He Came to Serve

How to Inherit Eternal Life
March 7, 2021
Here in Mark 10, Jesus invites us to consider his answer to an all-important question: What must we do to inherit eternal life? Through Jesus' interactions with this rich young man (and then with his disciples afterwards), we gain insight into both the path and the promise of eternal life.
Mark
A Wide View of Ministry
February 28, 2021
The disciples continue to show their blindness when it comes to understanding Jesus and his mission. In this passage, their blindness has to do with their view of ministry. They have a really narrow view of God’s work in the world, so Jesus has to expand their vision. And he intends to expand our vision too.
Psalms
God Is Our Refuge and Strength
February 21, 2021
During uncertain and unstable times, the thing we need most is to be reminded of God. This psalm is thoroughly God-centered, and each stanza points us to something particular about him. When it feels like the world is falling apart, he’s our only hope.
Mark
How to Be Great
February 7, 2021
Jesus does not correct our desire to be great. He corrects our definition of greatness. We dream of praise and increase, but the greatness of Jesus is found in humility and sacrifice.
Mark
Help My Unbelief
January 31, 2021
On the Mount of Transfiguration, we learned that the authoritative power of God is found in Jesus. As we come down from the mountain top along with the disciples in Mark 9, we are faced with an important question: How do we experience that power in our own lives?
Mark
A Glimpse of Glory
January 24, 2021
The disciples want to be associated with the glory of the Christ, but they don’t understand what true glory is. So, Jesus gives a glimpse of his glory; to show more clearly who he is and to give every disciple assurance in following him.
Mark
Following Jesus
January 17, 2021
Jesus inquires: “Who do you say the I am?” And then he invites: "If anyone would come after me..." The order is important because your view of Jesus determines what you think it means to follow him.
Mark
The Second Touch
January 10, 2021
When Jesus heals this particular blind man in the way that he does, he's not just healing, he’s teaching. Meaning, it’s not just a miracle, it’s a parable. It’s an account of something that actually happened. But there’s meaning for us in what happens.

God-Centered Happiness

There is a way to be happy in this world – truly happy – and Psalm 1 tells us how to become that kind of person.

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
December 28, 2025
Psalm 62 calls us to trust in God alone—resting in his character and relying on him at all times. Though we often place our trust in ourselves, others, or wealth, Jesus perfectly trusted the Father and delivers us from self-reliance.

I Came to Testify to the Truth
December 21, 2025
In this Advent sermon from John 18:33–38, Jesus declares the purpose of his birth: to bear witness to it. Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises and the truth that stands over every moment of our lives.

I Came to Do the Will of the Father
December 14, 2025
What happened on that very first Christmas gave us more than a heartwarming story. What happened on that first Christmas changed the world. Because Jesus came to accomplish the very will of God for the world.
John
I Have Come As Light
December 7, 2025
Jesus came as light because the world is in darkness. Humanity is in hiding, rebelling against God, but the light has come. Darkness is not inevitable. Cynicism is not final. Anyone who believes in Jesus is rescued from darkness.
John
I Came That They May Have Life
November 30, 2025
Advent is season celebrating the coming of Jesus and longing for him to come again. And we learn a lot about why Jesus came from what he reveals about himself. In this passage, he tells us who he is, what he came to do, and how he did it.
James
Bring Back the Wanderer
November 23, 2025
We are all capable of drifting from God and community, so we must watch out for one another. We are all responsible to bring back the wanderer. When we do this, we join the work of the good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to go after the one.
James
Faith and Prayer
November 16, 2025
As James closes his letter, the number one thing on his mind is prayer. Which makes sense, because prayer might be the main application of everything he’s been writing. True faith expresses itself through prayer.

Establish Your Heart in the End of the Story
November 10, 2025
James calls us to be long-suffering—to endure injustice, pain, and grief without losing hope. That kind of patience doesn’t come from calm apps or techniques; it comes from knowing how the story ends.

Money Talks
November 2, 2025
Money is persuasive. It can be used for tremendous good, but it can also misused. This warning about hoarding, withholding, and indulging points us to the joy of giving.

Who Belongs at the Table?
September 13, 2020
The gospel is not only the gateway to our life with God. It is also the pathway for our life with him. We are prone to add other things that give us a sense of assurance or belonging, but Jesus plus anything else is a false gospel.
Luke
Our Comfort and Redemption
January 2, 2022
We are made to be satisfied with God, but we are constantly looking elsewhere. Simeon and Anna show us a better way: look to Jesus and wait for him. Wherever you are in life, be ready to welcome his presence. Take hold of him and rejoice, for he is our comfort and redemption.

The Glory of God and the Good of Others
January 22, 2023
As Paul comes to the end of his long answer to the question of food offered to idols, he addresses some less-clear scenarios the Corinthians might have found themselves in. How should they navigate the gray areas of the Christian life? And how should we?
Matthew
At Home With God
May 7, 2017
Sex is good, but it is not a good god. Our culture says, “go for it,” and the church often says, “wait for it.” Both views suggest that “it” is the goal – a loving relationship with good sex. The Bible paints a different picture: the goal is God!

Deliverance from Fear
June 2, 2019
David was a man after God’s own heart, yet he had deep flaws and committed grievous sin. The point of his story is to lead us to the true and better King who delivers us from our sin and ushers in the kingdom of God.

Wisdom From the Spirit
September 11, 2022
Popular thought is that wisdom is self-gained. If you work hard enough, if you get enough knowledge and experience, if you develop enough skill, you will become a wise person. But in 1 Corinthians 2, the apostle Paul flips this notion on its head. He challenges our definition of wisdom and points us to this truth: true wisdom is something you have to receive.
