Ecclesiastes 4:4-16 The Blessing Of Contentment & Companionship Jason Velotta Download

Sunday, we will continue in 1 John as we focus our hearts in gratitude for the gospel. Over the past few sections, John has laid out some hard and convicting truths —truths about walking in the light, keeping God’s commands, and loving the brothers and sisters in Christ. These tests can feel heavy, but John’s purpose has never been to create fear or uncertainty in his readers. Instead, he writes s...

Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:3 The Vanity of Injustice Jason Velotta Download

1 John is a letter written so that believers might know with certainty they have eternal life (1 John 5:13). John offers clear evidence for us to examine our lives and confirm our salvation, while also revealing the false teaching of those who had left the church claiming to be the true Christians. Faced with these false teachers, John repeatedly applies three basic tests—doctrine, obedience, and...

1 John 2:3-6 The Assurance Of Obedience Jason Velotta Download

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 Everything Beautiful In Its Time Jason Velotta Download

Matthew 25:14-30 Serving Through Trials Jonathan Hula Download

As we continue our study through the book of 1 John, Sunday’s passage begins to unveil John’s evidences written to give believers God-ordained grounds for assurance of eternal life. After false teachers left the church and caused some to doubt the sufficiency of the gospel, John writes to show his readers the evidence of genuine salvation. Throughout the book, John will circle around three categor...

This Sunday, we are blessed to observe both the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper at the beginning of the 11:00 A.M. service. We are also beginning our study of the book of 1 John. This short book was written to give believers the God-ordained grounds of assurance. John’s first readers were being confused by false teachers who had separated from the church (1 John 2:19) and claimed to ha...

Ecclesiastes 2:12-26 When Wisdom & Work Are Vanity Jason Velotta Download

This Sunday’s message will be very different than what we are used to. Our steady diet of preaching has been (and will continue to be) exposition through books of Scripture, verse by verse. However, along our journey through Mark’s gospel, we occasionally noticed missing verse numbers (7:16; 9:44), and when we finished Mark 16:1-8, the next thing we saw was brackets around Mark 16:9-20 and a study...

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 Chasing Pleasure Jason Velotta Download

2 Timothy 3:10-17 Hold Fast Cameron Tucker Download

Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 Chasing Wisdom Jason Velotta Download

This Sunday, we providentially come to Mark 16:1-8 on Mother’s Day. This passage highlights the women devoted to Jesus who witnessed His death and burial and now discover the empty tomb—the greatest event in human history. After watching their Lord crucified and buried, these devoted women go to the tomb, undoubtedly in grief and hopelessness. Yet, their love for Jesus spurs them to honor Him in H...

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 All Is Vanity Jason Velotta Download

For the past several weeks we have stood at the foot of the cross, witnessing the unimaginable suffering, shame, and wrath our Savior endured for our sins. We have heard His cry, seen the veil torn, and watched even a hardened Roman centurion declare, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” And we know what comes next, the glorious resurrection! But before we see the women finding the empty tomb and...

2 Samuel 24 - Who Can Turn Away God’s Wrath Jason Velotta Download

This Sunday, we will finish the sermon we began last week. Mark 15:21-41 is the climax of the book and what all of redemptive history has pointed toward. Jesus, the Son of Man, will give His life as a ransom for many, as He said earlier in Mark. Last week, we went into great detail describing the suffering and shame of the cross as Jesus. We discussed the vicious scourging that left Jesus too weak...

This Sunday and next, we will stand at the very center of history and of God’s redemptive story: the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Everything in creation, from the garden of Eden through the flood, the Tabernacle, the sacrifices, the priesthood, and the anointed kings of Israel, has anticipated this moment. In the fullness of time, God sent His S...

2 Samuel 23:8-39 God’s Mighty Men Jason Velotta Download

This Sunday we return to our study of the Gospel of Mark, picking up in chapter 15. Chapter 15 begins after the events of the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest, and the nighttime trial before the religious leaders, who pronounce Jesus guilty of blasphemy and worthy of death. Having just celebrated Easter, we now turn our eyes to the dark yet glorious events of Good Friday, when...

Happy Resurrection Sunday! Remember, services will be at 9am & 11am, with no Sunday School. I look forward to rejoicing and praising God with you this Sunday as we celebrate the risen Savior. The resurrection is a vital part of the gospel message and how believers walk in the gospel. 1 Corinthians 15:14 says if Christ has not been raised from the dead, you are still in your sins. To see how the de...

2 Samuel 23:1-7 The Sure Hope Of The Coming Kingdom Jason Velotta Download

While preparing the texts for the upcoming sections in Mark, I realized this week that we will be discussing the suffering and humiliation of Jesus on Easter Sunday. Since Resurrection Sunday is the day set aside for rejoicing in the risen Savior and celebrating the completion of our eternal salvation, we will pause our study in Mark until after Easter. Last week, Glenn did a wonderful job encoura...
