Exodus: Holding Up Each Other's Arms

Exodus: Holding up Each Other’s Arms

A Sermon Based on Exodus 17:8-13

We continue our march through the wilderness. Here we run into a most intractable foe: Amalek. It is a foe that picks off the vulnerable and the weak. How does the Church win in the battle? What do we learn? The Church holds up each other’s hands. This sermon looks at what the Church does and why she does it. More though, it looks at what Christ did for the Church when she failed in her calling. He fought all alone to hold onto us.

Wider than the Ocean: Certainty

Wider than the Ocean: Certainty

A Sermon Based on Job 11:7-12

This sermon is the cornerstone sermon in a new sermon series called Wider than the Ocean. As we move along in this time of pandemic, we have the opportunity to enter it anew with the certainty, faith, hope, and calling of Christ. We begin today by seeing how to find real certainty amidst all the uncertainty. The temptation is always to try to know what we cannot know. Life with Christ begins when we know what we can know and content ourselves with that.

Strengthened in True Ambition

Strengthened in True Ambition

A Sermon Based on 1 Thess. 4:9-12

We are often ambitious for many things. We can tell what we’re aspiring for by looking at what we want in our future, what we regret about your past, or what we want for our children. This sermon fleshes out what God wants us to be ambitious for and strives in its own way to empower that with the gospel of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ.

A Sermon Based on 1 Thessalonians 1:1
