Kaleb preaches on John 15: 1-11 and continues with his sermon series “The Invitation” by giving us Jesus’ invitation to come and abide. He uses the metaphor of when something is squeezed, what comes out is what is inside of that thing. If we want to have the love of Jesus come out of us when we are squeezed by life, we need to abide in Him.
Kaleb preaches on John chapter 13 and continues with the sermon series “The Invitation” by reminding us of Jesus’ invitation to come and love. He expands on last weeks invitation to come and learn by saying that anyone has the ability to learn from and follow Jesus’ commandments, but if they do not love in the way Jesus does (showing love even when it’s not necessary), it is meaningless.
Kaleb preaches on Matthew 11:25-30 and tells us of Jesus’ invitation to come and learn. He reminds us that learning takes practice and isn’t a passive thing, but Jesus tells us that if we put his teachings into practice, we will find rest for our souls.
Kaleb preaches on John 1:38-49 and tells us of Jesus’ invitation to come and see. Jesus encourages our curiosity with this invitation and shows that he has a desire for us to follow Him.
Trevor Owen preaches on the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke chapter 10. He reminds us that even though we live in a time of fear and devision that can even be justified and make sense, Jesus calls us to love others in the same way the Samaritan loved the beaten man on the road.
Kaleb preaches on Luke 19:1-10 and shows us through the story of Zaccheus that the good news of Jesus is not just for people who have visible external issues, it is for all people.
Pastor DJ Vincent from Church at the Park brings a message about the core principles that Church at the Park derives their mission from. He asks us to consider our way of seeing, doing, and being so that we might be free from fear to love and serve our community.
Here is the YouTube video that DJ showed during the sermon as it was unable to be recorded:
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.
