Emmanuel Faith Sermon Podcast

For our Annual Meeting weekend, we’ll be looking at John 15:1-17 as we cast some vision for the upcoming year in pastor Ryan’s message, We Are Here. One of the key points we’ll be learning in the message is that “Pruning is painful, but it’s for the purpose of being more fruitful.”

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to be someone who lives in the way of Jesus with a heart of Jesus even in the middle of a hostile culture? 1st Corinthians has amazing insight, wisdom, encouragement, and applicability to help us be the people God wants us to be right in the middle of the culture we live in today. We're diving into 1st Corinthians in this series and the first season, called Fool's Gold, is now underway.    

THE CRUX: Rediscovering the Power of the Cross The cross stands at the center of history and the center of our faith, but many of us live with it at the edges of our lives. What if we stepped back into the power of the cross? As we journey toward Easter, we’ll explore how Jesus absorbs our shame, triumphs over the powers that oppress us, and forms us into a new kind of people. Come and rediscover how to live from a victory that is already yours through Jesus. In this first message of our new series, The Crux, Lead Pastor Ryan Paulson will lead us through Colossians 2:13-15 in his sermon, “The Victory of the Cross.”

All Things New | Revelation: Season 5 In this new year, many of us feel the ache for change, for healing, growth, and a fresh start we can’t quite name. All Things New has been a three-week journey through Revelation 21-22 that speaks directly to that longing. In the final pages of Scripture, God doesn’t promise escape from the world, but renewal of it, where broken things are healed, and God makes His home with us. This month, we’ve been discovering how God’s promised future meets our present longing, inviting us to live with hope as He makes all things new.

The Journey of Christmas All throughout the first Christmas, people were on the move: Mary traveled to visit Elizabeth. Mary and Joseph made their way to Bethlehem. Shepherds hurried in from the fields. Magi crossed nations to find a newborn King. This season, we’re joining their footsteps. In our 2025 Christmas series, The Journey of Christmas, we’ve been following the sacred paths that led ordinary people straight to the wonder of the manger. And along the way, we believe God wants to lead us to discover wonder and to experience peace.
