The Table Podcast

Why would Jesus willingly limit himself in the wilderness? In this message from Luke 4:1-13, we explore Jesus' 40-day fast and his resistance to temptation. Discover how fasting trains us to find freedom not through limitless autonomy, but through submission to God—learning that "God is enough" even when we don't get our way.

What's at the heart of the Scriptures? In this Advent message on love, we explore Jesus' conversation with a scribe in Mark 12:28-34 about the greatest commandment. We discuss why loving God and loving others are inseparably connected, and how easy it is to lose sight of this central truth—even when we know the Scriptures well. 

In this Sunday's reflection on the theme of Joy, Rebecca Vondra guides us toward the joy God offers that has nothing to do with our prepackaged, for-sale, battery-operated, shallow attempt to self-medicate our way through the bitter months of winter in a harsh, unrelenting world. Rather, in the midst of the harsh realities of life, "joyful anticipation deepens." 

In our second week of Advent, Dr. Brett Desper leads us through a profound reflection on the need and the availability of true peace. 

In this first week of Advent, Pastor David explores Matthew 21:1-14 and how Jesus is the unexpected Messiah in whom we find our true hope. 

This Sunday, Pastor Mark explores the story of the poor widow in Mark 12:41-44. 

What does true generosity look like in God's Kingdom? In this message on 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, we explore how the early church turned conventional thinking about philanthropy completely upside down.
Discover why the impoverished Macedonian Christians—giving out of severe trial and extreme poverty—became Paul's shining example of radical generosity. Learn the surprising formula for a "wealth of generosity" that has nothing to do with the size of your bank account.
 

What would it look like if a community actually lived out radical generosity together? In this message from Acts 4:32-37, we explore the early church's revolutionary economic practice—a community where no one claimed possessions as their own, needs were met, and unity transcended social class.

This is the first week of our new teaching series called Kingdom Economics in which we are exploring what it looks like to have our vision and practice for our finances shaped by the Kingdom of God and not by the surrounding culture.

This is the concluding message for our teaching series on the Dwelling Place of God. In this final message, we look at the river in the Garden of Eden, the river flowing out of the Temple of God in Ezekiel's vision (Ezekiel 47), and the river in Revelation 22:1-4.
