What is Repentance?

Repentance isn’t about guilt—it’s about realignment. In this episode, Joey shares how true repentance means turning our hearts back to Jesus and allowing God to rebuild what’s broken. Drawing from Paul, Nehemiah, and John the Baptist, we see that complaining and confessing may look similar but lead in opposite directions—one toward bitterness, the other toward transformation. Repentance is not something we manufacture; it’s a gift God grants that leads us to truth, joy, and freedom. Rebuilding, restoration, rebirth, renewal only come through repentance. When God’s people repent, heaven rejoices, hearts are restored, ruins become revival. Let’s rebuild together—by repenting together. Write your own prayer of repentance this week—recognizing God’s faithfulness, your need for renewal, and your desire to return fully to His way. Bring it into your community, and watch what God rebuilds through repentance.

Lordship builds family

Jesus Is Lord — Over Our Families and Our Church When Jesus is truly Lord, everything else falls into place—our relationships heal, our community grows, and our lives start to look like His. God is building us into a spiritual family where His Spirit dwells. Our love, forgiveness, and hospitality reveal who’s really in charge of our lives. Let’s keep choosing faithfulness, family, and Lordship together. Scriptures: John 1:12–13, Psalm 16:2–3, Matthew 16:15–18, Ephesians 2:19–22, 1 John 4:20–21, Malachi 4:2, 5–6, Luke 1:17

What does it mean to confess Jesus is Lord?

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to confess “Jesus is Lord.” From the opening words of John 1:1–13, we see the eternal Word who brings light into darkness and gives new birth to those who receive Him. Though the world often fails to recognize or receive Jesus (John 1:10–11), those who believe in His name are given “the right to become children of God” (John 1:12–13). This new birth—“born of God”—is more than a private belief; it’s a public declaration of allegiance to King Jesus (Romans 10:9). As we walk through Scripture—from John 3:5 to Titus 3:5 and Isaiah 43:16–21—we’ll see how God is still doing a new thing: forming a new people who recognize, receive, and reflect His Lordship in every part of life. When Jesus is Lord, everything else falls into place—our time, our relationships, our finances, and our fears. God is making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Are you ready for Him to do a new thing in you?

What does it mean to be baptized for forgiveness of sins?

Apologies for clicking in background technical error* Forgiveness is one of the deepest needs of the human heart—and one of the greatest gifts God offers us in Christ. But what does it mean to actually receive forgiveness? And how is baptism connected to that? In this episode, we explore one of the most mind-blowing moments in the Gospels: when Jesus forgave a paralyzed man’s sins before healing him. We’ll see how this shocked the religious leaders, disappointed some, and amazed the crowds. Along the way, we’ll consider why only God can forgive sins, why baptism is such a beautiful gift, and why it’s more than just a ritual—it’s a moment of new birth, healing, and allegiance to King Jesus. Whether you’re wondering if baptism is really necessary, or you’ve already been baptized and need your heart reawakened to its beauty and power, this message will help you see forgiveness for what it is: life-changing, eternity-shaping, and the greatest miracle of all.

Why is new birth necessary?

In this episode, we explore why the new birth is necessary in a world fractured by fear, violence, and division. Paul’s words in Romans 2 expose four common excuses that keep us from true transformation: 1. “I know some sinners” – but judging others only condemns us too (Romans 2:1–3). 2. “The life I enjoy” – blessings are not proof of goodness; God’s kindness is meant to lead us to repentance (Romans 2:4–6). 3. “The morals I have” – knowing right from wrong isn’t enough; only a new heart can save (Romans 2:13–15). 4. “The Scriptures I’ve learned” – it’s not knowledge but obedience that matters (James 1:22; Romans 2:17–24). The gospel offers more than moral reform or political solutions—it offers resurrection life. Through baptism, we are reborn into Christ, empowered to live with humility, forgiveness, and hope. Personal rebirth leads to church renewal, which can spark national transformation, in that order.

Intentionally organic discipleship

In this episode we dive into the heart of discipleship. Why do we disciple? For Jesus (Colossians 1:28–29). How do we disciple? With the Word (Ephesians 5:25–27). What does it look like? Intentionally organic (John 15:1–5). Relational discipleship, rooted in God’s Word, in context of the local church is God’s plan A for transformation. 📖 Scripture References: Ephesians 4:15 Colossians 1:28–29 Ephesians 5:25–27 John 15:1–5 Genesis 3:17–19 Proverbs 24:30–31 Mark 4:18–19 Hebrews 3:12 Hebrews 12:15 1 Thessalonians 5:15 Romans 15:14 Video on contexts of discipleship: https://youtu.be/XycAU5NjRX0 Bringing up baby (how we treat the bride of Christ) clip: https://youtu.be/BVrZAIo3wX4?si=nGCX-ym6gGb9F8Td

CONVINCED: (How Did We Get Our Bible)?

Why would Paul suffer beatings, shipwrecks, hunger, imprisonment—and still keep going? Because he was convinced the Scriptures came from God. In this episode, we explore what the Bible says about its own origin and how it was passed down through revelation, inspiration, and canonization. From Paul’s letters to Timothy to Peter’s eyewitness account of Christ’s glory, this message walks through how we got the Bible—and why it’s completely reliable. You’ll hear: - Why Paul invited Timothy into a life of suffering for Scripture - What it means that “all Scripture is God-breathed” - How eyewitness testimony, manuscript evidence, and early church history affirm the Bible’s trustworthiness - Why “this book is made in heaven, not made up” is more than a catchy phrase—it’s a call to live by it Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or already convinced, this episode will strengthen your confidence in the Word and challenge you to live a life shaped by it.

How do we interpret the Bible?

In this sermon, we explore one of the most essential—but often overlooked—questions in the Christian life: How do we interpret the Bible? Many of us read Scripture regularly, yet struggle to truly listen. We open our Bibles, but our hearts are asleep. And like any relationship, when we stop listening—we start drifting. Drawing from the parable in Luke 16 and warnings in Hebrews 2, we uncover the urgency of paying closer attention to God’s Word. Miracles won’t wake up a heart that ignores Scripture—only a renewed hunger for truth can. But how do we go about truly hearing God’s voice in the pages of His Word? This sermon breaks it down into three essential steps: Observation – Seeing what’s really there. We learn how to slow down, study the context, and ask key questions of the text without jumping to application too soon. Interpretation – Understanding what it meant to the original audience before asking what it means for us. We wrestle with hard truths, cultural assumptions, and the importance of reading with humility. Application – Living out what we’ve learned. True interpretation isn’t complete until we obey—and this obedience is our love language to God. 📖 Whether you’re a new believer or seasoned disciple, this episode challenges you to pick up your Bible with fresh eyes and a responsive heart.
