The Iowa City Church Podcast brings you the weekly sermons from our teaching team. We know life can feel confusing, overwhelming, and at times just plain hard. That's why we believe the best way to navigate life is by following King Jesus. Each episode is grounded in the Bible as our final authority and is designed to encourage, challenge, and guide you as you follow Him. Our hope is that these messages strengthen your faith and help you take your next step as a disciple—wherever you are on the journey.
What does it mean when the Bible says that God is light? It means God is glorious, God is true, and God is good. In a world filled with darkness, confusion, fear, and shame, God invites us to step into the light. In this message from our Love God series, we discover that God's light doesn't expose us simply to condemn us—it reveals the truth, leads us out of darkness, and brings freedom. When we know and love the God who is light, we no longer have to hide—we can walk confidently in His truth and goodness.

2. The God Who Is Set Apart
What does it mean that God is holy? In Isaiah 6, Isaiah encounters a God who is completely set apart, pure, and unlike anyone or anything else. Seeing God's holiness causes Isaiah to see himself more clearly—but it also leads to cleansing, forgiveness, and calling. In this message from our Love God series, Daniel McCoy reminds us that when we truly see God for who He is, our response is worship, surrender, and a willingness to say, "Here am I. Send me!"

1. What If God Is Bigger Than Your Box?
What does it really mean to love God? Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. But to truly love God, we first need to know Him as He really is.
In this opening message of our Love God series, we turn to Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman in John 4 and His remarkable statement: "God is Spirit." We all have a tendency to put God in a box—to reduce Him to a version we can understand, manage, or control. But Jesus reveals a God who cannot be contained by a building, limited to a location, or confined by our assumptions. He is bigger than our boxes, yet He is also personal, present, and wants to be known.
Jesus also tells us that the Father is seeking people who will worship Him "in Spirit and in truth." In this message, we'll explore what that means, confront some of the false ideas we carry about God, and discover what it looks like to worship Him with our whole lives. The more clearly we see who God is, the more deeply we will love Him.
