First Naples Podcast

In this episode, we explore the profound “Great Exchange” in 2 Corinthians 5—where Jesus takes on human sin so that we can be reconciled to God. Discover how, as believers, we are freed from our old, shame-filled identities and no longer need to hide from God, but instead are called to live as new creations, carrying the message of reconciliation into the world.

The vision of First Naples is to glorify God by being a multigenerational, multiethnic, multiplying church, that raises up the next generation of disciple makers, church planters, missionaries, and world changers, to reach our Neighbors to the Nations.

Who we are should dictate how we live.

Paul is trying to teach them that the only way you can live alive in Jesus is to live with love. Love is evidence of spiritual maturity and is the expression of Christ-like character.

Welcome to today’s episode as we kick off our new sermon series, Live Alive. Because Jesus is risen, we’re called to live with purpose, peace, and power—not weighed down by fear, distraction, or spiritual drift. In this conversation, we explore what it means to join Jesus on mission, live with eternity in view, and make our lives count for what truly matters.
