  • New Year, Same God | Scott Byrd
    Launch Sermon Player

    Scripture Reference: Joshua 21:43-45

    Anticipating the unknowns of 2026 can be exciting and anxiety inducing. We can be confident that the same God who promised and delivered the land to His people has made promises to us and He is faithful to keep them.

    Sermon Points:

    • God Makes Promises
    • God’s Promises Seem Dim
    • God Is Faithful to His Promises
      • 28 min
    • When Goodness & Lovingkindness Appeared | Brian Sorgenfrei
      Launch Sermon Player

      Scripture Reference: Titus 3:3-8

      Paul ends his letter to his co-worker Titus by appealing to the appearing of “our Savior.” In a world that is full of quarreling, envy and hatred, the goodness of God appeared as a baby in order to bring about salvation and transform His people into those that do good works.

    • Jesus Is Enough: Stand Firm | Brian Sorgenfrei
      Launch Sermon Player

      Scripture Reference: Ephesians 6:10-24

      Paul ends his letter by reminding his audience that they are in a fight. But it’s a fight not against not flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. Paul has already reminded the Ephesians that Christ is seated in the heavenly places above all rule and authority and power and dominion (1:20-21), and now Paul shows us how the work of Christ enables the church to stand against the devil who always wants darkness, death, and division.

      Sermon Points:

      • The Backdrop of the Appearing (v. 3)
      • The Appearing (v. 4)
      • The Results of the Appearing (vv. 5-8)
        • 28 min
      • The Gospel & My Job | Les Newsom
        Launch Sermon Player

        Scripture Reference: Ephesians 6:5-9

        The Ancient Greeks told the story of Pandora’s Box and how “hard labor” escaped when she opened it. Mankind has always struggled with a negative view of work. No surprise that Paul takes up this topic in Ephesians 5 and gives some of life changing insight into how Christians are to view their jobs.

        Sermon Points:

        • The Context of Paul’s Teaching
        • The Content of Paul’s Teaching
        • The Confidence in Paul’s Teaching
          • 27 min
        • It’s a Family Affair | Les Newsom
          Launch Sermon Player

          Scripture Reference: Ephesians 6:1-4

          You can’t sequester your beliefs when you enter the public sphere to make decisions as a Christian. But we need to start “local” by looking into what the Gospel says about our most fundamental relationships, that between parents and children. Paul has wisdom to spare in these (oddly) short verses.

          Sermon Points:

          • The Simplicity of the Commands
          • The Wisdom in the Commands
          • The Motivation in the Commands
            • 30 min
          • Marriage & Mystery | Les Newsom
            Launch Sermon Player

            Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:22-33

            Christians have lived through their fair share of mania regarding cultural discussions around the topic of gender roles. But have we always lived up to Paul’s ideal he sets forth in Ephesians 5? Probably not. When we see God’s complementary design for men and women, our marriages can flourish again.

            Sermon Points:

            • The Role of the Church: Wives
            • The Role of the Head of the Church: Husbands
            • The Big Finale: Profound Union
              • 32 min
            • Marriage & Mission | Les Newsom
              Launch Sermon Player

              Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:22-33

              Marriage can be so hard. Paul turns to the topic of marriage as the culmination of a letter dedicated to the idea that God was repairing the world by uniting all things in Christ. Our marriages are intended to be pictures of that union. When we use marriage for what it was intended, we experience flourishing.

              Sermon Points:

              • Marriage is a picture of God’s Grand Plan
              • Marriage is an antidote for human selfishness
              • Marriage is a sign of how Jesus heals us

              • Walk in Love with Money, Sex, Alcohol & the Spirit | Brian Sorgenfrei
                Launch Sermon Player

                Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:1-20

                Paul continues to focus on the new life the Lord brings by the Spirit dwelling in His people. The new life is marked by love, which practically changes our relationship with money, sex, and alcohol. The Scriptures press in on these issues, not to shame us, but to bring them to light for healing and transformation.

                Sermon Points:

                • Walking Opposed to Love in Darkness (vv. 3-8)
                • Walking in Love as Light (vv. 8-20)
                  • 31 min
