  Forgiving Someone Who Doesn't Deserve It - September 6, 2026

  Sep 6, 202637 min

  There is a person you have decided is not getting your forgiveness, and you have good reasons. What they did was real. Nobody would blame you for holding onto it. This message makes an uncomfortable case that the holding is doing more damage to you than to them, and that letting go was never going to start with feeling ready. It also asks the harder second question. Once you forgive them, can you actually sit next to them? --- (0:50) A schoolhouse in Pennsylvania (2:34) Thirty of them went to his funeral (3:56) The gospel upends our expectations (7:40) Two things he is being asked to do (8:31) What a runaway could expect under Roman law (10:09) A beautiful idea until you have to do it (10:56) You do not need more faith (12:40) It is obedience, not feeling (13:32) Pushing a door marked pull (14:22) Remember the debt you could never repay (16:53) Just as the Lord has forgiven you (17:48) The class I taught for twenty years (19:28) I told the pastor this is stupid (20:19) Those memories don't bother me now (21:08) The side of the room you sit on (21:58) Forgiveness was only half of it (23:45) How this letter blows up injustice (25:20) I still hate rap (26:13) The doorbell I ignored on Thursday (28:44) The fresh start he had no right to (31:17) Charge that to my account

  Nobody Can Make You Believe Any of It - August 30, 2026

  Aug 30, 202646 min

  Church has a reputation for telling people what to do. Rules, expectations, a list you are already failing. That reputation is why plenty of people never walk in. This message argues the opposite, and it does it by pulling back the curtain on how this church talks to people on purpose. Nobody is going to make you believe anything. That turns out to be the entire point. --- (0:48) They burned it in the street at 2 a.m. (1:39) I don't. But the church does. (4:08) A runaway who crossed an empire (4:57) The worst place to land (7:20) How does this guy have any authority (8:08) The first authority he doesn't use (9:45) The second authority he doesn't use (12:08) The third authority he doesn't use (12:58) Command is outside. Appeal is inside. (13:47) Isn't naming it the same as using it (15:23) Why he doesn't just free him (17:00) Nobody took his life from him (17:51) Narrow, and you still have to choose (19:29) Have to eat dinner, or get to (20:16) Pulling back the curtain (21:53) The verse that terrifies pastors (24:18) Why nobody up here commands you (26:49) The only thing that changes anyone (28:27) Wait until the Holy Spirit asks (29:50) The complaint that became an assignment (30:53) I was so unqualified (35:01) One sentence about nutrition (36:40) I can't teach you by removing your choices (38:19) Thirty-nine hours a week (40:46) Leave here with a name

  You've Been Running on Empty - August 23, 2026

  Aug 23, 202641 min

  You know the tank is empty. What you have never worked out is what actually fills it. So you try the usual things. More sleep, a weekend off, pushing through until the season lightens up. None of it puts anything back. What fills it was never something you produce on your own, and it isn't a matter of trying harder. It comes from knowing the one who actually fills it, and from getting close enough to people to see him doing it. --- (2:22) Two weeks at UCLA (3:19) The seizure nobody could stop (6:40) A letter written under house arrest (8:55) Not a personality, a fruit (12:27) I wrote this sermon three times (14:57) What are you known for (15:37) Full tanks overflow (17:37) Sitting alone in that room (19:03) Thank you for the fourteen years (22:07) What outweighs everything on the scale (22:56) When it falls apart, who do you call (26:40) The guy in the golf section (27:50) Why people never actually serve (28:38) You can't give away what you don't have (29:45) The ship looking for the lighthouse (32:08) A lighthouse doesn't make its own light (33:52) We almost skipped small group (34:58) Six months sober tells the guy at one week (35:36) Before you leave today

  Prayer Service | August 16, 2026

  Aug 16, 20261h 26m

  Most weeks you get a message. This one is different. The whole room prays together instead, out loud, through one passage of Acts, in five movements. Praise. Thanksgiving. Surrender. Boldness. Expectancy. Communion in the middle of it. If you have ever wondered what a church sounds like when it stops performing and just talks to God, this is that.---(0:00) Call To Worship(1:12) It Really Is Amazing Grace(5:05) Welcome & Intro(9:20) Grace Alone(12:48) Movement 1 - Awe & Praise(20:48) Who Else(25:31) Giving Section(28:18) Lord I Need You(31:57) Explain Open Mics(33:41) Movement 2 - Thanksgiving(46:40) Communion Teaching(53:08) Movement 3 - Surrender(56:42) Congregation Invited To Get The Elements(58:46) Communion(59:55) Movement 4 - Requests / Boldness(72:32) Movement 5 - Expectancy(81:28) Need To Know(83:46) Prayer Of Benediction

  What You're Holding Onto Without Realizing - August 2, 2026

  Aug 2, 202636 min

  There's something in your house you'd never offer a guest, and you've never once said that out loud. Maybe it's smaller than that. An hour you won't give up. A grudge you're still holding. You'd swear you were a generous person, and mostly you are, right up until something asks you to prove it. So what have you quietly decided is yours? (0:00) Ordering pizza during lockdown (0:35) We pulled our masks down (1:20) What makes anything great (3:31) What's in your heart shows in your hands (5:29) A hundred pianos, one tuning fork (6:13) The rival who became my brother (8:44) The grace we hand our kids (11:01) Jose needed a kidney (11:53) A one in 100,000 match (12:43) What it actually cost him (13:28) The surgeon who isn't a believer (16:31) The sodas I hide from guests (17:15) I gave more when I had less (17:57) I asked my wife where I hold back (18:49) The answer I wasn't expecting (19:28) Mine, mine, mine, mine (23:05) Easier to give everything than this (28:12) The gap between wanting and doing (29:00) Nothing fits in a closed fist
