The Pearl 18:44

2M ago18:44

18:44

This is Pastor Paul’s final talk before sabbatical and retirement. Placing oneself under the Lordship of Jesus (the Kingdom of God in me) means the complete denial of self and a total commitment to Christ. It begins with someone’s pursuit of something valuable—God’s Kingdom. Let us joyfully let go of all competing claims on our lives and make pursu…

The Good Samaritan 46:43

3M ago46:43

46:43

The Bible teaches that the motivation to serve others, all others, selflessly is not from duty or guilt, but because of grace. Because of all that God has done for us, and it is all because of His grace, we are not free to pick and choose who we are to treat with kindness and grace. Our relationship with Jesus prompts us to respond to all others as…

Rerun: Living the Bible 31:23

3M ago31:23

31:23

This Sunday, 9/1/24, we gave our tech team the week off and didn't record the service. Enjoy this throwback episode you may have missed when it first released. The Bible is truthful and reliable. We can believe this but not live it out—the Bible should guide the way we think, act, and live. The way of the Bible is for our and our neighbor’s good— l…

Worship and Service 29:23

3M ago29:23

29:23

Isaiah is given a glimpse into the majesty of God up in heaven, and the praise of angels to God because of His holiness. Viewing God as He truly is shouldn’t scare us but lead us into a deeper relationship. This depth is brought about by our confession of sin and God’s abundant grace of forgiveness. This growing relationship of grace should prompt …

God's Presence 48:33

3M ago48:33

48:33

Pastor Mary continues the series on Worship focusing on the Presence of God. We explore God’s Presence in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and God’s Presence among us today. God’s Presence is always with us. One way God manifests His Presence is in and through our worship of Him. Psalm 139:1-12 with focus on vs. 7 Watch the full service on You…

Worship and Relationship 35:56

4M ago35:56

35:56

We know we should be more like Mary rather than Martha, and we want to be more like Mary. Of all the dishes to fix in life, the dish of worship is better than the rest. When we gather for worship, it is an expression and growth of the relationship of God and His people. In fact, it can be helpful to think of worship as a mutual pursuit of each othe…

Worship and Glory 34:06

4M ago34:06

34:06

In our daily life, our purpose is to bring glory to God in all we do. When we do this, we become the people God intended us to be, and He blesses our lives. In the sphere of corporate worship, this too is aimed to bring glory to God. In the Old Testament, God kept saying that He was tired of sacrifices during Temple worship—for what He wants is a p…

Only Jesus 30:00

4M ago30:00

30:00

Things that don’t change we can view as boring—same-o, same-o. But Jesus is anything but boring. Digging deep into Jesus unearths great truths with life changing insights about His love. Following Him leads us to new and exciting ways to experience Him and His love. Hebrews 13:8 Watch the full service on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/qmrlXH…

Don't Give In 31:29

4M ago31:29

31:29

While the Christian’s calling includes not conforming to the world, we do live life touching the world. We are not to be in isolation from the influences of the world but live out what it means to bring God’s grace and love to the world. In this way we serve as priests to those who need to see our Jesus. Verse: Keep on loving one another as brother…

Rerun: A Gathered Church 34:11

5M ago34:11

34:11

We had technical issues recording July 7's talk, so please enjoy this rerun instead. Deuteronomy 4:5-8 Being a community is more than a gathering of people. It is living out together the wisdom and ways of God. As a faith community does just this, its neighbors see God and His people as something they need and want. Living out God’s way of life tog…

Fully with Us: Like the Weak 35:01

5M ago35:01

35:01

In Hebrews 11 we see people demonstrating incredible faith, we see God showing up in incredible ways, and we begin to think that there is a causal relationship between our faith and God’s actions. But what happens when one doesn’t have incredible faith? Or what happens when one does have faith and God doesn’t come through as we want Him to? Sometim…

Rerun: The Holy Spirit and the Beloved Community 47:04

5M ago47:04

47:04

Once per month, Discovery has a Discipleship Emphasis Sunday which focuses on a video from The Bible Project instead of a talk. Therefore, there is no new talk this week. The talk we're sharing today was preached June 5, 2023. Ephesians 3:14-21 “The gospel is inherently selfless and builds a community where we are all able to thrive.” View the full…

Fully with Us: Like Moses 49:11

5M ago49:11

49:11

Moses’ faith, beginning as it did with his parents who by faith gained some inkling of the child’s destiny, (Moses’ faith) compelled him to forfeit the immediate for the future, the seen for the unseen, to choose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than enjoying the pleasures of sin for a moment. He regarded disgrace for the sake o…

Fully with Us: Like Abraham and Sarah 34:27

6M ago34:27

34:27

Hebrews 11:8-13 Having spent decades growing stable faith in Abraham and Sarah, we see how stable faith works. In four instances, God calls this couple to move forward in faith based on the promises God gave to them. Because these promises will be experienced in part and not in their totality, their faith trusts God to ultimately fulfill all His pr…

Steady Faith 37:39

6M ago37:39

37:39

Faith is setting our heart on the true and sure reality of who God is, what He has done, and what He promises. A steady faith follows these invisible realities of God, not the visible things we see with physical eyes. This chapter of Heroes of the Faith begins with defining how firm faith in God differs from walking by trust in the things of this w…

Full of Faith 28:42

7M ago28:42

28:42

Christ is the foundation of our faith. We live by faith and not by sight. So many of the heroes of faith did not see what was promised, yet they persevered. Through Christ we have the ability to persevere with the greater hope that we will see what He promised. Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (Heb…

Fully Committed 35:23

7M ago35:23

35:23

Because of Jesus, His one sacrifice for us is all we need for forgiveness and new life in Him. As we cling to these promises, we encourage each other to hold on to this hope that is found only in Christ. Because Jesus is fully committed to us, we take that and be fully committed also to one another. Verse: For by one sacrifice he has made perfect f…

How Much More 26:54

Heaven is more real than the broken world we see around us. Christ’s sacrifice sets us free to live in his presence, allowing us to start to experience that eternal reality even now in the body of Christ.

This week, worship began with communion. A short pause is included in the podcast where communion was served before the talk begins. Because of Jesus, we have access to what is better than what this world has to offer. Being the better high priest and offering a better sacrifice, we have access to a better life, a life that has its totality in Jesu…

Resurrection Day 32:46

The Lamb of God 32:47

8M ago32:47

32:47

At different times in our lives, we all need some sort of rescue. To “be saved” is to “be rescued.” The stories and ceremonies within the Old Testament all point towards the One and the way that Father God would provide rescue—through His selected Lamb. We are saved by the blood of the Lamb. Exodus 12:1-6; John 1:29-31 Watch the full service: https…

Fully Sufficient 39:08

9M ago39:08

39:08

Just as we need mediators in many parts of our lives, we need a spiritual mediator to be the go-between between us and God. In Old Testament times, God provided the High Priest. Now, Jesus is the only High Priest we need to mediate on our behalf before God. He is the only One who clicks all the boxes of what is needed in a spiritual mediator. Hebre…

Fully Anchored 35:02

9M ago35:02

35:02

Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant. Fulfilling the requirements of every priest that ever existed, Jesus became the high priest (the one who offers the sacrifice), the altar (where the sacrifice is made), and the sacrifice (the actual offering) once and for all, for us. He is solid and stable, never moving, so on Him we can place o…

Fully Qualified 42:33

9M ago42:33

42:33

The role of the High Priest was to be the highest representative of God to His people, and God’s people to God. Because of this, the qualifications of the High Priest were high. Jesus fulfilled all the human qualifications of being a High Priest, but more than that, He was appointed as Father God. Hebrews 4:14-5:10 Watch the full service here: http…

Guest preacher Rev. Matthew Wright joins us for this 4th installment of our Snapshots of Greatness series. Hebrews 4:12-16 The word of God cuts us to the core and lays us bare before our judge.

Fully Faithful 44:55

10M ago44:55

44:55

In Christ we have a calling to persevere against unbelief. Throughout Israel’s history, the repetitive behavioral pattern of chasing after other gods and forgetting the promises of God is a prominent theme. Through Christ, our hearts of stone can become hearts of flesh—being in communion with Him, and in community with others, to press against the …

Therefore . . . Go! 46:51

11M ago46:51

46:51

The Bible is full of stories of men and women who had doubts and fears, yet trusted that God was bigger than those doubts and fears. Jesus’ final words were to a group of young men that doubted. Yet they obeyed and God used them to change the world. Will we trust God today in the midst of our own doubts and fears? Matthew 28:16-20 Ryan Waalkes is a…

Christmas 17:48

11M ago17:48

17:48

Christmas is here. We love love stories, and so we might think on this day of the love story between Joseph and Mary. But this day is not about their story, but His love story. Today is about God fulfilling promises to bring His love in His Son down to earth for us. Luke 2:1-20 Watch the full service on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/VRc2QUt…

Christmas is about God’s salvation for us. Strip everything else away from Christmas but this truth, and it will still be a great Christmas. John’s birth tells what this child will do—announce God’s plan of salvation. Zechariah’s song, his response to God’s goodness, is praising our Lord and also proclaiming God’s salvation.

The Visitations 38:56

God’s great plan of new life should be responded to by incredible joy—spontaneous joy. The ARRIVAL of Mary at Elizabeth’s place brings joy to their home. Jesus does that to people.

God fulfills His promises in miraculous ways that mystify us.
