Join us as Pastor Jonathan continues our journey through the Gospel of Luke by looking at what it means to be open and vulnerable to God’s calling, in the midst of life’s ups and downs. It’s when we live in this state of openness that we are truly able to experience the power and majesty of God. 

Jonathan Pennington returns to a brief passage in Luke that illustrates that how we see ourselves is often very different than how God sees us…and others whom we judge.

Pastor Jonathan looks at two stories in Exodus 17 and how, despite God’s deliverance of Israel from her enemies, his people continue to grumble and complain. In these stories, we’ll see what we learn about God in these instances and what we learn about our relationship to Him.

Pastor Jonathan looks at Exodus 15 and Israel’s response to the pivotal point in this story where they are delivered from their enemy—they sing. Join us, as we try to answer the question: Why do we sing?

Join us as Pastor Jonathan looks at Exodus 3 and a detail that we might be tempted to gloss over – the significance of names and how God’s explanation of how he should be identified matters.

Join us as Pastor Jonathan takes a closer look at a turning point in Luke, where Jesus asks his Apostles who they think he is. The answer to that question—for them and us—tells us much about how we connect the dots of the gospel.

Join us as Pastor Jonathan preaches from Matthew 6 and looks at the Lord’s Prayer from a fresh perspective.

Join us as Jonathan Pennington kicks off Advent at Sojourn East with our series titled Sketches of Salvation, where we explore how this good news was prefigured in the lives of four ancestors of Jesus. Today, we look at Abraham.

Join us this morning as Pastor Jonathan shows us what honesty before God looks like.

This week, Pastor Jonathan teaches on 2 Corinthians 1, continuing our series "The Paradoxical Gospel," where he will look at God’s faithfulness. 

Today, we wrap our "Faces of the Fall" series with the story of Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem, one week before his death, burial and resurrection. This Palm Sunday message is titled "Sin As Missing the King."

Join us as we begin a new series,  “Faces of the Fall”, where we examine the effects of sin entering our world so that we can see what god has done for us in his perfect son. Pastor Jonathan kicks things off with a sermon on Genesis 3:1-13, titled “Sin as Foolish Trust.”

Join us as Pastor Jonathan continues our vision series "formed." by looking at the ways in which fear and shame keep us from living life the way it was intended to be lived. This message, rooted in Matthew 23, is an invitation to wholeness...or holiness. It's a challenging and rewarding message based on living in close communication with the living God.
