The Preeminence of Christ

-
Genesis (Week 9) - "With a Family Like This...Who Needs Enemies?!?"
God works all things together for the good of those who love him. The faith of Joseph challenges us to trust God, even when it seems that God has forgotten us.
-
Genesis (Week 8) - A Flawed & Fallen Family
The people of God are not perfect, and the world is fallen. The mistakes and sins of the fathers of the faith should serve as both an encouragement and a warning for those who believe today.
-
Genesis (Week 7) - "Sibling Rivalry"
God never justifies the sin of the trickster Jacob but also accepts him as his own. By accepting Isaac’s blessing of Jacob and confirming the promise given to him, God is showing the world that his ways are not based on merit or birth order—or whatever the world uses to judge worth.
-
Genesis (Week 3) - "Divine Intervention"
The flood is a demonstration of God’s care and concern for his creation. When you see a rainbow, remember the promise of God.

One Year From Now: Looking Back & Looking Forward
This week's sermon is focused both on looking at the end of the year that’s closing and ahead to the year to come. Jesus’s commitment to the will of his Father and the well-being of his “family” and his confidence in God’s presence are significant when it comes to setting the pace for our lives....
-
The Book of Ecclesiastes (Week 4) - "Doubt and Faith"
Even though the Preacher describes a meaningless world that can challenge one to doubt, he fully affirms the God who gives meaning to life. We will believe in the God who gives life meaning.
-
The Book of Ecclesiastes (Week 3) - "An Empty Life"
The Preacher tries to find meaning and satisfaction through pleasure, wealth, work, and gaining knowledge. But he finds these paths meaningless. We will not seek ultimate meaning in money, work, knowledge, or pleasure.
-
The Book of Ecclesiastes (Week 2) - The Problem with Earthly Wisdom
The Preacher shows the problem with using wisdom as a formula for the perfect life. Life is random, complex, and often unjust. We will trust in God and not in our formulas to control a life that is beyond our control.
-
Jesus In The Psalms (Week 3) - The Good Shepherd
Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and we are his sheep. Find a few moments each day this week for quiet prayer and Bible reading, in order to create space for the Good Shepherd to work in you. Bring that quiet connection to Jesus into the spaces of your daily life.

Jesus In The Psalms (Week 4) - "The First and Second Advent"
Psalm 98 celebrates Jesus’s first coming and anticipates a day when we will celebrate his second coming. Read Psalm 98 this week, and listen to a traditional choral rendition of “Joy to the World” by Isaac Watts. Meditate on both. Is Jesus’s second coming a joyful thing or a fearful thing for you?
-
Jesus In The Psalms (Week 2) - The One and Only Righteous Man
Jesus is the ultimate man of righteousness. Read through Psalm 1 again, thinking of it as a description of Jesus. Which of Jesus’s good habits described there can you let rub off on you this week?
-
Jesus In The Psalms (Week 1) - The One and Only Priestly King
Jesus Christ is both Priest and King. Identify the areas of your life that you consider “your own,” the areas that you like to have control over. In what ways can you surrender these areas of control to Christ the King?
-
New Exodus (Week 7) - From Where Does Success Come?
The gospel redefines what makes us successful. Ultimately, our success is found in Jesus and his work, not in what we accomplish.

Airplane Mode REVISITED - Solitude
We live in a noisy world. Even when alone, apart from sound, we’re bombarded with texts, emails, and social media messages. The desire to seek solitude and silence isn’t only about finding a quiet place. It’s about discovering the gift of removing ourselves from the cacophony of messages to find...
-
Spiritual Warfare, Faith, Prayer - Eph. 6:10-24

Hot Topics (Week 6) - Identification
“Six Truths…” 1️⃣ All people are beautiful & wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:13-14) 2️⃣ Our bodies are ultimately created for God. (Romans 1:21-25, 1 Cor. 10:31) 3️⃣ We are designed & defined by God for a purpose. (Genesis 1:27) 4️⃣ We all have rebelled & rejected God’s plan for sexuality. (2 Cor....
-
Hot Topics (Week 5)
What does God think about abortion? In the eyes of God the Creator, all creation—and all human life—is valuable. Being pro-life is about more than abortion. As believers, we should live in a way that honors the dignity of all humans, regardless of political policy or societal norms.
-
Hot Topics (Week 4)
Jesus tells us not to worry about tomorrow, but that’s not always easy. Nor is keeping our temper in check, especially when we see rampant injustice in the world around us.

-
Hot Topics (Week 3)
What is the relationship between faith and science? Faith and science are not opposing disciplines. Throughout history, Christians have often been the greatest proponents of scientific discovery, using their intellect to worship God. We should love God with all our minds, allowing faith and…

Hot Topics (Week 2)
How can we trust the Bible? We can trust that the Bible is God’s Word because of its enduring message. The Bible remains the primary way God teaches, encourages, and guides humanity. As believers, we can be confident that the message of Scripture is reliable and relevant to our lives—and live in...
-
Hot Topics (Week 1)
If Christians really love Jesus, why is there so much hurt in the church? Jesus confronted the hypocrisy of religious people and desires that his disciples walk in love. Only when we stop pretending the church is perfect can we invite Jesus to conform us more and more to his image.
-
Galatians (Week 5)
The temptation in our society is to find our worth in our actions: whether they are moral (in the church) or successful (in the world). But Christians know they are loved and approved because of Jesus. What would it look like this week not to participate in the struggle for approval and success?
-
Galatians (Week 4)
God has brought us into his household. You are a son or daughter of God, and everything is okay between you two! Are you living your daily life like that is true?

The law points us to Christ. Where have you fallen short of the standards God sets for you and that you set for yourself? Lean into his promise of grace this week.
