Dear Me: The Madness of Time 05/05/2026

Dear Me: The Madness of Time I’m not sure what area of our lives God’s timing might be causing frustration, but God has given us the perfect example of making everything beautiful in its time. He’s demonstrated this in our eternal salvation! If God has done this for us in Christ, why would we not turn to Him in faith in all our activities under the sun? We can be frustrated by our limitations, or we can turn by faith to the one who makes all things appropriate or beautiful in its time. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/41153320

Dear Me: If You Want It- Get It! 04/27/2026

Dear Me: If You Want It- Get It! Solomon’s downfall wasn’t in his experience of pleasure. That’s what can make life so ironic. God took pleasure in His creation! I don’t know where we get the idea that following Jesus is anti-pleasure. No! It’s when we pursue pleasure for our own glory that it becomes problematic. Go back and read Ecclesiastes 2 and see who is at the center of Solomon’s world. He did not trust in the goodness of God. Solomon pursued pleasure in rebellion against God! Take it from the memoir of King Solomon, the well of pleasure eventually dries up. There is only one well of living water and it’s found in a life of pursuing Jesus. God loves you and desires to give you the good life forever! The good life isn’t found in an abundance of “things” or in the denial of “things.” The good life comes from seeing God in all things! /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/41029805

Dear Me: Worthless Wisdom 04/20/2026

Dear Me: Worthless Wisdom Physical water will quench temporarily, but the living water of Jesus satisfies forever. Solomon tried to find life in every well that this world had to offer. He concluded that it is a futile pursuit. So, what well are you running to today? There is only one with living water. That is a life pledged to Jesus, abiding in His presence through the Holy Spirit, and expressing itself in love toward God and people. Earthly wisdom is worthless, but that is godly wisdom, and godly wisdom is priceless. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40934260

Dear Me: The Window Frame of Ecclesiastes 04/13/2026

Dear Me: The Window Frame of Ecclesiastes As Jesus followers, we get the added benefit of seeing what God has done for us in Christ! Solomon was looking ahead at what God would do. We get the privilege of looking back at what God has done in Christ. We also get the privilege of living every day with the power of the Holy Spirit. But even as Jesus followers, we still look at life and say that it ought not be this way. We live in the tension of life under the sun as we await our Lord’s return and the day He makes all the sad things untrue. Until then, we don’t ignore the pain and brokenness of this life, but we always maintain hope. Hope isn’t wishful thinking. Hope is confident assurance that God will fulfill His promises because of what He’s already done in Christ. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40824910

Giving Up to Gain: Good for Eternity 04/07/2026

Giving Up to Gain: Good for Eternity Easter is the celebration of an event. Jesus rose from the grave. 500 people gave witness to His resurrection, including His half-brother. But the true significance of Easter is what Jesus accomplished and the unlimited access we have to the presence and power of God. And it’s good for eternity! /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40757635

Giving Up to Gain: True Greatness 03/30/2026

Giving Up to Gain: True Greatness Jesus is the Greatest Of All Time. He is far more than an example. He paid the price to ransom us from death to life. But He calls us to come and die so that we might live. His glory and our joy are inseparable. We don’t experience joy through seeking our own glory, but through seeking His glory. We seek His glory by presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice. We deny ourselves by delighting in God and His way! /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40665535

Giving Up to Gain: Mustard Seeds & Treasure 03/23/2026

Giving Up to Gain: Mustard Seeds & Treasure Have you claimed your position in God’s kingdom? We become citizens of God’s kingdom through our allegiance to Jesus. Trust Him. We participate in God’s kingdom by hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Righteousness isn’t a set of rules to follow. Righteousness is our right standing before God through Jesus Christ that makes us alive to the things of God. It may seem like a mustard seed, but we’ve been given a great treasure. That treasure is citizenship into God’s kingdom, and His kingdom is eternal. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40587700

Giving Up to Gain: From Sacrifice to Satisfied 03/16/2026

Giving Up to Gain: From Sacrifice to Satisfied This week, listen in as Pastor Will continues our sermon series "Giving Up to Gain." In this sermon, Past Will talks about how we have to embrace interruptions, entrust whatever, and experience satisfaction. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40494000

Giving Up to Gain: On Demand 03/10/2026

Giving Up to Gain: On Demand Maybe there are some who have walked with Jesus on the road of discipleship for a while, but the people or possessions of this world are pulling you in a direction of ineffectiveness. God extends His grace to begin a relationship with Him, and He extends His grace to continue in relationship. We’re not defined by our mistakes. Talk to Jesus today and reconsider the demands of discipleship. What areas of our lives need to be committed to the Lord? Jesus will meet us in the sacrifice, and we will encounter His joy and peace. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40380135

Giving Up to Gain: What Do You Have to Lose? 03/02/2026

Giving Up to Gain: What Do You Have to Lose? The call of a disciple is an open invitation, but few will choose to follow. Don’t look at everyone else. The question is for you and me. What is your soul worth? What are you willing to exchange for it? We find ourselves by losing ourselves. There is great gain in giving up. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40282745

Leadership Low-Key: Cooler Heads Prevail 02/16/2026

Leadership Low-Key: Cooler Heads Prevail Listen in as Pastor Will talks about how we should love badly behaved people, paint the bigger picture, and wait for God's vindication. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40126980

Leadership Low-Key; The Leadership Lessons from Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego 02/09/2026

Leadership Low-Key; The Leadership Lessons from Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego God can do a lot through a low-key leader. These 3 young men were tossed into the fire because they stood on their convictions in humility and courage. Through the influence of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, it was King Nebi who ended up changing his tune that day. God used the influence of three powerless young men to shape the heart of the world’s most powerful leader at the time. Look at God go! /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/40040380

Leadership Low-Key: Leadership Lessons from a Nameless Girl 02/02/2026

Leadership Low-Key: Leadership Lessons from a Nameless Girl Elisha refused to accept the gifts because Elisha also knew that it was God who brought about his healing. God used a nameless servant girl to work in the life of her master. Naaman, the master, ended up becoming a servant when God healed him. We never know where low-key leadership will lead! Let’s be people who see God working in our circumstances by stepping into need with compassionate and courageous conviction! /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/39959555

Leadership Low-Key: Leadership Lessons of Baruch 01/27/2026

Leadership Low-Key: Leadership Lessons of Baruch These Old Testament texts can be difficult for us to wrestle with. Perhaps it is uncomfortable to think about God as a judge. There are aspects of God’s character that are hard to explain. God is love, and He is just. Both the love of God and the justice of God were fully displayed on the cross. God can’t ignore the penalty of sin. It would be unloving and unjust. He also knows His holy standard is impossible for us to achieve. So, He did the unfathomable and died in our place. He fully upheld His love and justice by sending His Son as an atonement for sin. These Old Testament texts are important for us to remember because they remind us of the costliness of sin and they magnify God’s grace. God’s grace is being extended to us today. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/39894955

Leadership Low-key: The Sublimity of Anonymity 01/19/2026

Leadership Low-Key: The Leadership Lessons from Deborah 01/12/2026

Leadership Low-Key: The Leadership Lessons from Deborah Deborah stands out as an exemplary leader in a low-key kind of way. She does so by developing a life of godly wisdom, decisively rendering judgments. She wasn’t afraid of conflict. She spoke accurately and clearly what the Lord had commanded. When she was asked to lead by example, she did so. This is a remarkable woman of faith who enacted the judgments of God with humility and courage. She is truly a leader, low-key. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/39694710

Leadership Low-Key: The Leadership Lessons of Aaron 01/06/2026

Leadership Low-Key: The Leadership Lessons of Aaron Aaron would have his leadership successes and his leadership failures, but the greatest example of low-key leadership is Jesus. He’s the only perfect leader because He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a servant. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/39623850

Memories in the Making: God Blessed the Broken Bethlehem Road 12/22/2025

Memories in the Making: God Blessed the Broken Bethlehem Road This Christmas season–is there room for Jesus in the home of your heart? Invite Him in. Let His Word make its home in you. If you let Him in, He can make the mess of your life into a message, just like with Mary. He took a young lady who was scandalously pregnant out of wedlock and used her to bring the Savior of the World to us all. God blessed the broken Bethlehem road that led Jesus straight to you–will you make room for Him in the home of your heart this Christmas season? He’s knocking–and desires fellowship with you. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/39509840

Memories in the Making: Twisted Tree 12/09/2025

Memories in the Making: Twisted Tree The genealogy of Jesus is a twisted tree, but God’s sovereignty and goodness encompass it at every point. It’s important for us to go up on the mountaintop and take in the view. That’s what Matthew has done. Humans don’t always get it right. There are so many times I’ve been disappointed or disappointed someone in my life, but with God it is never a dead end. His mercy goes from generation to generation. He redeems, He restores, He can even bring life from death. /episode/index/show/tabchurch/id/39332620

Vision Sunday: Go Boldly 12/01/2025

Vision Sunday: Go Boldly Our “amen” is sourced through Christ as we consider the fulfilled promises of God!
