As we start Matthew 17 we see Jesus lead his disciples up onto the mountain of Transfiguration. As he appears in glory with Moses and Elijah, we are made to ask: is this where his victory is achieved, or will it come somewhere else? In a similar way we too must ask, where is our victory achieved ..read more

What does the future life of those who belong to Jesus look like? How can we be sure that we will undergo resurrection? In this sermon, we examine 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul states that Jesus is the firstftruits of resurrection; therefore, we are guaranteed of our resurrection of the same kind as Jesus ..read more

In Matthew 16:5-12 Jesus warns his disciples, and us, about what we should be perceptive and on guard against! His warning may shock and alarm us though. He warns against the one thing that will keep us far from the Kingdom, even though we often think we are close. If we understand this warning, we realize that deep within each of us is a bent towards self-salvation, and only in the good news of grace are we continually liberated from that.  ..read more

In this new series, "Gospel Realization,” we want to examine how the Gospel functions in the everyday life of the Christian. We will see how all of our sin is fundamentally a failure to appropriate or believe the Gospel. This means that the Gospel has power to save us, keep saving us, and finally save us.

Join us as we unpack from the Scriptures what the Gospel is ..read more

The mission of the church is to understand how culturally, historically, and theologically we are to grapple with this Transgender Moment, and in this sermon we explore how to walk alongside our brothers and sisters with deep empathy and a commitment to show them Jesus.  ..read more

We live in a day where the story of Homosexuality is seen as an appeal to be authentic and true to ourselves. Our inner self and inner voice is where we "must learn who we are." But in God’s kindness, he has actually given us bodies that speak to us and are themselves a “reservoir of meaning.” This means the story and life of homosexuality is offering us a counterfeit to what Jesus offers us, and only in the Lordship of Jesus we do learn both who we are and how our bodies are made to find their fulfillment in him. The great task of the church today is not to bash and abolish the gay community ..read more
