    19/05/2019 Duración: 25min

    In the Harry Potter series JK Rawling does a great job helping us see and feel what it is like to experience prejudice and rejection. We meet Lucious Malfoy, the poster child for what the bible calls “the wicked.” But the goal is not to despise fictitious characters like Lucius Malfoy, the goal is to be able to see the Lucius Malfoy in us. Today we compare the way of the world to the beautiful, life giving way of Jesus, and what it is like to be part of the fellowship of the King.

    12/05/2019 Duración: 29min

    As we kick off our Harry Potter series on Mother’s day, we look at what can learn from the very different parenting styles of three very different mothers. series.

And we encounter Jesus, the ultimate friend who made the ultimate choice: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” – John 15:12-13

  • PALM SUNDAY – a straight path through the thicket of Human Maneuvering – John 12:1-19

    14/04/2019 Duración: 28min

    Does life ever feel like a briar patch to you – like every where you turn you get poked and snagged, and everything is connected, and there seems like no way out ? Does life sometimes look like a thicket – a maze of thorns everywhere you turn? Today we look to Jesus to show us how to live in a life full of thickets. But more than that, we get a mental image that is truly helpful for understanding our relationship with Jesus as the one who makes a way straight through the thicket into the Kingdom of Gd. And we discover that to follow Jesus we must be like warriors and children – both at the same time!

  • Ephesians 6:10-21 Sermon Podcast - Stand your ground.

    07/04/2019 Duración: 32min

    Today Paul tells us to put on spiritual armor because we are in a spiritual battle. Is that really true ? Is there really such a thing as demonic forces ? If so, what is this armor and how do we use it? Paul shows both the cosmic battle and the practical facts on the ground: a big part of loving Jesus is choosing to stand your ground.

  • Ephesians 6:1-9 Sermon Podcast - Children, Servants, and Slaves

    31/03/2019 Duración: 28min

    Today we get some practical advise about parents and children but then we jump into deep waters when Paul addresses the relationship between household slaves and their masters in the ancient world. Why doesn’t Paul take a much stronger stance against the evil of slavery ? Is the bible a source of oppression or the very thing that produces freedom ? We dig into the cultural background, the trajectory of the bible, and Paul’s goals in writing this letter to get the answer. We find ourselves asking the question that every Christian in every age must ask: “Am I living more like the people around me, uncritically accepting the values of my culture, or more like a radical follower of Jesus? Am I truly counter-cultural in my willingness to forgive those who hurt me, love those who are my enemies, and pray for those who persecute me ?”

  • Ephesians 5:21-33 Sermon Podcast - Husbands and Wives

    24/03/2019 Duración: 27min

    Today we look at one of the most debated and difficult sections of scripture. What does Ephesians teach about the roles of husbands and wives ? Is the bible the source of sexism, oppression, and inequality, or is it the source of revolutionary freedom and equality ? Men and women often have a hard time understanding each other, and it is not always clear how we should relate. How can I have the kind of healthy relationship with my significant other that God intended for me to have ?

  • Ephesians 5:1-21 Sermon Podcast - The Darkness, the Wrath, the Light, and the Joy

    17/03/2019 Duración: 28min

    Today Paul challenges us in one of our most personal and private areas – sex. But he does so in a way that is not only challenging but liberating – all based not on archaic rules and regulations, but on a dynamic, joyful present tense relationship with God as our Heavenly Father. God is saying “I know how the world lives, I know how all those around you live, but I am calling YOU to come follow me and live a different way. On this Saint Patrick’s Day Sunday we end with a daily prayer from Patrick that offers hope and promise for the road of life.

  • Ephesians 4 1-16 Sermon Podcast - God's Orchestra

    03/03/2019 Duración: 28min

    There is a cacophony of voices all around us confidently claiming they know the right way to go, telling us that they have life figured out. But there is another sound too. There is the sound of the symphony that God is performing through the orchestra of His people, and it is bringing hope, meaning, mercy, and redemption into the world. Can you hear it ? Are you in the orchestra? Are you pursuing the personal responsibility and spiritual maturity that allows you to be a part of the unfolding of the Kingdom of God here and now ? Today we study an incredibly important section of the New Testament and learn what it means to finally grow up.

  • Ephesians 3:1-13 Sermon Podcast - For This Reason...

    17/02/2019 Duración: 26min

  • Ephesians 2:11-22 Sermon Podcast - The sin of "Those People-ism"

    10/02/2019 Duración: 28min

    Today we look at the good news of the gospel … but it ends up forcing us to take a hard look inside ourselves. The current raging debate in the U.S. over a southern border wall reveals the bigotry of both the political right and the political left. It reveals the bigotry in me, and that is not a comfortable thing to experience. This podcast will not be easy, but we hope it will get people of all political persuasions to reflect on their own temptations to see people as guilty by association, to reduce them to nothing more than a totem for “Those People.” We look at when walls and tribes are good, and when walls and tribes become bad. We dig into what Paul meant by the “dividing wall of hostility” and the incredibly good news that Jesus went to the cross not only to pay for our personal sins, but to reconcile us the clans we are tempted to despise as “those people.”

  • Ephesians 2:1-10 Sermon Podcast - That was then, This is now

    03/02/2019 Duración: 30min

    Today we encounter some of the most crucial and famous verses of the New Testament, verses that helped give birth to the Reformation. Paul tell us that we “have been saved by faith not by works”, but he also tells us that we are “God’s workmanship created for good works.” How do these two things go together? This morning we dig into the basics of the Christian faith but we also discover the message hidden in plain site – why church sanctuaries look the way they do, and what sitting in a church was supposed to tell us.

  • Ephesians 1:15-24 Sermon Podcast - Learning to pray like Paul

    27/01/2019 Duración: 28min

    In all the ages of human history, in all locations in the world, there is one place that does not resolve, there is one place where there is an unfathomable mystery, like an infinite well, and that place is the person known as Jesus. Today Paul helps us catch a glimpse of the actual nature of Jesus and then models for us a way to pray. We often pray for our circumstances to change and the scriptures encourage us to do so. But today Paul teaches us an even more important way to pray.

  • Ephesians 1:1-14 Sermon Podcast - The gift of knowing who you are

    20/01/2019 Duración: 33min

    13/01/2019 Duración: 33min

    How do we deal with worries and fears ? We worry about very many things, and each worry is different.

  • Advent Scene 3 - The sign of the Baptist

    16/12/2018 Duración: 29min

    We are told that the first Christmas is about “good news of great joy”, but the truth is a lot of people missed it, lots of folks never encounter it. It is God’s idea that we have prepare ourselves for the coming of the Messiah so that we have eyes to see him when he actually comes. John the Baptist tells us exactly how to do this. What he tells us does not exactly sound Christmassy – it is not exactly tinsel and gingerbread men. It turns out that rebuke and salvation always go hand in hand. Join us as we find out how “Tidings of Comfort and Joy” are only for those who remember that “Christ our savior was born on Christmas day – to save us all from Satan’s power when we had gone astray…”

  • Advent Scene 2 - The Sign of the Prophet

    09/12/2018 Duración: 27min

    “Therefore the LORD himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” Is there really such a thing as revelation and prophesy ? Does the Old Testament really prophesy that Jesus is the Messiah, or do the New Testament writers take the Old Testament out of context ? Join us for a fascinating journey that spans from the politics of 750 B.C., past Handel’s Messiah, right up to our very lives, as we learn how to interpret Old Testament prophesies. See the four images of prophecy at http://levpres.org/sermons/advent-scene-2-the-sign-of-the-prophet/

  • Advent Scene 1 - The sign of the star

    02/12/2018 Duración: 21min

    This Advent we look at four signs that declared that the Messiah really was to come on the first Christmas morning. This morning we look at the story of the Wisemen and the Star of Bethlehem. Is this story just a cute myth for children that has nothing to do with the actual history of the world ? Why would a Jewish author writing to a Jewish audience make pagan astrologers from Babylon the heroes of his story ? How could a “star” stand in one place over Bethlehem when we know that comets and planets move ? Recent scientific discoveries released just this month imply that there is much stronger connection between bible stories and cosmology than we realized. Join us for a fascinating journey into the story of the Wisemen!
