Vision > Becoming an Equipping Church (Ephesians 4:11-16) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens after Christ ascends? Paul's answer in Ephesians 4: we live — together, joined like bones by joints, energized like a flashlight with fresh batteries. Ephesians 4 reframes church for us: teaching as coaching, attending as participation, and equipping as skill-building — a body of people growing together rather than sitting apart. Austin Pfeiffer unpacks the passage's call to speak truth in love, to grow strong through resistance rather than rigidity, and to stop mistaking the warmth
The Mission Behind the Mission Statement (Matthew 28:16-20) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does a church need a mission statement? We don't, but it can help us stay on the trail of Jesus' final words in Matthew's Gospel—the Great Commission. They're a call to "go to the people," wherever you already are. Austin Pfeiffer walks through two of Jesus' commands for the church now: (1) moving out toward people who don't yet know Christ, and (2) discipling them by doing the Christian life together. Small Group Questions: 1. Where does this passage challenge a false belief you or our cult
Remembrance (Malachi 3:13–4:6) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Malachi closes with Israel's small view of God and inflated view of themselves exposed. That is until God flips it in their remembering his faithfulness. He promises the joyful coming of the Messiah and his steady faithfulness through all time. This sermon walks through what it means to set down the ledger of what we think we're owed and instead receive the healing future of the Messiah, like calves leaping from the stall. Small Group Questions: Where do you find yourself keeping a private ledge
Bring the First Fruits (Malachi 3:6-12) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are prone to thinking we provide for ourselves, and prone to focusing on what we don't have. In Malachi 3, God calls out his people for robbing him through their withheld tithes, but the deeper issue is a heart that's forgotten his mercy in the past and lost trust in his provision for the future. Austin Pfeiffer walks through why the tithe was never about a quid pro quo with God, but an exercise in remembering what's already been given. Small Group Questions: 1. Where do you see yourself keep
Approaching the Sun (Malachi 2:17–3:5) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Humans often inflate our own capacity to fix ourselves while also shrinking God down to a coach we call in when self-help stalls out. Malachi calls that out. And challenges us to identify ourselves on a list of sinners in 3:5 we'd rather not claim. In this sermon Austin Pfeiffer traces how a holy God who could rightly consume us instead sends his Son as both the refining fire and the sacrificial lamb, so that in Christ we're not just spared the heat — we're brought inside it.
