Episodes

  • Deuteronomy | Measure For Measure

    02/06/2019 Duration: 26min

    Many believe in Karma, the idea that we get what we deserve. A similar concept is found in Deuteronomy called "measure for measure," but with a completely different way of measuring.

  • Deuteronomy | We Saw No Form

    26/05/2019 Duration: 34min

    In this message consider idols, things we can see, and a God of the Israelites that gave no form.

  • Deuteronomy | Love Does

    19/05/2019 Duration: 26min

    Chapter 4 includes two verses that are about love, bringing, and inheritance, language that grounds the commandments, not in duty, but in relationship. The force of Deuteronomy's "laws," emerges from the fact that we belong to God, that we are loved by God, and that God cares deeply for our souls.

  • Deuteronomy | Look Back

    12/05/2019 Duration: 44min

    The first three chapters of Deuteronomy tell a brief and critical history that is critically important for how the Israelites are to move forward into uncertainty, and in creating justice in this world. As we chart a way forward, we do so by leaning back into our story.

  • Deuteronomy | You Have Stayed Long Enough

    05/05/2019 Duration: 35min

    Deuteronomy is about storytelling. And storytelling is about moving the story forward. In this talk, we discover that it's time to pass the story along, as the lessons of the past are crucial and critical for the future journey ahead.

  • Deuteronomy | Introduction, These Things

    28/04/2019 Duration: 41min

    In this introduction to Deuteronomy, Pastor Kevin proposes a fundamental shift in perspective and understanding of the "laws" that are written down in the book of Deuteronomy. Rather than merely "divine legislation," this book reveals wisdom, insight into how we can tackle even the most important and critical issues we face today.

  • Easter | New Creation

    21/04/2019 Duration: 34min

    This day we celebrate and commemorate the most significant event in history. The meaning of this event, however, is far more cosmic and epic than we often realize. To understand that, we've got to go back to, "In the beginning…"

  • Palm Sunday | Hosanna!

    14/04/2019 Duration: 26min

    The commemoration of Palm Sunday was perhaps a bit of street theatre, reaching back to Israel's history, illuminating the profound symbolism of Jesus's actions on a day known to the early followers of Jesus as "lamb selection day."

  • 1 John | This Is The Message

    07/04/2019 Duration: 46min

    In this closing message, Pastors Danielle & Kevin converse about the series, and the various aspects and themes of the previous weeks. In summary, this is the message of 1 John, and why we spent time in this book.

  • 1 John | You Already Know

    31/03/2019 Duration: 32min

    It's been said that we need to be reminded more than we need to be told. In this message, Pastor Marcus shares and encourages us with that reminder that we are loved, and to love, even "those people."

  • Spark.Cast | Conversational Interview with Preston Sprinkle

    29/03/2019 Duration: 02h27s

    On March 10, 2019, Spark Church in partnership with four other organizations, hosted a public conversation between Justin Lee and Preston Sprinkle on the topic of sexuality, scripture, and the soul of christianity. If you haven’t watched or listened to that event, I highly recommend doing so before listening to these follow-up conversations because for that particular event, our main focus was to model and engage in respectful and humble dialogue on one of the most divisive issues facing the church. I’m deeply grateful to Justin and Preston for holding that space, and for them incarnating that ethic, and being exemplars for The Church as a whole. Because time is always a frustrating constraint, Justin and Preston have graciously agreed to these follow up podcast interviews where we address some of the top questions that were submitted, and dig far deeper into the implications of each of their views. These interviews are based on that same ethic, and it is our hope that these conversations equip us with a be

  • 1 John | Love Drives Out Fear

    24/03/2019 Duration: 34min

    One of the most pernicious of all human experiences is fear. It is debilitating and terrifying. In this message, we discover how God's perfect love drives fear out.

  • 1 John | True/False Test

    17/03/2019 Duration: 33min

    False prophets, false teachers, God haters, the antichrist? Who is John so concerned about, and who or what forces of evil in our midst should we be so worried about today? [Editorial notes: At minute 21:50, instead of "a divine force that let go of humanity,..." should have been "let go of divinity..." At minute 23:26, instead of "empirical cross of Rome," should have been "imperial cross of Rome." At minute 26:13, instead of "Irenaeus," should have been "Ignatius."]

    What do Christians believe about God? Simple. God is love. Everything else is details.

  • 1 John | Our Hearts

    24/02/2019 Duration: 37min

    The phrase "when our hearts condemn us" appears in 1 John 3, the sense that we all struggle with self-condemnation, insecurity, and feelings of inadequacy. This conversation with Pastor Omair, who holds a Ph.D. in Social Psychology, helps us navigate these feelings of reality in the context of our faith.
