Listening for the Arrows (January 7, 2024)

Sunday night’s message:

The decorations come down, the calendar turns, and Christmas recedes into memory—but Matthew 2 insists there’s something that doesn’t go out of season. And if the Gospel doesn’t go out of season, are we keeping ourselves focused on where it is pointing us?

Who Is Walking Toward You? (December 3, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

How you respond to Jesus depends entirely on whether you’ve truly grasped who He is—and in John 6, as Jesus walks across the sea to His disciples in the dark, He makes that question impossible to dodge.

When Your Cup Runs Over with Sorrow (November 19, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

The holidays can bring back the empty chair, the family hurt, the memories of when everything felt joyful—and before long, sorrow and anxiety begin to take over. The words of Romans 8 help us in times when grief feels stronger than truth.

The Leaning Tower of Life (October 22, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

We’ve all sensed it—a choice that seemed perfect in the moment, but leaves us listing further down the road. Matthew 7:24–27 presents two builders, two houses, nearly identical except for what lies beneath, and asks which foundation will hold when the rains come.

Does Jesus Know You? (October 15, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

You can confess Jesus as Lord, cast out demons, do mighty works—and still hear him say, “I never knew you.” Matthew 7:21–23 cuts past everything we think proves we’re his followers, asking instead the question that actually matters: Does he know you?

Running the Wrong Way (August 20, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

Sometimes we become so fixed on where we want to go that we cannot see how we are defeating ourselves. Jonah runs in the opposite direction when God sends him to Nineveh, raising questions we often avoid: Do we understand who God is, who we are, and how He sees the people we would rather leave behind?

A Freezer That Floats (May 21, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

We like life easy, so when following Jesus brings bumps instead of the smoother path we expected, we wonder what went wrong. Luke 9 reminds us that Jesus never promised following him would meet that expectation.

The Big Box Problem (April 2, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

We’ve always been better at hailing the leader who delivers what we want than trusting the one God has actually sent. Way back in Numbers 12 and 16, even Moses’ own family turns on him for not being the kind of leader they expected. Can we see God’s working any more clearly than they did?

The Majority Was Wrong (March 26, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

God had been leading Israel every step of the way—parting the Red Sea, dropping food from the sky, guiding them with a pillar of fire at night—and still, when twelve spies came back from the promised land, ten of them said it couldn’t be done, and the crowd went with them. Numbers 13 and 14 ask a question we face too: when the majority says no, does that settle it?

Songs for Our Temple (Week 14: Ps. 40-42)

Please join me as we turn to our next three Psalms (40-42) and reflect on how they turn us towards our true hope as we look forward to Easter.
