Psalm 22, “Through One Suffering, Come Many Righteous”
Participation in the Gospel (Philippians 1:1-11)
Today we start a new series through Philippians. Preaching through Philippians over the summer seemed timely considering the present circumstances and the perceived growing tension and weariness in the general populace, though perhaps it’s merely the projection of my own tension and weariness.…
Generosity as the Means of Mission (2 Corinthians 9:6-15)
Money carries a weight of importance for life and living that demands our attention. Jesus himself indicates that our generosity with money reveals the extent to which our lives are in alignment with God and His Kingdom. Luke 12:31-34 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to…
Finding Rest in the Garden (Genesis 2:4-25)
God created mankind to dwell with Him in a unique place, set apart just for man, living in constant communion with God, being contented in His rest, and pursuing fruitfulness under God’s dominion.
The People of God as God’s Dwelling Place of Honor and Glory (1 Peter 2:4-12)
Those who entrust themselves to Jesus and believe the good news are being formed into the very dwelling place of God Most High. This house of God is a place of glory and honor, set apart to serve the Lord and offer the acceptable sacrifices of love, mercy, prayer, and rejoicing. The people of God…

The God Who Saves (Isaiah 43:1-7)
God is the Holy One of Israel who saves his people out of his own love for them. He saves them because they are precious and loved by the One who created them. Those who see these things are witnesses of these things. Isaiah 43:1-7 But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called…
A Faithless and Twisted Generation (Luke 9:37-50)
The cross was not central in the lives of the disciples. When the cross is not central, the things of God become twisted. The disciples had no ability to drive out the demon because they were not living by faith in Jesus, but rather, in self-reliance. If you live in self-reliance, arrogance will be…
By His Wounds We Are Healed (Luke 6:17-19)
The crowds gather and he heals all their diseases and infirmities. But Jesus doesn’t just heal physical ailments. Through the cross Jesus comes to bring the full soul-healing from sin and death for those who trust in Him.
