Park Street Church Sermons

Mark Booker | Matthew 26:57-68, 27:1-2 | This sermon look at Caiaphas and the Jewish leaders and explores how envy and the threat of losing control leads them to seek to eliminate Jesus. These dynamics can work, even quietly, in our own hearts today, but they can be overcome by the liberating truths of the gospel.

Mark Booker | Matthew 26:30-35, 69-75 | This sermon takes an honest look at Peter and the disciples in Jesus's final hours and exposes two temptations that lead us to deny Christ instead of denying ourselves. We also see a hopeful glimpse of God's grace that restores even the worst deserters.

Mark Booker | Matthew 26:6-13 | At the beginning of the passion narrative, we encounter an unnamed woman whose extravagant act of devotion to Jesus challenges us to examine our own devotion. We explore what it looks like to walk in this woman's footsteps and to honor Jesus with our lives.

Mark Booker | Exodus 33:12-34:10 | Moses's intercession leads to God revealing his character as "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love"—showing that His presence among sinful people depends on his grace. This ultimately points to his glory on the cross where God is made most fully known as Jesus bears our sin and shows us mercy. This revelation of God is the good ne...

Mark Booker | Exodus 32:1-14 | We learn an important lesson from Israel's impatience which leads them to idolatry with the golden calf—seeking a god they can see and control rather than waiting on the LORD. At the same time, we see Moses's powerful intercession reveal God's relenting grace and pointing us to Jesus, our greater mediator who lives to make intercession for us (Heb 7.25).

Mark Booker | Exodus 29:38-46 | This sermon explores what living with the Lord entails.

All of this points to the ultimate goal that God would dwell among his people and...

Mark Booker | Exodus 25:1-22 | God is a God of grace who demonstrates that grace to his people throughout the book of Exodus. As we begin the last section of Exodus, this sermon explores the gracious gift of God's presence to his people. This gift points beyond itself to the greater gift of God's presence through his Son and his Spirit, and we - the church - are now his dwelling place.

Adam Herndon | Matthew 2:1-21 | Today we take a look at the visit of the Wise Men and what it means for Jesus to be the "King for All."

Mark Booker | Exodus 22:21 - 23:9 | This sermon explores how God's law - which touches every dimension of life - reveals his character and how adherence to his law enables his people to make God known to the nations.

They must understand who they are and whose they are to live into God's calling on their lives, and so must we.

Adam Herndon | Exodus 15:22-16:8; 17:1-7 | As the Israelites come to the other side of the Red Sea, they have the wilderness in front of them. These three stories of the journey from the Sea to Sinai are preparing the Israelites to receive God's law at Sinai. God's provision and testing in the wilderness show them that they can trust in Him.

Mark Booker | Psalm 145:1-13a | A call to sacrificial giving and wholehearted commitment to God's global mission rooted in the God-saturated vision of Psalm 145. The movement from meditation, to outward praise, to sharing reveals the fuel or heart behind the missionary call and the mission-minded church.

Stuart Foster | Acts 4:1-12 | This opening message to the 2025 Global Mission Conference asserts that the basis of mission is the truth that Jesus is the only savior.

Mark Booker | Exodus 13:20-14:31 | At the sea, Israel faces impossible odds but witnesses God's power to save. This foundational deliverance, which points to our greater salvation in Christ, reminds us that salvation belongs entirely to God—he makes a way where there is none.

Mark Booker | Exodus 5:1-6:1 | How do we deal with hardship and trial in the Christian life? This sermon examines how Moses's confrontation with Pharaoh made things worse and what we can learn from Moses' honest, raw interaction with God.
