It’s an X and an R. It looks like a P, but this is the word for Christ. The first two letters is C-H. Even you see the symbol here, the IHS. It’s Latin taken from Greek, and it’s just the first three letters of Jesus and the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The church has used colors from the beginning because the Lord has instruct…

In tonight's study, we paused with Paul in Ephesians 3. As he takes a moment to reflect on his divine calling to the Ephesians, and then to pray for them, we're invited to learn from this example prayer.

As a church intern, I saw something firsthand. A family had taken on a high niche child. I can’t remember if it was a foster adoption, something to that degree. The wife particularly had asked, maybe demanded a lot of help from others in the church. Several families had come together and brought meals. They arranged for extra care, and they really …

"Finding Lasting Peace" As we consider Matthew 11:25–30, we are confronted with the wisdom of the Father, and the dominion of the Son. In Their gracious lordship, we find our peace and the rest promised to the blessed of the Lord.

The people quarrel and the Lord responds. Not much ink is dedicated to this profound moment and yet it is pivotal, referenced in the Gospels, the Psalms, and in Hebrews. Join us as we discuss this crucial moment in Israel's history.

So today’s a topical message, looking at a component of biblical Anthropology. It’s a fancy way of saying we’re going to talk about our feelings today. It applies to everyone who’s still breathing. Sometimes we think of these types of conversations and it’s like, Oh, not one of those. But again, the reason for it is this affects all of us. There’s …

Wrath is real. Repentance is required. The Lord's patience with us is not a dismissal of our sin. Now is the time to take these truths seriously.

The people of God find themselves in the wilderness, wholly dependant on the Lord for their daily bread. He provides through manna and quail and, in the process, reminds the people (and His people today) that one day in seven has been set aside to Him. The people are no longer slaves in Egypt and they are reminded, through gracious provision, that …

Psalm 1:19. Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we ask that you would remember your word to us, your servants, and that it would be that in which you have made us hope. That it would be a comfort in our affliction, that your promises would give us life. That when we think of your rules from of old, that we would take comfort, O Lord. Lord, that your stat…

In the second half of Ephesians 2 Paul turns to consider how our common share in God’s riches through Christ tells us how we relate to one another in one body. In this rich paragraph he demolishes any other notion of lasting unity, showing how an eternal unity between believers has been forged through the cross. An important message to consider in …

Matthew 11:1–19 Disappointment is no stranger to the Christian life, and sometimes, at the root, we find ourselves disappointed when what we expected from the Lord is not what comes to pass. This morning we take a look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:1–19, generated by John the Baptist’s disappointment and confusion. Join us as we are challenged once…

Join us as we consider Moses’ song in Exodus 15 and the beginning of the journey from the Red Sea to Mount Sinai. As we zoom out from the passage we also consider how the Old Testament consistently borrows elements of a pagan worldview—only to subvert them and portray the Lord’s power and dominion. We also venture into a description of the latter h…

Let us pray. Father, we do ask that your steadfast love would come to us, Lord, that your salvation would be according to your promise. Then we shall have an answer for those who taunt us, for we will trust in your word. Lord, take not the word of truth utterly out of our mouths, for our hope is in your rules. We desire to keep your law continually…

Join us as we consider "works" and their place in the Christian life. We are encouraged with the reality that they are an "end" and not a means. We are NOT called to trust in our grip on Christ, but rather to trust in His grip on us.

We look through the reading of God’s word. If you would please join me in prayer. Blessed, trying Lord in your great and kind providence, all holy scriptures were written …

In this captivating Sunday School session, we consider the dramatic narrative of Exodus 13:17 – 14, where the Israelites, having left Egypt, begin their journey to the Promised Land. We discuss the significance of the pillars of cloud and fire that accompany the Israelites. They are meant to remind us of an earlier covenant and the faithfulness of …
