From Failure to Overwhelming Restoration - John 21.1-19 // The Resurrection & Today - Jeremiah Lepasana
John 21 answers two foundational questions we find ourselves asking now and again: 1) given the pain I see others experiencing, what hope is there for the world? and 2) what about me...what hope is there for me? The story of John 21 opens with the disciples struggling to catch fish. They worked overnight and nothing they did worked. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, Jesus shows up and at this Word and instruction there were fish - lots of fish! I know not many of us are fisher-people. But the point is larger than fish and fisher-people. The connection i...

Something Happened in the Middle of History - John 1.1-4, John 20.1-10 // The Resurrection & Today - Jeremiah Lepasana
Modern people don’t believe resurrection of the dead is plausible, was it just more plausible for people of the 1st century? Did people during the time of Jesus (1st Century) think this sort of thing could happen? The short answer is not at all. And the only plausible explanation for the first Christians’ belief in the Resurrection of Jesus is that it actually happened! John and the other first Christians were blown away because they believed that something happened “in the middle of history” that changed everything about reality as they experienced it.

Matthew 5.48 - "Perfect?!" // The Lord's Prayer - Jeremiah Lepasana
This past Sunday, we started a sermon series on the Lord's Prayer but looking at the larger context of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' most famous sermon. We dug into the phrase translated in the ESV as, "You therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." We (hopefully) saw together that instead of experiencing this sentence as the command of a terrifying drill sergeant, it is meant as both an invitation into a counterculture and an invitation into a promise.

1 Corinthians 16.22 - "Our Lord, Come" // Advent 2023 - Jeremiah Lepasana
Tucked away at the very end of 1 Corinthians, the book's author grabs the pen of his amanuensis and writes the Aramaic phrase, "MARANA-THA," translated as "Our Lord, come." Pastor Eugene Peterson in his Bible paraphrase translates the phrase, "Make room for the master!" This past Sunday, we focused on this ancient creedal statement and (hopefully) saw the prayer it gives us during the season of Advent.

Last Sunday, we started a short sermon series through the book of Hebrews entitled Unshakeable. Over these three weeks, we will see that in order to experience an unshakeable forever hope, the author invites us to 1) live from a "Mountain of Feasting," 2) trust a Perfect Priest-King, 3) strive for "Permanent Rest." We saw last week from Chapter 12 that we can live from either a Mountain of Fear and Danger or a Mountain of Feasting and Dancing! And, because of Jesus, we have come to this second mountain where God welcomes us into his town, his party, and into...

Created for Adoration // Series: Genesis 1-3, Removing Alone-ness | Jeremiah Lepasana
Last Sunday, we started a new sermon series entitled Removing Alone-ness. We began in Genesis 1 and saw that the first step to Removing Alone-ness is to allow creation to lead to adoration. All of creation declares the glory of God, yet we often zoom in on the creation and dismiss the Creator. Scripture urges us to see that all creation is an invitation to relationship with Jesus—for “all things were created through him and for him.”

"A Fellowship of Wave-Kissers" Psalm 130 | Jeremiah Lepasana
This past Sunday we spoke about how life in this world will include moments of chaos! And knowing this, we asked the question, “what do we do in the face of chaos?” From Psalm 130, we looked at how the poet writes about God with three distinct prepositions - to (You), for (You), with (You). First, the poet, in their distress, cries “to” God. Scripture is utterly realistic about the pain the world - it does not minimize. Yet, the poet embodies a faith that turns to God and not away from in moments of chaos.

A SSUTT Fellowship - Acts 2.41-47 | Jeremiah Lepasana | Acts: Different
This past Sunday we started a series through the Book of Acts called "Different," and we saw an early church fellowship - "koinonia" - that was SSUTT - Special, Supernatural, Unnatural, Tangible and Transformational. This "koinonia" was supernaturally formed by the Spirit, and models for us today a shared life motivated by intimacy-desire instead of consumption-desire. Intimacy-desire sees others not as objects but subjects. It carries a promise of ultimate-fulfillment, and is not marked by restlessness. It is measured not by accumulation (net worth!) but by dispossession. Intimacy-desire wants you, yourself, and not your use-value. What would...

Antipsalm 23 v Psalm 23 | Jeremiah Lepasana
The day-to-day challenges we experience often leave us feeling overwhelmed, alone, and unsafe.Yet, in Psalm 23, the author describes an experience of life marked by safety, security, and confidence rooted in God’s perfect leadership and intimate presence. This past Sunday, we looked at what this author saw and how the same hope and confidence is available to us today.

Ezra-Nehemiah: How to Rebuild When It All Falls Apart: Jeremiah Lepasana | "The Book Speaks Story" - Nehemiah 8.1-8
BIG IDEA: This strange Book pulsates and reverberates with the story of God’s great love for you!RECAPI. The Book is Strange, v.1-8We looked at chapters in Nehemiah that are realistic about how strange it can be to approach Scripture. God’s people are listening to Scripture read, and it is written in a different language, culture, and time from them. In the same way, it can often feel challenging to understand what Scripture says.

Who might Jesus be sending me to serve? RECAPI. In the passage we saw broken down walls and gates destroyed by fire. The big point was for an ancient city walls embodied a sense of safety, and gates were the place of justice and stability. Therefore, broken walls and dest...

How do we find strength to rebuild when things fall apart? We find strength to rebuild by singing and being sung over.This past Sunday we saw that the reality of building or re-building can be incredibly discouraging. In Ezra 3 and 4, God’s people faced constraints in resources, constraints in power, and people actively trying to frustrate their efforts. So, we asked the question, how do we face the realities and challenges of piecing up pieces? We saw in the text that the sound of rebuilding is marked by bot...

Ezra-Nehemiah: How to Rebuild When It All Falls Apart: Jeremiah Lepasana | "Begin at the Altar" - Ezra 3.1-6
What are you sacrificing?In the last few years many of us have lost something significant—whether a relationship, community, church, job, or place we called home. And, in light of our losses, we currently find ourselves in a process of rebuilding. Yet, how do we rebuild well? In this series through Ezra + Nehemiah, we will see that rebuilding has four main components: 1) altar, 2) temple, 3) walls, and 4) Word. And, the four together allow for an all-encompassing communal recovery of identity! This past Sunday, we began with the altar.

"Exceedingly Magnificent" - 1 Chronicles 22.2-5 | Jeremiah Lepasana
We should long to form an exceedingly magnificent fellowship–marked by rest.In 2 Chronicles 22.2-5, King David desired to build an exceedingly magnificent house for God, because David knew that this is what God deserved. This house required a selective profile of builder (a person of rest), extravagant provision, and abundant participation.The early Christian writers of the New Testament explain that this house has now become a people--the church! Therefore, the church is not meant to be either a building or a business enterprise, but an exceedingly magnificent fellowship. And, th...

Easter 2023 | Jeremiah Lepasana | What is your hope in life and death? | 1 Cor. 15.3-6
On this Easter Sunday, we asked the simple question, what is your hope in life and death? We spoke of the need for a hope that not even death can extinguish. From 1 Corinthians 15, we saw that the Resurrection of Jesus carries with it three hopes: 1) a historical hope, 2) a cosmic hope, and 3) a personal hope. First, we saw that the central question of Christianity is "did Jesus rise from the dead?" Today, we can often be tempted to categorize Jesus as one option among many in the marketplace of spirituality. However, the first Christians who saw and to...

The "Meat" Is In The Street: Knowing and Following Jesus into His Mission | Jeremiah Lepasana | Getting Our Expectancy Up | Eph 3.14-21, 1 Sam 17
This past Sunday, we continued our series The Meat Is In The Street: Following Jesus Into His Mission by talking about how we can grow our sense of expectancy! We looked at the story of David and Goliath in 1 Sam. 17 and saw how David modeled expectancy. In the scene, a mighty warrior named Goliath challenged God's people to a "battle of champions," where each side would choose one representative in a winner-take-all battle. And, God's people, seeing the size, stature, and strength of Goliath refuse to step forward. One imagines that these soldiers paralyzed with f...

This past Sunday, we continued our series The Meat Is In The Street: Following Jesus Into His Mission by simply acknowledging that in this part of the country it is easy to be cynical about mission! "I have to do, so others can behave" And, we are cynical because if we are honest, our underlying suspicion is that mission can be boiled down to, "I have to do, so I can get others to change how they behave." We are tempted deep down to believe that what religious communities really want for...

Rivers of Renewal: Our Collective Hope and Vision | Jeremiah Lepasana | Implication #5: Beauty for Ashes, Isaiah 61:1-4
This past Sunday, we finished our Rivers of Renewal series, by talking about Cultural Beauty. We began by reviewing a key idea that unlike a modern culture that merely loves as a response to what it finds lovely...God's presence makes lovely! This contrast is important because a dysfunctional culture--that merely responds to what it finds lovely--creates a world of pretenders and strivers, who spend endless energy looking to manufacture loveliness. In Isaiah 61.3, we see that instead of seeking to manufacture loveliness through things like work, we are invited to trade...

This past Sunday, we continued our Rivers of Renewal sermon series by focusing on God’s heart for Social Justice. We saw that we can make two key mistakes in regard to justice:We could deny that it is important. We could think it is important, but still not allow this conviction to change how we live—for example, how we spend our time or money. From Amos 5, we saw three things: 1) what God wants, 2) why we struggle to do it, 3) how we do it. We saw in Amos 5 that God wants oceans o...

Rivers of Renewal: Our Collective Hope and Vision | Jeremiah Lepasana | "Implication #1: Personal Conversion" - John 4:1-26, 39-42
This past Sunday we continued our Rivers of Renewal series by discussing one implication of renewal: personal conversion. We started by mentioning that conversion to Christianity appears to be increasingly taboo. In 2019, the Barna Group found that 47% of millennial Christians somewhat agree that it is wrong to share one's faith with someone of a different faith with hopes that they will one day share the same faith. However, it seems as though conversion is a natural way of being in the world. Jesuit thinker Bernard Lonergan argues that we absorb and engage the world around u...

Rivers of Renewal: Our Collective Hope and Vision | Jeremiah Lepasana | "The River's Promise" - Ezekiel 47.1-12
This past Sunday we continued our vision series, Rivers of Renewal, in Ezekiel 47 by speaking about the River's Promise. We saw that the river contains 1) a promise of radical reversal, 2) a life-producing power, 3) and an "active" invitation. First, the river contains a promise of radical reversal. The river in Ezekiel 47 calls back to the Garden of Eden, declaring a vision of the world as it should be. In addition, at the very end of Scripture in Revelation 22, we see another river, which shows us that this river in Ezekiel 47 alludes to not only the world as it

We opened the series by focusing on "the River's source," which is the Temple. We did that to see how through the Temple God invited ordinary people into a dynamic relationship. And, we started there, because our hope in this series is that it would increase our collective vision of who God uniquely is. In Ezekiel, we...

The new year will no doubt bring incredible highs and lows.

God invites us into His inevitable movement. In the first, we saw the first Christians thrown into jail and an Angel of the Lord set them free. From this, we know two simple truths, God cares and God acts. If you do not believe God cares about you and God acts...

This past Sunday, we saw the Joy equals possessing what you are desiring. So, looking at Jesus' mention of joy, we asked two questions: 1) what should we desire? and 2) how do we possess it?Quite simply, Jesus tells us to pursue:a FULL joy in a world of partial joy. a PERMANENT joy in a world of temporary joy. a PREGNANT joy that goes backwards into time to transform even our deepest agonies into glory. And, how does one possess this joy?This joy is caught by "infection" when in contact with His Presence. An...

Desiring Advent - Peace | Jeremiah Lepasana | “The Opposite of Trauma": 2 Thessalonians 3.16
This past Sunday, we considered our second Advent theme of Peace. We saw that there is no good translation of peace as it is described in Scripture. It is neither inner serenity, nor lack of conflict. Peace, as described in Scripture, is something so much greater. And, we ventured to put forward that if it can be described as anything, it would best be described by what it solves—the presence of all trauma that multiplies chaos and dysfunction in our world. Therefore, to properly understand biblical peace, we must see that it is equivalent to “The...

We may worry (with good reason from past experience!) about the ways a church could become unhealthy and oppressive! In addition, we may also worry that committing could infringe on our freedom and autonomy in inconvenient ways. So, we have to ask, are there any benefits to joining and committing to a church?Yesterday, I asked three questions: 1) what are the riches you miss by not committing to a church?; 2) how are these ri...

When this happens, we live out of a countercultural reality of a peo...

In Revelation 5, we see prayer as incense - and this might confirm our worst fears about prayer - that it is a light and ethereal thing with little power. Yet, Jesus in Luke 18 teaches us that we pray 1) with hope for a reimagined world marked by justice, 2) persistently, surrendering to Him our timelines and expectations, and 2) with confidence that He will act. In Revelation 8, we also see what the incense was intended to do. In God's hands, the prayers of his...
