Kaleb preaches on 1 Kings 18 & 19 and tells the story of Elijah, that when he was afraid for his life, he ran away. God came to him in the wilderness, but Elijah let him pass by giving the excuse that he was the only one left who loved God and he was wanted dead because of it. Kaleb reminds us that this story isn’t the whole truth and if Elijah had a community to rely on, he might have acted differently. He then encourages us to find a community that can remind us of the truth when the story in our heads isn’t fully true and we might not let God pass us by like Elijah did.
Kaleb preaches on Mark 6:45-52 and teaches us that our superpower as humans is our faith in Jesus. He also encourages us that in situations where our faith might be stretched, we should remember Jesus’ words “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid.”
Kaleb preaches on Acts 3:11-21 and tells us that we live in a time when the world feels like it’s getting smaller and people need refreshing more than ever. He uses Peter’s sermon to show us that the way to this refreshing is by repenting and returning to God.
Kaleb preaches on Acts 3:1-10 and tells us how Peter and John did not pass by the beggar at the gate to the temple. He also encourages us to look for others who might be at a “gate” looking to receive something and to not just pass them by.
Kaleb preaches from many different passages in the Bible that all have examples of the question “where are you going?” or “where are you coming from?” He then shows how Jesus has authority because of his confidence in where he came from and where he is going. Finally, he invites us to reflect on our own lives as we head into the new year to help us answer these questions for ourselves.
Kaleb preaches on Isaiah 7:1-16 and tells how God gave King Ahaz a sign that was surprising, and more than he asked for. He goes on to say that Jesus fulfilling this prophecy is proof of God’s surprising Love that is always more than we ask for.
Kaleb and Noah preach from Isaiah 35:1-10 and teach us that Joy is everlasting and something that you can experience even in times of darkness.
Robroy Ranger preaches on Isaiah 11:1-10 and tells us to “Watch the Stump,” which in Isaiah is the stump of Jesse from which Jesus grows. He then encourages that Jesus brings transformative peace that can turn enemies into family, and we are called to carry this peace to the nations.
Kaleb preaches on Isaiah 2:1-5 and reminds us during this first week of Advent of the Hope that Jesus’ gives us. He tells us that we are called to ascend to Jesus to be transformed by him, but we are also called to descend from Jesus to bring his Hope to the nations.
Pastor Jon Silva preaches on Ruth and teaches us how Ruth comes to the Promised Land through her faith. He also explains to us that the Promised Land is meant for everyone, even the “outsider” and encourages us to invite those in our lives who might feel like outsiders to the Promised Land.
Noah preaches on Matthew 5:1-12 and deep dives into each of the blessings that Jesus gives at the beginning of his Sermon on the Mount.
Kaleb preaches on Joshua chapters 3 and 4 and shows us how the Word of God is the pathway into the promised land. He then encourages us throughout our week to “read one and take one” meaning to read one chapter from the Word of God and to take one action informed by what we read.
Kaleb preaches from Exodus 19-32 and tells us how Israel just could not wait for God to finish speaking with Moses and turned to idols. But God anticipated this and gave Moses instructions on how to atone for their sins even before they faltered. Kaleb then encourages us in a few different ways that we can practice waiting so that we can be God’s chosen people to the world.
Noah preaches from Genesis 28 and 32 and reminds us that God wants to and will meet us in the wilderness. He then encourages us to surrender to God and he will hold us together, even in the wilderness.
Kaleb preaches on Exodus 17 and tells us how the Israelites tested God because they were thirsty, then God provides life by bringing water out of a stone. He then reads from John chapter 6 and teaches how Jesus, not only provides life by giving food, he also provides life by giving his own flesh and blood.
Kaleb preaches on Exodus 15 and 16 and tells us that even though the Israelites were hyped because of their freedom from slavery, they were not healed of all the time they spent enslaved. He goes on to teach us that God is a healer and God brings this healing through rest.
Kaleb preaches on Exodus 12-14 in which Moses and the Israelites are chased to the Red Sea by the Egyptians. He teaches us that Moses told the Israelites not to panic, to stand still, be silent, and watch, and God will fight this battle for them, and we should also follow these words when we start to question whether God cares about our troubles.
Kaleb preaches on Exodus 3 and 4 and shows us how God needed to get the attention of Moses, the Israelites, and Pharaoh with different amounts of signs to get there attention. He then encourages us to tell God “Here I am” just like Moses did so that we can be receptive to what God wants to tell us without even needing a sign.
Kaleb preaches on Exodus 2 and teaches us how Moses acted in his highest and lowest moments, then compares this to how Jesus acted in his highest and lowest moments. He then encourages us to be like Jesus and do good in our high moments and our low moments.
