1 John, Media, Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

Throughout the book of 1 John there’s several repeating themes, but the whole book is written so that we could have confidence in who He is, what He has done, and who we are. Today, in 1 John 1:5-2:2, we’re going to look at how the holiness of God shapes our fellowship with Him and how the Gospel changes us from people who walk in darkness to people who have been and are being redeemed by the Glory of God and the light of Jesus.

Media, Psalms: Songs for Life, Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

This morning we’re looking at one of the most well known Psalms in the Bible, Psalm 51. In this Psalm David opens the proverbial lid on his heart and gives us a brutally honest picture of how he views his sin in light of God’s righteousness. Through it we see a beautiful picture of the mercy, grace, forgiveness, and the redemption that God offers to those who repent of their sin.

Media, Psalms: Songs for Life, Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

This morning, we look at Psalm 19. In this song, David considers the revelation of God and his prayerful response. He gives us a picture of what creation reveals about the glory and majesty of God, what the scriptures teach us on the perfection, holiness, and righteousness of God, and then how we (as God’s people) reflect and respond to Him in our lives.

Media, Other Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

Imagine God thinking about you. If I asked you what you think God’s feels about you when you come to mind, what would you say? How we answer that question has deep implications for the way we view His love and our relationship with Him. Each of us long to be loved and to experience the deep love of another, yet we all know there’s things that get in the way of being deeply loved and loving others. What we’re going to unpack today out of Luke 15 is how the radical love God has for us, reorients our hearts, emotions, and lives towards living out of our true selves, anchored in all that God is for us in Jesus Christ.

Disciple: Living For Jesus, Media, Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

Over the last 5 weeks, we’ve been unpacking what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, and what it practically looks like to follow Him in our everyday lives. As the good news of the gospel penetrates into our hearts and lives, it makes us a new people who are zealous for good works, and growing in their love for God and others. Today, we’re going to wrap up this series and see how our discipleship isn’t something that takes place in isolation, but something that God designed to be worked out in the context of the local church.

Missions & Church Planting, Disciple: Living For Jesus, Media, Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

This morning we are continuing our six-week summer series called Disciple: Living for Jesus. Our on going hope in this series is to provide some theological handles for understanding who we are 'in Christ' and some practical applications for living in light of that. Last week we looked at how the gospel brings us together as a new people, and today, we will continue our study and examine what it means to live as sent people here in Seattle.

Media, Philippians, Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

This week, in Philippians 2:1-11, Paul continues the theme of love and unity, but directs our attention to Christ, as the perfect example of humility and sacrificial love. Because of Christ’s example, we can not only have confidence in his work on our behalf, but we can also take comfort in knowing the whole reason that we celebrate Christ at Christmas is because He was, is, and will always be the perfect God man. It’s easy to find joy in the superficial, but our true Joy will only be found when we recognize the humility and service of our great God and King.
