An introduction to our new series “The Revealed Jesus” where we will together explore the question, “Who is Jesus?” as we work through the Gospel of Mark.

Redeemer | Easter Service Part 2 | Wilson Bento 29:11

6d ago29:11

For this Easter, we reflect on the passage of Revelation 5:9-10. In this song, God’s creation and people worship the Lamb of God, Jesus, for his willingness to give up his life in order to ransom a people for God. We see how the passage invites us today to place God at the center of our lives, to see Jesus as the Lamb of God who redeems us, to live…

Easter Oratorio: closing chorus (BWV 249.11) 18:44

7d ago18:44

18:44

"Complex" is Bach's default setting. On this 300th anniversary of the Easter Oratorio, which was premiered in Leipzig on Easter Sunday 1725, we talk about duet recitatives, recorders and bassoons (shout out to Benny Aghassi), and Bach's marvelous trumpet writing. See the performance of the Easter Oratorio here, by the Netherlands Bach Society, cond…

Easter Sunday 29:30

8d ago29:30

29:30

Are we seeking Jesus among the dead or among the living?If we truly look for Him among the living, we must believe in the resurrected Christ and embrace the hope His resurrection brings. His victory over death is not merely a historical event—it is a present and living reality. Through His resurrection, we are invited into new life; we become a new…

This episode starts a series around understanding teams events. We focus on team composition and what army archetypes usually form a a 5v5 or 8v8 team. We will try to provide some examples for each archetype and to explain how such a tool set can be used to the team's advantage in the pairings process…

St. John Passion: "Mein teurer Heiland" bass aria and chorale (BWV 245.32) 25:55

14d ago25:55

25:55

After witnessing Christ's death, we experience a frozen scene -- an aria -- which is a space for reflection that Bach so often gives us in his cantatas and passions. But this time we also experience some harsh tonal whiplash as first we hear Christ's head falling in death, then a dancing, hopeful aria. This aria with interspersed chorale is filled …

God, the restorer of life | Matt Simmonds 33:24

In this final message of our series on Ruth, we turn to the last chapter—but to fully grasp it, we first revisit the beginning. Naomi’s journey begins in deep emptiness: socially, naturally, and personally. Yet through the steadfast love of God, that emptiness is transformed into fullness. This story ultimately points us to Jesus—the one who meets …

In this week's sermon, we continue our series through the book of Ruth. In this last chapter, we take a closer look at how Boaz is living out lovingkindness. What does he do in this passage, and why? And how could we apply this truth as as we navigate everyday circumstances? Finally, the sermon points to Christ, the greater Redeemer, who impersonat…

Story Secrets - What The Predator Gets Wrong About Autism 15:28

21d ago15:28

15:28

The other day I watched The Predator—not the classic one with Schwarzenegger, but the confusing 2018 sequel that somehow ended up in my Netflix queue. The film tries to tackle neurodiversity, with a young autistic boy at the heart of the story. Tries... and mostly fails. The kid is smart, often overwhelmed, and largely misunderstood by the adults a…

St. John Passion: "Es ist vollbracht" alto aria (BWV 245.30) 29:31

21d ago29:31

29:31

"It is finished." This falling melody, sung by Christ at the moment of His death, is followed by the pivotal alto aria "Es ist vollbracht". We explore the musical texture, the dramatic contrasts, the foreshadowing of the "vivace" middle section, and the way that silence can speak louder than words or music. We also uncover a truth about the word "f…

Extravagant Love 17:45

22d ago17:45

17:45

Mary’s anointing of Jesus was a beautiful, voluntary act of love and devotion, done in recognition of who He was and the preciousness of the moment. While others focused on practical concerns, Mary gave her best to Jesus, filling the house—and His heart—with the fragrance of her love. Her example reminds us that true service flows from sincere love…

Lovingkindness, Rest and Redemption 44:11

28d ago44:11

44:11

Life can leave us longing for rest—physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. In Ruth 3, Naomi seeks rest for Ruth by guiding her toward Boaz, their kinsman-redeemer. Ruth takes a bold step, asking Boaz to "spread his wings" over her, symbolizing protection and provision. Boaz, a man of integrity, responds with kindness and a promise to act…

Goldberg Variations: 25 (the "Black Pearl") 18:54

Why, at number 25 of 30 variations mostly in sunny G major, is here one of the most profoundly sad things he ever wrote? This one gets at something deep. He certainly knew suffering; was it his personal experience? Bach's full range of expressions is at play in the Goldberg Variations, here including sorrow. Dubbed the "Black Pearl" by keyboardist …

Lost and Found 40:48

29d ago40:48

40:48

The Bible is full of stories about God seeking the lost. When Adam and Eve hid in fear after committing sin, God came searching for them. Since then, God has continued to seek out His lost children. “Lost and Found” is an important theme in the Gospel of Luke. Early in the gospel, Mary and Joseph thought they had lost Jesus during their pilgrimage …

17:13

Have you ever wondered why some of your favorite movies feel so authentic, even when you know it’s all make-believe? Take Titanic, for example. Part of what made the acting feel so real was the genuine fear of the actors and extras filming scenes in massive water tanks, with entire sections of the ship tilting and throwing them into the water. Talk…

Fake Faith, Real Consequences | David Schnitter 43:40

Many claim Christianity but lack a transformed heart. James 2:19 warns that even demons believe in God—but they aren’t saved. The Kingdom of God is growing, but like wheat and weeds or a fishing net, true believers and false ones will be revealed in time. In this sermon, we tackle three statements for those claiming to be Christians: “I’m a good pe…

Sermon – March 23 , 2025 When we face difficulties, we question God. Whenever disaster strikes the world, many ask, “Where is God?” The question people seek answers to is: “Where is God when it hurts?” Such a question carries many assumptions, two of which are particularly common: 1. Is God failing in His duty to protect His people? Despite our dis…
