Sunday, March 13, 2022. Exodus 3:1-22 | "I Will Be With You" The short biography of Moses' early years in Exodus chapter 2 conveyed a significant experience when Moses was rejected. So substantial was it that it is preserved in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. But God takes Moses' rejection in Exodus chapter 3 and sends Moses back into a similar predicament, but this time with God's c...

Sunday, March 06, 2022. Exodus 2:1-25 | "She Hid Him" Moses' parents had faith and acted on it. Moses had faith and acted on it. God is faithful, and God is acting!

Th...

Sunday, February 13, 2022. James 4:4-10 | "Submit Yourselves" The spiritual conflict brought about by our sin is entirely avoidable. By the grace of God, we can resist the devil, and he will flee!

This message p...

Sunday, January 23, 2022. Genesis 3:1-8 | "Did God Actually Say...?" If we are not experiencing spiritual conflict, then we are not engaged in the work of the Word!

Sunday, January 9, 2022. John 17:20-23 | "For Those Who Will Believe" In this text, Jesus prays for disciples beyond the eleven gathered around Him - His disciples of the future.

Sunday, January 2, 2022. John 17:17-19 | "Sanctify Them" (A New Year's Sermon) At the beginning of each new year, we evaluate a "vision" through personal goals or corporate strategy.

Sunday, December 12, 2021. John 17:4-5 | "Glorify Me" In the first prayer of Christ, Jesus prays to the Father relationally as "Son." In this second prayer, Jesus prays personally as "me."

It's not enough that Jesus is MY Lord, or Jesus is YOUR Lord. 1 Corinthians compels the Church to ask a different question: Church - Is Jesus OUR Lord?  In the closing text of this letter, the apostle presents a series of final instructions meant to keep the Church from failing and propel the Church forward in power. What we do with these commands will ultimately reveal who our leader is and...

Sunday, October 31, 2021. 1 Corinthians 15:12-34 | "Christ Has Been Raised."  If Christ has not been raised from the dead, our preaching, faith, and future are useless and wasted. As this text says, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." Death would be a final, miserable end to such a short, meaningless existence. But the gospel of grace preached to us says differently. Christ has been...

Sunday, October 24, 2021. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 | "The Grace of God."  The apostle writes to remind the church in Corinth about the gospel he preached and that they believed - or so he thought?

Sunday, October 03, 2021. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 | "The Greatest of These"  We, humans, tend to filter God through only one adjective, like "love." God is love, but He is much more than that. In the same way, if we view God's grace of love from only one angle, we risk distorting what love truly is. Love, as defined by God, is multifaceted. In this famous chapter, the apostle explains to the ch...

Sunday, September 26, 2021. 1 Corinthians 12:13-31 | "You Are The Body."  We are what God says we are. It's that simple! The same Creator who said in the beginning, "let there be," and "there was," speaks a similar word to His Church today. God says, "You are the body of Christ and individually members of it!" What God creates, God sustains in Christ through the Holy Spirit. This reality has...

Sunday, September 19, 2021. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 | "Concerning Spiritual Gifts." 1 Corinthians is not written to a people in the flesh but to the Church in the Spirit.
