Jesus told us to love our enemies—Which is much easier said than done. Who exactly are our enemies? What is Jesus asking from us? Our speaker, Thomas Guryan, helps us define who our enemies and neighbors are, and gives practical tips to move from hate or enmity to the love that Jesus talks about.
Based on Matthew 5, plus some personal experience, Pastor Chris Bacon proposes this big idea: "Participate, don't retaliate," and gives practical advice on creating peace in your life by participating in the way of Jesus and not paying back an insult.
We continue to read Matthew 5 as Pastor Isaac exposes what makes our word count: Honesty—plus all the reasons we could have for not being honest with ourselves and the world.
Jesus talked about lust. So did we. Pastor Isaac unravels the topic of lust, sex, adultery, and even divorce to expose what Jesus was pointing out: Behaviors that reveal the disconnect between our bodies and souls.
Pastor Isaac leads a reflection on conflict, and explains how the way we deal with conflict in our relationships exposes the state of our hearts toward God and people.
Pastor Isaac explores the question, "How do you relate to God?" and exposes how our different answers to this question can change our relationships inside God's Kingdom.
Pastor Isaac leads a reflection on Matthew 5:1-12, demonstrating how happiness can be found in the picture and the promise of the Kingdom of God.
Pastor Isaac leads a reflection on Matthew 4:17-25, demonstrating how being a disciple of Jesus is about a journey that requires commitment and endurance, as opposed to the glamorous destination.
Patience is against our nature. So what do we do while we wait for something? Whether it's a career or school opportunity, a relationship, or a direction of what comes next, do we believe God hasn't forgotten about us? Tyler Reagin leads a reflection on what to do while you wait.
To wrap up our series, Messy Church, Pastor Isaac Trevino reflects on the foundation of the gospel–Jesus Christ and his resurrection, and how this revelation has the power to make broken things whole.
Religion has taught us that the mark of spiritual maturity is gifting. However, Paul clarified long ago in 1 Corinthians how love is what we should aim for. Britt Nelson walks us through the famous passage in 1 Corinthians 13 to teach us the way we should show love in the body of Christ.
Finding unity in the world we live in is not easy. It can actually be very messy. There is so much we must give up, but also so much to gain. Pastor Korey Deck reads 1 Corinthians and invites us to reflect on humility as a means to find unity.
As Christians, we want to seek unity in the body of Christ. With that in mind, how can we still have theological discussions? How can we navigate important issues we see in our culture when our opinions are different? Pastor Isaac explores these questions with a simple and yet, complex answer: Jesus is LORD is the only hurdle.
From the time that Paul wrote to the church in Corinth until today, there is something about the Kingdom of God that remains relevant and true: In Christ, we win by losing. Our good friend, Jarian Felton, exposes how victory in Christ means the loss of our preferences and selfish desires.
While looking at life and culture through a Christ-centered view, where do we draw the line for our freedom? If Christianity is not simply a rule book of Do's and Don'ts, how do we navigate our freedom in Christ while loving His people? Pastor Isaac answers these questions and more in this message of our series Messy Church.
Maybe you grew up with a great example of a healthy marriage. Maybe you didn't. What we know is that marriage can get messy. Where is God in this mess, and what is His wish for humanity, communicated through Paul in 1 Corinthians? Pastor Korey reflects on how marriage will not make you happier but holier.
In our culture today, being single is perceived as a punishment, as less of a gift than being married. Pastor Isaac leads a reflection on how singleness is just as unique to God as marriage, along with advice on how to enjoy your time as a single person, not taking for granted this God-given gift.
Continuing our reading of 1 Corinthians, Pastor Doug Hankins leads a reflection on the unhealthy relationships that we build by associating with people for our self-validation. He calls this "Idolatry of Self." But God has something different to tell us about who we are and who we should put our expectations on.
In the first episode of our series, Messy Church, Pastor Isaac leads a reflection on 1 Corinthians, pointing out the things that create messiness and division in the church. Apostle Paul knew back then what we know now: Christians who choose to live in the flesh, that is, in a spiritually immature way, cause division and hurt in the church body.
If not through internet life hacks, where can we find real wisdom? How can we live our lives while having Christ as the center? We start the series "Messy Church" by observing how Paul advised the church in Corinth to find wisdom–One that we can live by. By applying the wisdom of God, we move forward from the messy "me" centered living to the Christ-driven life.
When things don't go our way in life, the dissatisfaction will often leave us wishing for whatever comes next. But is happiness always just in the future, one step away? How can we experience happiness right now, during a hard time? This is the reflection that Pastor Isaac teaches in the last message of our series, "Help!"
Over the course of this sermon series, we have been learning ways that we can depend and participate in God's help in our lives. Our guest, Alec Brockell, helps us reflect on the ways that God helps us; Not just for our own benefit, but so that we can help others around us.
As followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to find community with others, but also the responsibility to be the ones who build a place of belonging, of inclusion and invitation. Pastor Korey Deck invites us to reflect on transforming the "about me" to "about us," and transforming the world around us into a world of love and belonging.
God meets our needs: Including our physical needs. Food, safety, shelter. God is present and visible in our natural world just as much as He is in our spiritual world. Our special guests, Jarian and Shawna Felton, and Britt Nelson, share their own stories and experiences of how God met their needs and provided help in different circumstances.
All of us face some kind of adversity in life, some kind of need that goes unmet. Where does our help come from? How is God providing help for us in every area of our life, and how should we respond to his help? Pastor Isaac starts our new series by reflecting on how we can both depend on God's help and participate in it.
Feeling lonely, behind, or disconnected? Maybe all of the above? We know that finding community as a young adult can be difficult, especially the kind that brings growth into our individual lives. Pastor Isaac shares advice on finding community that can build us up to maturity in Christ.
Change is the way we allow God's healing in us and through us. In this message, we look at the story of Jonah and his resistance to God changing his heart. Listen as Pastor Isaac gives advice on how we can measure change and seek growth for our good and the good of the Kingdom of God.
In Jonah 2, he is in the belly of the fish. It looks like he could die there, but sometimes the rescue of God takes us places we didn't imagine we could get. Listen as Pastor Isaac navigates this text and notices the rescue of God amidst Jonah's despair.
Jonah's resistance to God's leadership in his life led him to a stormy situation. What does his story communicate about the human experience? Is it our tendency to run from God? Pastor Isaac proposes how we can identify the Jonah in us and face God.
Living in a superficial world, most of us long for meaningful relationships. How do we cultivate them? Jarian Felton shares wisdom from the book of James on how the act of listening can change your relationships for the better.
Have you ever been close to a person you knew you couldn't trust? Did you regret allowing that person to have influence in your life? Sophie Brockell brings the wisdom this week, sharing what is like to be in a foolish relationship and how that can make a fool out of you.
How do we limit suffering in our lives? What wisdom can the Bible provide that will help us be more prudent? Listen to Josh Celestin as he shares biblical principles that can help you build your life on the solid foundation: Jesus Christ.
Adult friendships are way harder than childhood ones. How can we navigate them? How do we deal with the experience of pain, confusion and exhaustion within our friendships? How do we sharpen one another? Listen as Dan O'Toole shares wisdom from the Bible on how friendships can forge our character.
Have you ever felt crippling fear when making decisions? Have you ever felt that if you took a wrong step, God would be mad? David Branch opens our new series by sharing biblical wisdom on how to make decisions in life, with hope instead of fear.
Whether it be internal or external, we all have experienced chaos in our lives. How can we see it through? How to find peace amongst the storm? What kind of action steps God leads us to take when our circumstances feel out of our control? Pastor Isaac shares advice on how our chaos can reveal trust in God.
To finalize the Sacred Work series, Pastor Isaac answers the million dollar question for a lot of us. Listen in for a perspective on what the Bible says about your hope and dreams for the future, and how these things can answer this one big question you have in the present.
Continuing our series, Sacred Work, Pastor Isaac addresses the question "Where can I find a job that has meaning?" And explains that if we are to find meaning in our jobs, it will be by fulfilling our ultimate calling: To serve others.
In a broken world, the work that God designed to be good can be full of unmet expectations. Reality falls short of what we imagine the dream job to be. Listen as Pastor Isaac introduces the idea that our cursed work can point us to finding ultimate satisfaction in Jesus.
Some of us have jobs to survive. Some of us have a job to get to the next thing. But why do our jobs matter? Listen to Pastor Isaac as he explains that all work is sacred work, kicking off our new series.
The power of sex is undeniable. The Bible, science, and culture all agree on that. How then can we view sex in a healthy way? What is the perspective on sex that can liberate us from our shame, and allow us to treat it the way God intended? Britt Nelson shares a reflection on this topic which finalizes our series, Modern Romance.

What is the perspective on sex that can liberate us from our shame, and allow us to treat it the way God intended? Britt Nelson shares a reflection on this topic which finalizes our series, Modern Romance.
For many of us, the longing for a relationship and all its perks truly means the longing for family. Alec Brockell shares his own story of somebody who has been on the receiving end of Love, Sex and Dating sermons for years, and eventually learned how they led him to finding family through God.
As it pertains to Modern Romance, it's essential that we navigate how to date. What are the dating steps that will protect us from heartbreak? How can we honor God through dating, and honor the people we date? Pastor Isaac shares a reflection based on the book of Galatians that points us towards becoming healthy individuals, in healthy relationships.
Life does not come with instructions on choosing a partner, but maybe we can help! Pastor Isaac presents a new perspective on dating–Different from what culture has taught us. He also introduces practical steps to date "friendly" and wisely, including what to look for in a potential date.
We can't navigate relationships without addressing something we all have experienced at some point: Singleness. Dan O'Toole is here to share his vulnerable and unique perspective on being single. We hope his story can empower you and bring clarity to your own, no matter the season of life.
Well, friends. It IS cuffing season, and many of us are thinking about romantic relationships–The start of one, the end of one, or the lack of one! Tune in to this episode to hear from Isaac how we can find eternal confidence in Jesus, which allows us to navigate love, sex and dating better than we ever have before.
How do we hear from God, especially when we feel lost and alone? We had the pleasure to be led by Dana Fricker into this reflection. She shared her personal learning experience while leading us to understand how we can identify God's voice in our lives, which enables us to take the steps he has told us to take.
On our last week of "Vices," Joshua Celestin dives deep to help us understand why a dissatisfied heart will always lead to a disappointed life, as exemplified in 1 Timothy 6:6-10. His reflection of this theme comes with practical application points that guide us into seeking godliness and contentment.
Continuing the "Vices" series, David Branch shares with us his personal story of how jealousy has impacted his life. We reflect on 1 Samuel 18 while looking for ways to identify jealousy in our own lives and respond, in order to build God's Kingdom, not our kingdom.
In this week's sermon, we navigate Lust and sexual sin. We invite you to "leave shame at the door," as we process what lust looks like for different people, and what are the steps towards the healing that Jesus provides.
This week we are introduced to the first specific Vice in this series: Gossip. We look at Proverbs to process what gossip is, why we do it and how we can respond as followers of Jesus, to bring unity in relationships that might have been divided by gossip.
Introducing the new series, Isaac defines Vices as "addictions and habits that have a grip on our lives." He encourages us to embrace the reality of our brokenness while providing practical steps to aim towards God's ideal design for us.
This week's sermon was out of Romans 7:14-25–8:2.
To dive deeper on the topic, we recommend "Changes That Heal" by Dr. Henry Cloud: https://www.amazon.com/Changes-That-Heal-Everything-Everyone-ebook/dp/B000SEPHPQ
Limp: "Our sinful temptations, impure motives, or weaknesses that we see as flaw." Kicking off the 2021 Fall Semester, Pastor Isaac Trevino leads a reflection on becoming aware of our limps and vulnerably leading with it, as revealed in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10.
What gives life meaning? Ministry can help us look backwards and forwards as we discover meaning in our lives.
Pain is all around us. Just one look and we can see trust being broken, people being used, and many other sorts of maltreatment. Dealing with all that makes us want to lash out at the world, but Jesus gives us a better way to withstand suffering.
Alec Brockell examines the way Jesus models dealing with pain and suffering in John 18, and how instead of inflicting pain, we can bring healing through our trials. —— The Table exists because broken people need a place. We are a family that gathers weekly to hear the truth of Jesus.

Psalm 25 1 In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. 2 I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. 3 No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. 4 Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. 5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Watch as Pastor Doug and our Table team talk about the hope in Jesus.
Is God good? How do we know that God is good to us? What does the Bible say about God's goodness?
"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" – Matthew 7:11

"What's most true about you is not your relationships, finances, and career. What's most true about you is the love, peace, and joy that you have in Christ."
This week at The Table, we're kicking off our new series, I've Always Wondered! If you're like us, it's possible that are currently going through (or have recently gone through)what psychologists call a "quarter-life crisis." This is when, in your mid-twenties, you find yourself disillusioned with the progress you've made in life, especially in the areas of your relationships, finances, and career. When caught in that disillusionment, it's easy to doubt all of the decisions you've made up until this point in your life, leading you to feel panicked, lost, and even depressed. If that resonates with you at all, join us this week on The Table Podcast as Pastor Isaac Trevino helps us consider what Jesus wants us to know in midst of our quarter-life crises. —— The Table exists because broken people need a place.

Pastor Doug kicks off our series on the characteristics of God. In Genesis 1 and 2, The Bible presents God as both great and good.
Kicking off the semester, Pastor Doug helps us lock in on our mission to reach the 200k college students living in the greater Orlando metro area, who are part of UCF, Valencia, and Disney.
Pastor Doug asks, "Does it seem fair that you have to give money in order to be a member of a church community?" Malachi answers, "Giving is a critical component of being part of a community. We must learn to value those whom we value." Give then live.
Pastor Doug takes us into Malachi 2:17-3:5 to help us see what Malachi recommends as a response to the problem of evil and injustice.
Our Valencia Campus Director, Alec Brockell, helps us to see how opting out of ministry leads to the people opting out of God. Selfish ministry, it would seem, produces suffering people.
Pastor Doug begins our study of the book of Malachi. In the first five verses, he helps us to understand a complicated Hebrew Idiom, God's sovereignty over fairness, and the reality that fairness is a uniquely Christian concept.
Our Valencia Campus Director, Alec Brockell, helps us understand Jesus's message in Luke 12 about the best thing we can invest in.
Our College Pastor, Doug Hankins, uses Star Wars as a way to unpack cultural apologetics. In the end we see that Star Wars actually preaches the Gospel.
Doug starts a conversation in our fellowship about the importance of leadership and what we look for in leaders in our ministry.
In this message, Doug Helps us understand that God does not look at us as our guilt and shame. Instead, when God looks at Christians, He sees Jesus' blood and righteousness.
In this message, Doug talks about Joy and why it is a better alternative to our flaky pursuit of the emotion of happiness.
Is being afraid something that is permitted by Scripture? Pastor Doug weighs in and offers a gospel-centered approach to fear and fearfulness in The Bible.
Are there only a few emotions that The Bible recommends? Or does the Bible give Christians permission to experience a wide-range of emotions? Is it even okay to be angry? Pastor Doug weighs in and offers a gospel-centered approach to emotions that radically shakes up the popular views from cultural Christianity.
The most normative vision for discipleship, according to Scripture, is the single life. Jesus was single. Paul was single. They wrote the majority of the New Testament. Pastor Doug offers a challenge to embrace singleness as the content way of discipleship.
