Genesis 20-21 | The Blessing | Trent Hunter

Abraham was a man of faith. He was also a man who did some terribly stupid things. He looked to a better country, yes, as Hebrews tells us. He also looked out for himself a good bit. In this sermon we see God’s grace come to a man who needed grace. And that’s the point.

Genesis 3:1-21 | The Mission of God | Mark Vowels

Genesis 18:16-19:38 | The Blessing | Trent Hunter

Some places are remembered for their contribution to the world. Ancient Rome would be an example. Sodom and Gomorrah are infamous for their demise. The tale is sobering, and yet more bearable than the judgment promised by Jesus in the days to come (Matt. 10:15). Thankfully, there is good news here greater than this judgment.

Genesis 18:1-15 | The Blessing | Trent Hunter

Is anything too hard for the Lord? No. If we know the Lord we know that. But is that always easy to believe? We know that the Lord doesn’t have to deliver on everything we might ask from him. But will he deliver on everything he has actually promised? We may laugh to ourselves at the thought. Sarah knew that feeling.

Genesis 17 | The Blessing | Trent Hunter

Our relationships with great and powerful people are mostly transactional. If it’s a political leader, we get their leadership in exchange for our vote. If it’s a CEO, we get their expert direction in exchange for our diligent work. What could God Almighty want with us? What could he possibly want from us? This passage is about circumcision, and that’s part of the answer.

Psalm 118 | The Psalms, Jesus, and You | Abe Stratton

Life can be crushing; difficulties and anxieties surround us and press in on us. But Psalm 118 reminds us that the God who set his love on his people will not let them be destroyed. In unexpected ways he provides a way out. This will be our final sermon in our short series, The Psalms, Jesus, and You.

Psalm 45 | The Psalms, Jesus, and You | Abe Stratton

The beauty of the Psalms is that they capture so many of our human emotions. As we hurt, as we walk through darkness, as we grieve, as we are angry, these God-given texts give expression to our deepest pains. However, they also provide us with expressions of unbounded celebration and joy. They pull our eyes and hearts up and remind us of the glories which are real and which are coming. Through this sermon we get to participate in a wedding celebration—a Psalm so full of beauty and light and festivity that we can’t help but join in.

Psalm 22 | The Psalms, Jesus, and You | Dan Cruver | 

The worst possible experience that anyone can ever face is God-forsakenness. Ever since Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, humanity has been profoundly haunted by the sense of being forsaken by God. Even as Christians, from time-to-time (sometimes often), we struggle with the feeling that we have been abandoned by God, that God has left us to fend for ourselves. What are we to do when that is our experience?

Psalm 16 | The Psalms, Jesus, and You | Dan Cruver

Being confident in God’s goodness to us is not as easy as it may seem. Entertaining doubt about the goodness of God ultimately led to Adam and Eve’s sin in the Garden of Eden, and this doubt continues to plague us. If we are not confident in God’s goodness, our circumstances will toss us to-and-fro and faithful Christian living becomes impossible. Listen in as we look at Psalm 16, a psalm of supreme confidence in the goodness of God in life and in death.
