The Legacy You Build 04/19/2026

The Legacy You Build Pastor Josh Preaches on legacy. This message is for parents, grandparents and disciple makers! /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40925830

Watchmen on the Wall 04/12/2026

Watchmen on the Wall What if the greatest threat to your home isn’t what’s happening around you… but what’s happening within you? In a world that has confused and dulled what it means to be a man, many have drifted into passivity or misplaced strength. But Scripture calls men to something far greater: to be watchmen who are awake, anchored in Christ, and willing to lay their lives down. When men step into that calling, everything around them begins to come alive. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40817570

Right Where He's Waiting 04/05/2026

Right Where He's Waiting We spend a lot of our lives running, hiding, and trying to build identity from broken mirrors, lower gods, and old patterns that keep pulling us back into the slums. But the Gospel is that Jesus does not love us from a distance. He comes after what is already His, pays the price we could never afford, and brings us home. This message wrestles with the depth of our sin, the cost of redemption, and the question every one of us has to answer: will we keep running, or will we let His grace bring us home? /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40739930

Consequences 03/29/2026

Consequences What we realize in life is that decisions we make have consequences; good or bad. As we continue our walk through the first part of the Book of Hosea, this topic will feature front and center. Hosea’s marriage to the prostitute Gomer is an allusion to God’s relationship with Israel and, bringing it up to today, with us. We will see that when we put things ahead of God in our lives, or when we go against what is in God’s Word, there are consequences associated with our decisions. We will dig in to this and will see the length to which God goes to love us and to protect us, and how we can honor him in our lives. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40657330

Biblegate 03/22/2026

Biblegate When brokenness shows up, the instinct is often to cover it rather than confront it, but God refuses to work around what we try to hide. Through Hosea’s life and family, a vivid picture unfolds of a people who appear blessed outwardly yet are deeply unfaithful at heart, revealing how far humanity has drifted from a holy God. The weight of sin is not minimized but named clearly, exposing the reality that we fall short and deserve judgment, not love. Yet even within that tension, God begins to reveal a greater story, one where His faithful love pursues, confronts, and ultimately refuses to leave His people where they are. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40572780

Cross The Street 03/15/2026

Cross The Street Exploring Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10, this message confronts the tendency to define love by limits and convenience. Jesus challenges the question “Who is my neighbor?” by revealing that true compassion notices the hurting, feels their pain, and moves toward action. The story ultimately points beyond human effort to the grace of Christ, the true rescuer who crosses the road for us when we are broken and helpless. As followers of Jesus, believers are invited to live with open eyes and open hearts, ready to care for the people God places in front of them. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40490585

God of the Turnaround 03/09/2026

God of the Turnaround God turns it around. Walking through the story of Esther and connecting it to the resurrection of Jesus, the church is reminded that what looks hopeless is never final with God. Listeners are invited to repent, seek community, and trust that sorrow can become joy. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40370615

Yellow Car 02/22/2026

Yellow Car Do you know how many yellow cars there are on the road? It’s not what jumps out as a popular car color, but there are more of them than you might think. The key is that you have to be on the lookout for them. Likewise, God is guiding and directing our path and shows up in big and small ways in our lives. Again, we need to be on the lookout for it. Today as we go to Esther Chapter 6, we are going to see this in a number of examples. Although God is not specifically mentioned at all in the Book of Esther, it’s obvious that He is there. Also, we are going to see that we need to be people who look out of the window and not gaze in the mirror; our lives are made whole when we put the needs of others above our own. The contrast in how Mordecai and Haman live clearly illustrates this. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40190180

Where Dependance Lives 02/15/2026

Where Dependance Lives Pastor Josh teaches from the story of Esther, showing how true purpose grows out of dependence on God rather than self-reliance. Through Esther’s fasting, discernment, and courageous obedience, he highlights how God forms strength and wisdom in moments of surrender. Contrasting Esther’s dependence with Haman’s pursuit of wealth, legacy, and status, the message calls believers to examine what they rely on most. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40116000

Risk The Palace 02/08/2026

Risk The Palace Following Jesus means risking the palace. In this message, Pastor Josh explores the story of Esther and reminds us that calling is rarely safe, fast, or glamorous—but it is always worth it. Discover how God uses ordinary people who are willing to step out of comfort and into faithful obedience. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/40035795

My Goliath, Your Goliath 02/01/2026

My Goliath, Your Goliath Is there something in your life that seems to big to overcome? Chip teaches through 1 Samuel 17 and shares how we can move from a spirit of fear to overcoming our Giants. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39953655

For the Joy Ahead 01/27/2026

For the Joy Ahead In this message, Pastor Josh walks through Esther 3 and shows how purpose often becomes clearest when obedience starts costing something. As Haman’s hatred turns into a devastating decree, we see the danger of pride, misplaced trust, and becoming numb to evil. But even in the darkest moments, God’s providence is at work—calling His people to endure, stand firm in truth, and live with bold purpose. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39896380

The Trade 01/18/2026

The Trade We live in a world that constantly invites us to bow—to pressure, power, comfort, or approval—promising purpose if we comply. In the story of Esther, we see that real purpose isn’t found in outcomes, recognition, or position, but in faithful obedience to God in the moment we’re in. This message explores what it looks like to live with conviction under pressure and why following God’s direction matters more than chasing a destination. Discover how refusing to trade purpose for convenience can shape a life of deep, lasting faith. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39773775

Purpose Happens on Tuesday 01/11/2026

Purpose Happens on Tuesday What if your greatest God-given purpose isn’t found in a big, defining moment — but in the quiet, ordinary Tuesdays of life? In this message from Esther 2, Pastor Josh shows how God’s providence is still at work even when His name isn’t visible, and how the lives of Mordecai and Esther illustrate that purpose is formed through daily faithfulness and preparation. Rather than chasing significance or waiting for a breakthrough, we’re called to submit to God where we already are and train as disciples for the good works He’s placed in front of us. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39689125

Power, Pride and Providence 01/04/2026

Power, Pride and Providence What’s your purpose in life? This is a big question and something we’re going to consider over the next few weeks. We are kicking off a new series on the Book of Esther in the Bible. In this first part we’re going to see a King who thinks his purpose is to show off his power, his wealth, and his wife. He holds big parties and is surrounded with people who enable and influence him and none of them have any respect for women. Not surprisingly, his wife has other thoughts. All of this is going to clash, and we’re going to learn from the King’s mistakes. We will see that God builds us and prepares us for our purpose and that God has an intentional plan for each and every one of us. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39605990

I Wonder 12/24/2025

I Wonder When we think of advent, our mind probably turns to the lead up to Christmas and the coming of Jesus, but this is not the only advent; Jesus will return. In this message, we look at this second-coming by focusing on Revelation Chapter 21. We will see that for those of us who have accepted Jesus in our hearts and walk with Him – in between His first advent and His second advent – we’re experiencing all of the things that God has for us. We will see some practical things we can do in 2026 that will allow us to live the life that God wants us to live and we will see how this can fill us with a new sense of wonder and awe for all He does in our lives. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39527790

Who Wears The Crown 12/21/2025

Who Wears The Crown Pastor Josh explores Matthew 2 and asks the question: Who wears the crown? Discover what it means to follow Jesus as King, not just Savior, and how surrendering control leads to true joy. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39488235

Do You Want to Get Well? 12/15/2025

Do You Want to Get Well? We all want Jesus to fix our circumstances, but He came to heal our hearts. In John 5, Jesus asks the question that cuts through excuses: “Do you want to get well?” This message invites us to stop settling for relief and step into the freedom of deliverance. If a miracle brought you close, let Jesus be the reason you stay. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39404295

Not Just Another Day in Bethlehem 12/07/2025

Not Just Another Day in Bethlehem Pastor Josh unpacks the explosive claim at the center of Christmas: Jesus is God. This message dives into Scripture, tackles common objections, and shows why the identity of the baby in Bethlehem changes everything. Whether you’re exploring faith or wanting to grow deeper, this teaching will challenge and encourage you. Discover why Christmas is the scandalous story of God stepping into our world. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39313370

Living A Promised Life 11/30/2025

Living A Promised Life At the end of his life, Joshua has some words of wisdom for the Israelites, now that they are in the Promised Land. We see this in the last two chapters of the Book of Joshua. He tells them that while the big things are done, there is still work to do and that they need to stick to their values and objectives. The same is true for us today – we live in the “now” and the “not yet.” We have been redeemed through Jesus, but we need to stand firm in the faith, and continue to take ground for the Kingdom. We need to live a promised life. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39210445

Steward the Moment 11/23/2025

Steward the Moment In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13 and challenges us to stop measuring God’s promises and start stepping into them. When fear rises and obstacles look like giants, God calls us to steward the moment with faith, courage, and anticipation. This is our moment—let’s move when God speaks. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39139010

The Long Road Home 11/16/2025

The Long Road Home Pastor Josh shares “The Long Road,” a message about how God often leads us the long way for our good and His glory, drawing from Jeremiah 20:9 and Exodus 13–14. Through Israel’s Red Sea moment and Miriam’s song, he shows how remembering the “dry ground” builds gratitude and courage in hard seasons. Josh also tells part of 180 Life Church’s own long road and points us to Jesus—the ultimate rescue we remember at the Table. Be encouraged to be still in trust and move forward in obedience. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39051320

Freedom Has a Seatbelt 11/02/2025

Freedom Has a Seatbelt Pastor Josh reminds us that God’s boundaries aren’t meant to restrict us but to protect us. From Genesis 1:27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, we see that every person is made in God’s image and called to live within His loving design. Whether it’s sexuality or any other sin listed in Scripture, these boundaries flow from His love, not control—because real love always has boundaries. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38882860

The Image in the Dust 10/26/2025

The Image in the Dust In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what it truly means to be made in the Imago Dei—the image of God. Every human life, regardless of level of development, location, dependency, or ability, carries sacred worth and divine purpose. Drawing from Genesis 1:26–27 and Jeremiah 1:5, we’re reminded that our value isn’t assigned by culture but given by our Creator. We may have been made from the dust, but we were made in His image. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38783700

Justice: Now and Not Yet 10/19/2025

Justice: Now and Not Yet Micah 6:8 "what does the Lord require you, O man, but to "Do Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly before your God" We are called to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly - but we need to understand what that looks like from a biblical perspective to walk it out well. Often times we are afraid to be vulnerable with others and ask questions, or we punish others for their vulnerability. We need to be the "hands and feet" of Jesus to a world that is divided and hurting. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38634830

One Way 10/12/2025

One Way As we continue our “Truth in Tension” series this Sunday, we are going to be looking at how and why Jesus says there is only one way for us to have eternal life. While this sounds like the Gospel is exclusive, which it is, the Gospel message is also inclusive – anyone can be saved; they just need to put their faith and trust in Jesus. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38554465

Too Hard A Truth 10/05/2025

Too Hard A Truth Pastor Josh kicks off our "Truth in Tension" series with a message entitled "Too Hard A Truth." /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38470830

Lord, Where Are You? 09/28/2025

Lord, Where Are You? Have you ever had a “God, where are you” moment? You're doing the best you can, you’re trying your best but things are just not working out. You’re facing challenges in life, be it financial, relational, health-related, your job, or something else and just can’t see how you’ll get through it. Well today we’re going to see that God is closer than we think. We’re going to look at the Israelites as they leave captivity in Egypt and head to the Promised Land. God guided and protected them, and will do the same for us. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38382910

On the Fringe or in the Center 09/21/2025

Strangers in the Garden 09/14/2025

Strangers in the Garden We all long for intimacy with God, but too often we can feel like strangers in His house. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks why that tension exists and how Scripture points us toward true fellowship with Him. Join us as we take an honest look at desire, shame, and the steps that move us closer to God’s design. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38213800
