Learning From Strangers

In a culture that makes it easier than ever to avoid real human interaction, followers of Jesus are called to live differently. In this message, Pastor Brad challenges us to resist isolation, practice intentional hospitality, and rediscover the sacredness of everyday encounters. Drawing from Hebrews 13 and the story of Jesus with the stranger on the road to Emmaus, we learn how God often shows up through unexpected people and unplanned moments. This sermon invites us to see the image of God in everyone we meet and to create “holy friction” by engaging with the world rather than hiding from it.

Jesus calls us to love our enemies—not by mustering willpower, but by becoming channels of His grace. Pastor Brad unpacks Luke 6, Matthew 5, and Romans 12 to show how releasing bitterness, setting wise boundaries, and practicing “applied theology” forms a tested, owned faith. Move from resentment to freedom by trusting God’s character and extending the mercy you’ve received.

What happens when we start to believe the world revolves around us? In this message, Pastor Lane unpacks how “main character syndrome” and “presentism” can leave our faith shallow and disconnected from the bigger story of God. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and the lives of church fathers like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Wesley, we’re reminded that a faith rooted in the past is what allows us to thrive in the future.

Learning to Learn

We live in an age of endless information but shrinking wisdom. In this new series, Learning: To Follow, we’re exploring what it means to pursue God with our minds — cultivating a teachable spirit that’s humble, curious, and ready to grow.

Drawing from A.J. Swoboda’s A Teachable Spirit, Pastor Brad invites us to rediscover Jesus’ call to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” Together, we’ll learn what it means to let truth shape us — not just to learn more, but to be transformed more into the likeness of Christ.

Over these weeks, we’ll explore how to learn from culture, from the saints who came before us, from strangers, even from our enemies — all while asking: Are we learning to follow Jesus better?

Learning to Discern

In this message from the Learn to Follow series, Pastor Brad teaches on what it means to learn to discern in a world full of competing voices and opinions. Drawing from the story of Daniel, we explore how humility, wisdom, and a teachable spirit help us follow Jesus faithfully in complex times. Through Daniel’s example, we learn how to live in the world but not of it, making decisions rooted in prayer, unity, and grace. This sermon challenges us to move from reactionary living to Spirit-led discernment—seeking God’s wisdom rather than the crowd’s noise.

In this message, Pastor Brad sits down with Jimmy Darts, a viral storyteller and modern-day Good Samaritan, to explore what it means to love with actions and truth.

The Deceitfulness of Wealth

In a world that tells us “more is better,” Jesus offers a radically different way. In this message, Pastor Brad unpacks the deceitfulness of wealth and how greed quietly shapes our hearts. Discover how true freedom and peace come not from accumulation, but from contentment and open-handed living—trusting that everything we have belongs to God.

Abide in Christ

So often we live in a performative way, striving for approval, measuring our worth by what we do. But Jesus calls us to something better—abiding in Him. When we are filled with God’s Spirit, we live with peace, joy, and freedom, not exhaustion. This message explores what it means to stop saying “Look at me” and start living with the freedom of “Look at You.”
