Prayer, Media, New Year Essentials 2019, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we continue our new year essentials sermon series. This four-week series addresses important themes we must repeatedly return to for the glory of God, the good of others, and our ongoing transformation. Today we will consider how to reboot our prayer life at the start of a new year. We know prayer is important, but there is a lot that wars against us to keep us from praying. So, how do we move forward? That’s what today is all about.

Ethnic Harmony, Media, New Year Essentials 2019, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we are continuing our new year essentials sermon series. This series addresses important themes that we must repeatedly return to for the glory of God, the good of others, and our ongoing transformation. Today we are going to consider what it means to be a gospel-forged people in a politically divided age. The big question before us is simple, yet profound: as Jesus’ people, how do we not mirror the divisions in the world, but heal them?

Bible Reading, Media, New Year Essentials 2019, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we are beginning a set of annual sermons we refer to as our new year essentials. These sermons address subjects and important themes that we must repeatedly return to for the glory of God and the transformation of our inner and outer lives. These are not, of course, the same sermons. Rather, they are different sermons, taking different angles, on issues we need to come back to again and again. We begin our year, and our series, by considering the nature of the Bible and the irreplaceable value of storing it up in our hearts.

Media, Sermons, Songs of Christmas | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This evening we are wrapping-up our Advent series, The Songs of Christmas, in which we’ve explored the gospel wonders of Christmas. Each week we considered a different song that emerged around the arrival of God-in-the-flesh, Jesus Christ. Today we reach the climactic close with Heaven’s song, recorded in Revelation 5. This song doesn’t originate in Jesus’ coming, but it does explain why he came—and that makes it a great Christmas song.

We are currently in a month-long Advent series, The Songs of Christmas, in which we are exploring the gospel wonders of Christmas. Today we reach Jesus’ Song. Of course, we don’t have an actual song recorded that Jesus sang, but if he had a song it would be Psalm 110. This psalm is one of the most important psalms that points to the long-awaited, much anticipated Messiah—whose arrival we are celebrating this week.

Media, Sermons, Songs of Christmas | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

We are currently in the midst of a month-long Advent series, The Songs of Christmas, in which we are exploring the soul-thrilling wonders of Christmas. Each week we are reflecting on a different biblical song that emerges around the arrival of God-in-the-flesh, Jesus Christ. Last week, we considered Zechariah’s Song (Lk. 1:67-80). Today, we will look at The Angels’ Song (Lk. 2:14) sung by a multitude of the heavenly host declaring God’s glory and peace. Let us consider what this means for us this season.

Each week we are reflecting on a different biblical song that emerges around the arrival of God-in-the-flesh, Jesus Christ. Last week, we considered Mary’s Song (Lk. 1:46-55). Today, we will look at Zechariah’s Song (Lk. 1:67-80) which reveals a new day has dawned for those living in darkness—and anyone can get in on it.

Media, Parables of Jesus: Windows into Reality, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today, we end on the Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector found in Luke 18:9-14. This parable is a beautiful, yet shocking, picture of the upside-down nature of the kingdom of God. It confronts us with the all-important question, “How do I know where I stand with God?” and is a fitting conclusion to our series.
