Media, Other Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

What is the mission of the church? What does it mean to go and make disciples? How do we do that and how does God want to use us in those endeavors? As we look at Luke 24:44-49 and answer those questions — my prayer is that we will see from Scripture, that we exist to declare and display the glory of God, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, by living sent lives to those across the street and around the world, for the establishing and building up of His local church among the nations.

Media, Sermons, The Pentateuch: Rescue East of Eden | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we conclude our study through the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. This is a five-week overview series, during which we’re spending one week on each book. Today we reach the fifth, and final, book of our series: Deuteronomy. This book records Moses’ final encouragements and exhortations to a new generation of Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land (again). It is filled to the brim with the love and law of Yahweh.

Today we continue our series through the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch.

Today we continue our series through the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. This is a five-week overview series, during which we’ll spend one week on each book. Today we land on Leviticus, one of the most neglected books of the Bible. Building on Genesis and Exodus, Leviticus recounts God’s call for his newly-forged people to, “Be holy, as he is holy.” Holiness isn’t a popular topic today, but it should be. God’s holiness is not dry, lifeless, and sterile but pulsates with life, pleasure, and joy—and he invites us to share in it with him.

Today we continue our new series through the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. This is a five-week overview series, during which we’ll spend one week on each book. Today we reach Exodus. Building on Genesis, Exodus continues to unfold the (true) story of how God sovereignly saves his people for his glory. He did then—and he does today. Exodus reveals God is not small and powerless, but sovereign and glorious. He is not meant to be a footnote to our lives, but our very lives.

Today we begin a new series through the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. This will be a five-week overview series, during which we’ll spend one week on each book. We begin our study with Genesis, the (true) story of beginnings. Grasping the big picture of this book is crucial for understanding the rest of the Bible—and also your life and that’s no small matter. Genesis takes us deep, fast.

“Transformed” is a 4-part series exploring the transforming power of God in our lives. We all know from our own lives and our experience of the world around us, that real, lasting change is elusive. Today, we wrap up the series by thinking through God’s call on us to “bear one another’s burdens” (Gal. 6:2) — and how that contributes to our cultivation of a culture of care that is conducive to change.
