Rest for the Restless
August 11, 2024

Genesis
Envy
February 22, 2026
Envy is rivalry and comparison gone off the rails. Envy produces sorrow over your neighbor’s success and joy over their misfortune. It’s so common it can be described as the oldest and most consistent source of relational strife in the Bible. The first sin out of are the garden is fueled by it. So, in this sermon we look at Cain’s story. What is envy? Why is it so deadly? How does Jesus free us from it?

Vainglory

Seeking God in the Wilderness
January 4, 2026
Psalm 63 is David praying in the wilderness. And the amazing thing is how he prays. He doesn’t ask God to get him out of the wilderness, but he simply seeks God himself. And David ends up finding satisfaction and security right there in the wilderness. What if we made this our prayer for the new year? What if it was our prayer for all of life?
Psalms
Trust in God Alone

The Gospel Preserved for You

The Fulfillment of the Law

Hometown Rejection
January 16, 2022
In Luke’s first detailed account of Jesus’ public ministry, Jesus returns to his hometown synagogue as the guest preacher. And it goes really well … until it doesn’t.

Unveiling Persecution
April 28, 2024
The church in Smyrna was being persecuted for their faith, and Jesus tells them that things will get worse.
