Mission Brief
Sermon Series

From the dawn of creation until now, God has been on a mission, that this world and all its inhabitants would reflect and proclaim his glory. Central to His works throughout history and our own salvation, God is working to proclaim His glory in a world hostile to His rule and reign.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate the world’s systems and the lives of those around you to bring about His glory. You’ve been called to be an agent, wisely working with God as we await the final fulfillment of His plan.

And so we cling to the promise that, “For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the LORD” (Hab. 2:14).

Voices
Sermon Series

The Christian life is one of walking with God. It involves faithfully following Jesus on whatever road he leads. The journey, however, is not without its perils. In his famous hymn, “Amazing Grace,” Newton refers to the “many dangers, toils, and snares” one can anticipate following Jesus. With each step along the path, a cacophony of voices can be heard vying for our attention, calling for us to tune out the voice of Jesus and turn another way. But the life of discipleship is always one focused on the voice of the Lord and following wherever he leads.

Voices is a Lenten sermon series challenging the follower of Jesus to remain fixed upon him. He has demonstrated what it means to be faithful in both life and death, and he promises everything we need to follow in his footsteps.

Yes, through many dangers, toils and snares we have already come. But, “’tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.”

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.

Long Expected
Sermon Series

Hope can be a powerful thing. It produces passion for the impossible. It realizes what has yet to be actualized. It binds to the future those who are captive to the present.

But hope can be a dangerous thing. Placed in the wrong object, it can lead to the deepest of disappointment and regret—exacerbating the sting of unfulfilled desires, relegating the longings of the heart to the category of fancy.

In Advent, we remember what it means to hope rightly and find stability in the drama of long expectation. But we do so from the nearside of history’s perspective, looking ahead while looking back—back to the One who fulfills; back to the One who satisfies; back to the One who completes.

He came in just the right way, at just the right time. For those who expect, he exceeds all expectation. Hope of the earth. Desire of nations. Joy of the heart.

Come, thou long-expected!
