Vox Church - Lead Pastor Justin Kendrick: Recent Episodes
Vox Church
Vox Church exists to spread the lifestyle of authentic Christianity for God’s glory and the transformation of our city.
The glory of God shines brightest through the story of Jesus. How does a vision of Jesus change everything else in life?

Mark chapter 2 tells the story of a paralyzed man, but the details of the story are included to teach us something more. What does Jesus reveal about himself? How does it apply to your life?
The gospel of Mark opens by making some audacious claims about Jesus. He is the promised messiah, the king of kings and the second person of the triune God. How does this vision of Jesus change our lives?
Everything changed when Jesus walked among them alive. The resurrection story has changed history and it still changes hearts today. But do you live like the story is true?
Happy Palm Sunday! Join us for a sermon from Mike Schnepp.
Unity in the church flows from rightly seeing Jesus—not as someone who serves our agenda, but as the true King who calls us to surrender, trust Him in confusion, and let go of what we’re holding onto. When we center our lives on Him, the gospel reshapes our hearts, leading us to humility, dependence, and deeper transformation.
Where might you be missing the real Jesus because you’re holding onto your own expectations?
Christians throughout history have sought God for his power but the gifts of the Holy Spirit often feel out of reach. How do Christians experience the power of the spirit in their lives?
Unity in the church never happens by accident. What makes the church different from the rest of the world? How has God entrusted the church with the key to unity?
In many ways the church is like a bag of diamonds. Sometimes the real and the fake are mixed together. How do we discern between genuine faith and false conviction? How do we grow as authentic followers of Christ?
You are God’s workmanship. But what does that mean? How do art and creativity influence our understanding of God? How do they inform our purpose and hope?
Persistent prayer reveals the heart of God as a loving Father. While we often want instant answers, God uses seasons of waiting to grow our trust and draw us closer to Him, always giving us what we truly need. Instead of giving up when answers feel delayed, we are invited to come to Him with boldness, persistence, and faith. So how do we wait well, and pray in season?
What are spiritual gifts? How do they work in the church? How do we discover our spiritual gifts?
Every week the church gathers to sing. Why do we do this? Why does it matter? What does singing have to do with your life? Turns out, singing has everything to do with your life.
There is a hunger rising in a world flooded with voices, and many are searching for something that truly anchors the soul. In Matthew 4, Jesus shows us that life is not sustained by what we consume, but by the Word that defines who we are and who God is. What would it look like to become a people formed not by distraction or fear, but by the living Word of God?
There is a spiritual awakening stirring in the hearts of people today. God is replacing our vision for a fulfilling life with his vision for our lives. What is his vision? How do we become a part of it?
The gift of Christmas has changed the world, bringing peace and joy, yet many people today never experience these things. How do we experience the gift of Christmas in our lives?
The topic of generosity is found all throughout the Bible. What makes Christian generosity different? How is giving connected to purpose and mission?
We live in a world that focuses a lot of energy and attention on feeling safe. But with all the emphasis on safety, do we actually feel safer? Jesus offers us a way of life that is both risky and safe. How does it work?
Many people today lack purpose and meaning in life and the God of the Bible is a God on a mission. Christ came to announce the coming of the kingdom of God and calls you to join him. What is the kingdom of God? How does it advance?
What do you see when you think of God? What informs your vision of the divine? It’s easy to have our understanding of God rewritten by our circumstances. James chapter 1 shows us a better way.
The Bible has a lot to say about the topic of forgiveness. Forgiveness is complicated and it rarely unfolds in our hearts as we expect. What does it really mean to forgive? Why should Christians choose forgiveness and how do we do it?
Conflict is an unavoidable part of life. We deal with conflict at work, conflict with strangers, and conflict at home. How does the gospel change the way we do conflict? How do we learn to apply the gospel to our most difficult relationships?
Comparison comes after our character, connection, and our calling. How do we get out of the endless cycle? What do we do?
The biblical virtue of hospitality is often overlooked in our modern world. What is biblical hospitality? Why does it matter?
Every person will experience a sense of shame at various times in life. Where does shame come from? How do we end the cycle of shame? Close community is impossible if we don't deal with our shame and Jesus leads us to freedom.
In times of turmoil, where should Christians turn? How do we operate from a place of safety and peace in a dangerous and unpredictable world?
Sometimes in life the fire goes out and we lose our sense of purpose and passion. Where does the fire come from and how do we make sure we keep it burning?
Life comes with messy moments. There are offenses and struggles that we can't avoid. How do we stay clean? How do we continue to walk in hope, peace, and joy?
How do followers of Jesus live in a place of sustained freedom and victory? How does God prepare us for the challenges of life? It begins by learning to fight back.
We all have patterns in our lives that we want to break but we can't seem to stop or change. How do Christians change? How is it different from those who don't follow Christ?
The Bible offers a complex view of the problems we face in life. There are physical, mental, and moral challenges. But there are also spiritual forces. How does this spiritual world work? How do we find free from spiritual oppression?
Why is baptism important today? What makes this ancient practice significant? Baptism may seem foolish to the modern mind, but it has significance and profound importance in the life of the believer.
Join us as we learn about how a seemingly insignificant family, ends up being in the line of Jesus himself.
The life of Moses reveals God's plan of redemption for the world. What does the story of Moses have to do with us? How does his life show us the road that leads home?
The characters of the Old Testament show us the history of redemption and God's bigger plan for the world. Abraham lived a life of impact. What made him different? What can we learn from his life?
There are times in life when we are all overwhelmed. Where do you turn in those moments? How should Christians approach the challenges of life?
Integrity is the art of being the same person everywhere. In Luke 16 Jesus tells the story of the rich man and Lazarus. What does his story teach us about integrity? How can we learn to see life as it really is?
We often underestimate the power of words in our lives, but the Bible consistently emphasizes their impact. How do words affect us? How can we learn to speak words of life?
Integrity is the art of being the same person everywhere. Tragically, integrity is often lacking in our world today. What makes the Christian ethic of integrity unique? How does our conviction influence the way we work?
The Bible has a lot to say about the end of the world and the return of Christ. What should Christian's expect? How should we live in light of his coming?
The story of Easter has the potential to change every aspect of our lives. But is it really true? And if it's true, what does it mean?
Christian community is not easy and it never happens by accident. How is the church different from other communities? How do we endure through the hard times?
Should Christians pray for miracles? Does God still heal today? The book of Acts has a lot to teach us and God still honors prayers of faith.
The book of Acts mentions prayer more than any other book in the New Testament. What did these followers of Jesus understand about prayer that we've forgotten? What can we learn from them?
The book of Acts is far more than a history of the early church. It's an invitation to a new way of life. When the Holy Spirit came in power on the church, a new era began. What does it mean? How do we experience the Spirit today?
What idols are subtly taking hold of your heart today, and how can you create the necessary limits to focus on the Father’s love rather than the empty promises of the world?
Spiritual growth requires the intentional cultivation of our desires. How does this work? How can we learn to love God more?

Does your life make sense in light of eternity? Most people live for today, but God calls us to consider forever. In our end of year expansion offering, learn how eternity matters most.
What makes the Christian understanding of sacrifice different? Why would we sacrifice comforts? On commitment Sunday, we explore the powerful truths that propel believers in Jesus to live beyond our own comforts and choose sacrifice joyfully.
Hope is in short supply these days. How does the gospel inform our hope? How do we break out of the cynicism of our time?
We all love the idea of staying in control. But are you really in control? The Christian life calls us to move to a place of deeper and deeper trust. How do we do it?
One of the most challenging topics of life is the management and use of what we own. But according to the Bible, we don't actually own anything. Stewardship is a challenging concept in our modern time. What does it mean? How do we live as stewards?

What is the defining mark of the believer? What makes Christianity different? In a world that feels unstable in so many ways, how does Jesus offer a better answer?

The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. How can you find hope for the problems you face today? How can you learn to overcome?
In John 18 Jesus is betrayed and arrested. The story reveals the central theme of the gospel of John. What does it mean to see Jesus as he truly is?
What should we expect when we pray to God for help? How does God tend to work in the lives of his people? John 11 tells the story of Lazarus, but it reveals to us the heart of God, showing us what to expect when expecting God.
Recognizing God's power and presence in our lives is crucial. Understanding and trusting in Jesus can transform our fears into faith, offering true peace and strength through prayer and surrender. How often do you rely on your own strength instead of seeking God's help? Have you experienced the peace that comes from fully trusting Jesus? What steps can you take to deepen your relationship with God today?
Have you ever been asked the question, "Do you want to be healed?" What would your answer be?
How does faith grow? How does faith mature? If we don’t know the process of faith, we will often misunderstand the circumstances of life.
The gospel of John outlines seven signs that reveal the glory of Jesus. What do these signs mean? What can we learn?
A strong sense of identity is the foundation of a stable life. How do we strengthen our identity? How does identity formation work?
Jesus often used parables—short stories with deeper spiritual meanings—to convey truths about the Kingdom of God. In the Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar, Jesus shares a story about two men with different lives and what happens after they die. One is wealthy and lives luxuriously, while the other, named Lazarus, suffers daily. Surprisingly, after death, Lazarus goes to heaven, but the rich man goes to hell. This shocks people who thought wealth meant God's approval.
Jesus teaches that what comes after death isn't about being good or rich; it's about believing in Him. Heaven isn't earned by actions but received through trust in Jesus. The rich man's issue wasn't wealth but prioritizing it over God. Jesus warns against placing anything above God. The good news is Jesus offers hope to everyone. Trusting in him guarantees a place in heaven. Making Jesus the center of our lives is the wisest decision we can make.
Often in life it seems that God is moving slower then we expect. Why does it sometimes feel like God is late? How can we trust him in these moments? What can we learn?
Psalm 103 is a different type of prayer. Rather than making requests, the psalmist spends the prayer talking to his own soul. Why is this important? What does it mean to preach to yourself?
Psalm 103 is a different type of prayer. Rather than making requests, the psalmist spends the prayer talking to his own soul. Why is this important? What does it mean to preach to yourself?
Psalm 98 tells us to praise the Lord. Why does the Bible consistently command us to praise? Why does the psalmist celebrate the arrival of the judge?
Throughout the Psalms we see a template for prayer that often doesn’t come naturally. We often pray buttoned up prayers to God. We see the Psalmists pray open and honest prayers. How do we learn to be vulnerable with God in prayer?
The Psalms serve as a prayer pattern for the people of God. Many people read the psalms, but have you learned to pray the psalms? Psalm 1 serves as an introduction to show us how.
Singleness is often not spoken of in the church. What does God have to say about singleness? How should married and single people serve one another and walk with one another?
Marriage requires that we constantly learn. How is God's vision for marriage different from our culture? What can we learn?
Friendship is an essential part of life but today we seem to have fewer close friends than ever. How do followers of Jesus develop intentional friendships? What makes these relationships unique?

The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most well-known passages in the Bible. It teaches a life of virtue that goes beyond what anyone can obtain. How do we live it? How do we grow to obey the teaching of Christ?
Who are we as a church? What are our values? Where should we focus? The more clearly we see Jesus, the more clearly we understand ourselves.

How do you respond to the needs of others? Do you ever feel overwhelmed or unsure how to help those in need? In this sermon, we learn a powerful and practical way to face any need with trust and confidence in God.
As we look to adopt a deeper habit of prayer, it's urgent for us to look at Jesus’ own habits as he withdraws to the quiet to be alone with His Father. (Luke 5:12-16) In a day of seemingly unlimited distraction and noise, God offers the same respite for our souls in time alone with Him that He had with his Son.

We want to encourage our church to take the time to listen to what God is saying to us about himself through the beauty and majesty of His creation, but also acknowledge that we need the Scriptures and his "final word" to us in Jesus to have hearts that can truly and humbly receive what he's trying to say to us in our daily lives. As we take the bow before God, we realize our hearts were made to hear and receive from him all along.
Every person is marked by desire. We desire life, peace, and purpose, but we also desire beauty. We don’t just want to experience beauty. We want to become beautiful. Discover how in part 1 of this series.
