Timberline Windsor | Fully Human: Why am I Here? | Donny Abbott

The sermon centers on the question “Why am I here?” using as its foundation, arguing that people naturally seek meaning and purpose, especially in a world that often feels empty or directionless. It explains that, according to the Apostle Paul, humans were once spiritually “dead” in sin but are brought to life through God’s grace, emphasizing that purpose is not self-created but given by God. The message highlights three main reasons for human existence: to know God personally, to extend grace and love to others as a reflection of the grace received, and to participate in meaningful work that contributes to God’s greater plan. Overall, the sermon teaches that true purpose comes from a relationship with God, living out love and forgiveness, and actively engaging in a life that reflects divine intention.

Timberline Windsor | Fully Human: Where Did I Come From? | Brent Cunningham

This sermon explores the question of human origin and argues that where we come from shapes how we understand meaning, identity, and purpose. It teaches that humans are not accidents but intentionally created by God, as shown in Genesis, where God forms people personally and gives them life through His breath. Being made in the “image of God” means every person has inherent dignity and represents God in the world, regardless of status or ability. The sermon also emphasizes that our deep desires for meaning and connection point to a Creator, not a meaningless existence. Although sin has distorted this image, it has not destroyed it, which explains the brokenness in the world. Ultimately, Jesus is presented as the perfect example of what it means to be fully human, and through Him, people can be restored and transformed back into the image they were created to reflect.

Timberline Windsor | Fully Human: Created and Beloved | Aaron Hanson

Kicking off the Fully Human series, this message explores one of the most foundational questions we can ask: where do we come from, and what does it mean to be human? In a world where identity is often self-defined and truth feels unstable, Scripture points us back to a clear and grounding reality: we are not accidents, but intentionally created by God. Our origin shapes everything about our identity, purpose, and worth.   Drawing from Psalm 8 and Genesis, the message reveals that to be fully human is not something to overcome, but something God designed as good. We are personally created, fully known and deeply loved, and crowned with glory and honor as image-bearers of God. Rather than diminishing our humanity, sin distorts it, but in Christ, we are invited to rediscover what it truly means to live as the people God created us to be.

Timberline Windsor | Easter Service 2026 | Donny Abbott

This Easter sermon centers on the message that “Jesus saves” by explaining the meaning and impact of the Resurrection. It begins with a personal, relatable story and then highlights how shocking and “scandalous” the Resurrection was—even Jesus’ own followers struggled to believe it. The sermon explains that the Resurrection is foundational to Christianity, because if it didn’t happen, the entire faith falls apart—but if it did, it proves Jesus’ identity, offers forgiveness, and gives hope beyond death. It also emphasizes that the Resurrection is transformational, showing that no life is beyond change, just as seen in William Booth’s ministry to the broken in London. Ultimately, the message is that because Jesus rose from the dead, there is always hope, God is still pursuing people, and no matter how hopeless life may seem, “there is always one more move.”

Timberline Windsor | Palm Sunday: "Luke 19.28-44" | Mackenzie Matthews

This message explains the meaning of Palm Sunday through the story in Luke 19:28–44, where Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey. It highlights how this moment is like a royal parade, but instead of coming as a conquering king, Jesus comes humbly and peacefully, fulfilling prophecy. The speaker emphasizes that God is intentional in every detail, even the small ones, and challenges listeners to notice how God is working in their own lives. Different groups in the story—disciples, the crowd, and Pharisees—each respond to Jesus but misunderstand his true purpose, expecting a political savior rather than one who would bring spiritual salvation. The message ultimately points to the contrast between Jesus’ humble first coming and his future return in glory, encouraging people to surrender control, trust God’s greater plan, and fully recognize Jesus as King.
