Apathy and indifference, cold-heartedness and lack of passion will stifle the work of God in one's life. God's desire is to renew his people "day by day," not just once a year. But experiencing God's daily renewal requires some things. In this sermon, we explore the truth that renewal requires receiving the love of the Father, the work of the Son, and the gift of the Spirit.

Advent is a season of anticipation for the coming of Jesus and in this sermon, we look at Luke's account of the Christmas story. While the story is familiar it's a story that is meant to leave us in wonder and awe. It is in the incarnation we see that God is more humble than we think.

Advent is a season of anticipation for the coming of Jesus. In Exodus 34, God's self-description answers the question: What is God Like? This story reminds us that God is more merciful than we think and points us to the incarnation of Jesus.

Advent is a season of waiting and anticipation for the coming of Christ. In Exodus 3, God appears to Moses and reveals his personal covenant name. This story reminds us that God is more personal than we think... and points us to the incarnation of Jesus.

Jesus came to show us what God is like. But the coming of Jesus, in his lowly incarnation & birth at Christmastime, was the fulfillment of what the Scriptures had been saying for centuries. At key moments in the OT, God revealed to his people what he was like. “But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son” (Hebrews 1:2). In this series, we want to explore three OT stories where God reveals his character and purposes, and then see how these moments help us understand the revelation of God in Jesus.

Advent stands at the beginning of the church calendar as a season of waiting and anticipation for the coming of Christ. To begin Advent, we explore Genesis 28, a story that reminds us that God is more present than we think, and invites us to see and recognize that "surely God is in this place."

After the rebellion at Babel, the question stands: How will God respond, and how will His plan move forward? In a surprising turn of events, God calls a barren couple to leave what is familiar and to trust in His provision. From Genesis 12 forward, the story of redemption and blessing unfolds, a story each human being is invited into.

Human beings generally agree something is wrong with the world. The world needs to be saved. The disagreement lies behind why the world is ruined and what can be done to save it. Genesis 10-11 demonstrate that the world needs saving, humanity’s attempts are frivolous, and only God’s plan is the adequate solution.

The story of Noah is one of the most beloved stories in the Bible. When we read it, we often think of Noah as the hero of the story. But even Noah fails to be the righteous leader God's people need. After the flood waters recede, Noah has his own Fall, in his own garden, recapitulating the tragedy of Adam and Eve. The flood story, taken as a whole, reminds readers: God is the hero, not Noah.

The story of the flood taps into a key biblical theme: salvation through judgment. As humans continue to sin and wickedness and evil run rampant, God, in his goodness, acts. The flood is a reminder that God judges sin, but the story of the flood and the preservation of Noah, also demonstrates God seeks to save.
