As we continue our series, Extraordinary through the Ordinary, we look at one the most extraordinary events of the Bible, the coming of the promised Holy Spirit.

That is, the Spirit of God, which results in overwhelming joy, fervor for holiness, and boldness to proclaim the mighty works of God. Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-7, 11b-21, 38-41 ...

March 22, 2020 14:00 - 32 minutes - 32.8 MB

The Poetry of Eulogy: Lament + His Goodness

March 08, 2020 14:00 - 34 minutes - 25.7 MB

The ability for pain and praise to be simultaneously present in our lives is one of the unique realities of the Christian faith. The poet of Lamentations 3 puts this truth on full display. Whatever tragedy might befall us, whatever storms may come, whatever suffering awaits us, may our refrain in all circumstances be, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23)!

Walking With Jesus - Lost + Found

February 09, 2020 15:00 - 35 minutes - 26.5 MB

Luke 14:25-33     25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. 28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For i...

In our fourth week in the Gospel of Luke, we focused on getting to know Jesus in the context of our repentance from Luke 13:1-9. While we often frown on the discipline of repentance, it’s in true repentance that we find freedom, joy, and life. And it’s where we get to know Jesus most intimately.

Walking With Jesus - Walking with the Poor

January 12, 2020 15:00 - 29 minutes - 22.2 MB

This week we continue our series looking at passages from the Gospel of Luke in order to consider what is means to not know about Jesus, but rather to know him. In this second sermon in the series, based out of Luke 4:16-30, we wrestle with the beautiful, yet scandalous reality that salvation only comes to the poor. Though that is a jarring statement, listen and consider why it is also beautiful and hope-filled.

God With Us - The Exile

December 22, 2019 15:00 - 26 minutes - 36.6 MB
