"Everyone Welcome!" It's a beautiful sentiment for a church to share, but, honestly, would any church say anything different? Would any actually say that only a certain kind of person is welcome, or that you aren't welcome? Sadly there was one - the temple in Jerusalem! But despite a long history of division, Jesus came to bring peace and unity, between people and - much more importantly - with…
Perhaps no greater contrast can be made than that of light and darkness. These universal concepts have been incorporated into religious imagery around the world, but what does the Bible have to say on light and darkness? How should Christians view themselves and their role in the unbelieving world? Listen to this week's sermon to hear how God transforms us from darkness into light.
Which is scarier - the prospect of being swallowed by a giant fish, or looking honestly in the mirror? If the answer seems obvious, it might be worth listening to Jonah's story again. It's a soul-bearing tale of sinners who begrudge God's grace, and a God who patiently deals with us. Listen to this week's sermon to find out whether your anger is justified or not.
When is a church not a church? When it's been converted into a restaurant or a skate park. When is the church not a church? When Christians worship in a gym or dining room. What even is the church? That's the question, and its answer is more than theological trivia, it is vital for you and your faith. Listen to this week's sermon to learn what the Holy Christian Church is and why it matters so…
What does Jesus have in common with Mickey Mouse, Princess Jasmine, and reality TV? He is a very prominent, very powerful, authority figure who disguised himself to blend in. To be fair, both the disguise and the reason behind it are very different for Jesus than the Prince and the Pauper. But that is exactly what makes his "state of humiliation and exaltation" so amazing. Listen to this week's…
Do you have a price tag? What would it take for someone to buy control of you? We like to think of ourselves as our own masters, but the Bible reveals the grim reality of the chains we were born into. The good news is those chains don't hold us anymore. Listen to this week's sermon to hear about the price Jesus was willing to pay—all to set you free and become your Lord and Redeemer.
God has made some pretty amazing promises in the Bible. Sometimes they can even feel too good to be true. But then he sent Jesus in flesh and blood to show us the reality of his love for you. Listen to this week's sermon to learn more about how the incarnation of Jesus expresses God's transcendent yet imminent grace personally to you.
If God created a perfect world, then why do we experience the hardships and heartaches that are so common to modern life? In a word, the answer is "sin" - both the first sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and our continued sin. What may be even more impressive than God the Father's creative powers, though, is his compassion. Listen to this week's sermon to hear how your Heavenly Father…
Who is God? How can you know? There are ways. There's lots you can know about him just by looking out the window. But the only way you'll really get to know him is to listen to what he has to say for himself. Listen to this week's sermon not only to begin to unravel the mystery of the Trinity, but to know who he is and what he's done for you.
Are you thirsty? Do you feel a gaping void in your life? Are there things that drive you to your knees in despair or cause you to clench your fists in frustration? There's nothing wrong with having a need. Where the trouble can arise is what we do to try to quench that thirst. On Pentecost Sunday, we consider Jesus' own promises of rivers of living water that will flow within us because of his…
