In the final sermon of our Advent series, Pastor Clint considers the ascension and return of Christ, highlighting the reign of the risen King who intercedes for his people, sends the Spirit, and gives encouragement and assurance to weary and doubting hearts. Scripture points to the contrast between Christ’s first advent—humble and redemptive—and his second advent—glorious, physical, and judicial,...

In week three of our Advent series, with the Nicene Creed as our guide, using select scripture texts, Pastor Clint walks us through what it means that Christ came for us nd for our salvation. We rejoice that the eternal Son of God came down for us and for our salvation, entering our broken world in humility and love, and truly suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. On...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint considers the incarnation. As the Nicene Creed states, “he became incarnate for us and for our salvation,” emphasizing that the purpose of the Incarnation is God’s gracious rescue of sinners. Passages like 1 John 1, Luke 1, and Philippians 2 reveal to us the purpose, the mystery, and the humility of the Word made flesh.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin begins our Advent sermon series by considering the divinity of Jesus. As the Nicene Creed declares, Jesus is "True God From True God." John opens his Gospel by revealing that Jesus, the Word, did not begin in Bethlehem but existed eternally with God and as God. He is the divine Creator through whom all things were made, the One whose authority and power stretch from be...

In this sermon, Pastor Magdiel looks at Luke 9:51-62. As Jesus “sets his face” toward Jerusalem, Luke shows the deliberate and costly nature of his journey to fulfill the Father’s mission. The disciples reveal mixed and misguided desires—seeking retribution, status, or delay—exposing hearts not yet aligned with Jesus’ kingdom. Jesus clarifies the Christian’s calling as an uncompromising, whole-lif...

In Luke 9:37–50, the disciples are confronted with their inability to heal a demon-tormented boy, a humbling failure that exposes their need for deeper dependence on Jesus. Jesus responds not by discarding them but by instructing them—teaching again about His suffering, confronting their prideful arguments about greatness, and correcting their misguided zeal. Through each failure, He patiently for...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks through Luke 9:28-36. On the mountain, Jesus’ divine glory was unveiled before Peter, James, and John, revealing him as the radiant Son of God and the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. As the Father’s voice declared, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him,” the disciples were called to hear and heed Christ above all others. In beholding his glory, w...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Luke 9:18–27. Jesus first reveals His true identity as the Christ through Peter’s confession, affirming that He is God’s promised Messiah (vv.18–20). He then foretells His coming suffering, rejection, death, and resurrection, showing that His mission centers on the cross, not earthly triumph (vv.21–22). Finally, Jesus calls His followers to embrace the same pa...

In this sermon Pastor Kevin opens up Luke 9:10–17. We see that Jesus is more than enough for every need. The disciples are confronted with their own insufficiency as they face a hungry crowd, but Christ reveals his divine power by providing abundantly for all. In him, human need meets divine provision, and the satisfaction he gives points beyond full stomachs to the eternal fullness found only in...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks us through Luke 9:1–9. Jesus commissions the twelve with his own authority to heal and cast out demons, showing that their ministry flows from his power, not their own. He instructs them to travel light and depend entirely on God’s provision, teaching them trust and humility in service. As they go proclaiming his name and kingdom, even rulers like Herod take noti...

Pastor Kevin continues the journey through Luke. In Luke 8:22–56, Jesus reveals His authority over nature, demons, disease, and death—stilling the storm, freeing the oppressed, healing the afflicted, and raising the dead. Each scene displays His sovereign power and tender compassion toward those who trust Him. Because Jesus is Lord of all, we can walk by faith, not by fear, as we face the storms a...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Luke 8:1–21. Jesus teaches that true discipleship is marked not merely by hearing His words, but by receiving them deeply and responding faithfully. As He moves from town to town proclaiming the good news, Jesus highlights through the parable of the sower that the Word of God meets different kinds of hearts—some hardened, some shallow, some distracted, and som...

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin walks through Luke 7:36–50. Jesus contrasts the cold self-righteousness of Simon with the extravagant love of the forgiven woman to show that those who know they’ve been forgiven much will love much. In the words of John Newton, the gospel makes us "happy debtors" who live in gospel-motivated love, rest in the full forgiveness Christ gives weary sinners, and humble our...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks thru Luke 7:18–35. John the Baptist wrestles with doubt in prison, wondering if Jesus is truly the One, yet Jesus meets his weakness not with rebuke but with a gracious reminder of His works and His fulfillment of God’s promises. Christ shows that honest doubts can be brought to Him, because He responds with compassion and truth that strengthens faith. The call f...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint works thru Luke 7:11-17. In this passage, Jesus meets a widow grieving the death of her only son and, filled with compassion, tells her not to weep. With divine authority, He touches the bier and commands the young man to arise, restoring him to life. This act reveals that Jesus is not merely a prophet but the Lord of life Himself, the One who conquers death and brings...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint works through Luke 7:1–10. The centurion, longing for his servant to be healed by Jesus, displays a faith in Christ that is dependent, looking not to his own worthiness but relying wholly on Jesus’ authority to heal. He is also humble, recognizing his unworthiness to have Christ even enter his home. Most of all, his faith is anchored, resting with confidence in the pow...

In this final sermon in our Proverbs series, Pastor Kevin looks at what Proverbs says about the inner life. Proverbs teaches that the heart is the inner life—the wellspring of thoughts, desires, and choices that directs everything we do. Scripture helps us diagnose the heart as prone to sin, deceit, and divided affections, while also showing how it is shaped by external influences such as people,...

In this sermon in our Proverbs: The Way of Wisdom series, Pastor Clint considers Anger. Proverbs warns that unchecked anger leads only to strife, destruction, and foolishness, revealing how deeply broken our hearts are. Trying to control our tempers on our own is like trying to hold back a flood with our bare hands—it shows our need for something greater than self-discipline. Only the gospel of Ch...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at the topic of our speech. Proverbs teaches us that our words have great power—they can either wound or heal, destroy trust or build life-giving relationships. What flows from our lips ultimately reveals the condition of our hearts, for “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” In Christ, our hearts are renewed by grace, so that our words can become...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Reconciliation. In the Proverbs, God calls us to pursue reconciliation through truthful speech, respect, guarding confidences, and covering offenses in love rather than repeating them. Such wisdom resists our natural impulses toward bitterness, gossip, or revenge, instead urging humility, patience, and a commitment to restore trust. Our ability to do this flow...

In this sermon, Andrew Davies considers diligence. Proverbs teaches that diligence is wise and fruitful, warning that laziness leads to poverty and hardship (6:6–11; 10:4–5). The diligent plan ahead, work steadily, and walk a straight path, avoiding the thorns of procrastination and excuses (15:19). Christ, the perfectly diligent one, accomplished the work of our salvation with unwavering purpose—...

In this sermon, Pastor Sam looks at Money in Proverbs. Money is a powerful tool, but Proverbs teaches that righteousness and a heart that treasures God are far more valuable than riches (Proverbs 10:2-3; 15:16-17). True wealth is found in diligent, honest work and a generous spirit that reflects the character of Christ, who gave Himself freely for us (Proverbs 11:23-28). When we fear the Lord and...

In this sermon, Justin Fung looks at true wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord—a humble, reverent posture that acknowledges God's authority and seeks to live in light of His truth (Proverbs 1:7; 9:10). In contrast to the fool who trusts in himself and rushes into decisions, the wise listen to counsel, walk carefully, and grow through correction (Proverbs 12:15; 1...
