In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Isaiah 9:6-7. King Ahaz has led the people of God into the darkness of idolatry and sin. Judgment will come -- but God promises to send a new king who will be the light to end the darkness.

In this sermon Pastor Clint considers the death of Jesus Christ in passages like Luke 2, John 19, and Philippians 2. That may seem like a strange thing to do during a season in which we focus on the birth of Christ, but the scriptures are clear: Jesus was born that he may die. He who was laid in a lowly manger was lifted up on a Roman cross that we may behold him by faith and have our sins forgive...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks thru Matthew 2:1-12. We see three responses to Jesus in this passage: hostility from Herod, indifference from the religious leaders, and worship from the Magi. How will we respond to the arrival of our Savior King Jesus?

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Chapters 13:17-14:31. As Israel journeys away from Egypt, Pharaoh and his army begin to pursue them.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin reflects on three things we see in the Passover meal and the deliverance of Israel from Egypt: We see a ritual of remembrance, the forming of a new community, and a substitutionary sacrifice.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks us through the first 9 plagues against Egypt. God begins to deliver Israel by showcasing his sovereignty over Egypt through the plagues. By repeatedly hardening Pharaoh’s heart, God creates an environment in which his gracious salvation of Israel may be fully acknowledged. Ultimately, these chapters depict a power contest between the Lord (represented by Moses an...

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Exodus 7:1-13. After sensing defeat after Pharaoh's refusal to acknowledge God and let His people go, God re-establishes his promise to deliver and to defeat the King of Egypt. The battle between God and the false gods of Pharaoh begins here as Aaron's staff devours the serpents in Pharaoh's court. Soon, the battle will come to full fruition when God brings pl...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Exodus 5 and 6. Moses and Aaron bring the word of the Lord to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh despises, defies, and discredits God's word. Pharaoh denied their request for a religious pilgrimage and increased the burdens and demands of slavery, crushing their spirit. In the midst of suffering, the people are unable to hear and believe in the promises of God. But God is f...

in this sermon, Pastor Kevin walks through Exodus 4. Moses and God continue to dialogue about the call of Moses to deliver God's people. Moses is doubtful: "No one will listen to me.

In this Sermon, Guest Preacher Dan Ko opens up Hebrews 2:1-4. The author of Hebrews calls the reader to pay attention to the greater salvation found in the person and work of Christ. This is the only anchor in a world that aims to pull God's people away from faithfulness to Jesus Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Exodus 3. God chose Moses as a deliverer for his people. Moses is hesitant, but God is faithful. In response to every question or objection, God patiently shows how his presence and power will be with him. The great I AM is the true deliverer of his people. Moses’ call was to trust in Him, believing that God’s power would be displayed in Moses’ weakness.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Exodus chapter 2. Moses is introduced to the story. He will serve as the God-appointed deliverer of the people. We also read of God’s protection of his appointed deliverer from Pharaoh’s wicked edict of death. Moses is rescued through the faith of his parents, who hide him and entrust him to God’s providential care. Such faith is exemplary for us today. To wal...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Exodus 1:1-22. Exodus chapter 1 establishes the difficult reality faced by the nation of Israel. At the end of Genesis, Abraham's descendants were finally safe. In this passage, they become prosperous and expand rapidly. This, however, resulted in fear and hatred from the native Egyptians, who enacted a program of slavery and infanticide against the Hebrews. B...

In this sermon, Pastor Clint begins our new sermon series through Exodus with an overview sermon of the book. Exodus tells the story of God's miraculous deliverance of his people from slavery in Egypt. The story of the Exodus is a prototype of how God rescues his people throughout history. This picture of redemption finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. As we study the book of Exodus, we are invi...

In this Sermon, Pastor Kevin opens up Psalm 84. The Psalmist (A Doorkeeper in the house of the Lord) delights to be with God's people in the house of the Lord. Why? Because God dwells there. As Christians, we are filled with the Spirit of God. And when we gather together in worship we encounter Him. Can we say with the Psalmist that this is something we long for?

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin opens up Psalm 67. This Missionary Psalm teaches us of God's purpose for his church. As recipients of his blessing of salvation in Jesus Christ, we are given the distinct privilege of displaying and declaring the good news of Jesus for the gladness of the nations and the glory of God.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin walks us through Psalm 42, where we see a pattern for how to respond to a "dark night of the soul." How can we guide our souls to hope in God, even when we feel that he is nowhere to be found?

In this sermon, our Guest Matt Baker opens up Psalm 2. In a world that rages against God, the Christian must rest in the truth that God has set King Jesus on the throne. This Psalm challenges us to consider - what Kingdom are we a part of? Who is our true King? Are we taking refuge in him?

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Psalm 51 - a prayer of repentance from King David. The Psalm reveals to us both the greatness of our sin and the grandeur of grace that God powers out on those with contrite hearts.
