Praying for the Salvation of All People - 1 Timothy 2:3-7

In the second chapter of 1 Timothy, the Apostle Paul instructs the church to pray for all people -- specifically, for the salvation of all people. Why should we do that? Paul gives three reasons. God desires the salvation of all people, our confession of faith demands that we invite all people into this salvation, and the death of Christ is sufficient for the salvation of all people. So, let's pray for it! 1 Timothy 2:3-7

Praying in light of the Gospel (Part 1) | 1 Timothy 2:1-7

In this first sermon from a mini-series from 1 Timothy 2:1–7, we explore why prayer must saturate the life of the church. Paul begins his practical instruction to Timothy with a call to pray — not just as a routine, but as the church’s first priority. Why? Because prayer is how we commune with God, express humble dependence on His provision, and participate in His saving mission. This message calls the church to reignite the “boiler room” of intercession — to be a people who truly believe that G...

Discover: Why Christ’s call includes the promise of His strength How Paul’s radical conversion gives hope for every lost cau...

The Law & The Gospel of Jesus | 1 Timothy 1:6-11

In this sermon from 1 Timothy 1:6–11, Pastor Jeremy explores how the law, when misused, can lead to confusion, pride, and harm—but when rightly used, it leads to Christ. Paul calls the church to hold fast to sound doctrine, not as an end in itself, but as a means of guarding the gospel and pointing sinners to grace. 1 Timothy 1:6-11

An Urgency for Gospel Purity | 1 Timothy 1:1-5

The Apostle Paul opens this letter to Timothy, reminding him of the urgency to maintain gospel purity in the church.

Therefore, Timothy is being instructed to remain in Ephesus, to defend the truth of the gospel, and to cultivate the fruit of love which flows from the gospel. 1 Timothy 1:1-5

"He is Not Here, He Is Risen" | Matthew 28:1-10

The resurrection of Jesus is not just the end of the story—it’s the breaking open of heaven’s power, hope, and grace.

The tomb is empty, and Jesus is calling us home. Matthew 28:1-10

On trial before human judges, Jesus reveals Himself as the true Judge, the divine King, and the servant Savior.

Matthew 26:57-68, 27:1-2

Jesus at the End: Praying in the Garden | Matthew 26:30-46

In the Garden of Gethsemane, we see both the depth of our weakness and the strength of Christ’s love. This sermon explores how Jesus doesn’t flinch at our failures but instead drinks the cup of wrath, stands in our place, and walks with us through our darkest moments. No matter how far we’ve fallen, Gethsemane assures us: His love goes farther. Matthew 26:30-46

Responding to a Fallen World | Esther 4

The story of Esther reveals with vivid detail the reality that we live in a fallen world. How should God’s people respond when faced with such brokenness, sin, and destruction? In Esther chapter 4, Mordecai responds to the declaration that Hamen will destroy all the Jewish people by tearing his clothes, putting on sackcloth and ashes, and crying out with a loud and bitter cry. This is the art of Lament.
