Sermons by Date and Title

The Betrayer

In this week’s message, we see the sibling rivalry between Joseph and his brothers erupt into a murderous plot that eventually settles into enslavement. Joseph’s journey into exile and imprisonment begins – and yet he never doubts God’s goodness. His life is such a challenge to us!

The Dreamer

We see the first real introduction of Jacob’s son, Joseph, in this message. Almost 25 percent of the book of Genesis pertains to Joseph – perhaps because his life so remarkably foreshadows the life and ministry of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Black Sheep

It’s time to look at the life and legacy of Jacob’s estranged brother, Esau. He is certainly much more than a footnote in the book of Genesis. His impact has long been felt among the Middle East and helped shape the future, both good and bad, of the nation of Israel.

Jacob’s Sorrows

Today, as we conclude our “Coming Home” sermon series in Genesis, the difficulties of life and the inevitable for all of us: death. But he also begins to reap in his own family and offspring what his past sexual sin has sown.

Jacob’s Revival

Today, as we continue our “Coming Home” sermon series in Genesis, we finally see Jacob fully obey God’s call for him to return to his ancestral home and to worship Jehovah God as his father, Isaac, and grandfather, Abraham, had.

Jacob’s Daughter

Today, as we continue our “Coming Home” sermon series in Genesis, we are confronted with perhaps the ugliest, most painful, most sinful episode in all of Jacob’s life (and, by the extension, his family). And the lessons for us in our current culture are obvious and equally painful.

Jacob’s Brother

Today, as we continue our “Coming Home” sermon series in Genesis, we see Jacob reluctantly restored to his older, angry brother, Esau, and we are reminded that God can and does change the hardest of hearts.

Jacob’s Fears

Today, as we continue our “Coming Home” sermon series in Genesis, we see the most crucial confrontation in Jacob’s life – his wrestling match with God as he prepares to face Esau and his father again. God is determined to change him from the inside out.

Jacob’s Pursuit

Today, we begin a new sermon series, “Coming Home,” as we follow Jacob back to the Promised Land. He has obviously added four wives and thirteen children to his camp as he heads back to Canaan, but getting free of Haran (and his past) is not as easy as he had hoped.

Jacob’s Prosperity

As we move further in Genesis 30, we realize that God is still blessing an unworthy Jacob, the inheritor of Abraham’s covenant, even as Jacob continues to struggle with Laban, his greedy, deceptive uncle.

Jacob’s Brides

In this week’s message from Genesis 29, we look at one of the most successful and most despicable deceptions in all of the Word of God, and the two young women caught in the middle of it.

The Forgotten Man

The Forgotten Man

In this message, we continue our sermon series, “In the Shadow of the Cross,” and we conclude Christ’s parable of the prodigal son with the “forgotten man,” the bitter, older son. There’s a chance “religious” folks have more in common with this forgotten man than the prodigal son.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son

The Parable of the Prodigal Son

In this message, we continue our sermon series, “In the Shadow of the Cross,” and we see Christ continue His emphasis on the grace of God by sharing perhaps the most preached on story in Luke’s Gospel: the parable of the prodigal son.

Rejoice with Me

Rejoice with Me

In this message, we continue our sermon series, “In the Shadow of the Cross,” and we consider two well-known parables that emphasize God’s grace and love for the lost – the parable of the lost sheep and the parable of the lost coin.
