January 23, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - This sermon based on Genesis 26:34-28:9, considers the messy circumstances under which God's blessing and salvation purposes move forward. The mess of it all is an encouragement, highlighting how God's Word stands in the midst of human failure.

January 16, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - This sermon based on Genesis 26:1-33 looks at the life of faith as seen in Isaac's life. The life of faith: (1) doesn't always make sense, (2) discerns God's hand in the ordinary, (3) is spacious, (4) will eventually be made evident to all. Most importantly, the life of faith (5) begins with God.

January 9, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - King's Cross's annual reflection on God's grace during the year.

January 2, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - In Genesis 25:27-34 it appears that the selfishness of Jacob and Esau is driving the story, but actually God's sovereign grace is in the driver's seat, working out his purposes. God's amazing grace is driving the Christian's story, too.

December 26, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The birth of Jacob is marked by struggle: struggle with barrenness, struggle within the womb, and struggle outside the womb during the delivery. These struggles point to the conflict and struggle that will mark Jacob's life. Christians, too, can expect struggle, but hope in a great inversion when our struggles and suffering will be resolved.

December 19, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The death of Abraham provides an occasion to consider death. We will see four things about death: death is not natural; death is not the end; death conquers death; and for the Christian there's the hope of the resurrection.

December 12, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Abraham's servant carefully fulfills his duty to find a wife for Isaac. In the process, he helps us to see how we can discern God's work in our lives.

December 5, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Abraham gets his first bit of property in the Promised Land slowly and ordinarily. This, it turns out, is how God often works in our lives: slowly and ordinarily. This activity of God in our lives is nonetheless profound.

November 21, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Abimelech observes that God is with Abraham in all that he does. In Christ, God is with us, too, in all we do! This sermon explores how God's presence in our lives strengthens us both objectively and subjectively and gives us a longing to be with God.

November 14, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - With rising tensions between Hagar and Sarah and their boys, Abraham sends Hagar and Ishmael away. This passage shows that when the going gets tough, the faithful get going and the needy cry out.

October 24, 2021 (Pastor David Billingslea) - Along with the Gospel, Paul shared his very life with the church at Thessalonica, and we are called to do the same. This sermon explores how the call to share our very lives impacts evangelism.

October 17, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Lot walks by sight and unbelief and the result is fear in Lot and a legacy of fear that Lot leaves behind. If fear and anxiety are the fruits of unbelief, the fruits of belief are peace and joy. This sermon considers how one can find this peace and joy in, oddly enough, the fear of the Lord.

October 10, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) – Sin disintegrates lives, communities, families, and creation. We see in this passage how Lot’s city and home disintegrate under God’s judgment of Sodom. And yet, in one of the most shocking and scandalous examples of God’s grace, Lot is delivered from Sodom's judgment.

October 3, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Our desire for justice suggests that we want a judging God, and we have one! As this passage shows, we have a Judge who is caring, competent, and merciful.

September 26, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Abraham helps us better understand an important (and often neglected) Christian practice: hospitality. Along with seeing what Christian hospitality looks like, we also consider how we get the resources to be hospitable to others.

September 19, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - God's covenant with Abraham and the sign of circumcision help us to understand both the scope and nature of God's work in Abraham's life, and by extension, our own lives.

September 12, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - We often live life as though God wasn't around - as if God doesn't see us - and this approach brings a host of problems to our lives. Still, God sees us and cares for us much like he pursued and cared for Hagar when on the run from Sarah.

September 5, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The story of Abraham gives a rich picture of the life of faith. In this important passage, we see that biblical faith doubts and waits. God can handle both our doubts and waiting because his promises depend on his faithfulness, not ours.

August 29, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The dramatic rescue of Lot by Abram and the subsequent blessing of Melchizadek give us two pictures of what sin does to a person and two pictures of how a life of faith shapes a person. While sin cuts us off from God and bends us inward, faith enlarges the heart and extends it outward.

August 22, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - We would all like to be more generous toward others and courageous in the face of difficulty. This sermon explores Abram's generosity and courage as he works through conflict with his nephew, Lot. Abram's generosity and courage, like our own, depend upon trust in a caring and generous God.
