Set Apart - Pt 9 - In a world defined by division and hostility, how are believers called to respond to a culture that feels increasingly alien to their faith? In this message, we look at one of the most surprising commands in the entire Bible. When the people of Israel were stripped of their homeland and carried off as exiles into Babylon—a cruel, pagan empire—the prophet Jeremiah gave them an…
Set Apart - Pt 8 - The Faith Factor - When a sudden crisis hits, where do you automatically turn? Do you lean into fear, try to fix it in your own strength, or stand firm in faith? In this episode, we look at the life of King Ahaz in Isaiah 7—a leader facing an overwhelming nation-threatening crisis. Faced with a critical crossroad, Ahaz had to choose between human alliances and trusting God's…
Set Apart - Pt 7 - Looking for the Lion-hearted (2 Kings 11) "The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." — Proverbs 28:1 Where do you turn for courage when the world around you feels chaotic and dark? In this message we dive into 2 Kings 11—a chapter marked by political turmoil, danger, and one of the darkest eras in Judah’s history. But right in the middle of…
Set Apart - Pt 6 - Character Counts: Integrity in Leadership & Life (2 Kings 9-10, Micah 6:6-8) In a modern culture that routinely excuses bad behavior for the sake of political or strategic wins, today's Christians are often tempted to lower the bar on character. But the cautionary tales of Israel and Judah’s kings reveal a sobering truth: integrity is far more important than policy—both in those…
Set Apart - Pt 5 - In 2 Kings 5, we see God use the prophet Elisha to encounter Naaman—a powerful, prideful Syrian warrior who thought he knew how the world (and the gods) worked. But when faced with a disease he couldn't conquer, Naaman was forced to realize that the God of Israel is nothing like the wooden, silent idols of his culture. Our God doesn't demand performance, splashy pageantry, or…
Set Apart - Pt 4 - Even the strongest among us hit a wall. In this message, we dive into 1 Kings 19 to look at the story of Elijah—big, bad, bold Elijah—who completely lost hope and despaired for his very life. We all face those dark seasons where we feel like giving up, but the way God responds to our rock-bottom moments changes everything. Instead of condemnation, God meets Elijah with radical…
Set Apart - Pt 3 - Be a Big-Godder - What happens when your faith matches the actual size of your God? In this message, we dive deep into the gripping story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17-18. Elijah was the ultimate “big-Godder”—a man whose radical boldness proved that the God he believed in was big enough to shake nations, bring the rain, and change things for good. God doesn't want us living with a…
Set Apart - Pt 2 - Break the Cycle - We’ve all seen cycles of hurt, poor decision-making, or brokenness passed down through families, organizations, or cultures. Breaking those cycles is incredibly hard work—but it’s entirely possible when we choose a different path. In this message, we are diving deep into 1 Kings 12–14 to look at a tragic turning point in ancient history. Two newly crowned…
Set Apart - Pt 1 - The Rise and Fall - No one in history had more advantages, wealth, or wisdom handed to them than King Solomon. For a long time, he made the absolute most of everything he was given—until he didn't. In Part 1 of this series, we dive deep into 1 Kings chapters 10 and 11 to unpack the tragic turning point in Solomon's life. His story serves as a powerful, sobering cautionary tale…
Don't Just Stand There - Pt 10 - Speak Life - Colossians 4:6 - Practice: Witness The balance to the discipline of silence is the practice of witness. We make sure that all of our speech is gracious, “seasoned with salt,” so that our words lead others to Christ.
