Idaho Grace Sermon Podcast

Throughout each generation, a danger for the church is to cease being a movement of people on mission and become an organization solely focused on providing programming to religious people. That’s not at all what things looked like when the Church was launched. Join Pr. Keith in Acts 1 as he continues For Our City, For Our World. 

Please join guest speaker, Saji Lukos, as he concludes the 2025 missions conference and kicks off a new series titled: For Our City, For Our World. He will be speaking from Psalm 96, looking at reasons to proclaim God's greatness among the nations. 

Our faith is unstoppable, not because of us, but because it’s grounded in the victory of Jesus. John is closing his letter with rock-solid certainty: as children of God, we can live confident that we belong to Him, that our prayers are heard, and that nothing can separate us from His love. Join Pr. Keith Waggoner in the conclusion of the Unfiltered Faith.

When we truly know God — the source of all love — fear loses its grip on our hearts. God’s love secures us, assures us, and calls us to extend that same love to others. We are no longer bound by fear of judgment or failure, because His love has been made complete in us through Christ. Join Pr. Matt Ritchey for this week's sermon from 1st John 4.

True faith begins with the wonder of God’s love, that we are called His children, and that identity leads to faithful obedience. God’s children live with a hope that changes us now and secures us forever. Join Pr. Keith as he speaks on hope and the changes we experience when abiding in Christ.

As we continue in 1st John 2, John puts up two big spiritual warning signs for us. The question is: will we take God’s warnings seriously, or will we brush up against them just to see if He really means it? Please join Pr. Keith as he addresses these warnings.

Sanctification is an increasing separation from sin that happens as you move more into spiritual maturity, increasingly becoming like Jesus Christ. Please join Pastor Keith in 1st John 2, where he will break down the stages of faith and share advice for each step of the journey.

Love isn’t just a new command, it’s the heartbeat of God’s people. In fact, John is going to show us that love isn’t optional or theoretical; it’s how God’s truth shows up in our lives and how we assure our hearts before Him. The question isn’t if we should love, but how — with action, generosity, and truth.

This profound truth is what allows us to not wallow in our failure, but to get up and keep moving forward in obedience.  Not because we have to earn back His favor, but because we already have it through Jesus Christ.  We obey because we love Him.  And this obedience produces a fruit-bearing assurance.  We’re not just safe; we’re changed and even our lives bear evidence of this transformation. 

1st John 1 points out that the blood of Jesus has a past, present, and future power. We can know for a fact that our past is past, thanks to the blood of Jesus. We are forgiven! “What if I sin?” Confess it. As we confess, we are cleansed. Join Pastor Keith as he further explores this passage.
