Cultural Warfare - Single Sermons

Synopsis: We are reminded of our identity as citizens of a kingdom not of this world. From the culture of this kingdom we ought to wage war against our sinful passions, and the culture of the world, to the glory of God. Sermon Text: 1 Peter 2:11-12

By Promise, Not By Flesh - Creation and Blessing

Synopsis: Genesis 17 is the fullest expression of the covenant of grace in the Old Testament and is the framework both Jesus and the Apostles use to explain the gospel. God recut the covenant of Grace with Abram with Command and Promise, which Abraham received and obeyed as a model for everyone in covenant with God. Sermon Text: Genesis 17:1-27

By Faith, Not By Flesh - Creation and Blessing

Synopsis: We attempt to rush the fulfillment of God's promises through our own means and create greater sin and suffering. Yet the gracious Lord sees and hears, guiding our every action—both faithful and unfaithful—toward his ultimate purpose to bless us and the nations. Sermon Text: Genesis 16

He Ascended That He Might Descend - Evangelical Feast Days

In the Persian royal court, the grand vizier sat at the king’s right hand not as a guest of honor but as executive ruler on the monarch’s behalf. That is the image the New Testament reaches for when it says Christ sits at the right hand of God. He does not ascend to rest. He ascends to rule. But here is the question Pentecost asks us: How does a King enthroned in heaven rule the earth? How does the session up there become sovereignty down here? The answer is the Holy Spirit. Sermon Text: Acts 2:1-4

His Word is a True Word - Creation and Blessing

Synopsis: This is the theological pivot of the Abraham narrative. From this point forward the series focuses less on the land and more on the seed. The covenant made here in the dark — sealed by God’s own passing through — is the foundation on which every subsequent promise rests. And it is the same covenant renewed in our baptism, re-enacted each Lord’s Day at the table, confirmed again every week in the covenant renewal service. We sit at the table amid our enemies. We see Christ through a veil. We live in the valley of the shadow of death. And the question Genesis 15 answers is the same question we bring to every Lord’s Day: how do we know he will keep his word? Sermon Text: Genesis 15
