Psalm 127
In this Psalm, Forrest Brown hightlights the way we were created to allow the Lord to work in an through us in all that we do. If we simply become laborers for the Lord but neglect heart-connection with him, we work in vain. But when we plug into the life that he gives and serve him in view of his grace for us, we experience abundant life.

Psalm 36
Is your God too small? Most of the spiritual problems that we have today—like apathy, lack of emotion, doubt and insecurity—are the result of us minimizing God. Even as Christians, our hearts calcify over time, just as plaque builds up on teeth, and the dentist has to scrape it off. Similarly, we as believers need regular encounters with the living God to remind us of just how spectacularly massive he is. In Psalm 36, the author, David spends considerable time describing polar opposites in order...

Psalm 29
In this Psalm, David describes the Lord in his might and power, using imagery of a mighty storm. And this kind of power makes God worthy of all praise. The beauty of it is that his power also makes him powerful enough to abide in when our lives face their own storms and troubles since he sits above it all on his throne. Listen as Tim Carpenter preaches.

Psalm 110
Tim Carpenter preaches on Psalm 110, which focuses on the messiah as both the coming king and priest forever. How can one person fulfill both aspects of these prophecies unless is it Jesus Christ?

Luke 20:41-44
Forrest Brown preaches on this passage as Jesus now asks the religious leaders a challenging theological question. But unlike the religious leaders, Jesus doesn't ask out of insecurity, his desire is to prove that he is the Messiah, and he is worthy to prase and to trust with their lives.

Luke 20:27-39
In this text, the Sadducees take a theological swing at Jesus, only to come up short (just like the chief priests and and teachers of the law before them). The difference was that the Sadducees held a liberal view of the Old Testament text, which skewed their view of reality. Jesus corrects their thinking by using an Old Testament Scripture that they did respect. Amazingly, Jesus' argument was based upon the verb tense of Exodus 3:6, which means that not only is the story of Scripture true, but ...

Luke 20:19-26
When religious leaders bait Jesus into a trap, pitting him between the Romans and the Old Testament law, Jesus threads the needle perfectly. He effortlessly responds to them in perfect wisdom while also challenging them to reconsider their own relationship with government and political power. This timeless teaching also weighs on us today in significant ways.

Don't Waste Your Life 2023
Paul is at the end of his life and writing a letter to his disciple, Timothy. In it, Paul exhorts Timothy to keep the faith, be on mission, prize & preach the Word, and live for what matters on Judgment Day. This message is particularly pertinent to those that we send out of our midst into the world, as a community with a large portion of college students.

Luke 20:1-19
The religious leaders question Jesus' authority, and Jesus, as he often does, answers them with a question of his own. Forrest Brown exegetes this passage, focusing on the authority of Jesus, the conflict with Jesus, and what we do with him.

Luke 19:28-48
In this passage, we see the complexity of Jesus' emotions as he receives praise, weeps over Jerusalem and clears out the temple in anger. All of this points to someone that is both fully human (like us) and yet wholly separate (receives due praise as God). Additionally, we see the heart of Jesus, who truly and deeply cares about people.

Luke 19:28-40
Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords. Luke presents the account of Jesus entering Jerusalem to kick off the first holy week. At that time, Jesus affirms that He is King and He will be glorified as such. In this message, Forrest takes us through Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, to unpack the weight of that claim in the through-line of biblical history.

Luke 19:11-27
In this passage, known as the Parable of the Ten Minas, Jesus has difficult words for his listeners. He warns them to spend all of the resources at their disposal--their time, energy and money--for the sake of the kingdom. He conveys that a safe life is a wasted life. And if we do not live with any risk in our lives for the kingdom, we ought to question if we are actual followers of Christ. Granted, we are not saved by anything we do/accomplish. But true faith is always accompanied by action....

Luke 18:31-19:10
As Jesus narrows the focus of his ministry toward Jerusalem (and the cross), he overtly prophesies his disciples that he will be abused, killed and raise again on the third day. And yet while he is looking into the eyes of his own death, he takes the time to respond to a blind beggar and a tax collector. This shows us Jesus' tremendous patience, his care for seemingly insignificant in society as well as traitorous sinners (whom we often think of as the worst of the worst). If Jesus takes time ou...

Luke 18:15-30
The story of the rich, young ruler is both widely known and often misunderstood. The Holy Spirit found it fitting to pair the stories of Jesus inviting little children to come to him while the wealthy ruler walked away in sadness. In order to come to Jesus, we must become like little children with nothing in our hands, nothing that we depend on for our righetousness. The stark contrast between these two (children and those with wealth/power) is a warning to us to trust fully in Jesus' life, deat...

Luke 18:9-14
What do we actually trust in for our righteousness--in our own ability to perform or in Jesus' performance on our behalf? The longer we are a Christian, the better we get at hiding how we depend on ourselves, which makes this passage all the more timely.

Luke 18:1-8
God's desire for his people is that they continually come to him in prayer and not lose heart. In this passage, Jesus uses the example of a sinful judge's treatment of a vulnerable widow in order to contrast that with God's character as a perfect judge. And Jesus is in search of those that have faith to continually plead for God's kingdom and justice to come in fullness.

Luke 17:20-37
What is the kingdom of God? Jesus talked about it more than anyone. He responds to the Pharisees by telling them that the kingdom is already here and yet it's also to come (some call this the already/not yet kingdom). In this text, Jesus gives us clues as to what the end times will look like and he challenges his hearers to be all-in for the kingdom.

Christmas 2022

Luke 17:5-19
In this passage, the apostles ask Jesus to increase their faith. We can see that faith is the foundation for sanctification. And faith, when it is carried through, results in gratitude for all that the Lord has done for us. At the end of our best days, we are still dependent children on the work of the Spirit in us. And we serve a God that generously gives his Spirit to help us.
