Monument Presbyterian Church

Knowing the good life isn't enough; we need God's grace to live it. Prayer, Communion, Baptism, confession, and worship sustain us in our relationship with Christ.

If worship is simply directing our heart toward God and worshipping Him above all else, why do we go to church? Why do we call that worship? And how is getting up on Sunday mornings to go to church at all related to our heart? Audio from Megan's sermon on June 21, 2026.

We’ve spent a lot of time on the law. But there’s likely still one big question lingering: What do we, as Christians, do with the law now? Because on the one hand, Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount that He did not come to abolish the law—not one jot or tittle—but to fulfill it. And on the other hand, Paul says: “You are not under the law.” So what are we supposed to do with that? Do we follow...

Over the past several weeks, we’ve been learning to see the law differently. Not as a random collection of rules— but as a gift. It is a way of life that marks us, allows us to live with a holy God, and shapes our moral and ethical imagination. It presents a vision for human flourishing. And when we begin to see it that way, something shifts. The law becomes beautiful, compelling, and even desirab...

Not all of these laws are trying to do the same thing. These are not abstract moral ideals dropped into a vacuum. They are laws given to a real people, in a real place, in a real moment in history. A people learning how to live together and be formed into a community that reflects the heart of God. When we begin to see that, something shifts. Audio from Megan's sermon on May 31, 2026.

Audio from Jeff's sermon on May 5th, 2026.

Not all of the laws we’ve been reading are trying to do the same thing. Some laws guide moral behavior. Some regulate worship and sacred space. But there is another category—one that is easy to miss. Laws that are not primarily about right and wrong…but about identity. Practices that mark out a people as belonging to God. Audio from Tyson's sermon on May 17, 2026.

This week marks a turning point in our series: how do we actually begin to understand these laws? Because when we read passages like these, they can feel strange, archaic, even unsettling. Isolating someone with a skin disease? Menstrual cycles and childbirth described as “unclean”? Rules about contact with the dead? These laws feel weird to us. Often, when we encounter these laws, we respond in o...

If you’ve ever tried to read the Old Testament law straight through, you’ve probably felt a bit disoriented. Some laws make sense. Others feel strange. And some leave you wondering what to do with them at all. Part of the challenge is the word itself. We call it “law”—but that word carries assumptions. It makes us think of modern legal systems: precise, exhaustive, and meant to be applied the same...

The law is not a rigid system of legal demands. It is a relational gift—God giving His people a way of life shaped by His presence, their identity in Him, and their calling in the world. And if we miss the story, we will inevitably misunderstand the law. Audio from Megan's sermon on April 26, 2026.

Most Christians don’t quite know what to do with the Old Testament law. We skim it. We avoid it. Or we assume it belongs to another time, another people, another covenant. And yet, Psalm 119—the longest chapter in the Bible—is a sustained meditation of delight: “Oh how I love your law…I rejoice in it like one who finds great treasure.” Which raises an uncomfortable question: Why do they love what...

Audio from Megan's sermon on March 29, 2026.

It is tempting to equate our self-worth with the tasks we accomplish. It is only when we can give up this unhealthy view of work that we experience life through our vocation. Audio from Tyson's sermon on March 22, 2026.

We are not machines–we work WITH God, not FOR God, and rest is part of our sent-ness. We are called to find a balance between work and rest. Being a workaholic doesn’t witness to Christ or reflect the character of God. Audio from Megan's sermon on March 15, 2026.

Witness isn’t another task to add—it’s reflecting God’s character to the people you already influence. We are meant to see the work we do and the people we are surrounded by as a place where we witness to Christ. Audio from Tyson's sermon on March 8th, 2026.

Vocation is not about prestige but about doing the task before you as an act of service. Whatever we do, we can do it with excellence and integrity that reflects God. It doesn’t matter if we are a plumber, a stay-at-home parent, or a pastor. It doesn’t matter if we are retired or working multiple jobs just to make ends meet. Whatever we do we can faithfully reflect Christ in how we work. Audio fro...

This week we shift from the theological background to the practices of living out a sent vocation. Paying attention to our gifts and desires along with the needs around us helps us to hear God’s calling on our lives. According to Parker Palmer (Let Your Life Speak), God’s calling often emerges where your deep joy meets the world’s deep need. Audio from Tyson's sermon on February 22, 2025.

Jesus invites those who are weary not to sit in the clouds eating grapes, but to put on his yoke. A yoke is an image of labor. Jesus’ yoke is not idleness but partnership, working with Jesus to bring about the kingdom. That is what it means to be his disciple. Discipleship means apprenticing with Jesus in daily labor. Audio from Megan's sermon on February 15, 2026.

When God makes us as Image-bearers he gives us the job of stewarding, cultivating, and creating. Vocation is about partnering with God’s care for creation. Audio from Tyson's sermon on February 8, 2026.

From the beginning God works: He creates. Then after creation is done, God rests. God demonstrates both and calls us to emulate both. Our rhythm of sent-ness is meant to follow God’s own pattern. Audio from Megan's sermon on February 1, 2026.

We are sent out carrying what we’ve received in community. Witness flows from encounter and formation. The church doesn’t just gather—it goes. We are meant to go out in mission together. Audio from Tyson's sermon on January 25, 2026.

Love is learned in real relationships. We grow in our faith and shaped into Christ-likeness through community. The church is the place where this happens. Audio from Megan's sermon on January 18, 2026.

God meets us in gathered worship and in relationships with people who are not like us. Worship as a place where we encounter God through voices not our own. In this passage we see that differences among the community are not portrayed as an obstacle, but as a means of grace. We learn who God is by encountering one another. Audio from Tyson's sermon on January 11, 2026.
