The Holy One
Sermon Series

“For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:3)

Who is this Holy One of Israel? This is a question that has been discussed and debated for millennia, answered with doctrines and formulas and confessions. While helpful – and even necessary – the truth is you can know doctrines and formulas and confessions and not actually know him!

Our focus for these weeks ahead will be to look into what the Holy One has revealed about himself with an eye toward knowing him personally. He wants to be known and he desires for us to become like him – holy as he is holy. This can never be achieved by sheer force of will, but only as a result of him forming his own life in us. He is calling you and me into an exclusive relationship, one that changes who we are and issues in changed behavior.

The way to him is grace. The walk with him is obedience. Let’s meet the Holy One.

Revival 2018 – Costly Grace
Sermon Series

In this unique time in history, when we have access to more information faster than ever before, knowledge and information are not necessarily making things better. While our world is in turmoil, Christianity has been marginalized and seems to have an ever decreasing impact on society. Why is this?

One reason is, in the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we have cheapened God’s grace. Cheap grace is the enjoyment of all the benefits of God’s grace without the price of repentance, forgiveness, or submission to God. Bonhoeffer’s response would be “costly grace,” which is the grace that Jesus Christ offered in the Gospels – grace that demands a response.

The Touchable Savior
Sermon Series

War. Disease. Destruction.

Heartache. Misery. Suffering.

Our world is broken. Anyone who has ever lived has suffered. Those who suffer inevitably ask the question: “Does God care?”

To answer this question, Jesus came. Forget the depictions of him as stoic or indifferent. He stepped fully into this world and he touched it, but he was also touched by it.

In “The Touchable Savior” we will follow Jesus throughout the second half of the Gospel of Mark on his journey to the cross. We’ll discover just how far he was willing to go – just how much he was willing to be touched – in order to bring healing and salvation to our broken world.

The Untouchables
Sermon Series

A leper. A cripple. A sinner. A man possessed by devils. A bleeding woman. A dead girl. All persons whose paths crossed Jesus. All broken. All dirty. By the standards of ordinary people, all untouchable.

But Jesus is no ordinary person.

The Son of God came into the world to touch it. To transform it. To make all things new. He wasn’t disgusted by our “stuff.” He didn’t avoid it, instead he touched it and made it clean.

This collection of sermons from the gospel of Mark are about those who needed a touch the most – those who were avoided, were reviled, who were written off by the world. But Jesus reached out to them and changed their lives forever, something he’s still in the business of doing today.

“Jesus reached out and touched him.” (Mark 1:41)

Expecting Christmas
Sermon Series

There’s something special about the season of Advent. It’s a season of preparation, a season of waiting. It’s the time of the year where we begin to prepare ourselves to celebrate the coming of the Lord. It’s a season that is pregnant with promise. Promise for hope. Promise for peace. For love and for joy. For God to make things new once more. And so we wait.

The Bible encourages us to “wait upon the Lord.” This is a special kind of waiting. It means “waiting with hope,” not “wait and see what happens.” It is not just the passing of time. It is anticipation. We have God’s promises to anticipate. He cares for us. His plans are good, not evil, toward us. We can trust Him. He keeps His promises.

Christmas declares “God always keeps his promises.” In His way, in His time. He asks us to wait…with hope. He promises to return. He promises to come into our heart. He promises us pleasant surprises.

“You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!” (Luke 1:31-33)
