  • Don't give up on the Bible

    02/06/2025 Duración: 26min

    For someone who takes the time to investigate the issues related to the Bible, they will likely discover hundreds of questions and problems. There are reasonable answers for many of these questions. The real question is, what is the Bible? Is it data or information? Is it a rule book? if it is these things, it will disappoint us. But if it is something more.... a sermon on June 1st, 2025

  • Can we believe the Bible?

    26/05/2025 Duración: 29min

  • Why does Christianity ruin all the fun?

    19/05/2025 Duración: 25min

    A common problem with Christianity is that it ruins the fun in people's lives. Whether intentional or not, it becomes something of a "straitjacket" that people simply have to put up with.

  • Acts Answers: Is Christianity Good?

    05/05/2025 Duración: 28min

    There are plenty of arguments that Christianity does good things in the world. See Confronting Christianity or Alvin Schmidt How Christianity Changed the World. But Jesus doesn't say Christianity is good because it makes the world a better place or because people do good things because of Christianity. Rather, he says Christianity is good because Jesus died and rose. A sermon on Acts 9:1-22 on May 4, 2025

  • Real Easter:

    21/04/2025 Duración: 24min

    Peeps. Crème filled eggs. Chocolate. Bunnies. Chicks. Lambs. Lilies. Tulips. Daffodils. They’re all fun things that are part of spring. But they actually take us back to the real Easter. While the religions of the East speak of dissolving into the ocean of being, and while Islam and the Christian cults portray an otherworldly future, the Bible promises resurrection. This is different. It’s this life laid hold of and turned around. Resurrection is Jesus taking us through the valley of the shadow and out into a happily ever after, complete with best wedding ever. Without Jesus, life ends with a funeral. With him, there is a never-ending feast. A sermon on Easter Sunday April 20th, 2025

  • Renewed by repentance

    18/04/2025 Duración: 16min

  • Tell the truth about yourself and others - the 8th Commandment

    07/04/2025 Duración: 24min

    Do we really know ourselves well enough to tell the truth? Death and resurrection can firmly ground us and give us a place to build from. Sermon on April 6th, 2025 on the 8th Commandment

  • Christians construct and create, we don't consume - The 7th Commandment

    02/04/2025 Duración: 31min

    We've been convinced that consumption is the way of life. It is a spiritual practice that fills our souls. The 7th Commandment points us to a different way. We stop living off the backs of others and consuming everything we can get, and start constructing lives. A sermon on the 7th Commandment on March 30, 2025.

  • How to steward our sexuality - 6th Commandment part 2

    25/03/2025 Duración: 21min

    If sexuality is something sacred to be stewarded, how do we steward it? How do we manage it and care for it and let it be something that leads to flourishing? We have to begin by not just expressing our sexuality. A sermon on the 6th Commandment, March 23, 2025

    17/03/2025 Duración: 31min

  • "Honor your father and mother" - the 4th Commandment and authority

    11/03/2025 Duración: 20min

    To modern ears, "honor your father and mother" and it's implications sound crazy. 'I owe someone respect not because of their accomplishments or their status?" That's what the gospel wants from us because Jesus gave up his authority. We can respect people who stand in God's place. A sermon on the 4th Commandment, March 9th, 2025

  • Reflections on Repentance: Do we need it?

    06/03/2025 Duración: 15min

    There are a lot of questions to ask about repentance. One place to start: do we even need it? Do we need to practice repentance? This isn't a great answer, but part of the answer comes from the Great King David. He models repentance in Psalm 51.

  • The gospel is the glory

    03/03/2025 Duración: 24min

    Have we lost glory as we've closed down our world? How has that hurt us? Let's reclaim glory for our lives. Sermon on Luke 9:28-36

  • You have declared worth

    17/02/2025 Duración: 25min

    We've got a lot of different games and rules that we can play to prove our worth and value. There were at least two specific ones in the Bible - ethnicity and obedience. Those are still popular today. Jesus sets up a different system in the sermon on the plain, one were we can still get a win. Luke 6:17-26 on February 16th, 2025

  • Jesus wants sinners

    10/02/2025 Duración: 19min

    We rarely feel wanted in life. It turns out that a lot of people aren't actually wanted in life. It makes sense that we wouldn't feel wanted. It's quite rare. It testifies to the fact that we are sinners. But Jesus wants sinners. A sermon on Luke 5:1-11, February 9 2025

  • Beliefs and behaviors

    03/02/2025 Duración: 23min

  • Rejected receive acceptance

    19/01/2025 Duración: 23min

    We've all been rejected at some point. We were all rejected from Eden, our eternal home. But Jesus was kicked out of his hometown so he could make us the favorites. We are the chosen. We are the outsiders he has made insiders. A sermon on January 19, 2025 based on Luke 4:14-30.
