Congrats to Pastor Rhonda for having one of the songs that she co-wrote reach the top 25 current gospel songs. We are so proud of her and her work. This weeks passage focuses on love, and what is love lived out. It is so easy to focus on ourselves, which leads to the ways of the flesh, instead of the Spirit, which leads to the way of love. We got caught up in our ways...

We focus on the idea of knowing the shepherd's voice and the importance of that. It is easy to desire a sign from God, to move and work so that we can know He is real and believe, but God works in a different way. He is moving and working all around us, but...

Lent is such a pivotal time for the church and its body, as it is a time of remembering the reality that all shall return to dust. Often times, we give up something during in the season of Lent. This allows us to connect with the suffering of Christ, putting us in a better position to live out of and into that suffering. In this episode though, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth challenge all to think through what are...

2024-01-1333 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 54: 1st Sunday of Advent - HopeIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss Advent, it's importance, and look at the first theme of Advent which is hope. Advent is such an awesome season of the church, and it begins the new year of the church. There really is no greater reset, than to remember Jesus' first coming and to wait/keep watch for His second coming. We do this by making sure that we live well while we wait. We do that by keeping the reconciliation of all things in our minds as the goal we are pushing towards and live now what...
2023-12-0233 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 53: Songs MatterIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss church worship and its importance. As Pastor Rhonda has been writing and creating beautiful songs, it has really brought about some great conversation on songs and why they matter. For so many, the sermon is the most important thing on Sundays and the songs are just prep. We believe that this is the furtherest from the truth though. Songs matter and often are the things we turn too for strength, peace, and hope in hard times. Thanks for listening in as we discuss this topic.

2023-11-2528 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 52: Thanksgiving Is An ActionIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the Thanksgiving season and its importance in the church. It is so important that Thanksgiving is apart of our faith, but Thanksgiving is so much more than just a feeling. It is easy to get caught up in the moments of life, and have a feeling of thankfulness as we move on to the next things. Thanksgiving is more than just a feeling though, and the scripture we look at today points to that. Thanks so much for listening and we pray and hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving.
2023-11-1829 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 51: Servant Like AttitudeWhat does it mean to become like a servant? Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss this as they look at the lectionary this week. Pride is something that can be very hard for us and lead us to some dark places. It leads us to complacency and potentially the abuse of others. The pharisees allowed their pride and position to get them to that place. Jesus speaks directly against this. What is our identity going to be in and how are we going to let that define and direct our lives? These are all apart of the conversation today...
2023-11-0429 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 50: The Greatest CommandmentIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the Gospel passage for the lectionary and its important to our lives. Jesus here is asked what the greatest commandment is, and His response is one that we are very familiar with. But, what does it actually mean and how does it drive our lives?

There has been so much going on, and we are excited to tell you all about it. We also discuss the Exodus passage from the lectionary.

We hope you enjoy this conversation and please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything...
2023-10-2130 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 48: It Is RubbishIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth continue discussing the Philippians passage from the lectionary that was started last week. In this weeks passage, Paul states his case for being able to be proud of his past. The reality though, is that once he encountered Christ, everything changed. The past, his previous way of thinking and believing, his previous way of living, everything was now filtered through Christ and Christ crucified. As we do that, we then push to the future and Christ desire for us, which could lead us to a places that are not always easy...
2023-10-0531 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 47: The Humility of ChristIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss what it means to live out the humility of Christ. It is so easy during hard times to focus on religion, instead of living the life that God desires for us to live. We believe that there is and can be a difference. As we look at the Philippians passage, it is so important that we approach the faith with as much humility as we can, as this allows us to spread and share the gospel, even in the midst of persecution and abandonment. We appreciate you listening in to...
2023-09-2830 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 46: Mercy and Grace Hoarder?In this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the lectionary passages for this week, focusing on the Jonah passage. This week truly is an extension of last weeks passage that talk about forgiveness and judgement. Grumbling is easy to do when things don't go exactly like we like it. Jonah knew that God was going to be gracious to the Ninevites, and instead of being excited about their turning, Jonah decides it would be better for him to grumble and die. How easy it is for us to get to a place where we want God to move...
2023-09-2130 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 45: How We Treat Each OtherIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth return to the lectionary, focusing this week on the Romans passage. This passage looks at how the church is suppose to treat each other, especially within the church. Our call is to encourage and journey with each other, not judge and tear each other down. It is important that we are patient with each other, even when we do not see eye to eye on everything and realize that we are all working towards honoring God. This is a very timely message for the church right now, and one we hope...
2023-09-1430 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 44: MosesIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the life of Moses. The overall story of Moses is an amazing story full of twist and turns. So many times we get so hyper focused on small portions of biblical characters, but it is interesting when we take a step back and look at the whole story of the characters. It gives an interesting perspective, and should bring us hope. Everyone in the bible was not perfect, but God used them. What a great hope for us as we try and live out our faith. Thanks for listening and...
2023-09-0736 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 43: TheologyIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss theology and its importance to the faith. Pastor Rhonda has been working through a theology class, it has led to some great conversations between her and Pastor Seth. They wanted to let you in on some of the conversations they have been having. Theology is very important for us. It is important to understand what we believe and why we believe it, but if it does not reflect Jesus, it might be bad theology. We hope you enjoy this conversation as you pursue your theology on a deeper level.
2023-08-3137 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 42: Spiritual Formation WrapIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth wrap up their discussion on spiritual formation and its importance. Looking at Romans 12:1-8, it is important that we understand the way that we live our life becomes an our sacrifice. We must be renewed in our minds, and push into the things of God. The way we do this is through spiritual formation. We are all apart of something that is so bigger than us, and has its place among the community of faith. May we all continue to dig deep and pursue God, as He pursues us.

This week, they begin to look at incarnate living and how it forms us and shapes us. It is important that we take care of our bodies. This will allow us the best opportunity to be ready to hear from Jesus and a longer opportunity to carry on the message of the Kingdom. We are also called to care for the earth. It is not here for us to use, abuse, and destroy, but it does...
2023-08-1635 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 39: Spiritual Formation - Prayer and FastingIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss prayer and fasting and why they are important in our lives. We talk about the why pray and different methods that we can use to hear from God. There is a reason that relationship is so important to God, but it is vital that we do not have a one sided relationship. Prayer allows us to communicate with God, and part of that communication is listening. Fasting also leads us to a place of trust and dependency on God. God desires to meet us, will we give Him the space...
2023-07-2736 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 38: Spiritual Formation - Bible ReadingIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth continue the discussion of Spiritual Formation by talking about the bible and how it plays apart of our formation. This is such an important aspect of formation, as the bible helps us to understand God better and allows us to understand our purpose in the world we live in. Many times though, we approach scripture with the goal to learn information, not that information is bad or that we should not read the bible for information, but a huge par of reading scripture should hopefully be for formation to happen in...
2023-07-2037 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 37: Silence, Solitude, SabbathIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the discipline of silence and solitude and why it is important to following Jesus. We see all throughout scripture the need to STOP and be quiet. The Israelites had a whole day dedicated to this called Sabbath. We see all through scripture though, there is something amazing that happens when people apply silence to their lives. The amazing thing that happens is, God shows up. It is so hard in the world and cultures we live in to prioritize and be intentional about silence, but if we can work on...

It is a hard conversation to have, but a necessary one for the church. What are the things that get in the way of spiritual and numerical growth in the church? How can we set ourselves up to be vibrant to the next generation and push them in their growth and journey as they follow Christ?

God's grace was sufficient throughout it all though, even when the suffering was at the highest he would experience. Although a slight continuation from last week, we hope you enjoy as we dive deeper into the sermons we preached this last Sunday. We also want to wish all those fathers out there a Happy Father's Day, as well as those who maybe this day is tough. God sees you and so do we. You are loved and appreciated! Thanks...

It all started with a blessing. God promises to bless Abraham, and then the call is that Abraham will go and bless all people. We can learn so much from this call, and it should be something that we live out in all that we do. Sometimes this is easier said than done though. Jesus shows us the blessing...
2023-06-0835 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 30: PentecostIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the biblical birthday of the church and what it means. God desires to pour out His Spirit on all people, and this is not just seen in the book of Acts, after the ascension of Jesus, but is a theme that is seen throughout the old testament as well. Moses and Joshua had to deal with God pouring His Spirit out on people other than them. This can get messy though, and is easy to try and contain rather than live into. There is something about God's people getting together...
2023-05-2536 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 29: Ascension of the LordIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth continue to discuss the Easter season passages with the focus being on the Ascension of Jesus. It is so important for us to dive deeper into the reality of this event, in order for us to be able to fully understand the arch of the Christian Calendar. The Ascension points to the kingship and lordship of Christ. Even as the king, Jesus still shows concern and grace for His followers, commanding them to go and wait for the one who was to come. We also have this promise of His return...
2023-05-1833 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 28: An Unknown GodIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss Paul's conversation with the Athenians that we see in Acts. Paul is telling them of the "unknown god" altar that they have amongst all the other altars to other gods. Paul clearly lays out who this God is, and how through Jesus, he proved to be the true living God. He did not abandon us, but is the God that lives with us. Paul essentially invites them into a different story then what they had known. The call of this God is to live righteousness, which correlates to the John...

As we flow from last week, we are called to be sheep. This calls us to believe in Jesus. This is never easy, but requires for us to rely on Him for our all. As we do this, God does something amazing within us and to those around us. We become a holy nation, a royal priesthood. Sometimes, the result of this can be tough. Stephen, following the example of Jesus, which came from belief in...
2023-05-0434 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 26: We Are SheepIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the early church and things that we can hopefully learn from the early church. It is so easy for us to get caught up in being leaders and leading those around us, but the call of God's people is to be sheep. We are called to follow, not lead, and to lead others into following Christ. This is vital for the church to understand and is only done as we devote ourselves to the teachings, the fellowship (each other), the breaking of bread, and prayer. When we do this, people...
2023-04-2736 minGrowing Hope Living FaithEpisode 25: The Emmaus RoadIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the 2 disciples and the road to Emmaus. This is such a great passage as it really is practical for life. As we live life, it is easy to live in this state of what now and doubt. The road to Emmaus leans into this part of life. The humanity of Jesus can very much be seen within this story as well, and should help us all in how we view Jesus. May we encounter Jesus, the body and blood, and allow that to push us to sharing our faith with...

Easter is so easy to get excited about, but what do we do now that we have celebrated it, and it is over. There is usually is a lull in the services immediately following Easter, but it is important for the church to continue to move forward. A great way to move is to look at the disciples and try to experience and understand where they were at. As we look at their responses, it simply comes down to seeing, not necessarily physically...

For this Holy Week season, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth look at the theme of weakness, and how does it play out in the events that take place.

We often rush over this Sunday to get to Easter Sunday, but it is so important to understand this Sunday and what it means for us. Jesus comes in peace and recognizes His call as the Messiah. There were ideas though of what Messiah should be and how Messiah should come. There were ideas of what Messiah was to do and how he was to do it. Jesus has something else totally in mind though.

In Ezekiel, we see the passage of dry bones and the prophet prophesying to them. The bones came to life, but it was not until the Spirit was called and brought forth, that the bones were able to truly be alive. We also discuss the raising of Lazarus, and the breath returning to him. That which was dead was brought back to life, and...

All of the scriptures go hand in hand, and we want to encourage you to read them all. Today, we focus on the Gospel passage and the healing of a man born blind. Jesus heals him on the sabbath, and this creates issues within the leadership at the temple. As they question the man, he pushes back against them asking if they too would like to believe. This ultimately gets him kicked out of the temple. Jesus later finds him though and...

This living water is not for a few, but for all people, even outcast and foreigners. When we experience this living water, it leads us to a life of worship in Spirit and Truth, a life of freedom and realness. God does not desire for us to stay in the wildernesses of our lives, and as we continue this...

Lent is a season of repentance and confession. This should bring us to a place of humility and dependance upon Him.

Are we going to allow God to be our God, and we be His people? Or do we desire to be our own God, which leads us away from a fulfilled life. The choice is yours. Thanks so much for l...

Growing Hope Living FaithEpisode 14: Here I AmIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth look into Isaiah 58 and The Sermon on the Mount. These passages are great passages of a people who are in exile, apart from God, and God leads them to know where He is at. It is in the emptying of self and embodiment of the Gospel, that the people will find God. God tells His people that as they do these things, He will be there. This is not any easy task, and definitely goes against today's society, but is so important for us to embrace and live. Journey with us...

Growing Hope Living FaithEpisode 10: EpiphanyIn this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the Christian idea of Epiphany and why it is important. The church celebrates Epiphany, remembering the time the wisemen came from the east to seek out the new king. This signifies that Jesus came not just for a few, but for all, even Gentiles. Are we awake to this idea? Are we living in a way that brings this to life? Listen in and be encouraged knowing that Jesus came for all, and we can have this Epiphany too if we have eyes to see.
