Strategy Of The Redeemed
No one talks to you more than you do. In some sense the wisdom literature…especially the Psalms exemplify what emotionally healthy self talk and inward assessment would look like.

Response Of The Redeemed
As David cries out to God for vindication, the words that come out his soul can seem to many as self-righteous. But if we share in his pursuit of holiness, we will understand that his cries and convictions actually come out of his need for redemption and grace.

Waiting (Part 2)
God utilizes waiting to produce a very specific kind of man (woman). The man or woman who fears the Lord above all else is what God desires. It is what we should desire as well.

Waiting (Part 1)
So many of us lose heart because we don’t understand what it means to wait upon the Lord. In this Psalm we will focus on what “waiting on the Lord” looks like and what it is meant to produce. Take heart. If you have come to the end of yourself you might just be at the beginning!

Why We Lie
We all understand the concept of trying to ascend a sacred and holy Hill. We also know what it feels like to feel unworthy and incapable. Psalm 24 essentially explores the two possible ways of handling this reality.

The Good Shepherd
What brings a person to the place where they genuinely believe that goodness and mercy would follow them for all their days? There is no replacement for the time spent being shepherded by Jesus.

The Psalm Of The Cross
Psalm 22 is one of the most explicit descriptions of the crucifixion of Jesus. It is one that Charles Spurgeon would call “The Psalm of the Cross.” Not only did Jesus perfectly fulfill this prophetic text, he also gives us a glimpse into what he was feeling and thinking as he took on the sins of the world in the midst of being forsaken by the Father…ultimately for our good and His glory.

The Christian Perspective
On one level Psalm 21 is the response to God answering the prayer of Psalm 20. If the King is truly and ultimately Jesus then we have a genuine perspective on life given the redemption that He would eventually bring to the world.

Prayer
The soul care of prayer. When praying for others benefits you and results in the glory of God.

Considering The Covenants
If the Law of Moses only had a shadow of good things, then what has the true form? If sins weren’t removed by the blood of bulls and goats, what were they removed by? If God didn’t take pleasure in sacrifices and offerings, what does he take pleasure in?

Considering Waiting (In The Finished Work Of Christ)
Waiting is not as much of a call to action as it is a call to a particular posture of life. This week we will spend time considering the posture of one who is eagerly waiting for His triumphant return.

Considering The Blood
The blood, and all that surrounds it, forces us to think deeply about what was needed and what was accomplished at the cross. In this sermon we will consider the implications of the reality that forgiveness isn’t the purpose but only the necessary means to the Father’s plan.

Considering Redemption
The great irony of redemption is played out as those dead in their sins boast of being free and those who are redeemed by Christ boast of being slaves.

Considering The Holiness Of God
The writer begins to make the case for Christ by considering how the tabernacle and all it represented points to Christ. All of this coincides with the holiness of God helping us understand the insufficiency of the earthly priests and their ceremonies.

"...though he die, yet shall he live..."
We celebrate the resurrection for many great reasons. Because He lives we have salvation. In this passage Jesus shows us what it looks like to live out a resurrection theology right here and now. What does it mean for us today that we celebrate a risen Savior?

The New Covenant, Pt. 2
The new covenant brought on by the blood of Christ is superior to the old because it was enacted on better promises. How does it effect the way we think about Christianity and salvation when we think about it through the lens of God’s resolve to make a certain people “His people”?
Apr 14, 2019•39 min
The New Covenant, Pt. 1
In order to have a great appreciation of the New Covenant under which we reside we will look at the covenant that God made with Moses on Mt. Sinai. In the process we will see that God has always been in gracious, merciful pursuit of relationship with His people.

The Shadow Of Jesus, Pt. 4
There are things that are true and then there is the truth about things. Jesus gives us a category for the truth that genuinely sets free and a frame of reference for walking through this broken world of half truths and illusions of grandeur.

The Shadow Of Jesus, Pt. 3
What does it mean to draw near to God? There is a reason why the good news isn’t good to everyone. In fact, in and of ourselves we don’t know what to do with actual goodness. When confronted with Jesus we will respond fully aware of our wretchedness. The question is: How will we respond?

The Shadow Of Jesus, Pt. 2
Hebrews continues to help us understand how Jesus is the substance behind the shadow. He has a better priesthood, an eternal one, that descended not from the sin-stained Levitical Priesthood, but from a fatherless line in the order of Melchizedek.

The Shadow Of Jesus, Pt. 1
“The exalted Christ is like a person who stands before the sun and casts a shadow upon earth. Those who look at the shadow can discern in it the contours of the one who made it. Similarly, Hebrews considers Melchizedek to be an earthly shadow that the risen Christ casts back on the page of OT Scripture, and the author will speak about Melchizedek in order to bear witness to the Son of God whom he represents” - Koester

Wake Up, Pt. 4
The writer concludes this discourse with incredible gentleness, care, and concern. There is no greater way to follow such sobering warnings than with the beauty and majesty of our God who makes and keeps His promises. We will see what it takes to have “full assurance of hope until the end.”
Mar 03, 2019•40 min
Wake Up, Pt. 3
The writer to the Hebrews continues His wake up call by reminding them of the reality that there are those who try to fake Christianity while continuing to fall back into Judaism. We, too, must beware lest we fall prey to the counterfeit gospels of our time.

Wake Up, Pt. 2
The writer to the Hebrews continues His wake up call by reminding them of the reality that there are those who try to fake Christianity while continuing to fall back into Judaism. We, too, must beware lest we fall prey to the counterfeit gospels of our time.

Wake Up, Pt. 1
We all know that it is possible to hear something without really hearing it. We know that scripture teaches that it is significant that we would have “ears to hear” the message of Jesus. The writer of Hebrews gives us a sharp rebuke for our dull hearing as well as significant motivation to perk up and pay closer attention.

Review
Jesus is better. Like the very first reader of this letter, we live in a world that simply does not believe that to be true. Although the context may be different the writer knows that in order to dwell in a world like this we must know God and our place in His story. The writer of Hebrews leaves us with a Christianity that is constantly in pursuit of Christ and what it looks like to believe that He is better and that He is enough.

Work
As believers we come to the realization that God has created us for work. Work is not a result of sin. Unsatisfying work is a result. None the less, we as Christians, have the ability to see the glorious work beneath the labors that we walk in every day. Work is a blessing from God that affords us the opportunity to fill the earth with His glory.

Money
Money is one of the main tools that scripture uses to reveal the hearts of men. If the standard is to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength then one of the quickest ways for us to know the truth about this is to look at how we view and handle money. In this sermon we will see how grace puts all of this into its rightful place.

Marriage
If God desires for His glory to fill the earth then written into His vision for marriage and singleness is our joy and flourishing. To trust God for my marriage IS to trust God for my joy. There is joy and rest simply in resolving to believe this.

Family
We are taking a look at one of life’s most foundational aspects reminding ourselves that “Family” belongs to God. If this is true how are we freed to function within our families to His glory and our good?
