The Hope to Return to Sacred Space
In this message, we take a journey throughout the theme of priesthood and sacred space, and then we hone in on how the coming messiah was an instillation of hope into these themes.

Does God Move in Waves?
Since the pandemic started, God has felt strangely distant to many. Is there any Biblical precedent to that or is it just the way we feel? Since God is omnipresent, should we always sense his presence to the fullest degree from one day to the next, or does he sometimes pull back to a certain…

What is Joy?
In my first few months of pastoring, I decided I was going to preach on the topic of joy. Our newly relaunched church was that of two churches becoming one and this brought with it some awkwardness and confusion. We had to figure out who we were and what pieces of each church would continue…

A Royal Priesthood
Today we often act as though priests and pastors are the ones who need to usher us into sacred space to meet with God, but the Bible calls Christians a “royal priesthood.” That’s a huge statement, given that priests in the Bible were meditators between God and humanity. In this episode we give a condensed…

Jesus the Faithful Witness
In Revelation 1:5, John pulls from Psalm 89 to bestow three different titles upon Jesus. In his first title of, “faithful witness,” John likens Jesus to the moon. Where’s he headed with this analogy?

At times it even feels as though the church thinks Satan owns science, which is actually quite a blasphemous thought. We…

Is, Was, and Is to Come
John’s epic title for God isn’t new with him. It’s actually a play upon the ultimate name of God that was revealed to Moses at the burning bush. Check out how John takes a number of verses throughout the Bible and throws them into a blender to create Revelation’s awe-inspiring, timeless, mega name for God—and…
