This week Pastor Perry, Ryan, Chaston, and Tray start with a lighthearted conversation about their biggest fears from snakes to elevators, caves, and even climbing roofs before diving into Exodus 12:23–41 to explore how God’s promises give us security in fearful times.
Together, they discuss what it means to truly trust that God holds the future, even when life feels uncertain or out of control. Through honest personal stories, laughter, and Scripture, they reveal how fear often comes from the unknown, but faith reminds us that the same God who sustained us before will sustain us again.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that when the bottom falls out, God’s still holding you and that our greatest security comes not from what we control, but from the One who conquered fear itself.
In this week's episode Tray, Perry, Ryan, and our new Worship Pastor Chaston Miller kick things off debating an age-old question: Is a hot dog a sandwich?
But what starts with laughs quickly turns to something deeper, a conversation on breaking bread, communion, and what it really means to remember what God has done.
From Exodus 12 and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the team unpacks how God calls us to remove the “leaven” from our lives, prepare our hearts for worship, and never let routine replace relationship.
Whether you’re listening on your lunch break or on the way to midweek service, this episode will help you refocus your heart on worship, gratitude, and living a life that remembers.
In this sermon, Pastor Perry explores the Feast of Unleavened Bread and shows how Jesus transformed it into what we know as Communion.
Unleavened bread was a memorial of Israel’s freedom from Egypt made without yeast because they had to leave in a hurry. Jesus then redefined that bread as His body, broken for our freedom from sin.
The sermon revolves around two powerful questions:
I. Will you recall what He’s done?
II. How will you respond?
With vivid illustrations from communion on the moon to the “Rover’s leftovers” story this message shows that breaking bread is more than eating. It’s remembering, repenting, and realigning our lives with Christ.
Breaking Bread is not just a moment at the table. It’s a lifestyle of living in the freedom Jesus paid for.
What does a lamb have to do with freedom, forgiveness, and a brand-new start?
In this week’s episode of Behind the Sermon, Tray, Perry, and Ryan take a closer look at Exodus 12 and unpack the meaning behind “Why We All Need a Passover Lamb.” From ancient Egypt’s afterlife beliefs to the powerful symbolism of the lamb’s blood over the doorpost, the team connects every detail back to Jesus our ultimate Passover Lamb.
They talk about new beginnings, spiritual resets, and what it really means to be adopted into God’s family. Plus, things kick off with a hilarious debate about fighting 100 mouse-sized lions or one lion-sized mouse because every deep conversation deserves a good laugh first.
If you’ve ever needed a reminder that God offers new life, real freedom, and lasting security, this episode will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith.
In this week’s message from Exodus 12, Perry unpacks the meaning behind the Passover Lamb and how it points directly to Jesus our perfect, unblemished sacrifice. Through the powerful image of the lamb’s blood covering the doorposts, we’re reminded that true security, salvation, and a brand-new start come only through Christ.
Discover how the timing of the first Passover connects to the cross, why God’s plan of redemption has always been about the Lamb, and how His protection still covers His people today.
If Jesus is your Passover Lamb, you can be certain of heaven, assured of a new beginning, and confident that God will fight for you.
What does salvation really save us from?
In this episode, Perry, Ryan, and Tray take us from lighthearted stories of childhood fears to the weighty truths of Exodus 10. Together, they unpack God’s judgment, the reality of darkness, and the stubborn love of God that refuses to let us go.
Whether you’re navigating a dark season or just need a reminder of the hope we have in Christ, this conversation will point you back to the light that never fades.
In this message, Pastor Perry unpacks one of the most sobering questions of faith: What does salvation actually save us from?
Walking through the ninth and tenth plagues in Exodus, Perry shows us that salvation is more than a future hope it’s a present rescue:
At the center of it all is God’s stubborn love a love that would rather die than live without us.
