After being reminded of God's heart for those who are seen as "lowest and least," Tad visits James 2:1-7 and talks about the importance of loving and valuing people that are typically passed over. He discusses the instruction James gives about not valuing some people over others and also emphasizes that every human, regardless of race, wealth, etc., is valuable.

Jason looks at 2 Timothy 2:20-22 and challenges the church to be clean, to deal with sin so that members may be useable by God. He clarifies some things about what sins to deal with, as well as the relationship between dealing with sin and salvation. Jason also says that the way to walk in holiness is to adopt, by faith, a new identity as a saint and provides some strategies for how to keep from sin. Jason then presents characteristics of a usable person and talks about Isaiah 6, where Isaiah sees Yahweh, is confronted with his sin, is cleansed, and then has a hunger to be used by God.

Pastor Tad Trapp shares an idea that has been on his heart that aligns with the recent focus of the church on surrender and real discipleship. Tad describes a sketch he has drawn of a mountain with a wall and a gate in front of it. He uses the imagery to communicate that fear of the Lord is a prerequisite for knowing His glory and being in perfect peace. He encourages the congregation to obey God and not wait for God to reveal His character before they do so.

Tad continues with the theme of total surrender to Jesus and being a real disciple, this time looking at Matthew 6:33 and emphasizing the area of finances.

In this sermon, Tad shares more in relation to the idea of being real disciples of Christ. He speaks against the idea that everything in the world is exactly as God has dictated and presents the challenge to the audience that real disciples are the solution to the chaos in the world. Tad talks about a few men who were influential during his early Christian days and support the idea that what we do matters. Tad looks at Matthew 17:14-21 and Revelation 2:1-5 during the message and also looks at the Beatitudes as a metric for evaluating real discipleship.

In this sermon, Pastor Jason Reilly shares his thoughts on grief, which are especially applicable after some recent tragedies in the church. Jason looks at the question, "What does it mean to grieve?" He also points out some wrong ways to handle grief before walking through the passage in John where Jesus weeps. Then, he mentions Revelation 21, makes some points from C.S. Lewis' "A Grief Observed," and concludes with an application.

After the passing of a friend of the church, Tad shares about the solution to the brokenness in our world: being a real disciple (learner) of Christ. Tad walks through the first few commands from Jesus as they appear in the book of Matthew: repent, follow me, rejoice and be glad, and let your light shine. He connects the message to the baptisms that follow the service, pointing out the final command that Jesus gives, which is to go into the world, make disciples, and baptize them.

This is message number thirteen in the Ephesians sermon series. Here, Jason Reilly covers a small passage at the beginning of Ephesians chapter six, discussing how to honor your father and mother. He acknowledges that each situation is different, and that it is difficult to give clear solutions/ideas on what honoring parents will look like in every situation for each individual. He talks about how honoring does not always mean obeying; commands or directions that are contrary to God, the higher authority, do not override God's authority. Jason also addresses what the roles of parents are as a child continues to grow and mature.

In this sermon, Tad addresses the tension between the reality of God's goodness and the real suffering in this world. He presents that God's goal for us is to become more like Christ, suffering is the way we are formed to be more like him, and bitterness will hinder us from the growth. He says that the suffering we encounter can largely be attributed to the misuse of freewill, rather than God. As he discusses the topic, Tad visits the passages of Romans 8, Genesis 50, and Hebrews 12.

In this sermon, Jason follows the Holy Spirit's leading and changes his plan just before service. Instead of covering subjects from Ephesians, he walks through the parable of the prodigal son found in Luke 15. Jason reads small portions of the passage and discuss them, covering the story from the younger son's rebellion to the father's loving heart and to the older son's refusal to join the celebration.

This is session twelve in the Ephesians sermon series. In this sermon, Tad preaches on Ephesians 6:10-24, the famous passage about putting on the armor of God. He begins with reading the first verse and points out the idea of power seen there. Then, Tad emphasizes that prayer is what releases the power and how we put on the armor. Tad walks through the rest of the verses, touching on our battle not being against flesh and blood and discussing the pieces of armor. He points out where the list calls back to Old Testament passages, and with each piece, he asks the audience questions that help with application.

This is the eleventh sermon in the Ephesians sermon series. In this message, Jason walks through Ephesians 5:21-33 and discusses the passage's teaching on gender roles. He reviews previous ideas in the text and reads the passage along with a relevant portion of chapter six. Ideas discussed include wives submitting to their husbands, as well as husbands loving and leading their wives and families.
