  • 11.3.2024 "A Chosen People: David"
    2024/11/03

    David is one of the most central figures - not only in the Bible - but in history. His biography is longer than any other from ancient history. Statues of David can be found from Venice, Italy to Washington D.C. More stories from his life are recounted in Scripture than that of Abraham or Moses. In the New Testament - one of David's Psalms (110) - is quoted more than any other passage from the Old Testament.

    Why is David so important? And what is the connection between David and Jesus?

    In this sermon, Pastor Kevin explores 2 Samuel 7 - to demonstrate how the promises made to David are fulfilled ultimately in Jesus of Nazareth.

  • 10.27.2024 "A Chosen People: Moses"
    2024/10/28

    Moses is one of the most well known characters in the Bible. Multiple episodes from his life feature prominently in children's Bibles and Sunday School lessons. His story is covered in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. But, the events of his life end up becoming themes that carry on throughout the Old and New Testaments, and even meet us today.

    In this sermon, Pastor Aaron reminds us that Moses was an ordinary man, like all of us, but God is the one who worked His promises through Moses.

  • 10.20.2024 "Movements of Scripture: A Chosen People (I)"
    2024/10/20

    In Genesis 12, God comes down. No, this is not the "incarnation." This is not the virgin birth of Jesus. But it sets a certain pattern (which Jesus will ultimately fulfill!) - of God partnering with humanity to achieve His goals.

    God meets with a man named Abram, calling him from his homeland, and thrusting him into a quest for the salvation of all mankind. Sound epic? It is. And it's also the way God continues to work.

    God, still today, "partners" with humanity for the sake of the world - to fulfill the promise made to Abram - that His people would be "a blessing to all the families on the earth." And he accomplishes this - through His people.

    Looking for inspiration for how God is working in your life? Listen as Pastor Kevin unpacks this week's "Movement of Scripture."

  • 10.13.2024 "Movements of Scripture: The Fall"
    2024/10/13

    The 2nd major movement with the Scripture is the fall into sin.

    In our first sermon, we established that God is the creator of all things. We discussed that what we believe about our beginnings affects our every day reality.

    In this 2nd movement of Scripture, we looked at the origins of where sin and all its horrible effects come from. Because, what we believe about the origins of sin also affects our every day reality.

    So, where does it all come from? Take a listen to this sermon as we open up the Bible to Genesis chapter 3.

  • 10.6.2024 "Movements of Scripture: Creation"
    2024/10/06

    This is the first sermon in a series called "Movements of Scripture." In this series, we will be focusing on 8 major movements that happen within the Bible. The goal of focusing on these movements is that we will have placeholders throughout the story of the Bible so that as we open up the Bible and read it we will have a better understanding of where we are.

    In this first sermon we begin where the Bible begins: creation.

  • 9.29.2024 "Peace in Politics"
    2024/09/29

    The word "politics" comes from the Greek word "polis" which means "city." It's the term that describes how we go about tending to shared, civilian life: how we govern and are governed, what laws order our life together, and what programs & systems are put in place towards the welfare of humanity.

    With this definition in mind, it is clear: Jesus was political. Jesus had much to say regarding how we interact in our shared, civilian life. The scriptures give explicit direction towards how to treat those who govern us (see Romans 13). So, what does "The Word" have to say about politics?

    In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks the unique path our faith gives us to navigate the political realm. Instead of bowing down to any one ideology/party/agenda - we are given "Kingdom Vision" to demonstrate our ultimate allegiance to God - even in the realm of politics.

  • 9.22.2024 "Peace in Relationships"
    2024/09/22

    Being in relationships with other people is part and parcel to what it means to be humans. And yet, from the very beginning, in the first relationship between Adam and Eve, sin broke it. That same sin also broke the perfect relationship that God created between himself and those same humans.

    Every one of us have broken and strained relationships with other people. But, is that the way that it has to be? No. Jesus has given us the gift of forgiveness.

    We talk about forgiveness all of the time as Christian people, but how many of us actually put into practice what Jesus offers us?

    In this sermon, Pastor Aaron helps to demonstrate to us the beautifully freeing gift that forgiveness is.

  • 9.15.24 "Peace in Schedules"
    2024/09/15

    Do you feel like life is too busy? Do you find your schedule overwhelming? Do you notice yourself being scattered or unable to sit still for periods without a device?

    For many of us, are lives are overly complex. We've got too many commitments, too much to do, and not enough time. But what if that wasn't the case? What if we have just the amount of time we need to live a fulfilling life?

    God gave the ancient Israelites a practice that is as revenant today as ever. It's called "The Sabbath." Much more than a "command" (it's one of the "Big 10") -- the Sabbath is an invitation to live an unhurried, peace-filled life. How do we practice it? What does it look like to live this way?

    Take a listen, as Pastor Kevin preaches on the Sabbath - the antidote for peace in our schedules.
