In this Good Friday sermon, Tony answers the question “why was the cross necessary?” If the punishment is supposed to fit the crime - what was so awful to call for this sort of barbaric death?

Tony continues in the story that is known as The Prodigal Son. This is part 2 and Tony begins in the Song of Solomon!

It is the parable of the prodigal son. Tony says that next to the cross of Christ, there is no clearer picture of the “love that God is” in all of scripture.

This week Ryan and Jazira Boyette are with us and share their story of enduring and exposing the war in Sudan and their mission to bring Christ-centered education to the Nuba Mountains and beyond.

In this sermon Tony returns to the parable of the lost sheep and lost coin. This time he brings in some perspective from history and how these parables were heard with 1st century, middle eastern ears.

In this sermon, Jonathan speaks to the heart of serving. He takes us to Psalm 84 to show that the pathway to prefer lowly service to the church over everything this world has to offer is one of experiencing and longing for the presence and person of the living God.

If we want to love the people in our lives well, it must flow out of our love for Jesus. We share the Gospel and share our lives. This is especially true of our children! Jesus loved them and expects us to as well!

In this message Tony begins Luke 15 - one of the most beautiful chapters in all of the Bible for seeing the powerful, loving, compassionate heart of our God.

Sometimes Jesus gave beautiful, attracting, promises when He called people to Himself. Other times Jesus called for a life of denial, surrender, renouncing and cross bearing. In our text in Luke today Jesus makes clear the high, sacrificial, life reordering that must happen if you are to come to Him.

As Tony takes us back to his series in Luke, we look at one scene, a snapshot, in the life of Jesus. He is attending a sabbath dinner party at a pharisee’s house. And He doesn’t just heal a man with dropsy but describes life in the kingdom of God.
