Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on the basics of the Gospel. (4 of 4)
Jesus’ message was “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17b). If the kingdom of heaven is here, where is it? What does it look like? What does it mean to be a citizen of the kingdom of God? In this sermon series we are going to look at the intro to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, otherwise known as the Beatitudes, to try to understand what the kingdom of Jesus is really like. As Russell Moore puts it: “If the kingdom is what Jesus says it is, then that means that what matters isn’t just what we uniquely classify as spiritual. The natural world around us isn’t just a temporary environment; it’s part of our future inheritance in Christ. The underemployed hotel maids that we walk past silently in the hallway aren’t just potential objects of our charity; they are potential queens of the cosmos. Our jobs, whatever they might be, aren’t accidental. The things we do to serve in our local churches aren’t random. God is designing our lives individually and congregationally as internships for the eschaton [when Christ returns]. We are learning in little things how to be put in charge of great things.”

Welcome to the 10th sermon in our series on the attributes of God (10 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 39th sermon in our series on the book of Mark. (39 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.
