Building The Body Of Christ - Part 1 | Ephesians 4:7-16

Retired at 72, pastor Charles McCoy lay awake asking, "What have I really done for Christ?", then spent 16 years preaching and planting churches in India. From Ephesians 4:7–16, Pastor Jason Lancaster shows that the ascended Christ has given gifts to every believer and gifted people to His church so it can grow inward and outward. Focusing on apostolic and evangelistic gifts, he reminds us there is no "spiritual Social Security." You never retire from serving Jesus. Church is like pickleball: everybody plays.

Adopted Children Of God With A Secured Future | Romans 8:14-25

With six of his seven children present, Pastor Jason Lancaster preaches the one thing he most wants everyone to know: God loves you. From Romans 8:14–25 he describes God's "contra-conditional" love: He doesn't love us because we met the conditions, but because Christ met them for us. Through his family's own adoption story, he shows that God's love went looking, that the Spirit lets us cry "Abba, Father," and that our inheritance is God Himself. Suffering can't touch that love, and failure can't cancel it.

A Wake-Up Call From God | Isaiah 30:1-31:9

In Isaiah 30–31, even good King Hezekiah, facing the Assyrian army, first turned to Egypt for help instead of the Holy One of Israel. Wes Ooms walks through the story and God's warning: "Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help." Yet God still called His people, "In repentance and rest you will be saved; in quietness and trust is your strength." When Hezekiah finally turned to the Lord, God delivered Jerusalem overnight. The heart of God is this: the Lord longs to be gracious to you.

Go Home: A Lost Cause Finds Mercy | Mark 5:1-20

In Mark 5:1–20, Jesus steps into Gentile land and darkness runs straight at Him: a man possessed by a legion of demons, living among the tombs, whom no one could bind. Elijah Lancaster shows that Jesus Christ is Lord. The demons bow and beg from defeat, and the man everyone had written off sits clothed and in his right mind. Then Jesus sends him home to tell what great things the Lord has done. There is no such thing as a lost cause, and our story of mercy speaks loudest to those who knew us at our worst.

Solid Ground Amid Foolish Choices | Isaiah 28:1-29:24

Blindfolded, people who try to walk a straight line end up walking in circles. In Isaiah 28–29, God's people, drunk on pride and power, thought they were walking straight, but they were looping in sin, mocking the prophet and making a "covenant with death." Pastor Jason Lancaster shows that God's answer is the precious cornerstone laid in Zion, Jesus. Is He your cornerstone, or just one more brick? God disciplines His children wisely, never abusively, and calls us from lip-service religion to fix our eyes on Christ.

The Unity Of The Spirit | Ephesians 4:1-6

Dallas Willard said almost all the evil people do to one another comes down to assault and withdrawal, and churches die from the same two things. In Ephesians 4:1–6, Paul urges believers to walk worthy of their calling with humility, gentleness, patience and love, eager to keep the unity of the Spirit. Pastor Jason Lancaster explains the difference between closed-hand essentials and open-hand convictions, and calls us to bend over backwards for one another, because that's how the Lord has treated us.

The King Who Shakes Empires | Isaiah 13:1-16:14

On the weekend of America's 250th anniversary, Pastor Jason Lancaster preaches Isaiah 13–16, God's judgment on Babylon and Moab. Human history is a graveyard of empires: proud nations think they're too big to fail, but God crushes proud nations and crowns King Jesus, the faithful King who rules with justice and righteousness. Thankful for America's blessings, he warns against national pride and calls Christians to keep Christ above patriotism, to seek justice and righteousness, and to pray for humility and repentance for the next generation.

A Powerful Prayer for Power | Ephesians 3:14-21

Caffeine, shopping or a good movie can lift us for a while, but only God can fill the void. In Ephesians 3:14–21, Paul kneels and prays that believers would be strengthened by the Spirit so that Christ would truly dwell in their hearts, and that they would grasp the breadth, length, height and depth of His love. Pastor Jason Lancaster names the lies and worldly distractions that keep us "emotional atheists," and calls us to trust the God who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all we ask or think.

The Anointed King and the Hope He Brings | Isaiah 11:1-12:6

When life feels like a stump that has been mowed down, Isaiah 11–12 promises a shoot from the stem of Jesse: the Spirit-anointed King, Jesus, who brings hope even when our troubles are our own fault. Speaking honestly about his own seasons of depression, Pastor Jason Lancaster shows how this King will set everything right and gather the nations. Because God's anger has been turned away through Jesus, the redeemed can worship joyfully, even in the dark.

Stewards of Revelation - Servants of the Gospel | Ephesians 3:1-13

There's no such thing as a neutral summer: you either grow in the Lord or drift. In Ephesians 3:1–13, Paul, a "prisoner of Christ Jesus," shows that our circumstances don't have to change before we serve. Speaking especially to the men, Pastor Jason Lancaster unpacks the mystery that Jews and Gentiles are fellow heirs in Christ, calls us to be servants rather than critics, and reminds us that in Jesus we have bold access to the Father.

He Could Do No Miracles There | Mark 6:1-13

Most of us live somewhere between "How are you dealing with the limited horizons your body is giving you?" and "I need Jesus to be real." In Mark 6:1–13, Jesus' hometown knew Him too well to believe, and "He could do no miracle there," while the Twelve, sent out with nothing, saw great power. Phil Ware asks whether we are Jesus' hometown today, and challenges us to ask and act in faith for what only Jesus can do.

E Pluribus Umum | Ephesians 2:19-22

"E pluribus unum," out of many, one, describes the church long before it appeared on a national seal. In Ephesians 2:19–22, believers are fellow citizens, members of God's household and living stones built together into a holy temple. Pastor Elsen Portugal shows that while each of us must trust Christ personally, the Christian life is lived out together, as one body gifted for the common good.
