Interruptible | Art of Showing Up | Mark Swarner

Menlo Church Podcasts ·

2025/08/31

Jesus never seemed in a hurry, even when crowds demanded His attention. Drawing from the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37), we’ll unpack how formation happens in our margins—not our schedules. Living a Spirit-led life means being interruptible. One of our kingdom qualities is being an unhurried friend, and this passage challenges us to consider who our friend is, the same way that Jesus challenged first-century people with their definition of neighbor.Connect with us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

2025/08/24

The most powerful way to reflect the heart of Jesus isn't through grand gestures—it's through presence. This series walks through key moments in Scripture where Jesus or His followers simply showed up—with compassion, intentionality, and courage. In a culture of disconnection and self-focus, we’ll learn what it means to take the risk of proximity, live interruptible lives, and make room at our tables. Rooted in Luke 10 and the way of Jesus, The Art of Showing Up helps us move from good intentions to

Letting God Take the Lead | Foreign Faith | Phil EuBank

Menlo Church Podcasts ·

2025/08/17

Before Israel ever faced the Red Sea, God made His presence and leadership unmistakable. In the wilderness, a pillar of cloud guided them by day and a pillar of fire by night—an unmissable reminder that they weren’t navigating life alone. The cloud didn’t give them a full map, just the next step. Sometimes it stayed for a day, sometimes for months, but Israel moved only when God moved. In our own lives, we often want the entire plan upfront, yet God calls us to follow His presence one step at a

2025/08/10

In the wilderness, Israel grumbled, rebelled, and doubted—but God still provided manna. This week reminds us that failure isn’t final. God meets us with grace in the midst of our wandering and invites us to start fresh. No matter how far we’ve gone, it’s never too late to return to the One who provides.Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

When We Lead Ourselves | Foreign Faith | Matt Summers

Menlo Church Podcasts ·

2025/08/03

While Moses is meeting with God, Israel panics and builds the golden calf. We all know what it feels like to get tired of waiting—for answers, direction, or hope. When we take leadership into our own hands, we risk making something shiny that isn’t sacred. This message invites us to ask: what golden calves are we tempted to worship?Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

Lost and Stuck | Foreign Faith | Phil EuBank

Menlo Church Podcasts ·

2025/07/28

Israel thought Egypt was behind them—until they hit a dead end at the Red Sea. When we’re trapped between fear and faith, it’s easy to think God has abandoned us. But even when we feel lost or stuck, God is preparing to move in ways we can’t yet see. This week helps normalize fear and uncertainty as part of the journey, not signs of failure.

Why Would A Loving Father Sacrifice His Son? |...

Menlo Church Podcasts ·

2025/07/20

At the center of Christianity is a powerful mystery: why would God send His Son to die? In this message, we explore the true meaning of the cross—not as divine child abuse or a fracture in the Trinity, but as the greatest act of self-giving love in history. Drawing from Scripture and insights from the early church, we look at how Jesus willingly gave His life, how the Father grieved but gave, and how the Holy Spirit makes this love real to us today.Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

Why Does God Choose Some and Not Others | Inspired...

Menlo Church Podcasts ·

2025/07/13

The Bible is filled with stories of God choosing specific people, nations, or paths—Abraham, Israel, Mary, Paul. But is divine election unfair? This message explores how God’s choices are never about exclusion for exclusion’s sake but about extending blessing to the many through the few. It will wrestle with the tension of predestination, human freedom, and the wide invitation of the gospel.Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

Menlo Church Podcasts ·

2025/07/06

The Old Testament is filled with violent stories—conquests, commands to destroy, and divine judgment. At first glance, it can seem like God is bloodthirsty or endorses holy war. This message wrestles with the tension of divine justice and human rebellion, exploring how God’s actions in history reflect a long-term mission of redemption, not destruction. We’ll unpack the conquest of Canaan, the language of total war, and the cultural context of ancient warfare. In Jesus, we see God’s ultimate weapon

Critics often point to verses like 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14 to argue that the Bible is anti-women. But is that the full story?

Menlo Church Podcasts ·

2025/06/25

Slavery is one of the most difficult and controversial topics in the Bible—and a common reason skeptics question God's character. We explore the historical and cultural context of slavery in biblical times, how Scripture has been misunderstood and misused, and what God’s heart for justice and human dignity really is. Join us as we unpack what the Bible actually says—and doesn’t say—about slavery, and how Jesus redefines freedom.Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402
