Podcast Description
Core Community seeks to be a holistic, missional community to urban Omaha. We are a part of the Christian community in our city and sense a calling to our city's urban neighborhoods. Our vision is to develop a network of reproducing Christian communities. Core meets as a celebratory community on Sunday mornings. We seek to creatively retell the story of God through sacrament, song, and spoken word, rooted in divine revelation. Our gathering aspires to be God-centered, truth-driven, historical, participatory, and artistic. This podcast is the teaching portion from our Sunday worship.

| 1 | VideoPresent Grief and Future Hope | On our final Sunday gathered as Core Community Church, we hear from Bob Thune, the lead pastor of Coram Deo. Bob walks us through the account of the rebuilding of the Temple in Israel. In the story, there is grief, which is acknowledged, but there is also hope that the latter glory will surpass the [...] | 9/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | VideoCORE 11TH ANNIVERSARY | This Sunday we took a look back at the past 11 years of Core. The lives that were changed, the hearts that were impacted. We celebrated all God has done through Core. Take a listen as these 7 people share their life change. | 9/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 3 | VideoJOINING THE TRIBES | As we prepare for our merger with Coram Deo, we turn to the story of Nehemiah leading the tribes of Israel in the rebuilding of the walls around Jerusalem. Everyone had a part. Everyone served. Everyone gave. Hear the wisdom of God’s Word, as you prepare to serve next to someone else. | 9/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 4 | VideoMerger Announcement | The historic announcement that Core Community Church will be merging with Coram Deo Church Community on September 25, 2011. Listen in for the story, how God has orchestrated and confirmed this merger for His glory, and what this means for everyone connected to Core. To God be the glory! | 8/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 5 | VideoBuilding Walls | As we begin a historic series of messages for our church, we turn to God’s word in Nehemiah. When Nehemiah received word about the state of Jerusalem, his response was one of grieving, action, and prayer. He first responded by spending time with God in prayer, and he emerged with a plan for action. We [...] | 8/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 6 | VideoThe Cause of Christ in Missional Communities | As we finish up our study of Philemon, we see that Paul’s goal wasn’t merely to mediate conflict between two men. He was pursuing something even more – the cause of Christ in missional communities. What is this cause? Can we put any confidence in this cause of Christ actually taking [...] | 8/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 7 | VideoConflict In Missional Communites | When sinners get converted to Christ and come together in communities, one thing is sure to happen: conflict. That’s what happened with Philemon and his missional community. The question is how will we handle conflict? Attack it? Avoid it? Is there another way? | 8/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 8 | VideoConversion in Missional Communities | As we look at Paul’s letter to Philemon we begin by considering what it was that brought the letter about. Conversion! The main characters in the letter were converted to Christ. What does it mean for you to be converted to Christ? | 7/31/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 9 | VideoGospel Rhythms: Bless and Rest | God is on a divine mission to re-create culture. And he is using us in the mission. As we look at what it means to bless others with the gospel, we discover that our work, our relationships, our connections throughout the city are meant to be a part of re-creating the culture of our city. | 7/24/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 10 | VideoGospel Rhythms: Eat and Celebrate | How did Jesus strategically and intentionally choose to share the gospel? Most often, it was with food, over a meal, or closely connected to eating. As we turn to the gospel rhythms of a family, we find that Jesus’ strategies of eating and celebrating become our natural rhythms, as well. | 7/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 11 | VideoGospel Rhythms: Listen and Share | The gospel makes us disciples. That is who we are. But what does that look like? What do we do as disciples? We listen and share. Though it isn’t novel, it might be revolutionary. | 7/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 12 | VideoGospel Identity: Missionaries | Are missionaries those socially awkward people that go overseas because they can’t quite get along here? Are they the people who show up at your door in black pants, white shirts, and name tags. If it is true that the gospel makes us missionaries, then this is getting really interesting really fast. So what is [...] | 7/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 13 | VideoGospel Identity: Family | As we continue in our Gospel DNA series this summer, we are beginning to look at ‘identities’ given to us as Christians who have received Christ. One of these key identities is that of family and as we will see it is essential for learning how to participate in the movement of the Gospel, both [...] | 6/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 14 | VideoGospel Identity: Disciples | As we continue a study through the fundamentals of who we are as Christians, our lead pastor Ethan Burmeister helps us think about who we are, and it’s direct affect on what we do. | 6/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 15 | VideoGospel DNA | Taking a look at our DNA, we realize the gospel has three essential expressions in our lives and communities: gospel message, gospel community, and gospel mission. Miss any one of these, and you get deformed. | 6/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 16 | VideoRepentence | Core seeks to be a gospel-centered church. But it isn’t our doctrine statement, our talk, our website, or our large gatherings that make us gospel-centered. It is our people – who we are and what we do in every part of life. And being gospel-centred always begins with repentance. That is where we start in [...] | 6/5/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 17 | VideoMission & Commission | On this historic and special Sunday for Core, we sent Sacred City Church to plant a gospel-centered, missional church in Davenport, Iowa. Listen in as we highlight the work of the gospel through history right up to today. | 5/29/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 18 | VideoThe Mission Of God | Church planting isn’t what paid professional do. It is what Christians do. And the way we get involved is by understanding ourselves as missionaries in our everyday lives. Our gut reaction might be guilt, but, as Justin Dean points out, God’s ways are always grace. | 5/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 19 | VideoA Flow of History | Throughout history, God has been calling his people in to His mission. Going all the way back to Abraham in Genesis 12, Lead Pastor Ethan Burmeister invites us to join in the movement of God’s mission. How did the gospel get to you? Will you be a part of the gospel going forward? | 5/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 20 | VideoThe Fish | In the closing chapter of John’s gospel, Jesus appears in the strangest of ways: over a breakfast. His disciples have gone back to their old normal, but when Jesus shows up, everything changes again. They are now sent. They are now loved. They are now forever changed. With Jesus, the end is only the beginning. | 5/8/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 21 | VideoThe New Normal | Oddly enough, it might be easier to believe that Jesus Christ historically and truly rose from the dead. What is more difficult is to believe that our lives can be resurrected. This is exactly what Jesus’ disciples wrestled with. What about you? Might your life be resurrected? | 5/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 22 | VideoThe Resurrection | Jesus is alive! So the confident followers of Jesus might say. But for Thomas, one of Jesus’ closest friends, he wasn’t in the room when the resurrected Jesus came by. So he had to wait eight long days to see if it were true. So, is it true? He is risen, indeed. | 4/24/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 23 | VideoThe Death | The death of Jesus came about through a slow, painful crucifixion. And yet it was also the culminating of thousands of years of Bible predictions. And it changed the future course of all of history. Listen and discover how Jesus’ death, King David’s ancient predictions, and our hope in life today collide. | 4/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 24 | VideoCrucifixion | Crucifixion was an agonizing, excruciating method of execution perfected by the Romans. It was this death that Jesus died. Against the backdrop of Jesus’ crucifixion, we encounter three scenes. What do these three responses to the crucifixion mean? Which one are we? | 4/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 25 | VideoInjustice | All of us live in a world filled with injustice. And all of us are drawn to a sense of justice. In this story, we encounter Jesus as he faces injustice in a most surprising way. He is the judge who takes on injustice. He is the substitute suffering for our sake. Justice gets redefines [...] | 4/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 26 | VideoThe King | As the time of Jesus’ death draws near in the story, we now find Jesus being questioned by authorities. In a time where many might reveal their might and power, this King reveals himself by suffering and letting the guilty go free. This King is a substitute, a servant like none [...] | 3/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 27 | VideoThe Arrest | We see the reversal of the garden of Eden in the garden of Gesthemane. What does the garden, the sword and the cup tell us of God’s presence, wrath and grace? | 3/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 28 | VideoThe Prayer | It’s the most lengthy recorded prayer of Jesus in the Bible. What does Jesus pray about when he is about to face his most difficult days? What does Jesus care about so much in this moment? What is on his prayer list? Tune in and discover. | 3/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 29 | VideoThe Spirit | Jesus tells his close friends that it is good for him to leave them to go to heaven. He is going to send an Advocate to them. Someone who will comfort them. Someone who will lead them. Someone who will make Jesus’ words real and true in the lives. Someone who will remind them all [...] | 3/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 30 | VideoThe Vine | You can change. Your life can change. Those are big promises, but in John 15 Jesus tells us that they are possible. To help us understand how we change, Jesus turns to the image of a vine and branches, a gardener who prunes and cuts, and the fruit of real life change. | 2/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 31 | VideoThe Way | As Jesus continues his last conversation with his disciples, he gives them words of hope. He knows their world is about to come crashing down…but they don’t see it coming. So he tells them he is going to prepare a place for them. And if he goes, he will come get them. He alone is [...] | 2/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 32 | VideoWashing Feet | In a tension-filled account of Jesus washing his disciple’s dirty feet, we discover a lot. Where is God? He is kneeling to wash our dirtiness. Who is he washing? Even the one who would betray him. How terrible was Judas? Careful how you answer that one. | 2/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 33 | VideoResurrected Lives and Radical Generosity | After the resurrection of Lazarus, the community responded in starkly different ways. Some tried to shut Jesus down because he had gone too far. Others looked to spend time with him and pour out even their financial treasures for him. How does this happen? | 2/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 34 | VideoACTS 29 QUARTERLY – OMAHA, NEBRASKA | How does a church planter help people form missional convictions? How does he keep Jesus and His gospel central in this? To tackle these questions, we brought in in our friend Jonathan Dodson, pastor of Austin City Life in Austin, Texas. Jonathan was educated at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary – so he knows his doctrine. He [...] | 2/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 35 | VideoLazarus | Suffering and death are a part of all of our stories. In this narrative, Jesus reveals his love for his friends – a love that is stronger than death. Even more surprising, Jesus doesn’t only raise someone from the dead, but He actually claims to be the resurrection. What might that [...] | 1/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 36 | VideoGood Shepherd | In John 10, Jesus identifies himself as a shepherd, and he calls us his sheep. By calling us sheep, he isn’t giving us a compliment, but he is identifying our weakness. How can we find freedom in our weakness as sheep who are loved by the Good Shepherd? | 1/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 37 | VideoMan Born Blind | All of life must be put into perspective; the Gospel of Jesus is the lens that does this for us. Join us as we examine the story of Jesus healing a man who was blind from the birth and then consider how the first step toward ‘seeing’ is being honest about our own blindness. | 1/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 38 | VideoThe Woman in Adultery | Do you want change, or just forgiveness? In this story about a women caught in adultery, Jesus shows that self-righteousness is no righteousness at all and his grace extends to all who repent. Pastor Ethan Burmeister teaches on healthy and unhealthy ways we depend upon the grace of God. | 1/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 39 | VideoIntermission | Jeff Dart, a pastor with Brookside Church in Omaha, teaches on the church that had lost her original passion for Jesus Christ. Just like this church, Core can drift into doing good things and coasting along without a first love for Jesus. What is that first love like? What might it [...] | 1/5/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 40 | VideoWater and Light | Jesus makes two startling statements during his time in Jerusalem, at the Feast of Booths: He is the Water of Life. He is the Light of the world. What do these two statements tell us about who he is and what he came to do? | 12/26/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 41 | VideoBread of Life | Jesus doesn’t just give bread. He is the bread of life. He is the full feast of the finest foods. He hasn’t come to give a meager life that is marked by just getting by. He has come to be the full life. | 12/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 42 | VideoJesus and the Storm | The water is crashing over on the boat. The waves are getting stronger and higher by the moment. The storms of life are brutally painful. So why are they there? What are they doing? This story of Jesus walking on the crashing waves of a storm reveal something about the storms in our life and [...] | 12/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 43 | VideoFish and Loaves | The story of Jesus feeding thousands from a poor boy’s lunch is all about God’s power. His power isn’t just brute force over and against creation. This story tells us that God’s power is towards us and for us in Jesus. His power has come to us in Jesus. But if we want to experience [...] | 12/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 44 | VideoSabbath Healing | Jesus continues to teach and demonstrate the new power and way of his coming Kingdom in John 5. With his healing on the Sabbath Jesus begins to dismantle the religious culture of the day and forces the question of whether or not we really want what he is offering; healing. | 12/2/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 45 | VideoThe Love of a Father | This is the story of a government leader who happens to be a dad. His son is dying, so he sets out for a two-day journey to find Jesus. What happens when this dad meets Jesus? And what can we learn today? | 11/23/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 46 | VideoActs 29 Quarterly – Omaha, Nebraska | “Missional church” is the new buzzword in church-planting circles. But what does it actually mean? Is the “missional” revolution just a passing fad, a new Christian cliché? As we coach and interact with church planters, we’re concerned about whether they’re defining “missional” correctly and biblically. So this quarterly attempts to both deconstruct and reconstruct what [...] | 11/17/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 47 | VideoThe Woman At The Well | In this intriguing story, Jesus crosses relational, gender, cultural, and sociological boundaries, blowing the rules out of the water, to connect with a woman. He didn’t wait for her to figure it out and go to the right place. Her response to Jesus changed a whole city. | 11/17/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bronze Serpent | Jesus refers back to an interesting story among God’s people. Just like the prophet Moses lifted up a snake on a pole in the desert, so Jesus must be lifted up for all of us. How might such a strange story and strange image point us to Jesus? What does this mean? | 11/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 49 | VideoBorn Again | Born Again is a concept that has been understood in many different ways in our culture – politically, socially, personally, and more. So what does Jesus – the one who originally spoke the words – say about being born again? In this sermon, we listen in on a conversation between Jesus and a religious leader [...] | 11/2/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 50 | VideoWine | In Jesus’ ministry, the very first miracle He performed was turning water into wine at a wedding feast. Pastor Ethan Burmiester describes how this miracle points to the wedding feast of Jesus and His church, which is His bride. | 10/17/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Gospel Mission | As we trek through the gospel of John, the question of “How did I become a follower of Christ?” arises. Pastor Ethan Burmeister speaks on how Nathanael came to Christ through systems of relationships, through spheres of influence, and how that applies to how we came to Christ, as well as the mission of spreading [...] | 10/10/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 52 | VideoAdvent | In the prologue to John’s gospel, we are introduced to the grandest of concepts, the central and defining Principle that holds the universe together. And, yet, we are astounded when this Word becomes human, scandalizing all of us and blowing up all of our preconceptions. | 9/26/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 53 | VideoMessage and Meaning of John | We launch into a 40-week journey through the Gospel of John with a drink from the fire hose. As we consider the scope of John’s writing, we find it to be overwhelmingly transcendent. John points us to Jesus in a multitude of ways. | 9/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 56 | VideoThe Man and the Mission | Men are created in the image of God. That sounds great, but what does it mean? For many of us, we are deeply shaped by the image of our earthly father, or our desire to be the opposite of him. What does Jesus and his manhood about the image of God? | 9/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 57 | VideoThe Tabernacle | Throughout history cultures have been marked by temples – places of transcendence where the divine meets the mundane. This week we consider God’s instructions to Moses about building a tabernacle where His presence might dwell. How do such instructions go beyond details and point us to Christ? The answer might surprise you. | 8/29/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 58 | VideoGlory | God promises Moses nearly everything – military success, economic success, social success. Might, money, and prosperity. But when Moses hears that God is not going with them, he refuses it all. Moses’ cry is for God – his presence and his person. May we join Moses in demanding the presence of God. | 8/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Acts 29 Quarterly-Omaha, Nebraska | Pastor Bob Thune of Coram Deo Church talks about gospel formation in the church. God’s people are being formed by something. Is it the gospel or something else? | 8/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 60 | VideoWater from the Rock | [Exodus 17:1-7] The Israelites are wandering through the desert, desiring water to quench their thirst. God instructs Moses to strike a rock with his staff for water to burst forth. This gave the Israelites new strength, in preparation for the battle to come. | 8/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 61 | VideoTESTS IN THE DESERT | For 40 years in the desert God gave the Israelites manna. But their desires and appetites raged well beyond this faithful gift from God. We, too, toss out contentment with our current situation and choose to always want more and need more. | 7/25/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 62 | VideoPassover | [Exodus 12:1-13] The passover gets personal. It is just what God did for some people. It is what God has done for you and me. In fact, this isn’t just a story; it is the narrative that shapes history, lives, and hearts today. Enter in to the story. | 7/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 63 | VideoFrom Bad to Worse for Best | [Exodus 5] Just when it looked like God was showing up for the Hebrews, things got worse. The same thing happens in our lives, too.
