This Sunday, we start a new sermon series: The Gospel and the Christian life. We will spend the next several weeks considering Colossians 3:1-17. This week we begin with the first verse: "If then you have been raised with Christ…" See you on Sunday. Pastor Josh
Each week, in our liturgy, we repeat the words of the Apostle Paul, “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.” This Sunday we’ll consider the final section of the final book in the Bible, Revelation 21 & 22, which tells us about what will be when Christ comes again, more specifically how God will renew the world so that heaven and earth are one. These truths sustained the early church through temptations, tribulations, false teaching. We too need to understand what John says “must soon take place” since what we believe about the future changes the way we live today. See you on Sunday, Pastor Josh
In his book, Hidden Christmas, the late Timothy Keller writes, “Christmas is not simply about a birth but about a coming.” This Sunday morning we’ll consider the advent or coming of Christ as explained by John in the first chapter of his gospel, “The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.” Sunday evening, Christmas Eve, we’ll enjoy a traditional lessons & carols service at 5pm. Invite a friend, gather with family, and we’ll see you on the Lord’s Day! Pastor Josh
Amid such progress in the world with gains in technology, health care, and democracy, we are living in a world that has experienced a loss of hope. People are more anxious, depressed, and lonely than ever. Wars, racism, and greed can make anyone feel hopeless about the future. Advent is a season that helps us inject hope into our lives. This past week, in our Bible in a Year reading plan we read the first three letters of the Catholic Epistles: James and 1-2 Peter. 1 Peter 1 is one of the most famous chapters concerning the theme of hope. Thus, it is a perfect chapter to meditate on this Advent season. To prepare for Sunday, re-read 1 Peter 1:3-9 and reflect on the good news that you have been born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday! Pastor Adam
Theologian D.A. Carson says, “The general theme of Hebrews is not in dispute: the unqualified supremacy of God’s Son, Jesus Christ.” This Sunday we’ll consider the first chapter of Hebrews, which is itself a sermon about Christ. See you on the Lord’s Day! Pastor Josh
This Sunday we’ll consider The Parable of the Sower. It’s a story about a number of things all at once—the Kingdom of God, Jesus’ preaching ministry, and the way God works in us to enable us to receive Jesus’ message with faith. See you on the Lord’s Day! Pastor Josh
Paul’s letter to Philemon is his briefest correspondence included in the New Testament, and often goes overlooked. However, it includes an amazing story and beautiful gospel truths. Join us this Lord’s Day and together we’ll consider Paul’s letter to Philemon. Pastor Josh
This Sunday I'll be preaching out of an often-overlooked passage at the heart of Paul's letter to the Ephesians (3:1-13). In it we will discover how anchoring ourselves in the 'manifold wisdom of God' is the key to overcoming and enduring the disappointments and suffering we endure in this life. See you on Sunday! Pastor Derek
The cross is foolish to our secular age. To achieve status, the idea of sacrifice is counter-cultural. The Apostle Paul told this to the young and dysfunctional church of Corinth, and his words are still fresh and applicable to us today. I look forward to opening our Bibles to 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5 with you all this upcoming Lord’s Day, and being challenged and encouraged by the foolishness of the cross. See you on Sunday! Pastor Adam
This Sunday we will consider the first seventeen verses of the eighth chapter of Apostle Paul’s magnum opus, his letter to the Church in Rome. Here, the Apostle expounds on the glories of the gospel as experienced in the Christian life. It is a life in which we are free from the penalty and power of sin and are now able to live Spiritual lives as the sons and daughters of God. See you on the Lord’s Day! Pastor Josh
This Sunday we come to the book of Acts which records the first three decades of the early church after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Everything starts with Pentecost, when the Spirit of God descends and the church begins as the newly constituted people of God endowed with power and a mission, to be witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus to the ends of the earth. Join us this Sunday and together we’ll consider these great events and the way they continue to impact us today as Christ followers. Pastor Josh
This Sunday we welcome Pastor Kevin Daane, who leads the PCA's ministry: Engaging Disability with the Gospel. Together we'll consider Luke 7:18-23, where John the Baptist asks Jesus the pivotal question, "Are you the one who is to come?" See you on the Lord’s Day! Pastor Josh
In Matthew 17 the veil that separates heaven and earth is pulled back, and we see Jesus in truth. This Sunday we will join with the disciples by standing in awe of his glory, and struggling with what we hear about his suffering on the cross. See you on Sunday. Pastor Josh
This week we begin the New Testament with a survey of Matthew’s introduction of Jesus, from birth to baptism. We’ll consider the events that Matthew records as well as the way explains these events, all of which leads to a most important conclusion about Jesus. If you’ve come this far in the story of Scripture, hearing from Matthew will be a joy! See you on Sunday. Pastor Josh
This week we conclude our reading of the Old Testament with Psalm 48. It's a song by the sons of Korah who sung about Zion. This Sunday, we'll look back to Israel's ancient vision of the city of God. We'll also consider the way this Psalm continues to speak to pilgrims who are on their way to their home in the heavenly city. I look forward to worshiping with you! Pastor Josh
Farewell speeches can be memorable, weighty, and meaningful, especially when spoken toward the end of a person’s life. King David has such a farewell speech. In 1 Chronicles 29 he is near death, has just given a ton of money for the building of the temple, and his son Solomon is about to take over as king. Join us on Sunday as we listen and study King David’s farewell speech. I look forward to worshiping with you! Pastor Adam
This Sunday we take up the final Old Testament Prophet, Malachi. Malachi surveyed the plight of Israel in his day and spoke directly the sins of the clergy as well as the congregation. He also described a day in which the Lord would visit his people, a day in which God would act for their salvation. The gospel authors quote these very words as the introduce Jesus. Join us this Sunday and together we’ll consider the prophet Malachi. Pastor Josh
In his hymn, Sometimes a Light Surprises, William Cowper, reflects on the message of the prophet Habakkuk: Though vine nor fig tree neither Their wonted fruit shall bear, Though all the field should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there: Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For, while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice. Join us this Sunday and together we will continue our reflection of the prophet Habakkuk. Pastor Josh
