Remarkable Women in the Bible: Shrewd as Serpents, Innocent as Doves

Remarkable Women in the Bible: Shrewd as Serpents, Innocent as Doves
In the first message of the series Remarkable Women in the Bible, Pastor Scott Engebretson walks us through Exodus 1:6–21 to highlight two unsung heroes who changed the course of history: the midwives Shiprah and Puah. Facing a brutal decree of forced population control and infanticide from a powerful, unnamed Pharaoh, these two women chose holy defiance over fearful compliance. By placing their reverence for God above the authority of an oppressive regime, Shiprah and Puah modeled a courageous, remarkable faith. They used wisdom, moral clarity, and shrewdness to protect vulnerable lives, standing directly in the stream of God’s covenant promises. Scott challenges all of us—men and women alike—to examine where we are called to stand against injustice, resist the fear-driven currents of our culture, and live with an unwavering fear of the Lord.

Stuck in a Moment: The Myth of "Never Enough"

Stuck in a Moment: The Myth of "Never Enough"
In week four of the Stuck in a Moment series, Pastor Scott Engebretson tackles one of the most sensitive yet universal areas where we feel trapped: our finances. Diving into Ecclesiastes 5:8–20, Scott acknowledges the overwhelming financial stress gripping our culture and confronts the illusion that more money equals more security. The teacher of Ecclesiastes reminds us that a disordered love of wealth only leads to corrupt hearts, sleepless nights, and endless striving. True freedom doesn't come from moving our financial goalposts or hoarding resources we can't take with us. Instead, it is found in choosing contentment, walking in generosity, and receiving the ability to enjoy our daily labor as a true gift from God. Scott challenges us to stop toiling for the wind and invite the Holy Spirit to unlock a deep, untethered gladness of heart. To learn more or connect with our community, visit .

Stuck in a Moment: What Is Crooked Can Be Made Straight
In the conclusion of the Stuck in a Moment series, Pastor Scott Engebretson explores Ecclesiastes 1:12–18 and 12:8–14to break down the limits of human wisdom and knowledge (Hokema). When we live purely with an "under the sun" perspective—relying solely on worldly information, self-effort, and human intellect—we eventually hit a wall of cynicism and painful helplessness. Access to more information in a modern world often brings more sorrow when we realize we lack the power to fix broken systems, tragedies, or our own mistakes. However, the narrator of Ecclesiastes offers a vital, hope-filled critique to the teacher's heavy reflections: there is a God beyond the sun who actively breaks into our reality. True wisdom isn't just about accumulating data, but living in proper awe, reverence, and obedience before our Creator. Where human effort fails, the God who restores and judges can step into our chaos, heal our brokenness, and make the crooked things straight. To learn more or connect with our community, visit .

Stuck in a Moment: Monotony, Legacy, and Life Under the Sun
In week three of the Stuck in a Moment series, Pastor Scott Engebretson unpacks Ecclesiastes 1:3–11 and 3:9–11, exploring the heavy, often monotonous weight of time. Whether counting down the fleeting days of summer or watching decades slip by, we often feel like time is a thief and an abyss of forgetfulness. Scott contrasts the teacher's pessimistic view of an endless "wash, rinse, repeat" cycle under the sun with the hope of a God who transcends time. While a Greek tragedy offers a beautiful but hopeless vision of how the world could be, the Gospel reveals a God of the Exodus and the Resurrection who actively breaks into our present moments to make all things new. Scott challenges us to step out of existential despair, move past self-focused legacies, and invite the eternal God to rewrite our trajectory today.

Stuck in a Moment: The Myth of Workism and the Trap of Idolatry
In week two of the Stuck in a Moment series, guest preacher RJ Owen dives into Ecclesiastes 2 to unpack the teacher's heavy reflections on labor, achievement, and burnout. In a world that often treats employment, career, and even deep-seated callings as modern-day religions promising identity and fulfillment—a cultural trap known as "workism"—Ecclesiastes offers a sobering reality check: it is all hebel (vapor). RJ challenges us to stop turning the good gift of work into an idol that fuels anxiety and keeps us up at night. Through the lens of St. Ignatius's Suscipe prayer, he invites us to renounce our workaholism, submit our talents back to God, and step into the true flourishing life: one that works hard for the Kingdom but boldly gives itself permission to disconnect, rest, and enjoy life's simple gifts with the people we love.

Stuck in a Moment: The Gospel for Control Freaks
Launching a new five-week series through the book of Ecclesiastes titled Stuck in a Moment, Pastor Scott Engebretson opens up the ancient wisdom text to address the very modern feelings of monotony, exhaustion, and feeling stuck in life. Scott breaks down the structure of Ecclesiastes—distinguishing between the narrator and the core monologue of "the teacher"—and explores two central concepts that frame the entire book: living "under the sun" and the Hebrew concept of hebel (often translated as meaningless, vanity, or vapor). Rather than viewing Ecclesiastes as a cynical treatise, Scott reframes it as a liberating gospel for control freaks. He presents four key invitations for navigating an unpredictable world: recognizing God's grace in every circumstance, releasing the anxiety of tomorrow, surrendering our idolatry of control, and learning to receive each brief moment as a gift.

Flourishing: The Cost of the Kingdom
Closing out the summer series on the Beatitudes, Pastor Scott Engebretson addresses Matthew 5:10–12: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Scott unpacks the reality of Christian persecution across the globe while providing necessary perspective on what persecution is—and isn't—for the Western church. Emphasizing that Jesus’s vision of flourishing is not an easy, fairytale life, Scott shows how living under the rule of King Jesus and pursuing real righteousness naturally clashes with the values of the world. He challenges us to move beyond silent self-protection and courageously live out our faith, asking whether we are truly willing to risk social discomfort, lost friendships, or cultural pushback for the sake of Jesus.

Flourishing: Blessed Are the Peacemakers
Continuing the summer series on the Beatitudes, Pastor Hannah Engebretson explores Matthew 5:9: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Opening with a lighthearted look at a 20-year marital compromise, Hannah dives into the profound difference between simply being a "peacekeeper" who avoids conflict at all costs and being an active "peacemaker" who courageously steps into tension to bring about healing and wholeness. Drawing lessons from modern culture, the story of Joseph in Genesis, and Jesus's own teachings, she illustrates that peacemaking is not a passive personality trait—it is the costly, active evidence of God's grace and peace at work within our lives.

Flourishing: An Undivided Heart
Continuing the summer series on the Beatitudes, Pastor Scott Engebretson tackles Matthew 5:8: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Scott challenges the common tendency within the church to dismiss purity of heart as an impossible standard reserved only for heaven. Instead, he presents biblical purity as an undivided loyalty and single-hearted devotion to God here and now. Exploring passages from Psalm 24, Psalm 51, and James 4, Scott emphasizes that we cannot manufacture or scrub our way into a clean heart on our own strength. Rather, an undivided life requires a humble posture before our Creator, asking Him by faith to recreate our hearts, submit our lives to Him, and receive the overflowing grace available to us.

Flourishing: Receiving and Releasing Mercy
Continuing the summer series on the Beatitudes, Pastor Scott Engebretson returns to examine Matthew 5:7: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." Scott explores how our ability to extend compassion and forgiveness to others is directly tied to our own experience of God’s grace. He explains that if we find ourselves harboring bitterness, judgment, or an unmerciful spirit, it serves as a spiritual indicator that we need to re-encounter the deep, unconditional love of the Father. Ultimately, Scott challenges the community to step away from self-righteousness, throw themselves at the "mercy seat" of God, and recognize that we can only authentically give away the life-changing mercy we have first received.

Flourishing: A Holy Longing
Continuing the summer series on the Beatitudes, Sam Stephens walks through the fourth beatitude in Matthew 5:6: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." Sam contrasts the cultural obsession with chasing superficial appetites—like scrolling through social media—with the deep spiritual hunger we are actually created to experience. He explains that kingdom flourishing belongs to those who carry a holy longing for Jesus, rather than those trying to coast on past spiritual experiences. Challenging the community to break out of comfort zones and "spiritual ruts," Sam offers practical next steps for individuals to stir up their spiritual appetite through scripture, accountability, and regular church community, reminding everyone that when we actively pursue Jesus, we are promised a seat at His feast.

Flourishing: Power, Posture, and the Meek
Guest speaker Emily Crider steps into the "Flourishing" series to examine the third beatitude: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Drawing from her extensive ministry work with university graduate students, Emily breaks down our modern discomfort with the word "meekness," which is often misconstrued as weakness, powerlessness, or passivity. By contrasting the oppressive, self-exalting power structures of the ancient Roman Empire with the humble stance of Jesus, she redefines meekness as power under control. Emily challenges the community—whether they feel voiceless and exhausted or hold positions of cultural influence—to surrender their control to the Lord, trust in His timing, and use their strength for the flourishing of others.

Flourishing: The Comfort Found in Mourning
In this installment of the "Flourishing" series, Pastor Scott Engebretson addresses our cultural aversion to grief and the rising phenomenon of emotional "dryness." Looking at the second beatitude in Matthew 5:4, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted," Scott challenges the American standard of rushed bereavement. Sharing a deeply personal reflection on the legacy and loss of his own father, he explores the sacred space that exists between laughter and tears. Scott invites the church to be a community that unmasks its pain, reminding us that true kingdom flourishing doesn't promise superficial happiness, but rather a rugged hope and divine comfort that can only be met when we are honest about what we are mourning.

Flourishing: Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit
Continuing the summer series on the Beatitudes, Pastor Scott Engebretson tackles our tendency to make false assumptions about life, work, and faith. Zooming in on Matthew 5:3, Scott unpacks the countercultural definition of what it means to be "poor in spirit." He explains that kingdom flourishing doesn't come from getting louder, bigger, or more self-reliant, but from a posture of spiritual bankruptcy—admitting our emptiness and decreasing so that Christ can increase. Even in the midst of a dry spiritual drought, Scott invites the community to step out of self-sufficiency, embrace a posture of humility, and receive the refreshing overflow that Jesus promises to those who know their need for Him.

Flourishing: The Way of the Kingdom
Kicking off a new summer series on the Beatitudes, Pastor Scott Engebretson introduces what it truly means to live a life that flourishes. Transitioning into Trinity Sunday, Scott contrasts cultural and academic definitions of human flourishing—like Harvard University's Human Flourishing Project—with the countercultural vision cast by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Drawing a linguistic link from Psalm 1, he notes that the biblical concept of being "blessed" is deeply tied to an internal, rooted state of flourishing. Scott explains that just as Moses climbed Mount Sinai to receive the law, Jesus went up on a mountainside in Matthew 5to reframe, fulfill, and deepen our understanding of God's instructions. Ultimately, Scott challenges the community to move beyond the drudgery of legalism or human willpower, reminding us that we cannot live out the Beatitudes in our own strength. Instead, we must actively pursue Jesus through a posture of daily repentance, allowing Him to refresh our souls and empower us to flourish right where life is lived—not on the mountaintops, but in the valleys.

The B-Side Life: Unguarded and Fruit-Filled
Preaching on Pentecost—the birthday of the church—Pastor Scott Engebretson concludes the journey through the book of Galatians with a powerful look at Galatians 5 and 6. Scott challenges the common misconception that the Holy Spirit's power is only meant for spectacular, headline-grabbing moments. Instead, he reveals that the "B-Side" of Pentecost is the internal power of God working daily to reshape our character into the likeness of Christ. Moving from theology to practice, Scott breaks down how the fruit of the Spirit is a singular, package deal—like an orange rather than individual grapes—and warns against trying to manage our spiritual growth through performance or willpower alone. Ultimately, he unpacks what it means that "against such things there is no law," inviting the community to step past the old protective fences of legalism. He challenges everyone to live vibrant, "unguarded" lives in their neighborhoods, families, and workplaces, fully empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring real change to the world.

The B-Side Life: The Battle of Flesh and Spirit
Continuing through the book of Galatians, Pastor Hannah Engebretson dives into one of the most powerful and challenging passages in Scripture: Galatians 5. On a joyful Sunday marked by celebratory water baptisms, Hannah addresses the internal tug-of-war we all experience between the "flesh" and the "Spirit." She explains that while the flesh naturally produces destructive results—such as anger, broken relationships, anxiety, and addiction—the Holy Spirit wants to cultivate something entirely different within us. Hannah reminds the community that true transformation isn't about legalistically trying to control our behavior in our own strength. Instead, it’s about a daily surrender to the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to fill us with His peace and organically produce lasting fruit like love, self-control, and kindness from the inside out.

Preaching on Mother's Day, Pastor Scott Engebretson highlights a moment of "providential convergence" as the journey through Galatians brings us to a passage where the Apostle Paul describes his heart as being in the pains of childbirth for the church. Drawing from Galatians 4, Scott explores what it truly means to look at our desires and evaluate what we are passionately striving for. He explains that the legalistic "A-Side" life focuses on outward performance, rules, and the wrong types of striving, whereas the "B-Side" life requires a deep, inward spiritual labor. Ultimately, Scott challenges the community to shift their focus away from cultural credentials or promotions and instead yearn for the ultimate goal: to be set free by the Holy Spirit so that Christ can be fully formed within us.

The B-Side Life: The End of DIY Religion
In this message, Pastor Scott Engebretson tackles the "Do It Yourself" (DIY) mentality that often creeps into our spiritual lives. While DIY skills are great for home repairs, Scott argues that they are spiritual "kryptonite" when it comes to our relationship with God. Drawing from Galatians 3, he explores the story of Abraham to show that righteousness has never been something we can manufacture through our own effort or rule-following. Instead, the "B-Side Life" is about coming to the end of our own resources and surrendering to the strength of God. Scott challenges us to stop trying to white-knuckle our way into holiness and instead receive the gift of salvation and the power of the Holy Spirit, which is the only true source of spiritual fruit.

The B-Side Life: The Environment of Fruitfulness
Continuing through the book of Galatians, Pastor Scott Engebretson explores the vital role our environment plays in our spiritual growth. Using the devastating impact of recent freezes on Florida’s citrus crops as a metaphor, Scott explains that just as a physical freeze can destroy fruit, our "spiritual climate" can either nurture or stifle the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Focusing on Galatians 2, he examines how we are justified by faith in Christ rather than by observing the law. Scott challenges the community to consider if they are living in a "freeze" of legalism or self-reliance, and instead invites everyone to cultivate a life of partnership with God—sharing their stories and engaging in ministry—so that the fruits of love, peace, and faithfulness can truly flourish.

Drawing from Galatians 1, Sam warns against the trap of legalism—likening it to someone trying to sell bottled water while standing right next to a flowing river. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit's power at Pentecost wasn't just for a one-time encounter, but to form lasting fruit in our lives. Sam challenges the "man’s gospel" of trying harder and white-knuckling through life, pointing instead to the "pure gospel" from above that invites us to abide closer, trust deeper, and allow God to produce fruit in us.

Using the analogy of vinyl records, Scott explains that while the "A-Side" represents the polished, popular versions of ourselves we present to the world, the "B-Side" is where the raw, authentic, and soulful work of the Holy Spirit happens. Exploring Galatians 1, Scott addresses the "perverted gospel" of legalism—the idea that we can manufacture spiritual fruit by simply following rules. He argues that true transformation isn't about human effort or religious performance, but about the "B-Side" reality of Jesus: crucified, risen, and sending His Spirit to do in us what we cannot do for ourselves.

Scott contrasts the "simulated wonder" of illusions—like those performed by magician Harris III—with the tangible, historical truth of the empty tomb in Luke 24. He challenges the idea that the Resurrection is merely a metaphor or a "beautiful story," arguing instead that because Jesus is physically alive, we are invited to participate in a new future. Scott encourages us to stop spending our "what ifs" on the regrets of the past and start spending them on the possibilities of a life lived with the Risen Christ—a life of wonder and eternal significance that begins right now.

In this installment of the "Participating" series, Pastor Scott Engebretson tackles our cultural aversion to waiting. Drawing from Jason Farman’s Delayed Response, Scott notes that in our world of instant gratification, we often view waiting as "dead time." However, looking at the transition from the suffering of Holy Week to the hope of the Resurrection, he argues that waiting is actually a sacred space where God works. Exploring Romans 8:22–27, Scott discusses how the Holy Spirit participates in our lives by interceding for us with "wordless groans" when we are at our weakest. He invites the community to stop avoiding the "weight" of their vulnerabilities and instead allow Jesus—the Lamb who still carries his scars—to meet them in their waiting and redeem their pain.

Drawing from Matthew 27, Scott walks through the harrowing details of Jesus’ mockery and crucifixion, inviting the community to look closely at the "Man of Sorrows." He explores the difficult prayer of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:10—the desire to know Christ not only in the power of His resurrection but also in the "fellowship of His sufferings." Scott reminds us that while we don't seek out pain, identifying with Jesus in our own seasons of grief and weakness is the only path to experiencing true resurrection life.

Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12, Hannah looks at the Apostle Paul’s experience of pleading with God for relief, only to receive the answer: "My grace is sufficient for you." By reflecting on her own season of physical brokenness and the "suffering of God" found in the Lenten journey, she challenges the idea that we must be "fixed" to be useful to the Kingdom. Instead, she invites us to participate in God's grace by re-engaging with our stories and trusting that His power is made perfect not in our competence, but in our weakness.

Using a humorous story about "yak milk" in Nepal to illustrate how we often expect one thing but receive another, Scott dives into the story of Simon of Cyrene from Luke 23. He discusses the reality that the "cross" is often something forced upon us unexpectedly—through grief, health crises, or brokenness—rather than something we choose. Drawing from the prayers of Jesus in Gethsemane, Scott encourages the community to move from "not my will" to "your will be done," reminding us that while we don't choose the moment of our suffering, we can choose to participate in its redeeming power.

Drawing from John 16, Scott explores the inevitable "labor pains" of the world and how Jesus prepares his disciples for the trouble ahead. He highlights three ways we are called to participate when life gets hard: by waiting faithfully, by weeping and mourning honestly rather than bypassing pain, and by resisting the urge to scatter or isolate. Ultimately, Scott reminds us that because Jesus has overcome the world, we never have to navigate our physical, spiritual, or emotional troubles alone.

Using the story of Jesus in the wilderness from Luke 4:1-13, Scott highlights how the enemy targets our most basic needs, our desire for protection, and our hunger for power. He explores how Jesus resisted these temptations not through sheer willpower, but by being led by the Spirit and anchored in Scripture. Scott invites the community to participate in the new life Jesus offers—reminding us that while the enemy tempted Jesus to throw Himself down for show, Jesus chose to lay Himself down in Jerusalem to seek and save the lost.

Using the analogy of "You Are Here" maps found in malls and airports, Scott highlights the importance of spiritual orientation. He shares a personal conviction that God is inviting Northwest Vineyard into a season of deeper intimacy through prayer. Exploring Luke 11:1-13, Scott breaks down the Lord’s Prayer not just as words to recite, but as a framework for honoring God as Father, Provider, and Forgiver. As the church prepares to transition into the season of Lent, listeners are challenged to cultivate a persistent hunger for God’s presence, remembering that no person is greater than their prayer life.
