With You: Arbor Road Church: Recent Episodes
Arbor Road Church High School Ministry
Welcome to With You - where we seek to grow deeper in our relationship with God. Even though we're not with you, we're With You. Five mini episodes are released every Sunday-Thursday morning. Listen daily while brushing your teeth and by the end of the week we will have read the passage (Sundays), learned the context (Mondays), dug into the main point (Tuesdays), been challenged to live it out (Wednesdays), and gotten to hear from a special guest (Thursdays). Hosted by Tony and Phoebe.
On Wednesday August 8th, friend of Tony, Pastor Mikey Powers, spoke on Ecclesiastes 3 and asked the question, "What time is it for you?" We wrestled with what we should do with the things that grieve us and how the Lord invites us to Himself in the midst of those things.
This past Wednesday FCA Director and friend of HSM, Jake Hardy, shared on the emotion of Joy. He emphasized the difference between "happiness" and "joy" and encouraged us to know where true joy comes from: Jesus Christ! Take a moment to be encouraged by Jake's message!
This past Sunday, Pastor Tony walked us through WHY and HOW HSM loves the city of Long Beach. We looked specifically at the Great Commission in Matthew 28 and Acts 1 and how Christ has sent us out as His ambassadors. We should take that role seriously!
This past Sunday, Phoebe spoke on the HSM Value, We Build Up. She emphasized that we need to be "built up" on a solid foundation if we desire to stand firm. And as Jesus shares in Luke 6, He is the only firm foundation that anyone can build on. Check it out!
As followers of Jesus, we have received the greatest gift we could ever imagine and have joy that cannot be taken from us. Yet, our world is broken and we still experience and witness suffering. So what do we do when we feel sad?
This past Wednesday, June 26th, Brian To spoke on the emotion of sadness. He brought us through Psalm 88, which gives us permission to bring ourselves to God when we are sad. He knows our sadness and is present in it. You have permission to lament to God.
On Sunday June 16th, Pastor Tony taught on the HSM value All Are Welcome. Why do we welcome any high schooler into HSM? Because Jesus welcomes all people to Himself! But even more important than us welcoming people into HSM is welcoming others into the Kingdom of God. If we are unwilling to share the Gospel with people, we are unwilling to embody this value.
Fullerton Free youth pastor and former ARC Intern, Amy Atienza, joined us as we asked the question, "What do I do when I experience fear?" She encouraged us that there is beauty to our fears because it pushes us to God, but that we also should go to war with our fears. Let us surrender our fears to God over and over again.
On Sunday June 9th, HSM Ministry Associate Brody Austin, spoke on our Student Ministry value: We Seek Truth. We unpacked John 8:31-32 and then spent some time diving into resources provided to help us "seek truth". Remember... Truth is discovered, not created. So go out and find it!
All summer, HSM is bringing in guest speakers to teach us on "What do I do when I feel _______ ?". On June 5th, Arbor Road Pastor, Megan Marshman kicked us off with teaching on the emotion of anger.
Is anger sinful? Is it okay to be angry? What do I do with my anger? Give this message a listen to find out/
This Summer, we are teaching through our Student Ministry Values. We will look at what Scripture teaches us about that Value and then take time engaging a practice that lives it out.
On Sunday June 2nd, Pastor Tony brought us to John 15:11 to unpack how Jesus is for our joy. Because of Jesus, we have the freedom to worship God with all that we are.
On Sunday May 26th, Pastor Phoebe walked HSM through our last "sense" of experiencing God. While Jesus had a physical body and physically touched many, He is no longer physically present. Now, we have the Holy Spirit and embody the "hands and feet" of Jesus as the Church.
This whole series is all about experiencing God personally. If God is able to be known, we should be able to sense Him. On Sunday May 12th, Pastor Tony spoke on the idea of SMELLING & TASTING God. While God doesn't have a smell or taste (as far as we know), we still use our noses and tongues to glorify Him.
This whole series is all about experiencing God personally. If God is able to be known, we should be able to sense Him. On Sunday May 5th, Pastor Phoebe spoke on the idea of HEARING God.
This Sunday our HSM Intern, Brody, spoke on our 3rd Sexy Lie: My other half is out there. We learned instead that Scripture teaches us that 1) God fully knows us, 2) God fully loves us, & 3) Only God completes us.
On Sunday April 21st, Pastor Phoebe taught on the lie, "I'm pure because I'm a virgin." We learned that 1) Virginity is not salvation, 2) Chastity is God's design, & 3) Worship God in temptation.
It's a hard hitting reminder that true purity is not found in what we do, but what Christ has done.
This Sunday, Pastor Tony introduced us to the new series Sexy Lies. We are addressing the alluring lies about sex & relationships that we will fall for if we aren’t careful.
The first lie we tackled is "My sexuality is the most important thing about me". Give this a listen to find out what this lie is so convincing and what God has to say in response.
**Our microphone cut out for 2 minutes at the 15:21 mark. The 3 nuggets to take away from the first point are: 1) We are created in God's image, 2) God created Eve as a complement to Eve (and vice versa), & 3) Sex has preset purposes.
On March 17th, Pastor Phoebe broke the seal on all things regarding the eternal address for those who are in Christ: Heaven.
HSM Pastor Phoebe Morris teaches on the Present Heaven - where we go when we die. We know that the Present Heaven is now, it is accessed by faith, and it is a physical place. Revelation 6:9-11
HSM Intern Brody Austin shares about the afterlife; why heaven and hell are our only two possible destinations for eternity. 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12

This Sunday, Pastor Tony spoke on Mary, the mother of Jesus. We learn from Mary's life about how God desires faithfulness and Mary was very faithful!
This past Sunday, Pastor Phoebe continued our Advent series as we look at the women in Jesus' genealogy found in Matthew 1. We looked at the story of Bathsheba and how God can use evil for redemption.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, we are here to walk through the pain with you. In no way do we excuse or condone that kind of behavior. God is good and guarantees justice for all wrong-doing in this world.

This week we began our Women of Advent series, as we look at some of the women mentioned in Jesus' genealogy found in Matthew 1. HSM Intern, Morgan, gave us the message this morning, teaching us how God is capable of using anyone for His glory.
This week in HSM, our intern Brody wrapped up our Asking for a Friend series by parsing out what the differences between judging people vs. offering compassionate wisdom. Brody encouraged us to consider what it means to be wells that overflow with fresh water instead of wells with salt water. Listen to understand what he's getting at!
Also... we apologize for not posting over the last few weeks. Pastor Tony was in and out and forgot to ask for the messages to be recorded. Hopefully we will continue getting these HSM messages up!
On Sunday October 22nd, Pastor Tony taught on the difference between loneliness and solitude. Every person on planet earth has had to deal with loneliness, but the solution is not found in more friends.
On Sunday October 8th, Pastor Tony talked through the difference between resentment and forgiveness. We learned about how God's forgiveness towards us ought to impact how we forgive others.

This week, Pastor Phoebe spoke to MSM and HSM on how to share the Gospel practically. Students were then given the opportunity to practice together.
If you would like to watch the video shown during the message, you can find it here.
This week, Tony walks through How to... Mess Up. As Christians, we get to bring all of shortcomings before God, confessing where we need His grace and forgiveness. Tony starts with a short-story (the audio begins about a minute in) and then transitions into what confession is, what it isn't, and what happens when we don't confess.

HSM Pastor, Phoebe Morris, teaches on Revelation 21:1-8 on Sunday, December 18th.
Advent is the season where we hold in tension looking back and look forward. Advent literally means “arrival”, usually the arrival of royalty. We look back and remember that God, our King, took on human flesh in order to live with and die for us. He arrived humbly, as a vulnerable infant. In a similar way to the Jews anticipating the arrival of the Messiah two thousand years ago, we as Christians anticipate a second advent of Jesus. Jesus IS coming back. And He WILL finish what He started; He WILL make all things new. As we wait for Him to return, we long for the things that He will fix ADVENT-UALLY.
