First Church Sermons

What does true north look like when it comes to money and possessions? In this message from Luke 16, Pastor Bob dives into Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus — a story that's often avoided because it hits close to home. Teaching the Pharisees who "loved money," Jesus paints a vivid picture of a wealthy man who ignores the beggar at his gate, and the eternal reversal that follows.

Matt Petitt returns to First Church where he grew up, got baptized, and preached his very first sermon — and shares a message working through Matthew 1:21-23 where he unpacks the announcement of Jesus' birth and points to one central truth: God's goal was never just to give us answers, but to give us Himself — Emmanuel, God with us.

Colossians often gets overlooked next to the other prison epistles — but it's packed with treasure. In this message, Pastor Tag walks through Colossians 3:1-4 and unpacks three life-changing truths for every believer in Christ: Raised Up With Christ, Keep Seeking the Things Above and Hidden With Christ.

This today’s message, Pastor Tag preaches from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians where he discusses being transformed into the image of Jesus Christ from glory to glory. Turn to 2 Corinthians 3 and listen with us.

"Therefore" is a powerful word, especially when it comes to the Gospel message. Paul spends the first seven chapters of Romans discussing humanity's problem - sin - and then provides hope so desperately needed in chapter 8. Pastor Tag unpacks Romans 8:1-3 and the hope we have IN Christ.
