Sermon: Ascended & Reigning (May 17, 2026)

Sermon: Deliverance from Deceit (June 7, 2026)

Scripture Text: Psalm 120 Series: Psalms of Ascent Bryan Buck Quotes for Reflection Julian of Norwich, The Showings of Julian Norwich As long as we are in this life, whenever we foolishly turn our attention to those we deem not to be on a spiritual path, our Lord God tenderly touches us and blessedly calls to us, speaking to our souls: Let me be the only object of your attention, my beloved child. Focus on me alone, for I am enough for you. Rejoice in your savior and your salvation. John Newton, The Letters of John Newton We judge things by their present appearances, but the Lord sees them in their consequences. J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on the Gospels We must take our whole heart to the house of God, and worship and hear like those who listen to the reading of a benefactor's will. Steven J Lawson, Holman Old Testament Commentary An incomparable blessing awaits God's people whenever they come to God's house to hear God's Word. True spiritual growth necessitates that believers regularly attend the gathering of worshippers and sit under the Scripture being taught. Wherever the Word of God is proclaimed, the glory of God is manifested, and the grace of God is magnified in the hearts of the saints. Whatever the distance a person must travel to receive the Word, the effort is always eternally rewarding. Singing praises to God with other like-minded believers makes the journey worth the while. Nothing is more important to one's spiritual life than hearing and living God's Word. Application Questions 1. Think back on a challenge you faced this week. How did you initially respond? Did you trust in yourself or God? What does your gut reaction reveal about your heart? 2. Have you ever been the object of slander in your community? Why would the Psalmist recommend that we trust in God’s judgement rather than pursue retribution on our own? 3. Why would traveling to Jerusalem to worship at the Temple be the ultimate solution for dealing with a deceitful world?

Sermon: A Faithful Father (May 24, 2026)

Scripture Text: Scripture Text: 1 Corinthians 12:1-13 and Acts 2:1-13 Bryan Buck Quotes for Reflection Ben Witherington III Throughout Acts, the presence of the Spirit is seen as the distinguishing mark of Christianity — it is what makes a person a Christian. John Owen, Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Each Person Distinctly, in Love, Grace, and Consolation But just remember…he is our most loving Father. Every other discovery of God, without this, will but make the soul fly from him; but if the heart be once much taken up with this the eminency of the Father’s love, it cannot choose but be overpowered, conquered, and endeared unto him. This, if any thing, will work upon us to make our abode with him. If the love of a father will not make a child delight in him, what will? Put, then, this to the venture: exercise your thoughts upon this very thing, then eternal, free, and fruitful love for the Father, and see if your hearts be not wrought upon to delight in him. N.T. Wright, Acts for Everyone Instead of a holiday, imagine a moment, long promised, dreamed of, planned for, mulled over, prayed for, ached for, agonized over: a moment when things would work out right at last, when hopes would be realized and good times would begin. A moment when a huge sigh of relief would give way to a huge sense of new possibilities: now, at last, things could really start! Application Questions 1. Why is a SAY/DO ratio so important for relationships? 2. In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit fulfilled God’s promises. Why was the Spirit the answer and how was this different from what the disciples expected? 3. Where do you need a fresh apprehension of God’s faithfulness this week? How can you trust the Holy Spirit for this need?
