Invitation Church Podcast

Moment By Moment

In part 1 of the series, "Strong and Courageous," Pastor Dave walks us through the life of a woman from the book of Acts who is remembered for seeing with eyes of faith and living with a heart of courage. Her name is Tabatha, and she shows us that we don't just give our lives to God in a moment, but we give our lives to God moment by moment.  

UPS, Art, Nintendo, and a Weird Statue

In this week's message, Richie Hutchinson shares a powerful word about the grace of God from the book of Ephesians.  

Forgiveness Is Hard, But It's Worth It

Tom Henderson, the Founder and Lead Communicator of Restoration Generation, brought a message on the theme of forgiveness that focuses on the difficulty and blessing of extending forgiveness to others.  

Our Way of Life

To celebrate our first Easter as a church, Pastor Dave unpacked the idea that Ressurection is not just an event, but it is to be our way of life as followers of Jesus.  

"He died on a hill so that we could stand with confidence knowing that while sin, death, shame, anger, bitterness, fear, and guilt are a part of the story, it's not our way of life.  We’ll either live by Jesus words or by the words of chief priests and elders of our day—who try and explain why Resurrection isn’t possible."

 

 

Go Borrow A Donkey

As we begin Holy Week at Invitation, Pastor Dave unpacked Matthew's account of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey.  Jesus entry into the city comes with a warning: in life, there are always two crowds and the challenge of this life is that we'll be tempted to shout "Hosanna!"  to the wrong king, and "Crucify him to the rightful one."  

 

 

Seasons

In the conclusion of our series in the book of Philippians, Pastor Dave encourages us to consider the question: "Is the season that you’re in shaping your life with God more than the life you have in God shaping the season that you’re in?  Instead of the season that you’re in robbing you blind of faith, joy, purpose and life—is it possible that our gracious God would desire to use the season you find yourself in to draw you closer to himself? Is it possible that the Lord has something to whisper to you in the middle of this season?

Helpless & Rejoicing

In this message from Philippians Chapter 4, Pastor Dave unpacks the idea that we'll either see helplessness as a place to avoid at all costs, or we'll see it as something that actually serves as good soil for the growth of a life that rejoices in the Lord.  

The Grace That Takes Hold

In part 7 of our series in the book of Philippians, the Apostle Paul encourages us that no matter where we find ourselves, we're being called to press on; to take another step into God's grace and peace.  

Whatever Happens...JOY

Adam Sieff shares the power of being rooted in joy as we continue walking through the book of Philippians.  

What Wounds Really Prove

Pastor Dave continued our series in the book of Philippians and unpacked the idea that living for the risen Jesus and living for our own interests are NOT roads to the same place. During the season of lent, we're invited to leave our interests in the grave and live for the interests of the one who raised us out of the grave.
