    Your Need Is My Concern: The Spirit-Led Church in Acts | The CLC Commute

    In this launch episode of the new series “The Gospel on the Move,” Pastor Grant Roe kicks off a journey through the Book of Acts. He shows how the ministry of Jesus didn’t end with His ascension but multiplied through the Holy Spirit poured out on the early church — and how we’re invited into that same story today. This week’s message highlights the powerful unity of heart and mind in the early church, their radical Spirit-led generosity (selling lands and homes to meet needs), and the importance of seeing potential where others see problems. The conversation features the inspiring example of Barnabas, who took bold steps of faith and believed in people others had written off — ultimately unlocking the ministry of the Apostle Paul. A timely and practical call to move from self-focused living to Spirit-empowered generosity, unity, and bold faith as we carry forward the ministry of Jesus.

    The Father’s Embrace: What Happens When the Spirit Fills You | The CLC Commute

    In this special Pentecost Sunday episode of the CLC Commute, Pastor Grant Roe concludes the “Wind and Fire” series with a powerful message on being filled with the Holy Spirit. He walks through why we need this filling, who can receive it, what happens when we are filled, and how we can experience it — beginning with Jesus’ own baptism where the Father declares His love before any ministry begins. The conversation explores the difference between the Holy Spirit indwelling us at salvation and being continually filled, the importance of not grieving or quenching the Spirit, and how an encounter with the Holy Spirit often brings an overwhelming awareness of the Father’s love. Pastor Grant also addresses spiritual gifts like tongues as a possible “love language” from God and invites listeners to ask the Holy Spirit to fill them afresh. A practical, encouraging, and Spirit-filled conversation about living in ongoing power and intimacy with God. Sermon Study Guide: https://page.church.tech/ab50d462

    Pruned to Produce: Living the Abiding Life | The CLC Commute

    In this special Mother’s Day episode of the CLC Commute, Pastor Afsaneh Roe continues the “Wind and Fire” series with a powerful message from John 15 on the Vine and the Branches. She unpacks Jesus’ invitation to abide in Him — not through passive proximity or religious activity, but through active, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit.Using the beautiful metaphor of the vineyard, Pastor Afsaneh explores what true fruitfulness looks like, the necessary process of pruning, and how the Holy Spirit produces lasting fruit in our lives (love, joy, peace, patience, etc.) as we remain connected to the Vine. The conversation challenges us to move beyond striving in our own strength and instead trust the Father’s pruning, lean into deeper fellowship with Jesus, and allow the Spirit to transform us from the inside out.A timely and practical message about what it really means to walk with the Holy Spirit every day!Sermon Study Guide: https://page.church.tech/95999af8

    Batteries Included: Living Life in the Power of the Holy Spirit | The CLC Commute

    In this episode of the CLC Commute, Pastor Grant Roe kicks off a new series leading up to Pentecost Sunday by unpacking the vital role of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life. Using the analogy of a powerful toy with no batteries, he explains that the Christian life comes with “batteries included” — the Holy Spirit empowers us to live the lofty vision of the Kingdom and the Sermon on the Mount.The conversation draws rich parallels between the fire at Mount Sinai in the Old Covenant and the flames of Pentecost in the New Covenant, showing how the Holy Spirit shifts us from external law to internal empowerment. Pastor Grant highlights how the Spirit is poured out on all people — breaking barriers of geography, gender, generations, and genetics — and is not reserved for the morally perfect, but for the sincerely repentant. The episode closes with the beautiful historic prayer “Come Holy Spirit” (Veni Sancte Spiritus).A practical and inspiring conversation about living a Spirit-empowered life every day.Sermon Study Guide: https://page.church.tech/7b05b2b1

    Restoring Relationships in New Creation | The CLC Commute

    In this episode of the CLC Commute, we reflect on Pastor Steve’s message from the “New Creation” series, focusing on Jesus’ powerful post-resurrection appearance to the fearful disciples hiding behind locked doors in John 20. Jesus enters the room, speaks “Peace be with you,” shows them His hands and feet, eats with them, and then entrusts them with the central message of the early church: the forgiveness of sins for all who repent.The conversation explores why forgiveness was the core message Jesus gave His followers, how true peace is the presence of God’s sufficiency in the midst of trouble, and the vital role of the Holy Spirit as our Helper, Guide, and Advocate who empowers us to both receive and extend forgiveness. Pastor Steve shares personally how the Holy Spirit prompted him toward reconciliation, emphasizing that Satan wants to convince us we can live without restored relationships — when one of the greatest gifts in the body of Christ is one another.A practical and encouraging discussion about allowing Jesus to speak peace into our emotional storms, responding to the Holy Spirit’s nudges toward forgiveness and reconciliation, and living at peace with others as much as it depends on us.Sermon Study Guide: https://page.church.tech/93696a66

    From Wandering to Rooted: Living the New Creation Life | The CLC Commute

    In this episode of the CLC Commute, we continue reflecting on Pastor Grant Roe’s “New Creation” sermon series with a conversation focused on the Road to Emmaus story in Luke 24. Pastor Grant unpacks how Jesus’ resurrection restores to us the original identity and assignment given in Eden — to bear God’s image, find our place in Him, and cultivate goodness, order, and beauty in the corner of the world we’ve been entrusted with.The discussion explores powerful themes: how work becomes an act of worship, the removal of the sacred-secular divide, the role of the Holy Spirit in restoring Eden through us, and the importance of being rooted in Christ before stepping into community. It challenges us to move from a “hunker down until Jesus returns” mindset to actively participating in God’s “all things new” project — starting with the transformation of the human heart and extending outward for the common good.A rich, practical conversation about living with renewed purpose, seeing every ordinary moment as sacred, and partnering with the Holy Spirit to cultivate new creation today.

    The Resurrection Reverses Everything | The CLC Commute

    This post-Easter conversation explores how Jesus’ resurrection doesn’t just promise future heaven — it launches God’s new creation project right now, inviting us to participate in it today. Drawing beautiful parallels between the Road to Emmaus story in Luke 24 and the creation/fall narrative in Genesis, they show how the resurrection reverses the curse of the garden: where Adam and Eve’s eyes were opened to shame and sin, the disciples’ eyes are opened to grace and redemption. Instead of hiding in shame, they run to share the good news. The discussion reminds us that we no longer have to live with sin as our primary reference point — because we are now in Christ, God gives us a whole new reference point!Sermon Study Guide: https://page.church.tech/2fb310ce

    The Rosetta Stone of Faith: Why the Resurrection Changes Everything | The CLC Commute

    On this special Easter episode of the CLC Commute, Pastor Grant unpacks the power of Christ’s resurrection using the powerful analogy of the Rosetta Stone. Just as the Rosetta Stone unlocked the meaning of ancient hieroglyphics, the resurrection serves as the missing link that makes sense of the cross, Jesus’ teachings, and the entire story of redemption.If Jesus had not risen from the dead, the cross would have been a meaningless tragedy, suffering would remain hopeless, and death would have the final word. But because He defeated sin, death, and the grave, everything is reversed: the cross becomes the ultimate display of self-giving love, suffering is redeemed with hope, and death is no longer the end.This conversation explores what the resurrection means for us today — how it empowers us to die to anything that hinders love for God or others, and how it invites us into abundant, resurrected life right now. A powerful and timely Easter message you don’t want to miss! Sermon Study Guide: https://page.church.tech/9a310993
