Living Faithfully in a Broken System | Michael Newton

Ecclesiastes | Under the Sun In this week’s message from Ecclesiastes 8–9, Michael Newton walks through one of life’s hardest questions: What do you do when life doesn’t make sense? When injustice seems to win, prayers feel unanswered, and outcomes don’t match your faithfulness, Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is broken, unpredictable, and often beyond our control. But even in uncertainty, God remains trustworthy. This sermon explores how cynicism can quietly harden our hearts, why control can never truly give us peace, and how biblical faith is not certainty about outcomes—it’s trust in God’s character. Through the honesty of Solomon’s words and the hope of the gospel, we’re reminded that Jesus entered into our broken world, suffered injustice Himself, and conquered death through the resurrection. If you’re walking through disappointment, unanswered questions, grief, or uncertainty, this message is an invitation to stop anchoring your hope in circumstances and start anchoring it in a faithful Savior. Because even when life is unpredictable, Jesus is still King—and that changes everything. Today's podcast is brought to you by Boise Community Church.

Wisdom through Sorrow | Michael Newton

Ecclesiastes | Under the Sun This week we continue our journey through Ecclesiastes with a powerful and honest message from Ecclesiastes 7: Wisdom is often forged in sorrow, not comfort. In a culture that constantly tells us to avoid pain, chase comfort, and stay positive, Solomon invites us into a deeper truth: some of the greatest formation in our lives happens through grief, disappointment, waiting, and hardship. Together we’ll explore how God meets us in suffering, how wisdom grows in difficult seasons, and how Jesus redeems even the broken places of our lives. Join us for worship, communion, and a reminder that even in the storm, God is still present, still working, and still bringing beauty from brokenness.

Mary's Yes | Michael Newton

Mother's Day | Mary's Yes This week we gathered for a powerful Mother’s Day service centered around Luke 1v26–38 and Mary’s courageous yes to God. Through worship, prayer, communion, and the teaching of Pastor Michael Newton, we were reminded that God often interrupts ordinary lives with extraordinary purpose. Mary’s story challenged us to trust God even when we don’t understand the full picture, to embrace surrender even when it’s costly, and to believe that our obedience can impact generations to come. Whether you’re in a season of joy, grief, waiting, or uncertainty, this message is an invitation to make room for Jesus and say yes to whatever He is asking of you.

A life on Mission | Pami Young

What does it really look like to live on mission—together? In this Community Sunday message, Pami Young unpacks the heart behind a life rooted in purpose, connection, and the call of Jesus. This isn’t about doing more—it’s about seeing people, loving people, and stepping into the everyday moments where God is already at work. Be encouraged and challenged to move beyond surface-level faith and into a life that reflects the mission of Jesus in your home, your friendships, and your community.

Trying Everyday | Michael Newton

A LIFE WORTH LIVING | TRYING EVERYDAY This week, Michael Newton walks us through Matthew 14 and the story of Peter stepping out of the boat to meet Jesus on the water. It’s a message about the moments we hesitate—the quiet nudges we feel—and how often we talk ourselves out of trying before we ever take a step. What if the thing holding you back isn’t your ability… but your willingness? Through honest reflection, relatable stories, and a powerful invitation to trust, this sermon reminds us that faith doesn’t start with confidence—it starts with a step. You don’t need a perfect plan, guaranteed results, or even certainty. You just need to be willing to say, “I’ll try.” Whether it’s opening your Bible, praying out loud, reaching out to someone, or letting go of control, this message will challenge and encourage you to take your next step with Jesus. Because you’ll never walk on water… if you stay in the boat. Today's podcast is brought to you by Boise Community Church.
