If It Had Not Been For The Lord On My Side... | Though Jacob now has both the blessing and a supernatural appearance from God, things don't get any easier for him. Straight from all those promises, Jacob must toil for over 20 years full of deception, heartbreak, and family conflict. But by the end of the ordeal, Jacob has the perspective to see that God has been with him and kept him all along. Just because you don't see God at work in the toil and labor of your current situation, doesn't mean He isn't still working out His plan for your life! | 1/28/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Jacob's Dream | Soon after getting everything he ever wanted, Jacob's life hardly looks "blessed." He's on the run from his brother. He's not looking for God. He's a man in transition, a man in an unknown, in-between place. And yet the unnamed place of transition becomes a place of revelation--a place where heaven meets earth. As it was for Jacob, God has a dream for you when you feel lost and on the run. Could it be that in the place where you're trying to run away from is exactly the place God wants to meet with you? | 1/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Christmas Past | From the beautiful messianic texts of Isaiah comes a message about the long delay between promise and fulfillment. Sometimes people believe a word from a God--even though they go to their grave without seeing the promise realized. In the long anticipation of advent, it's not always easy to hold onto hope. Thankfully in the long season in-between, there is room for hopeful doubters who are willing to doubt in the direction of Jesus rather than away from Him. | 12/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Broken Lamps | According to Paul, God's plan all along was to invest His sacred light into cheap, flimsy, cracked lamps. The more cracked the vessel is, the more light gets through. Thus the things that make us most broken might be the things that most qualify us to be used by God, not what disqualifies us. | 12/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ask | God can't take his eyes off of you. And He can't wait to hear your requests. More than anything, the Father's heart is aches for you to spend time with Him--and for you to allow Him to bless and care for you the way He has always desired to. When you come to understand the fullness of His love, you can understand how it is that you can ask him anything with boldness, and believe that He is going to respond! | 11/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Greater Than Our Hearts | If our own hearts condemn us, what hope do we have? Most of us are our own worst critics because we are more intimately acquainted with our sins, struggles and temptations than anybody else. And yet John offers this incredible word to us: even when our own hearts condemn us...God is greater than our hearts! From a story about our pastor mooning the bus on the 6th grade to the elegant text of Romans 8, this is a unique call to appeal to the judgment of the one who knows the whole story--but still loves us anyway. | 11/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Love One Another | These are the stories of Renvoatus. From a male prostitute God saved when we were at Eastland Mall to the rescue of an older sister from domestic violence, the last five years has been a remarkable journey of compassion. This message recaptures the story so far as well as where we see God taking us in the days ahead. | 11/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

What We Are | The foundation of everything in the Christian life, especially righteous living, is knowing your identity in Christ. Which is why John thunders home repeatedly the truth that we are not only called children of God, we ARE children of God. God sees things in you as His child you can't see in yourself--and that is very good news. Because He sees the beauty of the work He's established in you, and it's a work He has already promised to complete! | 10/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Anointing | You don't just need the textbook; you need the teacher. You don't just need love, you need discernment. In john's language, what we need is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is the same anointing that was on Jesus as "The Christ" or the "anointed one," and will enable you to hear God's voice just like Jesus did | 10/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Love Not The World | Is the our life and the choices we make really as complicated and busy as we say they are? 1John 2 lays it out really simply for us. We either love God, and lend all of our affections in his direction, or we love anything else. What does that look like? Why is it so easy to be swept out to sea by all the small, and semingly insignificant decisions we make every day? | 10/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Walking In The Light | What it would like to have an entire community devoted to confessing their sins one to another? Instead of pretending to be sinless and thus making Christ Himself out to be a liar, what if we walked in full exposure--telling the truth about ourselves so we can tell the truth about God? In I John, cleansing from and fellowship with God always comes down to the depth of our fellowship with each other. We will either go to hell as individuals, or go to heaven as a people. | 10/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Antichrist | The Johannine epistles are the only books in the New Testament to use the word "antichrist." And its not what you think. They weren't looking for some enigmatic world leader to appear on the scene--they had many antichrists in their community. They were people who were denying the reality of incarnation--the reality of the Word made flesh. They were looking for something "beyond," something "deeper"...something more spiritual. But as it turns out, there is nothing deeper than the love of God lived out in genuine community. | 10/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

I Am Diotrephes | 3 John, the shortest book in the New Testament, gives us an intriguing look into an early church conflict between John the Elder and a man named Diotrephes, who is said to have "liked to put himself first." It's easy to dismiss Diotrephes...until we begin to assess honestly his traits that we share with him. The truth is, this is clearly an insecure man who is not yet at home in the love of the Father--so he's still looking to the community for affirmation only God can give--a description that is apt for many of us. | 9/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

A New Way To Be Human | So many people still understand the gospel as being about the forgiveness of sins--but it is about so much more. Jesus died and rose again so the image of God could be restored in you, a new covenant could be inscribed on your heart--that you could come to share in the life of God Himself. What if Jesus actually offers a way to transcend the bondage of both legalism and sin, even a whole new way of being human? | 9/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

23 |
The Undignified God | There is protocol, a certain kind of decorum, that is expected when you are meeting a dignitary. That's why its so surprising that from the life of Hosea to the teaching of Jesus in Luke 15, Scripture is full of images of an undignified God. When it comes to seeking after lost sons and daughters, protocol is out the window. This isn't a God waiting to be pursued, this is a God on the chase. He doesn't hide his emotions behind his throne, but rather openly displays his hurt, his anger, but most of all His unflinching love. | 9/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Good Gifts | We've seen charlatans, con-artists and parlor tricks when it comes to so-called faith healing. Through all the clutter and chaos, the simplicity and beauty of the Father's heart to heal has gotten lost. But healing is one of the Father's good gifts, and He's eager to give it. You don't have to have be super spiritual, have a merit badge, or even be a Christian in order to receive divine healing--just be willing to receive! | 9/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Living Sacrifices | When Paul tell us we are to present our bodies as living sacrifices, he has the rich and bloody history of the Old Testament sacrificial system in mind. That means it matters both how and what is presented on God's altar--it has to be a whole sacrifice, cut open and carefully arranged. That's the only kind of sacrifice God can consume. God is still looking for bloody, messy, whole self sacrifices, so He can set you on fire to serve the Church and the world. | 8/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Changing the Script | What if life with God is more like an old G.I.Joe "Find your Fate" book than it is a script? How open-ended are our lives really? Is it possible to alter the future, re-shape destinies, or even change the script? That's the kind of account we get in Exodus 32, and the kind of power we are given in Acts 2. The power of the Holy Spirit is power to alter the scripts that people around us have passively accepted and create new possibilities. | 8/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
