Matthew 6:19-24 with Nathan Caddell. In a world chasing happiness through comfort and consumption, could joy be found in something deeper? In this sermon from REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6 and the surprising truth that generosity—not self-gratification—is the path to a flourishing life.

What (or who) is shaping your heart—and are they worth serving?

Mark 3:31-35 with Nathan Caddell. We’re surrounded by people—but why do so many of us still feel alone? In this sermon from REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan explores how Jesus redefines family—not by blood, but through a community of people committed to love, sacrifice, and spiritual formation.

If your heart longs for something deeper than surface-level connection, this message offers hope—and a vision for the kind of family the church is called to be.

Romans 8:22-27 with Nathan Caddell. “Thoughts and prayers” often feel like a cop-out—but what if they’re actually a powerful way to love a hurting world? In this sermon from REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan explores Romans 8 and the true purpose of intercessory prayer—not as a retreat from pain, but as a courageous act of hope and healing in the face of suffering.

If you’ve ever wondered whether prayer really matters, this message will help you see it—and God—in a new way.

Matthew 7:15-20 with Nathan Caddell. How do you measure spiritual growth? Is it by what you know—or by how you love? In this kickoff to REUNION’s By Our Fruits series, Nathan shares a deeply personal story and explores Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 to remind us that true formation isn’t about knowledge or performance, but about becoming people of love.

Because in the end, we’ll be known—not by what we believe—but by the fruit our lives produce.

The death and resurrection of Jesus means true life for us today.  We needed healing from so many different things, and that healing comes through the sacrifice of Jesus.  Something perfect became imperfect so that something imperfect could become perfect.

The Triumphal Entry was something that would have been very common in Jesus' time.  The irony of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem is that it mirrored a common Roman practice also called a Triumphal Entry. 

We have a vision of freedom in our heads, that we can do whatever we want, but Jesus comes to offer a better kind of freedom.  Jesus subverts this Roman tradition, which would have offered a kind of freedom to specific people, and shows us that he is offering a different kind of freedom.  A spiritual freedom for all people.

Isaiah, in this passage, is speaking to a nation who has wandered from the path God had put them on.  Not only had they wandered, but they found themselves wandering down a road that was leading to their brokenness, to pain, to frustration, and to a life that they had longed to leave behind in Egypt.

Isaiah tells of someone who is going to come and suffer on behalf of his people, in order to bring them back onto the path they were originally called to.  Although there is a present truth in this promise, that God is going to redeem them and free them from their exile in Babylon, this was also a promise of one to come, who would free all of us from the exile that sin puts us into.  What Isaiah is promising the nation is what Jesus fulfilled on the cross.  A suffering servant, who gave his life on our behalf, to stop us from continuing to travel down a road of destruction, and to offer us a chance to come back to the path of life.

Humanity is hopeless in our pain and suffering, but Jesus became a suffering servant, which defeated sin, but also gives us hope in the midst of our pain and despair.

The Passover was a foreshadowing of what would happen on a spiritual scale through the death of Jesus.  Punishment was coming on those who would not submit to God and trust in his way and offer of life.  But there was hope to be rescued and redeemed from this punishment and destruction.

A lamb could be killed, and its blood spread over the doorposts of a house.  Blood could cover a family and forgiveness and grace would be offered to them, if they trusted in God’s invitation and followed his commandments.

This lamb was really just a foretaste of the ultimate lamb, whose blood would one day be shed to cover all of humanity.  Jesus is the great passover lamb, and God’s grace and mercy is offered to us when we cover the doorposts of our lives with his blood.

Humanity is deserving of death and punishment… our sins should lead to our destruction as well, but Jesus shed his blood to offer us life instead.

Jude with Matt Chin. Is faith something we’re meant to figure out on our own? In this message on the book of Jude, we explore how our culture’s obsession with independence can lead us into isolation—and how Jude calls us back to a different way: one rooted in community, mercy, and shared faithfulness.

Because in a world where doubt is rising and connection feels harder than ever, we don’t need to go it alone. We need each other to build, to contend, and to grow into the people God is forming us to be.

Jude with Nathan Caddell. In a world flooded with voices, how do we know who’s worth following? In this message on the book of Jude, Nathan explores how our lives are shaped—often subtly—by the content we consume and the people we trust. Jude’s ancient letter sounds a timely warning: not all influence leads to life.

If we become like the ones we follow, then following Jesus means choosing the harder, better way—a way marked by trust, surrender, and life to the full.
