Sunday Worship
April 20th, 2025

“The Agenda of The Risen King”
John 20: 24-29
Rev. Tyler Dirks

Sermon Audio

Sermon Outline:
Keeps Sinners On The Team
Keeps Scars Of Crucifixion
Keeps Saying “Live By Faith”
Reflection Questions:
Read Luke 24:10-11. Considering the fact that the Marys and Joanna believe in the resurrection, and the apostles don’t, how do you feel about the fact that the apostles remain apostles (as opposed to being dismissed and replaced)?
Read “How To Stay Married”, by Harrison Scott Key. How do you feel about the fact that Harrison kept Lauren on the team, even though she repeatedly befouled the relationship?
Why does Jesus retain His scars of crucifixion?
How does the centrality of the crucifixion (see 1 Cor. 2:2; Gal. 6:14; Heb. 12:2) produce true confidence?

Rev. Tyler Dirks

Sermon Audio

Sermon Outline:
All Up In Your Business
Action Items
Reflection Questions:
How do you feel about the fact that Nehemiah is grossly offending distinguished leaders (nobility and spiritual fathers) in this chapter? How do you feel about the fact that Jesus said really offensive things to venerable spiritual fathers and leaders? (see John 8:44 and all of Matthew 23).
Have you ever tried to have a difficult and direct conversation with a patriarch or matriarch or an authority figure? Were they open to having an honest conversation (like God is all throughout the Psalms)? Or did they get offended and refuse to talk?
How do you feel about Nehemiah’s conduct in this chapter? Do you think he’s being a bit extreme? Why or why not?
What is something you feel really protective of? Why do you feel so strongly about this thing?
In Matthew 25 Jesus talks about entering the joy of your Master. How have you thoroughly experienced the JOY of God?

“Dealing With Problems”
Nehemiah 13:1-14
Rev. Tyler Dirks

Sermon Audio

Sermon Outline:
Discerning The Problem
Deceitfully vs. Definitely
Drama & Dependence
Reflection Questions:
Why didn’t God end the story of Nehemiah in chapter 12? In other words, why not end on a high note of celebration and communal unity and support? Why offer this 13th chapter/epilogue telling us of domestic drama and dysfunction?
Read Numbers 22-24. Based on this account, would you think that Balaam is a bad guy?
Imaginatively immerse yourself in the context of Jerusalem in the days of Eliashib and Nehemiah, and honestly ask yourself, “Who’s right (Eliashib or Nehemiah)? Is Eliashib actually evil for aiding and abetting Tobiah? Or is Nehemiah falsely accusing Eliashib?
How have you sought solutions via politicking and playing the popularity contest?
What do you think about Nehemiah’s decision to ruin everything Eliashib has worked for by evicting Tobiah?
When was a time you definitively confronted someone? How did that go?

Titus 2:11-14
Rev. Tennant Brastow

Sermon Audio

Sermon Outline:
Grace Transforms Us
Grace Trains Us
Reflection Questions:
Have you ever considered how astounding it is that Titus found anyone qualified to be an elder on the island of Crete (given their reputation in Titus 1:7)? If God’s grace can transform and train the Cretans, how does that encourage you?
Can you think of any practical ways over your Christian life that God’s grace has trained you to live a more self-controlled (relationship to self), upright (relationship to others), and/or godly life (relationship to God)?
How has looking ahead to Christ’s return and/or looking back to Christ’s sacrifice brought encouragement to your soul this week?

As you survey the story of King David, when would you say he was MOST a man after God’s own heart?
What scenes in Scripture underscore God’s emphasis on forgiving sins?
Read 1 Timothy 1:15, and 1 Corinthians 2:2, and John 4:29, and Mark 14:3-9, and Hebrews 12:1-2. What are three applications, and or take-aways, based on these verses?
