Jude 12-13

Jude paints six unforgettable pictures from nature to expose the danger of people who look spiritually alive but produce no lasting fruit. This episode explores Jesus’ invitation to abide in Him, reminding us that true spiritual substance is found not in appearances or activity, but in a life that remains deeply rooted in Christ.

Jude 8-11
Jude warns about people who reject God’s authority, trust their own desires instead of His truth, and speak arrogantly about things they don’t understand. By comparing them to Cain, Balaam, and Korah, he shows that rebellion against God always leads to destruction unless there is repentance.

Jude 5-7
Pastor Casey shows how Jude calls three Biblical examples as witnesses, to pull the Christian church back from judgement.

Framework: Pastor Isaac Brickner pushes us to understand how responsible following of Christ is seeking the Lord relationally, through repentance and for revival. 

Framework: Pastor Casey kicks us off in laying out the trajectory of what are framework is building us towards from Col. 1.

Mary comes looking for closure… She finds a risen Savior who knows her name. In John 20, we see that the resurrection isn’t just proof to consider, but a Person to encounter—and that changes how you live every single day.

In the cross we see a double movement of judgment for the severity of sin and forgiveness based on the costly sacrifice of Jesus. Pastoral Resident Scot Bommarito shares how the Gospel invites us to ponder both truths as we fix our eyes on the cross of Christ.

In Gethsemane, while Jesus wrestles in prayer under crushing pressure, His disciples repeatedly fall asleep, missing the moment they were called to stay awake and watch. This passage confronts our spiritual drowsiness and calls us to a life of alert, dependent prayer in the moments that matter most.

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus is crushed under the unbearable weight of what lies ahead, yet chooses surrender over escape.

Guest preacher, Pastor Landon MacDonald helps us understand the strength of the secret place of prayer.

1 Samuel 31
Our final sermon within 1 Samuel, and it's bleak. We see the death of King Saul as the solemn lesson for great need of faithfulness.

1 Samuel 29-30 finds David at one of his lowest episodes—his honor shamed by the Philistine commanders, his family kidnapped by the raiding Amalekites, and his men whispering of mutiny. Yet in this moment of darkness, we see a God of redemptive reversal and counterintuitive provision as David found strength in the LORD his God.

1 Samuel 28
Saul, abandoned by God and desperate for direction, seeks out a medium at Endor, crossing a line he once outlawed in a final attempt to control his fate. In one of the darkest chapters of 1 Samuel, we see what happens when fear replaces faith and a leader who refused God’s voice now finds only silence.

In 1 Samuel 26–27, David passes the test of power again by sparing Saul’s life a second time, proving he is free enough to trust God’s timing instead of seizing the throne. Yet in the very next chapter, weary of waiting, he stops inquiring of the Lord and seeks safety among the Philistines, showing how even faithful obedience can erode when trust gives way to survival.

In 1 Samuel 24, David spares Saul in the cave, refusing to seize the throne by violence and entrusting God with both timing and justice. In 1 Samuel 25, that same restraint nearly collapses when David is provoked by Nabal, until Abigail intervenes and keeps him from shedding blood he would later regret, revealing how the wilderness tests not just public obedience but the heart itself.

In 1 Samuel 23, David models a life shaped by inquiry, not impulse, repeatedly asking the Lord before every move while hunted, betrayed, and under pressure. This episode explores how clarity comes not from confidence or strength, but from humble dependence on God in the wilderness.

Pastor Chad Bohi joins us from Radiant Central Coast to discuss Luke 18.

1 Samuel 21-22
David flees betrayal and danger by running first to the presence of God, where mercy meets him before clarity, provision comes before explanation, and grace sustains him in weakness. In the caves of 1 Samuel 21–22,
we see a God who gathers the broken, feeds the undeserving, and forms a kingdom not through strength or sacrifice, but through mercy.

1 Samuel 20
David is hunted, innocent, and afraid, yet he refuses to let fear disciple his desires. In this chapter, covenant love rewires David and Jonathan, showing us how true courage and peace are born from loving God more than power, safety, or control.

New Year’s resolutions ask what we want out of life, but Scripture presses a deeper question: what does God want from it? In this raw and challenging message from Acts 20, we explore holy regret, Spirit-led resolve, and what it means to finish our course with joy rather than stand at eternity’s gate wishing we had done more.

Matthew 2:13-18 shows a world filled with danger, injustice, and grief, yet one in which God is still faithfully at work. Join us as we look at how the flight to Egypt and the cries of Bethlehem reveal both the cost and the hope of Christmas.

The story of the Messiah's arrival continues with a juxtaposition of two cities (Jerusalem and Bethlehem) and two kings (Herod and Jesus). King Herod desperately tries to hang on to his illegitimate authority as the news of the long-awaited Messianic King spreads through his city like wildfire. As his response to this revelation reveals his insecurity, a faithful response is ironically displayed by pagan astrologers from a Gentile nation, who follow a star to Bethlehem, where they worship the new King of the Jews.

Matthew tells the shocking story of a God who steps into human history through a scandal, not a spotlight, entering the world through a virgin’s womb and a confused, faithful carpenter. In Joseph’s obedience and the child’s name Emmanuel, we see the Christmas truth that God comes near when life feels most uncertain.

In this episode, guest preacher Pastor Troy Wong leads us through 1 Samuel 19. He explores the contrast between living under God’s judgment and under His protection, how this should apply to our faith, and the consequences of disobedience and failing to pursue God.

1 Samuel 18:10-30

An evil spirit torments Saul and drives him into a frenzy of jealousy, violence, and manipulation as he tries to take David out—yet God keeps lifting David higher. This episode unpacks how Saul weaponizes Michal’s marriage to trap David, and how God turns every dark scheme into another step toward David’s calling.

1 Samuel 18:1-9
David’s victory wins the people’s praise—but also exposes two hearts: Jonathan’s humility and Saul’s jealousy. This episode explores how true friendship celebrates God’s favor, while envy tries to compete with it.

1 Samuel 17:38-58

Saul’s armor can’t fit the boy who’s already clothed in faith.
From a streambed and a sling, David shows that the victory of God never comes through human strength, but through trust that the battle belongs to the Lord.

1 Samuel 17:1-37

David arrives at the battlefield and sees what fear has done to God’s people. Before he ever fights Goliath, faith starts forming in the field—and now it’s time to speak up.

Pastor Sam Gibson from Church of the City NYC leads us through understanding the complexity and beauty of our God within pain.
