In a culture torn between obsessing over the body and despising it, Scripture offers a healing and hopeful vision of embodied humanity. The Song of Songs affirms that our bodies are not problems to be solved but gifts to be received — created good by God, wounded by sin, yet never stripped of dignity. In Jesus, we are given a future hope in which our bodies are redeemed, restored, and made whole. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris invites us to rediscover a theology of the body that leads from confusion to clarity and from brokenness to glory.

As a new year begins, Scripture calls us to consider not just better habits but a better focus — one that anchors our lives in what truly lasts. The book of Hebrews lifts our eyes to the supremacy of Jesus, revealing him as greater than prophets, angels, and every other voice that competes for our attention. Left unattended, faith can quietly drift, but a clear vision of Christ draws us back to the greatness of the salvation he has fully accomplished. Watch this sermon as Andrew Smith invites us to pay much closer attention to Jesus, the Son who is better than all and the source of our great salvation.

We often assume that being broken disqualifies us from love, purpose, or belonging, but Scripture tells a very different story. The Bible reveals a God who moves toward us in our weakness, naming our wounds without abandoning us and calling us beloved even when we feel most undone. True healing begins not with pretending we are whole but with trusting the one who meets us in our brokenness with grace. Listen to this sermon as Hansol Kang explores how God holds together our brokenness and belovedness, inviting us into honest faith and deeper restoration.

Christmas can easily become sentimental, commercial, or routine, but Scripture calls us to something far deeper. The Gospel of John reveals Jesus as the promised Savior who brings light to our minds, love to our hearts, and life to our whole being — confronting our darkness with truth and grace. This is not an invitation to admire a tradition but to receive a person who forgives, heals, and restores us completely. Listen to this Christmas Eve sermon as Jason Harris proclaims how Jesus, the promised Savior, offers real hope, unconditional love, and new life that begins now and lasts forever.

Our instinct is often to prove ourselves by doing something impressive for God, but Scripture reveals a God who interrupts our plans with a far greater promise of grace. In God’s covenant with David, we see that his kingdom is not built on human effort or merit but on divine initiative and unshakable love. That promise reaches its fulfillment in Jesus — the true King who rules not from a palace but from a cross. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris invites us to behold the promised King who brings us into his kingdom by grace and calls for our wholehearted allegiance.

Every human heart longs for a God who speaks — a voice beyond ourselves that can answer life’s deepest questions and guide us toward truth. Scripture promises that God would not leave His people in the dark but would raise up a prophet greater than Moses to reveal his will, stand in the gap, and bring lasting transformation. In Jesus, that promise is fulfilled: He does not merely speak God’s word; He is God’s Word, offering revelation, mediation, and new life to all who listen. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores how Jesus, the promised Prophet, speaks with authority, draws us near to God, and reshapes what it means to be truly human.

God’s call to Abraham reveals a radically new way of being human — one rooted not in self-made identity or manufactured greatness, but in God’s gracious initiative. In a world where our circumstances often leave us longing for a different kind of life, Scripture shows that God still breaks into our darkness with a promise that reshapes everything. At the center of that promise stands Jesus, the true Seed and true Home, through whom all the families of the earth are blessed. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unfolds how God’s ancient promise to Abraham finds its fulfillment in Christ and is offered to us today.

Humanity’s origin story in Genesis 3 reveals both the depth of our brokenness and the astonishing gentleness of a God who pursues us even in our shame. In the pain, resistance, and limitations we experience, Scripture offers not despair but a trail of grace leading us back to the One who covers, restores, and promises final victory. Advent invites us to face reality honestly while anchoring our hope in the redemption already begun and the consummation yet to come. Listen to this sermon as Dr. Jay Harvey unfolds the grace woven through creation, redemption, resistance, and the promised defeat of evil.

Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 12 reveal a surprising truth: the very weaknesses we wish would disappear may be the places where God is doing his deepest work. When we feel inadequate, overwhelmed, or worn thin, we may actually be closer to true spiritual strength than we realize. God’s grace meets us not after we overcome our struggles, but right in the midst of them. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unpacks how God’s power is made perfect in weakness.

Paul’s “fool’s speech” in 2 Corinthians 11 flips worldly values upside down, exposing leaders who boast in themselves and highlighting the power of weakness shaped by Christ. Paul’s scars — not his successes — reveal the heart of a true shepherd who suffers for the good of others. And ultimately, his example points to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who proves his love through his wounds. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how authentic Christian leadership is formed through humility, sacrifice, and the way of the cross.
