Welcome to the 9th sermon in our series on the 10 Commandments (9 of 11).
Perhaps no set of rules or laws are more better known, more widely used, more foundational than the 10 Commandments. But are these just a set of rules or laws? Are these just good morals by which we should all live? Are they obvious to human nature...or do they reveal more? A Divine order, perhaps? If humans were trying to create a god, is the one revealed in the 10 Commandments the one we would come up with? Are they still even relevant to us?
This fall, we are going to take a walk through the 10 Commandments and see the nature of the Law, the nature of God and our only hope of redemption. Our hope is not to see just a set of morals by which we should live, but to find grace in the One who met every requirement and calls us to follow Him. If you’ve fought the Law and the Law won, you’re at the perfect place for the grace of Jesus.

Welcome to the 7th sermon in our series on the Psalms of Ascent (7 of 16).
“The essential thing ‘in heaven and earth’ is...that there should be long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
We are going to spend this summer in the “Songs of Ascent” (Psalms 120-134). Through these songs, we are going to remember and walk along the Way that leads to salvation. We will remember, walk together, and sing of the greatness of our God. He will guide us; He will commune with us; He will refine us; He will call us to repentance and trust...and we will follow...the long path of obedience.
“Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way...”

Welcome to the 5th sermon in our series on the attributes of God (5 of 10).
We are going to spend this summer beholding who our God is and what he is like, looking at the attributes of God through the lens of Exodus 33 & 34. When we refer to the attributes of God, we are not talking in a cold or rigid or philosophical way, dissecting God into little parts so that we can understand him. God is SO big, SO beyond us that he doesn’t fit into human categories. Instead, we will be admiring the attributes of God through the hunger that he has put in us to seek him out and to know him. As the Westminster Catechism states, “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever. Join us in exploring some aspects of God that make him more than worthy of all glory.

Welcome to the 28th sermon in our series on the book of Mark. (28 of 60)
There are many people, not just Christians, who would put Jesus at the top of a list of most influential people in the world. If you were to also make a list of people who have claimed to be God, Jesus would be the only person on both lists. Everyone else who has claimed to be God has been dismissed by history as false. We are going to spend this sermon series looking at how Jesus was presented in the gospel of Mark. Mark is very to the point. He leaves very little doubt as to who Jesus is. Mark presents Jesus as King and then leaves us to deal with that truth.

Welcome to the 6th sermon in our series on Christian mission. (6 of 6)
Have you ever started telling a story and then gotten halfway through it and completely and totally forgotten the point of the story you were telling? When it comes to the idea of Christian mission, it is easy for us to forget the point of the story. We often start substituting our own preferences and using Christian language to support our own goals. In this series we are going to look at what it should look like to be on mission as a Christian. A mission is basically showing and telling a story. As followers of Jesus we have a beautiful, new, better story. But it is critical that we remember the point of the story, remember our place in the story, and not get caught up in competing narratives. The mission of a Christian is about telling God’s story. That somehow, some way, miraculously we have gotten caught up into His story.

Welcome to the 5th sermon in our series on what we should worship. (5 of 5)
Human beings are designed to be filled with awe. We are designed as worshipers. Think of the sense of amazement and peace that comes from standing on top of a mountain range or watching the sun set over the ocean. We are created and designed to worship God as he is, as he has revealed himself through what he has done in time and history. We are designed for a relationship with God that is fulfilled through us, as his creation, worshiping and standing in awe of him.
The biggest problem throughout Scripture, literally from the garden, is when people in general, but especially the people of God, turn away from him and start worshiping something other than God as god. When we place our trust in anything less than God himself, this is called idolatry. In this series on the Idols of the Heart we are going to be looking at where we all too often misplace our worship and refocus on what we are created and designed to do: to worship and be in awe of God himself.
