    The Gospel Series | Part 4 | The Wonder of the Gospel with Erinn Urena

    In this episode of Around the Table, Erinn Urena invites us to rediscover the awe, beauty, and transforming power of the gospel. The good news is more than a familiar story or a message about getting into heaven—it is the announcement that Jesus is King, the victory has been won, and everything has changed. Through Scripture, reflection, and honest questions, Erinn challenges us to consider whether we have become too comfortable with the gospel or lost our sense of wonder. When we truly encounter the kindness, sacrifice, resurrection, and ongoing presence of Jesus, our natural response is to repent, believe, follow, and surrender every area of our lives to Him. The gospel is not simply information—it is the invasion of heaven into our lives. It moves, heals, restores, frees the captive, brings sight to the blind, and sends us into the world to reveal the kindness of God through encouragement, generosity, service, and love. May we never lose our wonder. May we live each day aware of His presence, moved by His goodness, and ready to carry the reality of heaven into the lives of those around us. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 02:00 Theme Wonder of Gospel 02:49 What Is the Gospel 03:28 Saved and Still Saving 05:23 Good News Is Jesus 07:58 Repent Believe Follow 10:56 Moved by Cross and Tomb 16:13 Kingdom at Hand 18:04 Isaiah 61 in Action 20:25 Meditation and Focus 24:57 Ceiling and Community 27:28 Rome Versus Kindness 31:26 Facets and Wonder 34:49 Heart Check Questions 37:40 Practical Kindness Steps 40:22 Reflection and Worship 42:30 Weekly Charge and Prayer Check out more about The Porch here: www.theporchny.com Support The Porch as we serve our city and beyond here: https://givebutter.com/xIPrFj

    The Gospel Series | Part 3 | The Pierced Side & The Bride w/ Jay Urena

    What was Jesus doing in the silence between the cross and the resurrection? In this episode of Around the Table, we sit in the tension of Holy Saturday and uncover the beautiful story of the Bridegroom and His bride. From Adam’s opened side in Genesis to the pierced side of Jesus on the cross, we see that Easter was not only about defeating death. It was about bringing His bride to life. The price was paid at the cross. The covenant was sealed in the resurrection. And when Jesus breathed His Spirit upon His disciples, He commissioned His bride to carry His life, represent His heart, and continue His work in the world. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. You have been chosen, purchased, filled, and sent. 00:00 Silent Reflection Prayer 03:16 Why Saturday Matters 05:40 Genesis Bride Blueprint 09:02 Pierced Side Births Bride 14:25 Resurrection Seals Covenant 21:53 Upper Room Breath 27:49 Great Commission Partnering 31:47 Group Discussion Bride Identity 37:28 Activate Cards Practical Steps 38:36 Closing Prayer Sending

    Gospel Series | Part 2 | Come & See w/ Rachel Stalker

    In this powerful House Church gathering, Rachel Stalker invites us into the deeper call of the Gospel—not just to believe it, but to follow Jesus wherever He leads. Building from the invitation of Jesus in John 1 to “come and see,” Rachel walks through the journey of surrender, discipleship, and perspective-shifting faith. This episode challenges us to ask honest questions: What am I seeking? Will I follow Jesus even when it doesn’t look the way I expected? Do I love Him enough to keep saying yes? Through Scripture, reflection, and a call into deeper waters, Rachel reminds us that the Gospel is not just an answer we hold—it is a Person we follow. Come sit with us as we explore what it means to surrender our stumbling blocks, follow the Rabbi, and step into the deeper life Jesus is inviting us into. 00:00 Opening Prayer 01:31 Gospel Victory Recap 03:15 Signs Wisdom Stumbling 07:38 What Are You Seeking 11:23 Naming False Gospels 14:11 Surrender And Follow 16:58 Come And See John 1 22:39 King And Lamb Tension 26:27 Deeper Roots Ongoing 29:11 Are You Really King 31:32 John Needs Gospel 33:04 Peter Declares Christ 34:52 Rebuking the Cross 36:59 Follow Me to Death 38:29 Denial and Restoration 41:26 Love and Obedience 43:31 Naming What You Seek 44:51 Breaking the Self-Protection Lie 49:23 Surrender and Listen 51:54 Closing Prayer for Depth

    The Gospel Series | Part 1 | The Power of the Gospel w/ Russ Alder

    In this first episode of Around the Table, Russ unpacks the Gospel as more than a message to believe—it is the very power of God that brings us out of sin, death, striving, and heaviness, and into the abundant life of the Kingdom. Through Scripture, testimony, and a passionate call to experience the presence of God, this conversation invites us to see salvation not just as forgiveness, but as transformation: becoming sons and daughters of God, filled with His Spirit, renewed by His grace, and awakened to the life Jesus made available to us. Join us as we explore the “too-good-to-believe” good news of Jesus, the reality of Zoe life, and the invitation to walk in freedom, righteousness, peace, and the overflowing presence of God.  00:00 Why Jesus Came 01:51 Born Again Kingdom Life 02:24 Power of the Gospel 04:43 Heaven Invading Iran 07:05 Zoe Life and Revelation 08:53 Rhema Words Wash You 10:44 Goodness Leads Repentance 13:24 Identity and Inheritance 17:28 Riches of Love and Glory 23:01 Reconciled One Spirit 27:15 Seated and Reigning 30:00 Grace Through the Ages 30:58 Worthy by the Blood 32:00 Salvation Includes Healing 32:57 Inheritance Within You 34:24 God’s Ongoing Workmanship 37:45 Paths Prepared for You 39:02 Living the Good Zoe Life 41:10 Come to Jesus for Rest 44:57 Yoked Up Like Horses 46:32 Miracle Stories of Revivalists 52:47 Abundant Life of the Kingdom 54:58 Grace Reigns Over Sin 56:59 Final Prayer and Amen

    Welcome Around The Table

    Welcome to Around the Table, a new discipleship podcast from The Porch launching July 6th. In this short intro episode, we share the heart behind Around the Table and cast vision for what this podcast is all about: creating space for teachings, Bible studies, House Church messages, and meaningful conversations that help us become more deeply formed in the way of Jesus. This podcast exists to help believers shape their worldview around Christ, understand Scripture more faithfully, recover their identity as followers of Jesus, and engage in conversations that challenge the status quo of cultural Christianity. At The Porch, we believe discipleship doesn’t just happen in rows — it happens around tables. So whether you’re listening in your car, at home, on a walk, or with your community, we invite you to pull up a chair and join us as we learn, wrestle, grow, and follow Jesus together. Subscribe now on your favorite podcast platform, and follow The Porch on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for more content, including Sacred & Strange, live House Church every Saturday night, and more.
