Submerge Sermons

(2/9/25) The Big Picture: Communication

Do you ever wish you could hear from God more? And understand what He's saying? The good news is--God is always trying to communicate with us! On Sunday submerged into one of the biggest & most confusing parts of the Bible (the prophets) to learn how to hear God better. (watch through the closing prayer for a guided time of listening to God...)

(2/2/25) The Big Picture: Reclamation

Doesn't it often feel like we're defined by our worst mistakes / failures / sins? They can be hard to move past--but God has other ideas. In this service, we learned from the raw powerful stories of David & Solomon, to understand how God wants to reclaim & redefine us.

(1/26/25) The Big Picture: Destination

God is calling all of us to experience life in "the Promised Land"--but will we have the faith to step out and follow, even when we can't see how it's gonna work out? Will we have the faith to trust Him for a daily bread? Learn with us the next chapter in "the big picture" from the story of Moses & the Israelites. And see how Communion is beautiful picture of the exodus!

(1/19/25) The Big Picture: Formation

Regardless of what we see in ourselves, God sees someone in us who are created in His image, and who are called to receive His blessing AND bring His blessing to the world! In this service we learn from Abraham's story in Genesis, in the next chapter of the Big Picture of the Bible--God forming & calling His people (us!).

(1/12/25) The Big Picture: Temptation

We all see so much brokenness in our lives, our relationships, and our world. Where does that come from? How do we navigate it all? In this service, we reframe temptation/sin and get our first look in the Bible of God's grand plan to put everything back together, and what it means for our lives in the here and now...

(1/5/25) The Big Picture: Creation

What is your real origin story? In this new series we're submerging into the big picture story of the universe & the Bible to see how our stories fit in. And it all starts with Creation! We discover that the creation story is less about "How? / When? / How long did it take?" and more about "Who is the Creator? / Why did He create?". And we learned that God is not done creating--and we get to join Him in co-creating!

(12/29/24) "God with Us in the New Year"

What will the sequel to your life in 2024 be? How will you follow God in the new year, and how do we make sure we don't miss what all He wants to in us? Learn with us from the sequels to the Christmas stories in the Gospels...

(12/22/24) "God with Us in Our Relationships" (Love)

Everything Christmas is about comes down to love--because that's everything Jesus is about. And everything God has always been about. So how do we experience more of Jesus' kind of love in our lives, as more than just a nice sentiment? How do we let His love flow into even our toughest relationships and help us love even the hardest people--and feel more loved in return? Learn with us as we celebrate week 4 of Advent!

(12/15/24) "God with Us in Our Suffering" (Joy)

In this service we experienced more Advent together as we learned how to experience more JOY in our world even when it doesn't feel very joyful. We learned two big reasons that Mary in the Christmas story gives us to find a lasting joy from God that can carry on long after the holidays are over...

(12/8/24) "God with Us in Our Stress" (Peace)

How do we find real peace this Christmas season--the kind that can enter into our chaos & our conflicts and flow deeply through all of it? The kind that isn't so fleeting, but can remain in our hearts & minds through this season and beyond? This is exactly the kind of peace Jesus offers us & Christmas can bring us, so learn with us from the ancient Bible Christmas stories about how to find it!
