The College Church

David Blankenhorn says that, "we live in the age of arrogance—an unforgiving, intolerant, anger-stoked age of entrenched confirmation bias across groups and of constantly alleged binary political choices in which your position is entirely wrong and mine is entirely right."  The solution is intellectual humility.  In this sermon, Pastor Bill shows how intellectual humility is a natural fr...

How can Christians be salt and light in a society that is unraveling?  How can we remain engaged in seek our neighbor's flourishing when so much seems to be going wrong around us?  In this sermon on a famous passage from the book of Esther, Pastor Bill focuses our attention on courage - one of five public virtues that we'll explore in the coming weeks.  What is courage?  When d...

God repeatedly tells his people to remember what He has done, and to tell the stories of His great deeds and faithfulness to the next generation.  God also tells His people to expect God to do new and greater things in the future!  On the occasion of College Church's 50th anniversary, Pastor Bill helps us to look back with gratitude and look forward with hope.

The first Christian sermon (preached by the Apostle Peter on Pentecost) was all about the resurrection, what it means, and why it deserves a personal response.  In this sermon, Pastor Bill unpacks the significance of the resurrection and how it can impact our lives.

In life, as with homes, storms expose the quality of our foundations.  In this final installment on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Bill explores what goes into a resilient life, and why we must decide what to do with Jesus.

What way should we go?  Who should we follow?  Do we have saving faith?  Toward the end of His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents us with a series of choices, and teaches us how to discern.

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged."  Our culture stands up and cheers Jesus' words--and yet, they present a profound challenge.  In this sermon, Pastor Bill explores how Jesus transforms the way we relate to others by confronting and dealing with our pride.

Jesus talked about our relationship to our wealth and possessions more than anything else.  In this famous passage, Jesus confronts greed, materialism and worry, and invites us to invest in things that will last forever, to live generously and to rest in God's Fatherly care.

“All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."  Much of modern life has become performative.  Like the Pharisees of Jesus' day, the temptation to seek the approval of others can turn beautiful acts of righteousness and devotion into sordid and cheap attempts at self-glorification.  Jesus offers us a discipline to set us free from o...

Jesus told His followers to "be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect."  What does this mean?  The answer has to do with how we relate to those who seek to harm us, or seek our help.

Jasmine Myers unpacks Matthew 5:21-37, in the third of our A New Way to Be Human series. 

In this sermon, Pastor Bill shows how Jesus transforms His followers into people who are both attracted to, and attractive to, people who believe and live differently.
