Flash Theology Part 2 (God is Holy) Pastor Amy Elliott

May 14, 2023

God is holy; right? But what does that mean? Beyond the jargon, there is an important truth for us. Here we talk about how God makes us holy–wholly devoted to him, practically, personally, and even within our homes and families.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see our homes as a sacred space where people can encounter God
2. Encouraged to make God’s holiness real and relevant in our homes

Flash Theology Part 1 (God Is Love) Pastor Markus Witherspoon

May 7, 2023

Every Christian denomination has a belief statement that all agree on this: God is Trinity. Many of us, if we are honest, believe in the Trinity but have no idea what that means. What is God? It is an important question because What God IS will influence how we interact with him. After all: the most important thing about us is what we think and believe to be true about God.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see God is love because God is relational

2. Encouraged to see how God wants to include us in his world-reconciling plan

On Earth As It Is In Heaven Pt. 4 (The Kingdom Mobilized) Pastor Brooks Fuller

Apr 30, 2023

"Is it time?" Just imagine how the 120+ disciples felt as they became witnesses of the resurrected Jesus. Their hearts were reborn with a living hope. And now, they were ready to tell EVERYONE. And yet, the risen Lord tells them something perplexing: "Wait." Wait? Why? Jesus tells them to wait for God’s promise to come true, for his believers to be given the power to fulfill their purpose on earth as in heaven, and that is what we explore in this week’s message!

 

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to not diminish the power the Holy Spirit offers us

2. Encouraged to see Pentecost as relevant for us today

On Earth As It Is In Heaven Pt. 3 (The Kingdom Prayer) Pastor Markus Witherspoon

Apr 23, 2023

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…” I am sure many of us can fill in the rest of the words. The prayer Jesus gave us (often referred to as the “Lord’s Prayer”) is a powerful tool to connect us with God while also seeing his hand in our life. Here we see how this prayer, although succinct and simple, has the power to bring our heavenly Father’s help to us right where we are. 

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to invite God’s will into your heart, home, and habits

2. Encouraged to see God’s power over the things that try to tempt you away from his plan

On Earth As It Is In Heaven Pt. 2 (The Kingdom’s Citizens) Pastor Markus Witherspoon

Apr 16, 2023

 

When the ministry of Jesus was gaining traction, all the people following him were eager to hear what the culture of his ministry would be like. Jesus then delivers his famous Sermon on the Mount" and tells us what the culture of his kingdom is like. If we lean in, then it will both surprise and inspire us! 

As you listen in, you will be: 

1. Challenged to see ourselves as influencers of culture because of our faith in Jesus 
2. Encouraged to bring God’s “flavor” into the world

On Earth As It Is In Heaven Pt. 1 (Easter 2023 at Newbreak Church) Pastor Markus Witherspoon

Apr 9, 2023

This Easter weekend, we celebrate how the resurrection of Jesus launches God’s plan to bring heaven to earth!

As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to allow Jesus to open your eyes to see that he is alive and reigning as king
2. Encouraged to see how Easter rewrites human history and my history

At The Table Pt. 6 (The Greatest At The Table) Pastor Markus Witherspoon

Apr 2, 2023  

What makes someone the greatest? In sports terms, only a few are deemed the “G.O.A.T.” (greatest of all time). Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and so on. Even Christ’s disciples were concerned with this question. How is the greatest? Listen in as Jesus gives an answer that continues to challenge our notions of greatness.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see greatness not as how many serve us but as how we serve others

2. Encouraged to see Jesus as the primary example of greatness

 

At The Table Pt. 5 (Beyond the Table) Pastor Markus Witherspoon

Mar 26, 2023  

We all have a longing to know Jesus–whether we would describe it that way or not. When we encounter Zacchaeus, in Scripture, we find him searching for Jesus. And yet, he soon discovers that Jesus was searching for him. Listen in as we see what happens beyond our encounter with Jesus!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to push past the barriers that keep us from seeing Jesus

2. Encouraged to allow your life to look different as you get closer to Jesus

At The Table Pt. 4 (Fill the House! Crowd the Kingdom!) Pastor Markus Witherspoon and Pastor Kamar Bevil

Mar 19, 2023  

What makes for a great party? Great food and drinks? Great company? Entertainment? Whatever it may be, these images fall short of imagining what God might have in store for his people. Jesus tells a parable about the kingdom of God and compares it to a great feast (aka a party). Lean in as we see how God is inviting us to a party planned from eternity and for eternity!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to not answer “no” for people before inviting them to church 

2. Encouraged to see your role not only as a “guest” but as a “host” of God’s great party

A The Table Pt. 3 (More Than Enough) Pastor Markus Witherspoon

Mar 12, 2023  

Will it be enough? It’s a question many of us have struggled with at one time or another. When it comes to our needs, they aren’t a surprise to God. These obstacles can actually become opportunities for God to reveal who he is. Lean in as we look at what Jesus teaches us in the largest picnic in history!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to bring Jesus what we have instead of worrying about what we lack

2. Encouraged to see that God wants to work miracles in and through us
