The Good Samaritan Isn’t About Being Nice
Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan in response to a man who wanted to “justify himself.” But what if we’ve misunderstood the point of the parable? The Good Samaritan isn’t merely a story about being nice and helpful. It is a story about mercy—and ultimately about Christ. We are sinners...
-
Christ Jesus Has Done All Things Well
We are surrounded by a world disordered by sin—and we are part of the problem. We cannot fix ourselves, and even Christ’s ministers are insufficient in themselves. But Jesus Christ is sufficient. He has done all things well. In Mark 7:37, the people marvel that Jesus makes the deaf hear and the...
-
You Are Justified
What do you have to boast about before God? The short answer: nothing. In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus gives us a picture of two men standing before God. One boasts about his righteousness. The other can only confess, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” And Jesus says...

Work Hard, Play Hard — But What About Jesus? | The One Thing Needful
The world tells us to “work hard, play hard.” But what happens when work, money, recreation, and the pursuit of pleasure leave no room for Christ? On the Tenth Sunday after Trinity, Rev. Tyrel Bramwell examines Jesus’ weeping over Jerusalem, Jeremiah’s warning against spiritual complacency, and…

The Sons of This Age vs. the Sons of Light | Luke 16:8 Explained
Why does Jesus appear to praise an unrighteous steward in Luke 16? In this sermon for the Ninth Sunday after Trinity, Rev. Tyrel Bramwell looks at one of Christ's most difficult parables, getting into the Greek of Luke 16:8. Far from commending unrighteousness, Jesus exposes the single-minded...

Jesus warns that false prophets don't look like wolves—they come dressed as sheep. In this sermon for the Eighth Sunday after Trinity, Rev. Tyrel Bramwell examines Christ's warning in Matthew 7 alongside the Apostle John's striking command in 2 John: "Do not receive him into your house or give…

The Lie That Is Spoiling Modern Christians
esus fed thousands in the wilderness because He had compassion on them. But His compassion didn't end with bread—it led all the way to His cross and to the altar, where He continues to feed His people with His own body and blood.Yet there's another side of God's compassion that we often resist.…
more -
Your Righteousness Isn't Enough, And That's the Point
Jesus didn't lower God's standards—He raised them. Our Lord teaches that anger toward neighbor is murder, lust is adultery, and true righteousness goes far deeper than outward behavior. If that's true, and it is, then none of us can stand before God on our own merits. That's exactly the point.…

"At Your Word I Will" | Trusting Christ Beyond Human Reason (Luke 5:1–11)
When Jesus told Simon Peter to let down the nets after a long night of failure, everything human reason knew about fishing said it was pointless.

udge Not? What Jesus Actually Meant | Luke 6:37–42

-
The Shepherd Who Comes Looking for You | Luke 15:1–10
Why does Jesus leave the ninety-nine to search for the one lost sheep? In this sermon on Luke 15:1–10, we hear the comforting truth that Christ does not seek sinners in order to condemn them, but to rescue them. Like a shepherd searching for a wandering sheep, our Lord pursues those who have gone...
-
Blessed Is Everyone Who Eats Bread in the Kingdom of God
Why do people make excuses when God invites them to receive His gifts? In this sermon on Luke 14:15–24, Pastor Tyrel Bramwell explores Jesus’ parable of the Great Banquet and the tragic reality that many value earthly blessings more than the heavenly bread Christ freely gives. From farms and...
-
The Rich Man, Lazarus, and the Churches We Admire | Luke 16:19–31

Stop Texting with Jesus — God Sent You a Pastor
In a world where AI chatbots claim to connect you to “Jesus,” Rev. Tyrel Bramwell delivers an unflinching sermon on why God still uses real, flesh-and-blood men to preach His Word. Drawing from 1 Kings 17, Romans 10, and Luke 7, this message confronts our discomfort with pastoral authority and...
