Union Church - San Clemente, CA is a steady feed of biblical sermons from a local church community in San Clemente. The show is not built around interviews, news commentary, or devotional fragments. It is built around preaching. Recent episodes move through Galatians, Luke, Exodus, and Chronicles with an emphasis on Jesus, grace, faith, obedience, worship, and the life of the church. The tone is pastoral and plainspoken. It can be tender, but it is rarely vague. Sermons often begin in ordinary experience: schoolwork, paychecks, family dynamics, church anniversaries, or the stress of a building project. From there, the teaching works back into Scripture and asks what the passage reveals about God, people, and response. In Galatians, the focus falls on gospel freedom and the danger of trying to earn acceptance. In Luke, Easter becomes an argument that the resurrection is not merely a spiritual idea but the central event behind Christian hope. Good Friday is treated with sobriety, tracing rejection, suffering, and salvation at the cross. Exodus brings larger theological frames into view, including God’s name, Moses’ fear, Egyptian gods, the plagues, and deliverance. The preaching is willing to name sin, hardness, resistance, and judgment, but the repeated center is grace received through Christ. The feed also records congregational milestones, including an eighth birthday, elder installation, child dedications, and the Building Home initiative. That makes the show feel rooted in an actual church, not a detached teaching brand. Aaron appears as one of the pastors, conversational enough to joke with parents and serious enough to linger over Hebrew terms, historical claims, and communion responses. Listeners should expect sermons that explain, exhort, and pray. The pacing is familiar to Sunday preaching: Scripture reading, contextual setup, theological development, personal application, and a closing turn toward worship or the Lord’s Supper. Its best fit is for people who want Christian biblical teaching with a strong gospel-grace emphasis and a visible connection to congregational life.
Made for: For listeners seeking Christian biblical teaching that connects close Scripture reading with everyday discipleship, worship, and church community. It especially suits people who value sermons centered on Jesus, grace, and practical obedience.
What sets it apart: The feed pairs doctrinally focused exposition with the lived texture of a local church: elders, Easter services, child dedications, a building initiative, and regular communion responses. Its sermons keep returning to grace as the answer to performance-based religion.
We are a new church plant in San Clemente centered around the person of Jesus and the gospel of grace. At Union Church, we believe Christianity is better than a list of rules, and more than only knowing the right facts. The Christian life is a life transformed by the gospel, experienced in community, and lived out for the glory of God and the good of our neighbors.
This is where Exodus meets your excuses and refuses to let either stay comfortably abstract.

A Galatians sermon connects the pressure to earn approval with a call to trust Christ.

Moses' staff gives this sermon its question: what is already in a person's hand? The preacher begins with God telling Moses to throw down the staff and then pick up the serpent by its tail.

The preacher starts with Moses' question in Exodus 3:13-22: what does God's name mean? His answer turns on "I am who I am." He sets it beside the named gods of Egypt, each tied to a particular domain, and argues that God cannot be placed in the same sort of category.
