New Year's Day: Why Do We Church? (January 1, 2024)

Join us for a special New Year’s Day Steadfast broadcast we wrap up the journey through John 6 that we’ve been taking over Advent during our Sunday night series. Jim presents us with an important question: why do we want to do what we do at church?

• This week is a special crossover from our Sunday Series, Who Came Down?.

Christmas 2023: Let All Mortal Flesh Spread Joy (December 25, 2023)

Join us for a special Christmas Day Steadfast broadcast beginning our journey for the 12 Days of Christmas. We will celebrate the gift of Christmas and all that follows from it.

More than Melted Snow (December 18, 2023)

When we see where God is actually headed with all of us, He equips us to run from “Fake Jesuses” and towards the true Jesus and His victory.

The Casaba Melon Church (November 12, 2023)

Rules, hypocrisy, conflict—those are the words people most often reach for when they describe the church, and if we’re honest, we’ve sometimes given them reason to. Galatians 5 doesn’t flinch from that indictment; it sets the works of the flesh against a vision of the church so different, so beautiful, that it could only come from one source.

Yellow Jackets or Carpenter Bees? (September 24, 2023)

Punching Holes, Avoiding Swine (September 10, 2023)

Jesus calls us to a path of healthy sharing of His Kingdom led by discernment and patience.

What happens when the rain comes in and it felt like we were following God’s call?

Be a Pickle Jar (August 21, 2023)

As the body, we’re called to show God’s mercy. Can the world see it?

The Thing Between Us: A Dismissive Devil

Do you feel like your feelings and opinions are often dismissed in your relationships? If so, you’re not alone. Dismissiveness is a common way that the devil tries to ruin relationships. We discusses how to identify and deal with dismissiveness in your relationships. Even when the world dismisses us, God does not. The cross of Jesus is an emphatic statement that we matter, but importantly we matter to God.

When the Lights Go Out (July 30, 2023)

Most of us know what it feels like to start strong in our faith and then quietly fizzle out from that initial strength — and the churches in Revelation 2–3 knew that feeling, too. As Jesus responds to them with a reward for the one who “conquers,” what does conquering look like for ordinary, fizzle-prone people like us?
