    PP187 Maybe This Year…
    Jan 13 2025
    It's a new year! And it's a good time to get a refreshed perspectve. It is so easy to get bogged down with the responsibiliteis and pressures of life that we forget the Lord is coming. The Lord is certianly not ignorant of our struggles in life, but one of the ways He encourages our hope is to remind us again and again of his soon return. But will it actually be soon? Could this really be the year of the Lord's return?

  • PP186 Necessary Church: It’s Where We Win the War

    PP186 Necessary Church: It’s Where We Win the War
    Dec 16 2024
    In this final episode of Necessary Church we get to see inside the church. What meets our eyes when we do so is a captivating vision of the church. The church is nothing less than God's people speaking the truth of Christ to one another in love in order to combat the lies of the Evil One. Satan is waging a propaganda war in each of our hearts. But there's a place where we can win the war—it's inside the church.

    PP185 Necessary Church: It’s Where We Serve a Bigger Cause
    Dec 9 2024
    Everyone wants their life to be meaningful and impactful. What can I join to be part of something big? How can I really make my life count for God? Scripture teaches us that being a full participant in the life of the local church is key. Consecration to God looks like commitment to one another in the church. Local churches are how God intends to accomplish his mission in the world. And being part of the Church means you ARE part of God's big plan in this age.

    PP184 Necessary Church: It’s Where We Feast & Celebrate
    Dec 2 2024
    Bread and a cup - it sounds like very simple fare. But the depth and richness of the supper the Lord provides for us has no comparison. Unlike life under the Old Covenant, our New Covenant faith is not full of visible, tangible symbols, but the symbols we do have are precious. We see the gospel visibly portrayed in the Lord's Supper. We get to taste forgiveness. It is a gift from the Lord, full of profound meaning, and a special opportunity to enjoy the Lord's grace to us with the church.

  • Necessary Church: It’s Where We Find Community

    Necessary Church: It’s Where We Find Community
    Nov 25 2024
    Looking for community? Trying to find your people? We long for community because God made us that way. Unfortunately, sin and our culture's devotion to personal autonomy keep us from enjoying the life-in-community God intended. But there's a solution. Through the gospel, God has created a new community, the church. And, through the gospel, we can break free from our addiction to personal autonomy and start enjoying the greater freedom of living life together. In this episode we dive into the beauty, birth, necessity, cost, and power, of God's new community, the church.

    PP182 Necessary Church: It’s Where We Hear God Speak
    Nov 18 2024
    A cup of tea, a warm fire, a comfy chair, a quiet time, and my Bible. Beautiful. We treasure those times. But let's also be mindful of treasuring the times the church gathers to hear the Word preached. It is also a precious privilege and another vital reason that God's path for the Christian includes the fellowship of the local church.

  • Necessary Church: It’s Where We’re Finally Free

    Necessary Church: It’s Where We’re Finally Free
    Nov 11 2024
    What if the biggest obstacle keeping you from church is actually the biggest opportunity? We shy away from the local church because we love our freedom. But if freedom is what you're after, then the church is the place to be. To see why people's number one strike against the church is one of the greatest things going for it, you need to (1) hear a story, (2) run a science experiment, and (3) see a picture. This is the first of a six-episode series on the local church.
