Who Gets Whom? - Part 2 (Rudy Kantu) — Sunday Sermon, September 24, 2023 (44:54) Sunday Sermon by Guest Speaker Rudy Kantu — Divisiveness in the church (as, for example, in lawsuits against each other, such as were happening in the church in Corinth) shames the church and makes it difficult to share the message of the gospel. Christians need to mature in Christ so that we can share God's message with credibility. Texts: selections from 1 Corinthians 6 and other texts |

Season 4, Episode 36 — September 10, 2023
The Wasted Perfume — Sunday Sermon, September 10, 2023 (30:28) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Mary, sister of Martha, honored Jesus with an extravagant and beautiful gift—but Judas objected, preferring that the gift be sold and the money be given to the poor. Jesus' response calls us to check our priorities in how we use the money and resources God has given us, and to appreciate every gift that people might bring to God. Text: Matthew 26:6-13, John 12:1-8 |

Season 4, Episode 35 — September 3, 2023
When Jesus Weeps — Sunday Sermon, September 3, 2023 (33:24) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — When Mary and Martha were grieving the loss of their brother Lazarus and Jesus knew he was about to raise Lazarus from the dead, why did Jesus weep? Did he weep out of his own sorrow over his friend's death? Was he angry with the unbelief around him? Did something else prompt his tears? In Jesus' tears, we glimpse how Jesus feels about death and how he—the one who will call the dead back to life—joins us in our grief. Text: John 11:1-44 |

Season 4, Episode 34 — August 27, 2023
When God Lets Us Down — Sunday Sermon, August 27, 2023 (36:38) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — The sisters Martha and Mary, when their brother Lazarus became sick, quickly sent an urgent message to Jesus to let him know. But Jesus, who could have healed Lazarus, did not come in time. In response—even though they had great faith—the sisters were deeply disappointed. We, too, are disappointed with God sometimes. What should we do when God lets us down, when he doesn't meet our expectations of a good and loving God? Text: John 11:1-44 |

Season 4, Episode 33 — August 20, 2023
What Is Better — Sunday Sermon, August 20, 2023 (25:23) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — If Jesus were personally coming to your house to stay a while, what would you do? Sweep the floor? Send the kids to stay with the grandparents? Martha opened her home to Jesus, and she was busy and worried because of all the preparations that needed to be made—and upset because her sister Mary was not helping her! Yet Jesus said Mary had chosen to do something even better, something we, in all our busyness, should do as well. Text: Luke 10:38-42 |

Season 4, Episode 32 — August 13, 2023
The Soft Approach — Sunday Sermon, August 13, 2023 (32:57) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Paul, as an apostle of Jesus, could have ordered Philemon to do the right thing and receive his runaway slave back mercifully. But Paul did not exercise his apostolic authority; he did not take a confrontational, forceful approach. He took a soft approach, as Jesus did with us and modeled for us to do with one another. Text: Philemon |

Season 4, Episode 31 — August 6, 2023
What to Do with a Runaway Slave — Sunday Sermon, August 6, 2023 (36:22) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — One day, Philemon's runaway slave, Onesimus, returned to Philemon's home with a letter from the apostle Paul. Runaway slaves were usually punished harshly, but Paul asked Philemon to receive Onesimus back graciously. Why? And why did Paul send Onesimus back to his master at all? What do Paul's instructions to Philemon teach us today about our relationships with one another in the family of God? Text: Philemon |

Season 4, Episode 30 — July 30, 2023
Our Freedom in Christ — Sunday Sermon, July 30, 2023 (30:01) Sunday Sermon by Ryan Ferguson — What is true freedom, the kind of freedom that comes only from God through Christ? This lesson explores the freedom that God provides—freedom that calls us not to indulge in our own desires, but to grow in the fruit of the Spirit and in love for one another. Texts: Galatians 5 and selected texts |

Season 4, Episode 29 — July 23, 2023
The Cumulative Effects of Everyday Godliness — Sunday Sermon, July 23, 2023 (36:24) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — It might be easier to be godly in all our normal, mundane, everyday activities if we could see the end result from the beginning—see the blessings our godliness would produce. But great people of faith like Joseph, Daniel, Tabitha, and the widows of 1 Timothy 5 could not foresee the results of their daily godliness, yet they were faithful to God in their everyday tasks. Like them, when we are godly in all the little things God gives us to do each day, we find God to be faithful, and we receive a rich blessing. Texts: Genesis 39:1-6a, 39:20-23, 41:46-49, 41:53-57; Daniel 1:1-6, 1:18-21, 6:1-4; Acts 9:36-42; 1 Timothy 5:9-10 |
