God in Us
Sermon Series

Jesus made a lot of promises to his disciples. He promised to be their way to the Father. He promised to prepare them a place. He promised he would do anything that they asked in his name.

But his chief promise, the Promise of all promises, was to send the Holy Spirit.

What is that? Who is he? What difference does he make? These are the questions we will be exploring in God in Us, a sermon series devoted to understanding, knowing, and being filled by the Spirit of God, the one through whom Jesus’ promises are experienced by us in all of their fullness.

The Prism
Sermon Series

We all know how when white light goes through a prism, a rainbow pops out the other side. But did you know that the reverse is also true? A rainbow entering a prism can produce white light? The prism is able to take these different beams and converge them into a single, unified beam.

As we read the Scriptures, Jesus is like that prism. The different strands of ideas, concepts, goals, and longings in the Old Testament are all brought together into a unified whole through Christ.

We’re often tempted to think of the Old Testament’s witness to Christ being isolated prophetic lines like, “born in Bethlehem.” While these certainly exist, Jesus and the apostles believed Jesus wasn’t merely on the periphery of the Old Testament plot, but at the very core. Jesus believed that ALL the Scriptures bore witness to him (John 5:39).

In every story, in every law, in every psalm, we are pushed to long for Jesus more deeply. As Christ’s church, we find our own identity is shifted as we find who we are in him.

In this sermon series we are giving just a taste of how the Hebrew Bible finds its completion and fulfillment in Jesus and what that means for us as God’s people.
