Episodes
The Secret of a Resilient Life | Rev. Nick Audas
The world offers countless paths to resilience, from self-optimization to endless introspection, but none can provide the lasting strength our souls need. In Philippians 4, Paul points us to something deeper: union with Christ.
Burnout | Matt Makar
Have you lost your energy to pursue Christ? In this sermon, Matt Makar explores how St. Paul kept pressing on from Philippians 3:10-21. If anyone ought to feel burnt out, it was St. Paul, as he wrote from prison. Somehow he still had the spiritual stamina to encourage the church from his prison cell. This message rediscovers the forgotten Christian doctrine that once fueled Saint Paul’s fervor. It
The Fruit of Suffering | Rev. Nick Audas
Paul points us to the humility of Jesus: though he was in the form of God, he did not grasp his position for his own advantage, but emptied himself and became obedient to the point of death. What if we learned to see our suffering not simply as something to escape, but as something God can use to produce humility, deepen our intimacy with Jesus, and make us more like him?
Joy? | Matt Makar
In this message, Matt Makar walks through Paul’s secret to joy from Philippians 1.
Get the Heart Right | Rev. Nick Audas
What does it look like for the church to have real love when we don’t agree on everything?

And in Matthew 18, Jesus reminds us that this unity is built on the shocking grace we have first received from God. We have been forgiven a debt we could never repay—so how can
Let the Love Be Real | Matt Makar
When Paul addresses the spiritual gifts, he gives both encouragement and caution. Most churches only encourage the gifts or caution against them. Romans 12:9–21 shows how genuine love governs the use of our spiritual gifts. Building on the encouragement from Romans 12:3–8, this message calls the church to be both encouraging and wisely cautious, so that our many members serve as one body in Christ
What is the Church? | Fall Ministries Kickoff | Rev. Nick Audas
What is the church? What’s actually happening when we gather together?

The Authority of Reconciliation | Matt Makar
In Matthew 18:15–20, Jesus gives his people a path for confronting sin that is aimed not at punishment, but restoration. As the process moves from private conversation to witnesses to the gathered church, Jesus reveals that reconciliation is not merely a personal matter but a responsibility entrusted to his people. The church carries out this work with real authority because Christ himself is pres
The Lord Is Near | Rev. Nick Audas
What if anxiety isn't something we simply need to get rid of, but an invitation to notice where we've allowed our problems to become bigger than our God? Anxiety has a way of pulling us into the future, expanding our concern beyond our control and convincing us that security is always just a little further away. But Jesus invites us into a different way of living: to consider what is right

Sermon on the Mount | Lust (Matthew 5:27–30) | Rev. Nick Audas
Jesus takes lust to the root: covetousness—the desire to consume another’s beauty for our own gain, driven by a quiet lie that we lack enough. But there’s a better way. Pastor Nick points us to the Cross, confession in community, and communion with Christ—an honest, hopeful call to bring what’s hidden into the light.

Come Holy Spirit | Rev. Nick Audas

Looking at Acts 1–2 and John 14, this sermon explores four postures for receiving all Jesus has for us—preparation, peop
The Secret Heart of God | Rev. Nick Audas
What do we need most when we’re living between promise and fulfillment? In John 17, Jesus doesn’t give the disciples explanations—He gives them revelation. As we listen in on Jesus’ prayer to the Father, we discover the heart of God toward us: glory, life, grace, protection, and intercession. This message is an invitation to move beyond merely knowing about Jesus into deep communion with Him.
When God Cuts Something Off | Matt Makar
Have you ever felt like God cut something off of you? Whether it is a job, an opportunity, a relationship, or even a hero, pruning is painful. In this message, Matt explores some of Jesus’ last words to his disciples on abiding in the vine, from John 15:1-11.
Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled | Rev. Nick Audas
In an “earthquake moment,” when everything feels like it’s unraveling, Jesus speaks a steady word: let not your hearts be troubled.
