Beacon Church's Podcast

In this message from the Won’t You Be My Neighbor? series, we explore Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 and the deeper question behind it: not just who our neighbor is, but how we often try to justify ourselves instead of living with true compassion. The sermon highlights how fear, busyness, and competing priorities can keep us from loving others well.

This Easter, we’re starting a new series by rethinking what it means to be a neighbor in a disconnected world. From the familiar influence of Mister Rogers to the life and message of Jesus, we’re invited to see how compassion, inclusion, and everyday relationships can shape our lives—and the lives around us. This is a simple idea, but it has the power to change more than we think.

Psalm 42

Every disciple of Jesus fights for sanctification.

Sanctification is the antidote. Sanctification is the process of pressing sin the world, the flesh, and the devil out of our souls and out of our spheres.

Nehemiah 6 : 15 - 16

Nehemiah 9

What you realize is the story of Gideon isn't really about Gideon. It's about God — a God who never forgets his people and a God who can triumph despite our fear and our weakness.Judges 6: 1-3,6, 15, 16Judges 7: 2-3, 16-17

Nehemiah 8

Nehemiah 5

Nehemiah 12: 43-45

Nehemiah 1: 1- 11God takes broken things and He restores them. He renews them. This is the whole story of the Bible from Genesis 3, When we broke it to the very end, when the new city of Jerusalem comes down out of heaven from God and the restoration of all things happens. No more tears when we take our weapons and we beat them into plowshares.

Matthew 5:14You are the light of the world. 

Merry Christmas!

We are meant to know who we are by being known.

Psalms 50 : 3 - 4, 7

Beacon 20th Anniversary

Anxiety shows up at the intersection of importance and impotence. when things are important, we value them. We see them as being important, and yet we see ourselves as being impotent to protect those things from threats. That's where anxiety lives.

Being thankful because his loss became our life. And that's the Thanksgiving story that always going to be worth telling.
