Embracing Your Calling | Jeremiah 1

Evil is not just a political or cultural problem. It’s a spiritual one. TA continues our Year of the Word series by walking us through Genesis 3. In it, we see the enemy’s lies that led Adam and Eve to reject God’s design and redefine good on their own terms.

In this message, TA walks through Daniel 7 and explores what Scripture says about the end times. While there are different theological perspectives on how to interpret apocalyptic passages, they all point to Jesus’ return and his eternal reign. The passage reminds us not to get lost in speculation but to live with confidence and humility, knowing that in the end, God wins.

In this message, TA explores two theological frameworks for understanding Israel and the Church: Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology. While not an essential of the faith, many scholars debate how much continuity or discontinuity there is between the Old Testament and the New Testament regarding Israel and the church.

TA continues our Year of the Word series by walking us through Ezekiel 37 and the vision of the valley of dry bones. These bones coming to life show that God brings the spiritually dead back to life through his Spirit. This prophecy points to Israel’s restoration, the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost, and the new life believers receive in Christ today.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 is one the Bible’s clearest explanations of the New Covenant. As TA noted, this New Covenant promises a new heart and a new start to all God’s people. Under the New Covenant, God commits to writing his law upon his people’s hearts, dwelling with them intimately, and forgiving their sin.

TA continues the Year of the Word series with a focus on Psalm 63, reminding us that we need God’s presence more than his gifts. When we learn to “gaze” at Jesus instead of just “glance,” we discover that he’s not only sufficient, he’s better.

Jermaine Harrison, Students Director, continues our Year of the Word series and walks through Jeremiah 1, exploring how God equips us to faithfully follow our calling—even when it’s hard.

Continuing the Year of the Word series, Executive Director of Discipleship Dave Bruskas guides us through Isaiah 61 and poses three reflective questions from Jesus’ revelation in Nazareth: Do we see who he is clearly? Are we free from sin? Are we ready for Christ’s return?

Kylen Perry, Executive Director of the Porch, continues our Year of the Word series by walking through Isaiah 6—a vision of God’s holiness that reshapes how we see ourselves and live in response.

Continuing our Year of the Word series, we heard from Tyler Moffett, The Porch Director of Discipleship, as he walked us through the book of Ecclesiastes and how keeping eternity in view helps us live wisely today.
