Nov 18, 2021•50 min•Ep. 645

Part 8: The Subtle Tragedy of Nicodemus

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." The subtle tragedy of Nicodemus is that in scene after scene, Jesus was awakening something in his heart, but he didn't drop his robes so he could know true life.

Part 7: Healing

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." Healing is complex and each one of us comes to it with different experiences and expectations. At times, it's awe-inducing and often breathtakingly personal. And sometimes it's gut-wrenching and feels hopeless. But still, God invites us to ask for healing. In the Scriptures and through the life of Jesus, we see that healing feels like hoping, confronting, waiting, and laughing. We simply get to ask and watch how God responds.

Part 6: Prophecy

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." Deep down each of us long for a God who is not only wise or powerful but a God who is deeply personal. We long for a God who speaks. The God of the Bible is radical not only in how He meets the personal longing of every soul, but that He chooses to speak to people in a surprising way.

Part 4: Power: Dove

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." You have been anointed with the same Spirit as Jesus to continue the full ministry of Jesus. What gets in the way of the experience of that astounding promise?

Oct 18, 2021•48 min•Ep. 640

Part 3: Person: Breath

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." When God created people, He filled them with His Spirit to go on creating in His image. When God redeems people, He refills us with His Spirit to go on creating in His image. This teaching explores the Spirit’s role in the Church through the words we speak.

Part 2: Presence: Water

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." Scripture introduces us to the person of the Holy Spirit through metaphor. Looking at the Spirit through the metaphor of water we see a real and gritty honesty about the suffering in the world, but also an unwavering and joyful hope that breaks into the world.

Part 1: A Familiar Stranger

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and yet, for many in the Modern West, the Spirit is a familiar stranger. How do we know the Holy Spirit, not as a force to be captured but as a person to know and be known by?

Sep 27, 2021•52 min•Ep. 637

Part 7: Live in a Way That Begs the Question

From the series "Preaching The Gospel." Our fifth and final best practice for preaching the gospel is to simply bear witness: to live in a way that begs the question. Most of “evangelism” in the early church was simply people living a radically different and deeply good life, and scores of people being drawn into the beauty of the gospel. Millions found Jesus so compelling they were willing to die for him. Do we?

Part 6: Doing The Stuff

From the series "Preaching The Gospel." In John, Jesus talks about us accomplishing even greater works than He did. But demonstrating the Kingdom of God is often more ordinary, and every day, than we expect.

Aug 23, 2021•57 min•Ep. 632

Part 5: Methods & Context

From the series "Preaching The Gospel." When our methods are old and do not meet the current cultural context, how do we effectively preach the Gospel in Portland?

Aug 16, 2021•48 min•Ep. 631

Part 4: Recognizing Where God is Already Working and Joining In

From the series "Preaching The Gospel." Hesitation toward evangelism is rooted in the fallacy, “God shows up when I show up,” which couldn’t be further from the truth. In this week’s teaching, we learn how to join the pursuing work of God in the lives of the lost.

Aug 09, 2021•49 min•Ep. 630

Part 3: Practice Hospitality

From the series "Preaching The Gospel." Jesus “came eating and drinking.” If he had a “method of evangelism,” that was it: eat a meal with people far from God. And all through the New Testament, apprentices of Jesus are commanded to follow his example through the practice of hospitality. Something as radically ordinary and setting a table can create space for people far from God to experience the Father’s warm welcome into his family.

Part 2: The Four American Gospels

From the series "Preaching The Gospel." The word “gospel” means different things to different people in the American church, and many of them are misunderstandings of the gospel of Jesus. At their worst, these misunderstandings are obstacles to a life of discipleship. In this teaching we compare and contrast the four American gospels with Jesus’ gospel.

Part 1: What is the Gospel?

From the series "Preaching The Gospel." We kick off our practice of Preaching the Gospel with an honest conversation about why our generation is emotionally triggered by the idea of “evangelism,” as well as the possibility that part of the reason is because we’ve misunderstood what the gospel even is.

Blessing the Nations

From the series "Gospel of Matthew." God’s plan has always been to bless all the peoples of the earth.

Jul 12, 2021•46 min•Ep. 626

Come and See

From the series "Gospel of Matthew." God’s people spent centuries living under the oppression of empires, waiting for Him to rescue them and set the world straight. Finally, God seems to begin that work. Jesus arrives proclaiming that God’s Kingdom is finally coming through Him and people are convinced. They put their hope in Jesus but then Rome kills Him. Days later, two stories begin to circulate. Some of those in power say that Jesus’ corpse had been stolen, but a woman claims that she saw Je...

Unhindered

Recovering a holy imagination by seeing Pentecost from the final scene of Acts. What does the power of the Holy Spirit mean for a church under house arrest?

May 24, 2021•46 min•Ep. 619

Prayer Training with Tyler Staton

As followers of Jesus, we believe that God speaks to each of us today through words of encouragement and prophecy. We want to be people who are equipped to step into prophetic ministry over others, making more space for the Spirit of God to move.

To Strengthen The Failing Heart

From the series "Gospel of Matthew." How can we learn from the Biblical figures who came before us to navigate our current cultural moment? We must root ourselves in Jesus to avoid a failure of nerve and a failure of heart.

May 16, 2021•50 min•Ep. 617

The Way of Mercy, Integrity, & Humility

From the series "Gospel of Matthew." Jesus confronts hypocrisy in church leaders and calls his followers to a different way. In a time when deconstruction is the cultural tide we swim in and disillusionment with pastors is widespread and well-earned, there is a lot we can learn from Jesus.
