On Easter Sunday, we celebrate and remember that Jesus triumphed over the grave! He died and is now alive forevermore, holding the keys to Death and Hades (Rev. 1:18). Those who trust in Him need not fear death. Jesus got what He didn’t deserve, namely our sin, and we got what we didn’t deserve, His gift of righteousness.

Good Friday is the day we remember when Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. It's a picture of God's steadfast love extended to a broken and sinful people. Good Friday is an important day to remember and reflect on Jesus’ love poured out for us on the cross.

Sin isn’t static. It will always demand more. It’ll always come back with more ferocity and power. It’ll always be there and it’ll always increase. And its ultimate destination is death—a spiritual and moral death, and for those who don’t know the Lord, an eternal death. The most powerful thing we can do to combat sin is to stand on the territory that Jesus conquered. He broke sin’s power. You're either a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness. When we’re slaves of God, we have the freedom to be what God created us to be.

Justification by faith alone is a life-changing doctrine that changed Martin Luther’s life. This doctrine is the spark that started the Reformation. Luther moved from a life of despair to joy, knowing that we have a borrowed righteousness of Christ that is extended to all who believe. In this message, we look at the book of Romans and the four verses that sparked the Reformation.

At the heart of the Bible is the message of God's rescue of us. Christianity has good news about what God has done for us. The Gospel means “Good News.” If you were to take the Bible and distill its contents down to one thing, it would be all about God's rescue mission to us. This Easter series called “Rescued” is all about taking some time to really dig into and understand the heart of the Bible, God's rescue mission for us, and the good news of God's saving work for us.

In the 4th Commandment, we’re commanded to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. Learning to Sabbath is a very difficult concept for our modern ears because we attach so much value to time and productivity that the idea of resting means no productivity... and no productivity eats away at our perceived value. What Jesus is offering is not an escape from life, but a new way to go through life, a new way to bear responsibilities. Instead of offering you escape from the pressures, He offers you new equipment to use to bear the pressures.

In this message, we look at the 3rd Commandment, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain." God’s name expresses His character and His reputation. Anytime you misuse the name of the Lord, you malign, devalue, and dishonour the character and reputation of God. God wants us to treat His name with holy reverence. God’s name is to be set apart as a holy name. * This week's sermon is from Pastor Gary Hamrick at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, VA (cornerstonechapel.net http://cornerstonechapel.net).

In this message, we are looking at the second out of ten commands that God gave to Moses. God is very clear how we are not to worship Him through graven images or idols. The context of this command is extremely important to help us understand this command fully. These days in our culture, it rare to see graven images or idols, but Scripture is very clear that we all will struggle with idols of the heart. We are going to look at some questions to help us expose the idols that exist in our hearts.

The first commandment tells us that we’re to have no other gods but God. He is to be the exclusive object of our worship; the ultimate object of our love and desire. In this message, what we will see is that there isn’t a person here who is capable of dethroning all idols and giving his or her heart to God alone. It’s impossible. But what is impossible with us is possible with God.

In this message, we make sense of God’s Top 10. We lay some groundwork for how we’re to understand and approach the 10 Commandments, and look at some reasons for why we should obey them. In the following weeks, we’ll be unpacking each of the 10 commandments.

In Exodus 19 God begins to show His people what it looks like to be His people. In our passage we see that the law leads us to the cross – the law shows our need for a Saviour. The law examines us in light of the standard, that standard being Jesus.

This week we take a closer look at Moses’ father-in-law and his valuable wisdom to Moses in chapter 18. There are so many great principles of leadership to learn in this chapter. Together we’re going to look at three leadership principles and how they impact our lives everyday.

In this message, we look to Exodus 16 where we find the Israelites continue on their journey through the wilderness, where they face hunger and complain to God once again. God, in His grace, provides them with manna and quail for food. God tests the people to rely on Him everyday for their every need. This story points us forward to a greater bread—the Bread of Life.

What we see in Exodus 15 is the response the Israelites had to the deliverance that God gave them from the slavery of the Egyptians. They responded in this celebration of deliverance, with deep emotion, the first song recorded in the Bible. They certainly had much to celebrate! In this message, we examine some biblical truths about worship.
