Waiting In Peace
Season 2025, Ep. 46
•
What does it look like to experience peace in a season of waiting? In Week 2 of our Christmas series, The Wait Is Over, Mike Meeks unpacks the story of Simeon in Luke 2 — a man who waited for the Messiah with deep trust, active faith, clear eyes, and a heart full of joy. His life shows us that peace isn’t passive… it’s something God grows in us as we walk with Him.
In this message, we’ll explore how peaceful waiting often looks like:
Trust (Choosing to rely on God even when we can’t see the full story)
Active Faith (Stepping forward in obedience, even before the path is clear)
Eyes Open to God’s Presence (Letting Christ’s peace rule in our hearts)
Joy (Discovering the eternal hope Jesus brings — our Prince of Peace)
Through Simeon’s example, we’ll learn how God meets us in our waiting, forms us through it, and fills us with a peace the world cannot give.

Kevin McPeak kicks off our Christmas series, The Wait is Over, unpacking how Joseph waited... with integrity. And it brought God lots of glory.

42. Made For Goood Plans
29:31||Season 2025, Ep. 42Have you ever felt like something was working against you? Like something was pulling you away from your purpose, direction, and joy? In today's message we unpack Ephesians 2. Together we will discover how it's true– yes, sin is working against us. But there is good news. Grace is working for us. And when we put our faith in Jesus, we are now– in Christ. And when you are in Christ, all that is true of Jesus changes what is true of you. In Christ, we discover who we really are and what we are made for! We discover the good things God has planned in advance for us to do. And He has good plans for us, for our good and His glory!
41. Made For Living Worthy
30:57||Season 2025, Ep. 41What does it mean in today's world to truly live like Christ? What does it look like to live worthy of the calling God has given you? In Week 4 of Made For This, Hosanna Wong teaches from Ephesians 4:1–6, where Paul shifts from reminding us who we are in Christ to how we are called to live because of Christ.Our position in Christ changes our posture in life. Living worthy looks like humility, gentleness, patience, love, and making every effort to guard unity. Not just looking spiritual—but living like Jesus in our everyday relationships. Mostly, what God does is love us — and we are called to love like Him.
40. Made For God's Love
35:25||Season 2025, Ep. 40How does Christ's love change how we live? In Week 3 of our series Made for This: A Study through the Book of Ephesians, we unpack a prayer that Paul prays, and how we too can be praying for our lives, family, friends, and church as well. In Ephesians 3:14-21 we learn to pray for strength, love, knowledge, fullness, and more... because God can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine! So we should ask. We should imagine. And we should expect in faith that God will do exceedingly above and beyond our requests. How does Christ's love change how we live? It empowers us to live with bolder faith than ever before.
39. Made For Knowing Christ
36:30||Season 2025, Ep. 39Have you ever wondered, "Who am I?" or "What am I made for?" These are questions humans have asked from the beginning of time, and the Word of God has answers for us. We are starting a new series called Made for This: A Study through the Book of Ephesians, and for Week 1 of our series, we are unpacking how we are made for knowing Christ. Throughout this message we will unlock these truths:Our identity precedes our activity.Our status comes from his sacrifice. We receive it when we believe it. It turns out, we receive all that Jesus is and we become all that God says we are right when we believe in and receive Jesus. In Jesus we find who we are, and what we are made for!38. Trading Defeat For Victory
23:40||Season 2025, Ep. 38Have you ever felt defeated? Have you ever felt weighed down by disappointment, discouragement, or uncertainty of the future? In the final week of our series, Living Lightly, we discover how Jesus called his disciples, and calls his disciples today to drop a posture of defeat, follow Jesus' pace, and live in victory by the power of God. It turns out, what we thought was a symbol of defeat might be exactly what God wants to use for our victory and the victory of others. We might think our story is over. But we are not done, yet.
