Gifted :: The Basics 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 By Robert Krumrey We live in a world where those that are considered “gifted” are praised as special and valuable. Gifted musicians, gifted leaders, gifted artists, gifted athletes . . . In God’s economy, everyone is gifted. Not in a “everyone gets a trophy” sort of way, but in a significant world changing way.

Remember the Rescue :: Tabernacle Exodus 40 By Christian Hogan

Remember the Rescue :: Failure Exodus 32 By Robert Krumrey By the time we get through the 20’s chapters in Exodus, things seem to be humming right along. Moses is receiving more detailed instructions from God about daily life in the new nation of Israel and the people have reconfirmed their commitment to do “all that God had commanded”. That is, until a massive fail on the part of the people and t...

Remember the Rescue :: Covenant Exodus 19,20 By Robert Krumrey There have been many rescues up to this point in the unfolding story of Exodus. Rescue through the 10 plagues. Rescue at the Red Sea. Rescue from lack of water at Marah. Rescue from starvation through the giving of Manna and Quail. All of this is described by God as a boring up of Israel “on eagles wings”. All of this has now led us to...

Remember the Rescue :: Growth Exodus 15:22-16:36 By Noah Galloso "Without faith you cannot please God". Faith is what got us into a relationship with God and faith is the means by which we continue on that journey. God wisely ordains our circumstances such that we grow in faith, not in ourselves, but in the one who rescued us in the first place. God cultivates faith in the Christian in much the sa...

Remember the Rescue :: Dancing Exodus 14,15 By Robert Krumrey It’s an all out evacuation of the mixed multitude that is the people of the Exodus. They grab their kids, luggage, and animals and start on a long amazing journey that will be filled with hard yet good experiences designed by God to grow them in faith. First stop is a dead end (literally) situation with water on one side and Pharaoh's a...

Remember the Rescue :: Rescue Exodus 7-12 By Robert Krumrey There has been a build up in the book of Exodus (mostly origin story of Moses) that quickly escalates into a very dramatic narration of the ten plagues. These plagues, or “blows”, increase in severity incrementally until the Egyptian comfort, economy, health, and spiritual confidence is in shambles. The killer blow winds up taking out eve...

Remember the Rescue :: Word Exodus 6:1-13 By Robert Krumrey What does God do when his people, even his leaders, don’t have the faith to keep moving forward? He gives them more of his words. Find out in this sermon how the words of God spoken to the people of God keep producing the faith needed to keep moving forward even when things are difficult.

Remember the Rescue :: Suffer Exodus 5 By Robert Krumrey Moses finally gets to Egypt and everything is going well. God’s people are responsive to Moses’ leadership and already worshiping the one true God. That is, until Pharoah decides to double the workload as punishment for asking for a three day desert pass. The response to this uptick in suffering is anything but mature and the people immediat...

Remember the Rescue :: Equip Exodus 4 By Cristian Quiroga God calls (Exodus 3) and his calls are to impossible (think supernatural) tasks. This might seem a bit unfair since we are natural. Thankfully God also equips and does so with supernatural equipment. Moses feels the weight of an impossible call and God delivers the goods which sets the course for an unbelievable journey of faith. Find out m...

Remember the Rescue :: Call Exodus 3 By Cristian Quiroga God gets things done. He can do so directly or do so through human beings.

In this sermon we see how God calls his servant Moses and Moses’ various responses to that call. Find out how very famous...

Find out how God delivers Moses (and us) and sets us on a path to participation in his unfolding plan for accomplishing his rescue.

Remember the Rescue :: Desperate Exodus 1 By Robert Krumrey Every dramatic rescue is preceded by desperation. Being rescued implies that there is a threat that one needs rescuing from.

The Saints in ATX :: Stand Ephesians 6:10-20 By Robert Krumrey Paul exhorts Christians to be strong in the Lord partly because there is a dangerous enemy afoot. That enemy is NOT other people, but who is it and how do we fight him? Find out in this final sermon from the book of Ephesians.

The Saints in ATX :: Code Ephesians 5:22-6:9 By Robert Krumrey Transformed Christians living in transformed community don’t just hang out in church. They go out into the world and live ordinary lives in extraordinary ways. Find out in this sermon from Paul’s “household code” in the book of Ephesians how we are to live in the world as wives, husbands, children, parents, employees, and bosses.

The Saints in ATX :: Walk Ephesians 4:1-21 By Robert Krumrey There seems to be a massive rift between Christians that want to emphasize love and those who want to emphasize morality. The rift is so prevalent that we can begin to think they are mutually exclusive. This week's passage shows us how to wisely walk the tightrope of walking in love while also walking in holiness.

Saints of ATX :: New Self Ephesians 4:17-32 By Noah Galloso Through Jesus, we have been transformed into a new creation. Now we must learn how to live in this new self made whole by the truth of God.

The Story of Hope (Easter Sunday) Mark 15:37-16:8 By Robert Krumrey Everyone has two plotlines that are unfolding in their lives. Plotline 1 is whatever one tells themselves to get out of bed in the morning - a story of a positive future outcome (more money, a family, prestige, political utopia, a.k.a. “hope”. Plotline 2 is that we are all heading to our grave. Plotline 1 usually serves as a distr...

The Saints:: King (Palm Sunday) Ephesians 4:1-16 By Robert Krumrey It’s Palm Sunday and we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem - the beginning of what Christians call Holy Week. How could Jesus go from being hailed as the messianic King on Sunday to hanging on a Roman cross on Friday? Part of the reason is a misunderstanding of Jesus’ kingship. The crowd that day (and us) tend to...

How to judge (and not judge) others Matthew 7:1-6 By Rob Jenner Christians today are often criticized for being judgemental. While in some ways we are guilty as charged, in other ways we are called to lovingly call out sin and point people to our Savior. How do we strike this balanced approach? In this sermon from Matthew 7, Jesus equips us for how to judge (and not judge) our fellow brothers and...

The Saints :: Miracle Ephesians 3:1-13 By Robert Krumrey The church is more than songs and sermons and an occasional potluck. God is doing something in and through the church that is a miracle. What is this miracle you ask? He is taking disunified humans and using the “unsearchable riches of Christ” to make them one. Find out more about how this happens and what it means for us, a local church of...

The Saints :: Unified Ephesians 2:11-22 By Robert Krumrey God’s plan of making sinners into saints is not just individual but also communal.

Find out in this sermon from the book of Ephesians.
