Pastor Robert leads us through an examination of Paul's example of Christian contentment at the closing of this letter to the Philippians.

Kisses throughout Scripture are a sign of affection, a symbol of endearment, and an expression of love. Knowing this, it makes the idea of betraying someone with a kiss all the more despicable, and it is woefully despicable that the Savior of the World was betrayed with a kiss. As we explore this passage on the arrest of Jesus, we are going to see Him navigate the path to the cross with truth, com...

In the garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus was standing on the cusp of bearing both the wrath of man and the wrath of God for sinners, more than anything, He wanted time with His Father in prayer. When we, as Christians, are faced with such incredible difficulty and pain, there is always the temptation to despair, to depend upon ourselves, or to turn to other worldly avenues to cope. But the reality...

In this passage, Jesus moves from the awe and wonder of the Lord's Supper into the revelation of His betrayal. Through His words to His disciples, we are led to consider some of the facets of Christ-Like leadership.

In this sermon from Chapter 2 of Song of Solomon, Pastor Jon English explains the Shepherd King provides restful shade for his beloved.

In this text this morning, Jesus is preparing to observe passover with His disciples for the last time. This is the day before His murder, and everything necessary for His betrayal and arrest had already been set in motion. As He undertakes this final evening with His disciples, He establishes with them the ordinance of the Lord's Supper, which remains central to worship in the church today. T...

Pastor Jordan helps us see that John is writing about a God who manifested himself to this world in order that we would have fellowship with Him and one another.

Sean DeMars was this year's Men's Conference speaker. In this sermon, he challenges believers to remember that we are citizens of a kingdom that is greater and more glorious than any other – the Kingdom of Christ. Therefore, we should live in a manner worthy of our King, engaging in fearless fighting, standing firm in one Spirit, and bearing testimony to the world of the destruction of the...

At this point in the text, it is the week of Passover – one of the most important Jewish holidays of the year where the people commemorated God's deliverance from their slavery in Egypt. Jesus was teaching openly in the Temple courts, and the religious leaders were furious. They wanted Him dead – but they feared the crowds. They might not have found a way, but then they found a co-conspirator...

As we grow up, we all learn to read different signs – relational signs, signs of the weather, investment and business signs, etc. But it is amazing how in our sinfulness, we can be willfully ignorant to very clear spiritual signs. As we wrap up exploring Jesus' end times discourse in Luke, we find His strongest admonition yet for His people to be focused on spiritual realities and ready for Hi...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 16:5-24, Pastor Jon English explains how we are to refresh the souls of the saints, only having first been refreshed in Christ.

In this passage, Jesus comes back to the subject of the destruction of the temple to basically provide bookends to the last days. The first major judgment will be that of the nation of Israel in 70 A.D., but the final judgement is also on the horizon. The core message is that we live in light of the pending judgement of the universe. Unbelievers need to flee from the wrath to come, and believers c...

As we come into this next passage in chapter 21, we see that the people and the disciples are still enamored with external adornments – on outward appearance. So Christ takes the opportunity to remind them that the things of this world so admired by men (like the Temple!) are only temporary and will be consumed in judgment. He also takes it as an opportunity to prepare them (and us) for the trials...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 16:5-24, Pastor Jon English explains how devotion to the service of the saints, which is commended by Paul, is often lacking in believers, and how Christ is the perfect example of such devotion.

In our text this morning, we have Christ Himself presenting us with a contrast between two kinds of people: a contrast between the religious elite and impoverished commoners. As He warns the crowds about the religious leaders, we see the character of corruption, greed, and man-pleasing that will receive a greater condemnation. But as He commends the widow giving her two pennies, we see the humilit...
