In this episode, we unpack the story of Esau, the parable of the sower, and the encounter between Mary and Martha — three powerful moments that highlight a hard truth: we often trade what God has for us in exchange for what simply feels good in the moment.

Through scripture and honest reflection, we dive into:

🍲 Why "the soup’s not that good" — and what it represents in our lives
📱 How distractions (worry, wealth, pleasure) are robbing us of spiritual maturity
🪑 What it truly means to sit at the table with Jesus — and how to choose what is better

Whether you're driving, walking, or grabbing lunch, this episode challenges you to slow down and ask: What am I trading away... and is it worth it?

Weekly Practice:
Each time you eat this week, pause and pray:
"Jesus, would You join me for this meal? Make this time about You."
Then, be present. You might be surprised by what changes.

In this Sermon, we journey into Luke 7:36–50, where Jesus accepts an invitation to dine at the home of Simon the Pharisee. What begins as a formal banquet becomes a deeply personal encounter involving three unforgettable characters: Simon, a skeptical religious leader; a woman with a broken past and a heart full of love; and Jesus, who sees through both their facades and fears.

Join us as we unpack the cultural context of ancient banquets, the power of hospitality, and the radical grace Jesus offers to those society often overlooks. This isn't just a story about a meal—it's a moment that lays bare our motives, our judgments, and our need for mercy.

💭 Who are you at the table—Simon, the woman, or someone standing silently on the sidelines?

📌 Challenge: Use one meal this week to focus more on building relationships than simply eating. Let love lead.

In this sermon of our summer series, we dive into one of Jesus’ most unexpected dinner parties — the banquet at Levi’s house. More than a meal, this gathering becomes a powerful moment of transformation, grace, and inclusion. We'll explore how Jesus used food not just to satisfy hunger but to build relationships and redefine community.

Join us as we unpack Luke 5:27-31 and reflect on a key question: How can I use one meal this week to be more about a relationship than about eating? Whether it's around your kitchen table, a park bench, or a movie night with popcorn, discover how ordinary moments can become sacred opportunities to connect people with the One who truly satisfies.

In this episode, we dive into what it means to stay faithful and grow through the monotony of everyday life—when the routines feel repetitive and the results seem slow.

This one’s for anyone who feels like they’re stuck in the loop—but still wants to live with intention, hope, and a little creativity.

In this episode, we board one of the most important—and sometimes uncomfortable—ships in our discipleship journey: stewardship.

We explore what it truly means to be stewards, not owners, of what God has given us. Through Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians and Peter’s call to faithful living, we’re reminded that stewardship is about more than just finances. It’s about managing our time, resources, and priorities with an eternal perspective.

We break down four key principles of stewardship, challenge the idea that money is the goal, and highlight how generosity isn't just for the wealthy—it’s for everyone who wants to live like Jesus.

Tune in for a conversation that reframes giving from guilt-driven to grace-filled—and discover how this often-overlooked “ship” is vital for both personal growth and the mission of the church.

Want to know what real discipleship looks like? It’s not a class or a checklist—it’s a radical, daily journey of denying yourself, carrying your cross, and following Jesus in deep, authentic community. If you're ready to move beyond information and into transformation, this message is for you.
