    Living Stones in 1 Peter: How Jesus the Cornerstone Builds a United Church Community

You’ll hear why unity doesn’t mean uniformity, how good traditions can quietly become distractions, and how Spirit-led community makes God’s presence visible to the world through love, obedience, and mercy.

Whether you're facing hardship or wrestling with your identity as a follower of Jesus, this episode sets the stage for a rich journey through First Peter, offering encouragement, insight, and a reminder of who you are in Christ

    Christmas Hope in a Broken World | Matthew 2, Herod, and the Return of the King

In this episode of the Sermon Notes Podcast, Jay Strother and Brian Ball walk through Matthew 2 to explore Herod’s violence, Mary and Joseph’s costly obedience, and the clash of kingdoms surrounding Jesus’ birth. Rather than avoiding suffering and lament, Matthew shows us a deeper Christmas hope: the true King has come, God is with us in the darkness, and evil will not have the final word.

    Matthew 1:18–25 – Joseph, the Virgin Birth, and God With Us

    What really happened in Matthew 1:18–25, and why does Joseph’s quiet “yes” still matter today? In this episode of the Sermon Notes Podcast, Jay Strother and Brian Ball walk through Joseph’s world—an honor–shame culture, an unexpected pregnancy, and an angelic dream that upended his settled plans. Together they unpack Joseph and the virgin birth, the fulfillment of Isaiah’s Emmanuel prophecy, and the mystery of Jesus as fully God and fully man. Along the way, they talk about wonder in an age of instant answers, ordinary obedience that changes history, and what it means to start each day saying, “Lord, I’m still here—what do You want me to do today?”
