Spiritual Growth 101: The Season of Owning (3/4)

Think back to your middle school years… Or maybe don’t—if they bring up memories of braces, bad haircuts, and that unforgettable locker room smell no amount of deodorant could fix. Whether those years were good or awkward (or both), they were some of the most formative when it came to shaping who you were becoming. The people you surrounded yourself with and the content you consumed, whether in real life, online, or on social media, played a big role in forming your character. T...

Spiritual Growth 101: The Season of Building (2/4)

This episode we begin by making an announcement that will not only impact the future Sunnybrook Community Church, but all of Siouxland. Have you ever asked yourself, “How do I grow in the Christian faith?” Maybe you’re new to following Christ, or maybe you’ve known Jesus for years but feel like you haven’t grown as much as you’d hoped. Either way, this message is for you. Pastor Jeff Moes continues our teaching series, Spiritual Growth 101, as we talk about how to move from spiritual infanc...

Spiritual Growth 101: The Season of Spiritual Seeking (1/4)

We are excited to begin a new series entitled Spiritual Growth 101. Over the next four weeks, we’ll walk through the basics of spiritual formation—how we know Christ, grow in Christ, and become like Christ. To start, Pastor Lydia Miller goes back to the very beginning and asks: What is my response to the message of Jesus? Looking at Jesus’ own teaching in Matthew 13, we’ll examine the response of our hearts and discover what God might have for us when we are receptive to His truth. -- Take th...

Stand Firm: When God Seems Slow (4/4)

Have you ever found yourself praying for a miracle, believing God would move, but the answer didn’t come? It’s easy in those moments to feel spiritually discouraged. We start to wonder: Why hasn’t He answered? Am I doing something wrong? Is something wrong with me? As we wrap our series in the book of Daniel, Pastor Jeff Moes will look at Daniel 10 and wrestle with the question: What do you do in the waiting? What do you do when God seems slow to respond? Daniel received a powerful vision and...

Stand Firm: Anxious Hearts, Fearless Faith (3/4)

If you paused to consider your own faith for a moment, would you say it’s a faith that can be trusted? When push comes to shove, when prayers go unanswered or when life gets difficult, do you have a faith that you can trust to stand firm? Today, Pastor Lydia Miller looks at the faith of three of Daniel’s friends: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. We will look at their unwillingness to conform, and their resilient faith that stood firm even in the test of their lives. From their story, w...

Stand Firm: When You're Under Attack (2/4)

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I am under attack, I must not be in God’s will”? The truth is—you might not be. But sometimes, the very challenges we face are evidence that we’re right in the center of God’s will. Too often, people assume that once they become Christians, God makes life easier. But that’s not always the case. In fact, when we live boldly for God, the enemy often takes notice and stirs up all kinds of opposition. That’s exactly what we see in the life of Dan...

Stand Firm: Living for Jesus in a Culture of Compromise (1/4)

Would you agree that it’s becoming more challenging to faithfully follow Jesus in a culture constantly pulling us away? More and more, it feels like our world is growing hostile toward the values we hold in God’s Word. So the question is: How do we, as followers of Jesus, stand firm in today’s world? How do we remain strong in our faith while still loving well? Over the next four weeks, we’ll be exploring what it means to stand firm as we walk through the Old Testament book of Daniel. This ep...

A Praying Life: How to Hear From God (5/5)

As we wrap up our series on prayer, Pastor Lydia Miller will be looking at one of the most important aspects of prayer: hearing from God. While many of us would say there’s nothing we’d love more than to hear from Him—for guidance, encouragement, or instruction—we aren’t always intentional about creating the time and space to listen. This episode, we’re going to get incredibly practical. Together, we’ll walk through the three primary ways God speaks to us and discuss how we can better positio...

A Praying Life: Unity in Prayer (4/5)

As you consider your own prayer life, it feels natural to consider the prayers of Jesus. How did He pray? What did He pray for? Because I don’t know about you, but I want to pray like He did! Did you know Jesus actually prayed specifically for you? He prayed, near the end of His life for future believers. Specifically, He prayed that we would experience unity. He prayed that we would be unified, just as He and the Father are, and went a step further by declaring that this unity would s...

A Praying Life: Come Holy Spirit (3/5)

For centuries, the church has been praying a simple prayer, “Come, Holy Spirit.” This week as we continue in our series A Praying Life Pastor Jeff Moes will look at that prayer. Why has the church prayed this prayer for so long and what does it mean? When we are asking the Holy Spirit to come, what are we asking Him for? What do we need Him to do in our life? What does the Holy Spirit provide for us? We will look at the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives and close by ...

A Praying Life: Prayer in the Busyness (2/5)

Isn’t it true—we’re all busy? You might have a demanding job, a family that needs your attention, and barely any time for yourself. And now… you’re supposed to pray unceasingly? It can feel impossible. This episode, Pastor Jeff Moes dives into part two of our series, “A Praying Life.” We’ll focus on 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 and explore three simple things God says are His will for our lives. These practices are simple—but powerful. I want to challenge you to put them into action and see how...

A Praying Life: How to Pray (1/5)

We are starting a brand-new series titled, A Praying Life. Scripture calls us to “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Essentially, for the follower of Jesus, prayer should be as natural and continual as breathing. However, for many of us, that is simply not the case. No one has to tell us how to breathe, but we would really love for someone to tell us how to pray. Thankfully, Jesus has! Tune in as Erich Erdman leads us as we look at His words in response to His disciples saying, ...

Asking For A Friend: Is Jesus Really The Only Way to Heaven? (4/5)

Ever had anyone come up to you and say, “It doesn’t really matter what you believe as long as you are sincere”? Or, “What’s the big deal… Buddha, Allah, Jesus... it doesn’t really matter. All roads lead to God anyway.” But shouldn’t what a person believes matter? Do all roads really lead to God? This week we are going to be dealing with that question as we continue with part four of our series “Asking for a Friend.” This episode, Pastor Jeff Moes asnwers question...

Asking For A Friend: Why Does God Allow Suffering? (3/5)

Have you ever found yourself doubting the goodness of God? Maybe it was personal—a loss of a job, a diagnosis that came out of nowhere, or a loved one that lost their life. Maybe it’s the bigger picture for you—the wars we’ve seen around the world, the devastating floods of this last week, or the children starving on the streets. It’s understandable to wonder how a good and powerful God could allow things like this to happen. And this is exactly what a prophet by the name of Asaph struggled w...
