2026.09.27 | Greg Nixon | I-A-M : P.S. I Am Sending You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Closing out the Identity, Authority and Mission series, Greg picks up where the last few weeks left off: chosen, redeemed, sealed, saved for service, ordained to serve. Now what? He goes back to Genesis, to the original call to rule, subdue, serve and keep, and makes the case that this was never about titles or platforms. It's about how you do whatever you're doing, wherever you are. He lands on two unlikely heroes from Acts, Philip and Stephen, ordinary men handed a "lesser" job who ended up wa
2026.09.20 | Ryan Matthews | Deacons and Servant Leadership (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This Sunday, Freedomhouse ordained/appointed deacons. Ryan looks at Philippians 1 and the ordination of a group of deacons, and unpacks what that word actually means: not a title, not a task list, but a description of a life laid down in love. He traces it through Paul's letters and back to Jesus himself, "the deacon above all deacons," and lays out five things deacons do in a healthy church: pastoral care, community, stewardship, mercy and justice, and empowering others. A good one for anyone w
2026.09.13 | Alexander Venter | I-A-M Series: Seven Things True of You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ephesians opens as a prayer, and Paul does something bold with it: he takes the language of Jewish blessing and points it at a new king. In this message from our Identity, Authority and Mission series, Alexander Venter reads Ephesians 1 in its original context, as a subversive letter about a different kingdom, and walks through seven things that are true of everyone in Christ: chosen, holy and blameless, predestined, adopted, redeemed, forgiven and sealed. Along the way he speaks about guilt and
2026.09.06 | Ryan Matthews | Celebration of Grace (Saved for Service) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Continuing the Identity, Authority and Mission series, Ryan turns to Ephesians and asks what it actually means to be seated with Christ. Not as a badge to wear, but as a vantage point Paul keeps opening wider: first grace, then power, then purpose. Ryan is honest about how easy it is to get stuck on the first part, that we're saved, forgiven, secure, and stop there. The rest of the passage won't let us. If we're raised with Christ, we're also sent, put on display not as a trophy but as evidence,
2026.08.30 | Ryan Matthews | Freedom from Self (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ryan opens this message from 2 Corinthians 5 with an admission that he's preached this passage before, with a different emphasis. The line we usually take from it, "you are a new creation," is true, but it's only half the sentence. The other half is harder to sit with: that newness was never just for you. What does it mean to believe that, so that you're transformed to be more like Jesus? Your new life in Christ calls you to be a minister of reconciliation and an ambassador for Christ, for the s
