True defilement comes from the sinful condition of the human heart, and only Jesus, our perfect physician, can expose and transform it through his grace. Jesus calls us to listen and understand his words, trust his complete payment for our sin, and love him with our whole heart.

The more the Father reveals and gives to us, the more we must, must process this back into treasure, thanksgiving and adoration or else it will harden your theologically correct but hardened soul. We will miss his perfectly timed, beautiful displays of glory, power and love.

As Jesus is encouraging himself and his disciples to rest, he puts his kingship on display through the miraculous provision of resources. The king of endless resource is able to meet the needs of his people in ways that go beyond our limited minds.

The new home of the believer creates new courage that marks our lives to follow and love God with strength and gentleness in the most adverse conditions.

It is a fundamental shape of God’s gospel people to wait for Christ’s return and for the Spirit’s intercession in prayer.

God has given us the priorities of our love and allegiance. But he doesn’t just give us things to do without first equipping us to do them. God makes us worshippers, family, and missionaries by rescuing us, changing us, and giving us a new identity in Christ. God establishes our being before our doing.

Do you know God’s overall priorities for us? To misunderstand or neglect the priorities of God for a person or a church is to be outside his will. And welcome to church… you dont want to be outside the will of this amazing, awe-inspiring God who only gives us what is truly good and best.

Our 2025 Easter Sermon. The King of Kings rose from the dead and promises to raise all who will trust him.  He is the true lover of our souls and sacrificed himself to free us from our sin in both our genuine gilt and its power over us.

It is the way of Jesus to intentionally and repeatedly reach out into the world with unexpected timing, unexpected groups people with unique weakness. Jesus sends out a message that leaves each person in a position of absolute condemnation or repentance into absolute blessing.
