It’s Easter Sunday, and the women have just discovered the empty tomb of Jesus. But they haven’t yet seen the resurrected Jesus. (See Matthew 28:1-7.) What just happened here? Listen in to Pastor David’s “early service” message:
The Return of the King
In Matthew 21:1-11, Jesus enters Jerusalem with a huge crowd celebrating him as king. But another crowd trembles with fear: this means trouble! Which crowd are you in? Listen in to Pastor David’s message on this Palm Sunday passage:
Journey to the Cross
After a presentation from the Gideons, Pastor David gave a few reflections on the day’s challenging gospel lesson, Luke 13:22-35. Listen in and discover how we can journey with Jesus as we remember his path to the cross, which we will begin remembering in earnest next Sunday.
Forgiveness: Our Responsibility
This week, we conclude our brief look at forgiveness, the theme of our sermon series during the season of Lent. In Ephesians 5:8-14, we find a clear call for people who have been forgiven: that we should live as children of light, having nothing to do with the deeds of darkness. What does this look like, and what does it all mean? Listen in to Pastor David’s message on this passage:
Forgiveness: God’s Reconciliation
Romans 5:1-11 contains some of the most meaningful language in scripture: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This passage is crucial for our understanding of how God reconciles us to himself through Jesus Christ. What does this have to do with our journey toward the cross during Lent? And how can it be transformative for our spiritual lives down the road? Listen in to Pastor David’s message:
Forgiveness: God’s Response to Sin
As we begin the season of Lent, Pastor David preaches the first of three sermons on forgiveness. Take a look at Romans 5:12-19 and consider how great the Lord’s love is for us, how marvelous his forgiveness is! Listen in to this week’s sermon:
Assigned to a Task
Paul planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God gave the growth. So what is the implication for us as believers today from this passage (1 Corinthians 3:1-9)? What is our task as “plants” in God’s field? Listen in to Pastor David’s sermon on this passage.
Knowing the Divine Mystery
This Sunday, Pastor David preached from 1 Corinthians 2, a chapter which emphasizes God’s secret wisdom and the role his Spirit plays in revealing that wisdom to the people of God. What kinds of mysteries do we encounter in our faith, and how can they change our lives? Listen in to this week’s sermon, and join the conversation!
Saved By God’s Power
After two weeks away from the pulpit, Pastor David returns to continue our study of 1 Corinthians. In the final section of this letter’s first chapter, Paul gives the fundamental reason for our unity and humility in the church, a reason that is summarized by the two words that we preach: Christ crucified.
Commissioning Our Guatemala Team
On Sunday, February 2, Pastor Jerry preached on Philippians 2 and spoke about our church’s upcoming mission trip to Guatemala, the recent death of his father, and our call to Christian living in our everyday lives. Listen in to this powerful message! And remember to pray for our Guatemala Team, which leaves this Thursday (February 6) and returns next Thursday (February 13)!
