This week we continue our sermon series in Matthew and discuss the high view of marriage in Christ's kingdom and how it reflects the hope and transformation of the gospel in our own lives.

This week in our series we look at Luke 2 and Psalm 98 as they help us understand the meaning of the song "Joy to the World", As we seek to answer the question "what brings us joy?" we see that Christ's birth is cause for all of us to celebrate with joy.

In the first week of our new series, "Songs of the Season", we reflect on the message that the angel of the Lord brings to Joseph, proclaiming, "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel."

This week we wrap up our sermon series in Esther and reflect on over-arching themes from the book, including God's omnipresence even when He isn't seen or speaking directly to us, God's faithfulness to keep His promises to His people, and that even when the world feels chaotic, we can rest assured that the King and His bride will reign.

This week in Esther we study why pride is such a common and destructive sin in our hearts, and we see that too often we seek praise for ourselves instead of giving the praise to God.

This week we study the wisdom Queen Esther displays as she seeks to persuade the king to spare her people.

This week we continue in Esther and see God's providence as Esther realizes she has been put in a unique position to save her people. We see also that we are called to stand up for others with the confidence that God has put us where we are for a specific reason.

At the conclusion of Paul's Letter to the Romans, he encourages the church to let the Gospel direct their hospitality toward one another, saying that we are to welcome one another, just as Christ has welcomed us, and do all of this to the glory of God. What does that mean for how we open up our lives to one another at Story Church? Take a listen and find out...

The story of Esther reveals with vivid detail the reality that we live in a fallen world. How should God’s people respond when faced with such brokenness, sin, and destruction? In Esther chapter 4, Mordecai responds to the declaration that Hamen will destroy all the Jewish people by tearing his clothes, putting on sackcloth and ashes, and crying out with a loud and bitter cry. This is the art of L...

In this section the main antagonist of the story of Esther appears, Hamen, who is identified as the enemy of the Jews and wants to destroy God’s people. What does it mean to be faithful in a world that hates God’s people? In this sermon we’ll consider the actions of Mordecai as examples of being faithful. That looks like sometimes pursing the good of the city around you, and other times looks like...

This week in Esther, we are introduced to one of key themes of the story - that even when it seems that God is absent in our lives, He is at work using His people, often in mysterious ways, to accomplish His will.

We continue this week in our study of Esther as we see the stark contrast between the world's corruption of sex and marriage vs. God's design which leads to an abundant and fulfilling life.

This week we continue our series in Esther. While the passage highlights the failures of Xerxes, we learn how the gospel gives us strength to deal with our failures, gives us an alternative narrative, and gives us a community of grace.

As we begin our series in Esther, we are introduced to King Ahasuerus (or Xerxes) who will drive the narrative and also stand as a contrast to the LORD God.

This week is Mission's Sunday at Story Church, and we look to Psalm 67 to see that it is God's saving power that brings blessing and joy to all the nations.

This week we celebrate Easter by looking at Paul's encouragement to the church of Thessalonians as we see how the resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us hope for life after death.

Jesus teaches us to expect opposition when we follow Him. This week we look at the instructions Christ gives us in how we ought to encounter gospel opposition from others and what that means practically for us today.

This week we continue in the gospel of Matthew with Jesus's command to his disciples to proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. We look at what the message is that we are to proclaim, how Jesus demonstrated God's kingdom through His ministry, and how we can share the good news with the world.

This week we look Jesus's command to his disciples to "pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest." We see that the harvest is still plentiful - that there are many people who have yet to receive the good news; we see that the first step for us to take is to pray for more laborers for the harvest - that the burden is not all on us; and we see the compassion of our Lord Jesus who longs...

This week we focus on Jesus's desire and power to forgive our sins. By first forgiving the sins of the man who was paralyzed, Jesus teaches us that the most fundamental problem that we have is that we've sinned against God, and our most essential need is for God to forgive us of our sins. Praise be to God that He has forgiven us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross!
