you don’t understand the “why” […]

Made New
The Christian life is hard—it’s a battle. You’d think life would get easier in following Jesus, but the struggle against sin remains. If you fail to recognize the battle or fail to understand how to fight in the battle, you will fall in the battle. But we are called to put off the old self and put on the new self—to fight with the strength that God gives us—to be made new by faith in Jesus. The good news is that we do not fight alone, and ultimately, it is God who has won our victory in Christ. This sermon is […]
