Sermons by Date and Title

The Letter to Sardis

Today, as we move into week six of our sermon series, “The Seven Letters,” we look at the letter to the church of Sardis. This church was content and felt safe with the status quo – but Christ did not share their contentment.

The Letter to Thyatira

Today, as we move into week five of our sermon series, “The Seven Letters,” we look at the letter to the church of Thyatira. Like Pergamum, this church was facing quite a bit of adversity because of compromise, sin, and false teachers – but Christ shows them (and us) a way forward.

The Letter to Pergamum

Today, as we move into week four of our sermon series, “The Seven Letters,” we look at the letter to the church of Pergamum. This church was being slowly consumed by the wicked city and culture around it – making it particularly relevant to the church in America today.

The Letter to Smyrna

Today, as we move into week three of our sermon series, “The Seven Letters,” we look at the letter to the church of Smyrna. Through no fault of its own, this church is facing hard times – but God reassures them that their perseverance will be rewarded.

The Letter to Ephesus

Today, as we move into week two of our sermon series, “The Seven Letters,” we look at the letter to the church of Ephesus. God gives this church a simple, three-step process to recover its footing in dark days, a process that we would be wise to copy.

Looking Back

Today, we begin a new sermon series, “The Seven Letters,” from the book of Revelation. We begin today by exploring John’s vision of those things that he knew to be true concerning Christ and His church, things that are still foundational for the church today.

Joseph’s Funeral

Today, we conclude our study of the book of Genesis and this sermon series, “Israel’s Legacy,” with a final act of forgiveness from mighty Joseph and an act of faith on his part that has echoed in Scripture for several thousand years.

Jacob’s Funeral

Today, as we move into week six of our sermon series, “Israel’s Legacy,” we see one of the clearest pictures of God’s amazing grace in the word of God – Jacob the deceiver, the man who struggled spiritually for most of his journey, finishes amazingly well. And so can we . . . regardless of our backstory.

Jacob’s Blessing

Today, as we move into week five of our sermon series, “Israel’s Legacy,” we read about the legacy of faith – and judgment — that Jacob bestows upon each of his sons as he lays dying on his deathbed. He understands the story of the nation of Israel was only just beginning.

Joseph’s Blessing

Today, as we move into week four of our sermon series, “Israel’s Legacy,” Jacob knows that his life is almost at an end. But, as a great example to God’s children, he does not fear death, and there are few blessings he wants to bestow on his family before the end comes.

Joseph’s Provision

Today, as we move into week three of our sermon series, “Israel’s Legacy,” we see Joseph again take center stage in the account. As the famine deepens, Joseph stands as the savior of Egypt and again foreshadows the saving work of Jesus Christ.

Jacob’s Home

Today, as we move into week two of our sermon series, “Israel’s Legacy,” we see the final fulfillment of the idea of the Great Reversal – Jacob receives Joseph back, back as if from the dead. It’s a moment in which Jacob see clearly the goodness and grace of God. Do we notice such moments or take them for granted?

Jacob’s Journey

Today, we begin a new sermon series, “Israel’s Legacy,” and watch as Jacob begins his journey to reunite with Joseph in Egypt. As this journey begins, we see a beautiful display of the faith of Jacob’s forefathers, and a clear indication that he is going to finally – improbably – finish well.

The Dream Fulfilled

Today, as we conclude our sermon series, “Joseph’s Restoration,” we get to see the incredible fulfillment of Joseph’s teenage dreams, his restoration to his brothers, and his father’s reaction to the news that he is alive.

The Final Test

Today, as we move into week four of our sermon series, “Joseph’s Restoration,” we see a clear reminder that there can never be restoration between either us and God or us and others until we take personal responsibility for what we have done.

The Kingdom – Now and Not Yet

The Kingdom – Now and Not Yet

In this message, we see Jesus perform yet another miracle – and we’re challenged to examine whether or not we have thankful hearts. Ungratefulness is a dangerous path.
