We Are All Witnesses - 4.12 Sermon
This week we start a new sermon series focusing on the book of Acts. We're starting with Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost. It was a seminal moment for the early Christian church. A large crowd had gathered. Everyone was curious about this group of Jesus' disciples. What does Peter say? Exactly what you'd expect. He preaches about Jesus, about sin and grace, about the stubbornness of humanity and the unstoppable plan of God.
Take Your Stand on the Gospel - Easter Sunday Sermon
The resurrection of Jesus sounds too good to be true. It sounds a little far-fetched. That's what the Corinthians were starting to think in 55 AD when Paul wrote this letter. But in 1 Corinthians 15, Paul begins his defense of the resurrection of Jesus. He shows us first that the resurrection is a reality. Then he shows us the incredible results it has for our lives as it reshapes our identity.
It is Finished! - Good Friday Sermon
It's not hard to see ourselves in this Good Friday narrative. We are just like the people two thousand years ago. Things haven't really changed. We are still focused on ourselves. Our own wants, our own needs, our own desires. Meanwhile, on the cross, Jesus is focused on the needs of others and the will of his Father in heaven. Through his perfect sacrifice, the work of our salvation is finished. Our debt is paid. Through Jesus, God looks at us, and he calls us good.
Exalt the Humble One - March 29 Sermon
What would you do with unlimited power, wealth, or influence? It's fun to imagine what that would be like, but for us, that's where it ends. In our imagination. For Jesus, it's reality. He has unlimited power and influence, and what Paul shows us in Philippians 2 is that he used that status not for his own advantage, but for ours.
God Raises Your Hopes - 3.22 Sermon
Have you ever gotten your hopes up just to have them come crashing down around you? That's what happened to the woman in this story. She finally got the son she had hoped for, but then he tragically died. What we see in this story is how God raises our hopes above the things of this life to the eternal hope and eternal life he won for us at the cross.
