Sermons and Talks from Daylight Berea are now available to anyone listening in their cars, mowing the grass, or whatever they do when they find time to listen to podcasts.
After, a long time of planning and preparation, we have reached our launch day!
This sermon looks at what it means to be Daylight Church in Berea, and what it is that we aim to become.
When Jesus talks about Heaven, he is not pointing us to where we will go when we die; he is talking about bringing Heaven to Earth. The Hope of the Church is the hope of Heaven uniting with Earth. This church aims to carry the promise and to point toward that great Hope which sits on EVERYBODY's heart.

(Pre-Launch Beta Sermon) Jukebox Sermon 3 Fleetwood Mac Dreams
Fleetwood Mac's Dreams pulled off an amazing feet when it launched back to the spotlight, hitting number 1 on iTunes. It was part of a viral TikTok when Nathan Apodaca got out of his car, and road his longboard to work, drinking Tropicana Cranberry Juice from the bottle, while listening to the classic rock song. The perfect voice of Stevie Nix was introduced to a new generation. It makes sense that Nathan would use this song, because of the serenity which pours forth from Nix's vocals playing off one of the best baselines of all time. This song is not what it seems though... it captures the lack of awareness of Stevie Nix's boyfriend who appears ready to leave her and play the field, but if you look closer and listen to the lyrics, you can tell that the man who thinks everything is looking up is actually on the brink of disaster. Stevie treats the situation with appropriate boundaries, doesn't try to manipulate the situation, gives the man the freedom to act with wisdom or to act with foolishness, and reap disaster on his life.
This is much the same way that God operates. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, which is an idea that we need to explore. Obeying God and recognizing Him as the King of our lives is the foundation of a life worth living, and foolishness is the desire to walk away. Walking away might seem attractive and harmless, yet if you look closer, disaster awaits.
Beta Sermon Number 3: Remastered. When we first recorded this sermon, the echo was so bad that it was unlistenable. Now with better sound, the obscene amount of echo is now minimized. Even with improved sound, it is fun to see how much better we continue to get at sermon production value.

Prelaunch Beta Sermon: Jukebox Sermon 2: Queen We Are the Champions
Queen's We Are the Champions is not the perfect song for facing our giants, but it might be a perfect for celebrating our dead giants. Let's look at how David's epic battle with Goliath falls short of being the peak of his life, but it does function as the springboard to the larger call that would define his entire life. Let's look at how our own small victories lead to a life that is worth living and that leaves a genuine legacy which is worthy of the name of Jesus, which all of us called and capable of living up to. Our prayer is that this sermon serves as your own springboard, which leads you to the purpose and significance that you yearn for in your own heart.

Still not as good as the newer ones with better audio equipment, but upgraded audio software has made these a much better listening experience.

The Four Pillars of Daylight: Study
Daylight Church in Berea is like the one in Louisville and the ones yet to be planted: We all are held up by four pillars: Worship, Study, Service, and Rest. Ultimately, our church is supposed to point to Jesus, but we recognize if we neglect any of these four pillars, that our church's mission will become distorted. in the second sermon of this series, we look at what it means to be a community that Studies.

Jukebox Series Episode 1: Hank Williams Jr. Family Tradition
This is the first ever sermon at Daylight Church Berea. It is also the first of what hopefully will be a long ongoing sermon series, called the Jukebox Sermons which allows you to suggest songs and allows me to find a creative way to showcase a Biblical theme with your song. Let's look at Hank's unique position and see if there are any parallels with his outlaw country dispute with the Nashville establishment and the way that many of us have had with our former churches or experiences with organized religion. Let's use this as a springboard to look at the "origin story" of Daylight Church Berea, and the role that each of us brings to our expression of faith into the world.
People frequently get tired of hearing the same sermons over and over again, but when you start looking at deeper themes in scripture, their eyes start glazing over. The Jukebox series is one way of keeping it fresh and simultaneously fun, while we look at the word of God as a community.
