As we explore this part of Matthew's birth narrative, we find depicted three kinds of kings. There are kings who leave everything to pursue and worship the Lord. There is a king who sees the Messiah as a threat and deceptively seeks to preserve His own power and dominion. And then there is the King of Kings who, even as a toddler, is worthy of all praise, adoration, and devotion. Preacher: Dr. Sha...

The covenant of redemption, planned in eternity past between Father and Son, dawned in creation when Israel was under the boot of Roman and Herod the Great ruled with an iron fist over God's people. The incarnation of our Lord would come through some of the most unlikely means imaginable – a young carpenter named Joseph and his betrothed, Mary. In this sermon, we explore how God revealed His plan...

As Jesus had now begun to prepare His disciples for His upcoming sacrifice, He took three of the men with Him up to the top of Mt. Miron to experience the visage of His glorified self. Peter responded by expressing his desire to erect three tents for Christ, Moses, and Elijah and live with them in this moment of glory. His earnest desire is that of all true disciples, yet we must realize that the...

Who is Jesus? How we answer this question reveals the state of our heart as well as our destination in eternity. Jesus asked His own disciples this question at a critical point in His ministry, and as they acknowledged that He was the “Christ of God,” Jesus began preparing them for His work of redemption and the true path of discipleship. Scripture: Luke 9:18-27 Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew

2 Peter 1:11 Pastor Jordan Nelson We are accepted into the eternal kingdom of God based on the merits of Christ alone.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 7:25-40, Pastor Jon English explains Paul’s principle of living where God has called us, resumes tracing a biblical theology of singleness throughout redemptive history, and explains how Paul wants all believers (married or not) to live life in light of the end.

In Jesus, we have a Savior who not only satisfies every single spiritual need, He satisfies every relational need, every emotional need, and every physical need.

Preacher: Dr. Sh...

Orphan care is a picture of the gospel. God displayed His love for us while we were yet sinners. He set His affections upon us, drew us to Himself in salvation, enabled our faith, and adopted us as His very own through Christ. This sermon encourages the body of Christ to undertake orphan care out of a genuine concern for children in need and as an example of the love of Christ within our community...

In Luke 9, Jesus sends the disciples out to minister in order to gain some experience while He is still with them to offer direction, encouragement, and correction. He knows the day will come when He has returned to the Father and His disciples will have to follow the Holy Spirit and continue the work of gospel ministry. So through their example, we learn that we, too, are a “Sent” people engaging...

Jesus' power over the symptoms and effects of sin proved His power over sin itself. In this account of the raising of Jairus' daughter and the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, we see that Jesus Christ alone has the power to take away our sin and restore us to spiritual health. In our text, we have the first resurrection Jesus performed, showing His power and authority over the ultimat...

As Jesus casts the Legion of demons out of the man at Garesene, we see again several critical truths: that He is the One who holds all authority over every living thing, including demons; that demons know and believe more about Jesus than most human beings today; and finally, that He has a sovereign purpose that He is bringing to accomplishment through every encounter in ministry. Scripture: Luke...

Pastor Jordan deals with two of the most controversial doctrines in the Bible, effectual calling and unconditional election. These two doctrines in this passage are crucial in understanding our security and assurance. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:10

As we explore the Macedonian call and Lydia's subsequent conversion, we see God's faithfulness to lead in the ministry of evangelism as well as His faithfulness to redeem His children unto Himself. As believers consider these truths, we are to be driven by our love for Christ and confidence in Christ to share His gospel boldly wherever we go. Text: Acts 16:6-14 Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew
