The Secret to Effective Confession - Ps 32

The Secret to Effective Confession - Ps 32

Confession is a very misunderstood, yet important tool for people to use when trying to fellowship with God. It is misunderstood because it is usually driven by the culture’s agenda and not the biblical agenda. And it is important because without it we perish. In Psalm 32, David takes us through a master class on the proper way to confess/ repent our sin. He certainly understands the need for it. As both a murder and adultery, his personal experience carves out a clear and effective path for us to follow. Listen to this episode from Pastor Mike’s sermon on June 14th, 2026 to learn more.

Taking Refuge in God's Steadfast Love - Ps 31

This week we begin our summer sermon series in the Psalms, starting with Psalm 31. This Psalm is important not only because our Lord quoted it with his final breaths on the cross, but also because with that he signaled for us how we ought to live as well. This Psalm holds the key to living with courageous strength in the face of life's mini toils and snares. Listen to this episode from Pastor Jed’s sermon on June 7th, 2026 to learn more.

The Scandalous Love of God - Matt 20:1-16

The parable of the "Laborers in the Vineyard" is a confusing one. The Master of the vineyard’s perceived unfairness is so glaring that it is hard to understand Jesus's point. Reading the parables of Jesus from a current-day perspective always makes our understanding weak, but in this case, the injustice of the master’s action seems undeniable. There is still an inequity to the master’s treatment of his workers, even if we don't quite grasp the nuances of vineyard care or labor negotiations of Jesus' day. When we understand the meaning of this parable, we understand just how amazingly scandalous God’s grace is. Listen to this episode from Pastor Mike’s sermon on May 31st, 2026 to learn more.

The Lord and Christ of the Nations - Acts 2:1-13

This week we remember and celebrate Pentecost, a word which simply means 50 days after. It's 50 days after Easter, and it was a pivotal day in God's work to close out the old covenant and launch the new. It is not a day or doctrine to argue over the details, because in doing so we can so easily miss out on God's grand purposes for the nations - that He has in His providence collected here.

If Christ Reigns, Then Who Is Geshem? - Neh 6

This week we remember and celebrate the Ascension in our worship. And in doing so, we must return to a chapter in Nehemiah that we skipped over - Nehemiah 6. For the threats that Nehemiah successfully navigated, we too face today. We face the same kinds of slanders and incitements to fear. Fear is the characteristic sin of our age. And the Ascension is our way of escape. Listen to this episode from Pastor Jed’s sermon on May 17th, 2026 to learn more.
