SERMON: Comparison
Romans 8 is one of the most well-known chapters in the Bible. This is for a good reason, as the Apostle Paul pulls together the scope of the gospel into a crescendo of God's sovereign grace. Through April and May we slow down and go deep into the heart of God's salvation and all it means!
SERMON: "Children"

Another Look - Romans 1
We read Romans 1:1 - 17 and reflect on the beginning of Paul's letter and how it begins to set up what reaches its climax in Romans 8.
SERMON: Going Ahead
He is risen! This morning, we celebrate the empty tomb and Jesus' resurrection! Jesus promises His disciples that He will go on ahead of them into Galilee. He will prepare the way and meet them there. The question of faith then, and now, remains: will we trust Him to meet us too?
SERMON: Humility and Pride-Peter's Denial
Jesus instructs us to devote more time and energy to aligning our hearts and lives with truth of his Word than to aligning our profiles and feeds with groups or causes. As we read through the last week of Jesus' life in the gospel of Mark, the life of Christ calls us to set aside the vices of 'our flesh' and the world, and instead, live with virtue.

We wonder just how many temple cleansings there were as Matthew, Mark and Luke have the event at the end while John has it at the beginning.
SERMON: Temperance & Gluttony

Another Look - Prophetic fulfillment
We look at Isaiah 56 and Jeremiah 7 & 8 in relationship to the original context in which the words of Jesus were used and how they find their fulfillment in Jesus.
SERMON: Darkness And Light
Sometimes our temptation is to believe that the time we are living in is 'as bad' as it has ever been. The book of Judges is quick to correct us. Sin has always threatened God's people. AND, God has always been at work to bring deliverance to His lost people. We read about judges and how God uses ordinary men and women to save His people in the midst of mistakes and tragedy and points to our need for the One Great Judge who saves.

SERMON: A SHEPHERD RULER
In our Advent Series, "King of Kings," we reflect on the political leadership and happenings of the day, just as the prophets grounded their proclamations of a coming kind in the historical happenings of their day. Our hope is that amidst worldly government turmoil and national political polarization, we will see, come and worship Jesus, the King of Kings.

SERMON: God's Chosen People
The word telos means end, aim, goal,' as in 'what's the point?' Knowing the point of something is often more difficult than it seems.

Another Look - He is the Head
We look at Colossians 2:10b, the phrase sandwiched between the talk of fullness and the example of baptism / circumcision. What does it mean? And why does Paul connect fullness with authority
