BLVD Church Podcast

In our Why Jesus? sermon series, we begin with the question, “Who do you say Jesus is?” The reason why we follow Jesus is Jesus and Jesus alone. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
 
 
 
 

What does it look like to have a faith that lasts when following Jesus gets hard? Pastor Sophie shares how doubt, questions, and wilderness seasons don't have to pull us away from God—they can actually lead us into a deeper and more resilient faith.

Pastor Ben looks at the life of David and the importance of knowing who we are in the Lord. David knew he didn't need to wear someone else's armor—he trusted who God created him to be and allowed the little things to prepare him for the big moment.
Through David's story and the Armor of God in Ephesians 6, we’re reminded that our identity is found in Jesus, not in comparison, possessions, success, other people's opinions, or the different roles we carry.
What armor are you wearing? Where have you been listening to the lies of the enemy?

Chase looks at the story of Jephthah and how God works through broken and unlikely people. Jephthah’s story reminds us that the humans are not the heroes—Christ is the hero, inviting us to lay down the sword of blame and instead bear the cross of love.

Samson’s life was marked by strength, failure, compromise, and ultimately God’s grace. Pastor Ben reminds us through Samson’s story that our compromises can hurt our calling—but with God, it’s never too late to surrender, return, and put our faith in Him.

In today's message, we look at the story of Deborah and discover what it means to faithfully respond to God's calling. Through Deborah's example, we're reminded that worship, obedience, and trust can lead God to do extraordinary things through ordinary people. We are still called to listen for His voice, respond with faith, and live lives that reflect Him to the world.
