1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we continue our series through 1 Peter. Peter’s letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile. Today, in 1:10-12, he directs our attention to the sweeping cosmic story of God’s unfolding redemption and our place in it. The prophets predicted it. The apostles proclaimed it. The angels long to look into it. And we receive it, by faith.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we continue our series through 1 Peter. Peter’s letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile. Today, in 1:3-5, Peter bursts into a doxology (a praise of God) and puts his spotlight on God’s merciful, and miraculous, new birth available to all who embrace Jesus by faith.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

By God’s grace, today we begin a new, and important, 20-week series through 1 Peter. This ancient letter was written by the Apostle Peter, between A.D. 62-63 from Rome, to churches spread throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). His aim was to help them—and us—stand firm amidst trials, persecution, heartache in a world that is not our true home. In a word, Peter wants us to know exactly who, and whose, we are. His letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile.

Media, Other Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

How does Jesus impact how we think about our jobs? What difference should it make if an employee is a follower of Jesus? Or, more personally, would anyone in your office be surprised if they discovered you were a Christian? That’s an important question. Most of us will spend well over 80,000 hours “working” in our lifetime; that breaks down to two-thirds of our waking hours during the work week. Do those hours matter to Jesus? Yes. They matter more than we realize.

Missions & Church Planting, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

What is the mission of Jesus’ church? Why does it exist? In a word, what is the church for? What is our role in that? Those are the kinds of questions we’ll explore today in light of Matthew 28:16-20. What we’ll discover is that, yes, Jesus’ church has a massive, far-reaching purpose. His church is central to God’s unfolding story of redemption, across continents and millennia, among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world, and every follower of Jesus is called to be a part of it.

Prolife, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we’re continuing to walk through a set of five standalone sermons which we’re informally calling our ‘new year essentials.’ Again, this week, we wade into controversial waters. This time we discuss the nature of life, from the womb, and our cultural ‘high places’ that do not value it. This is an important word for us as we seek to be a people, in Jesus, who offer healing hope to a world in desperate need of it.

Ethnic Harmony, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we’re continuing to walk through a set of five standalone sermons which we’re informally calling our ‘new year essentials.’ Today, we’ll wade into the rough waters of racial trauma in our country and our response to it, as followers of Jesus. This topic is messy, controversial, and filled with sorrow — which is exactly why we need to discuss it. My hope is that we would be equipped as a Jesus-saturated, bible centered, multi-ethnic people in a divided world in need of help and healing. Let’s dive in together…

Bible Reading, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we’re kicking off a fresh series of standalone sermons that we’re informally calling our ‘new year essentials.’ Today my simple, but profound, goal is to encourage us to read the Bible with an aim to see and savor God’s supreme value, in Jesus. My hope, and that of all the elders, is that we would treasure this book for the treasure it reveals even more deeply this year. The treasures it contains are unsearchable, which makes this book precious beyond value.

Christmas, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Merry Christmas! As you know, this is a particularly unique Sunday as it coincides with Christmas Eve. Christmas, of course, marks the birth of Jesus the Christ, truly God and truly man, who came to save the lost – people like you and I. While conditions of his arrival could not have been more humble, the implications for us could not be more profound. Therefore, today we are joining with Jesus’ people across continents, and millennia, in celebrating his arrival. Friends, our Saving-King has come – and is coming again.

Suffering, Job, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we complete our seven-week study through the ancient book of Job. Job is one of the most profound, and perhaps best known, books of the Bible because it deals with one of the most profound issues that we face: suffering. The questions that suffering raises are among the most important, yet difficult, we will ever face. Today, we reach the climactic final chapter and address a crucial question: How do we trust God when life hurts?
