Many people embrace Jesus as a great man and moral teacher while denying His deity... But to deny the deity of Christ is to deny a core truth of the Gospel. In this message, Pastor Jesse walks us through the theology of the deity of Christ. You'll see how Scripture clearly points to His divinity. And you'll see why it's important to worship Him as divine.

God never hurries and never runs out of time... In fact, He meticulously orders every minuscule event of life to happen at just the perfect moment, according to His timeline. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Luke 1:18-25, where we see events surrounding John the Baptist's conception happening according to God's perfect timing. You'll see faithful Zechariah's lapse into mistrust, and what that lapse costs him. And ultimately, you'll see that God is a gracious, faithful God who remembers.

What someone believes about Christ is absolutely paramount. In this message, Pastor Jesse introduces us to the concept of Christology, beginning with a study on the pre-existence of Christ. Discover the New Testament's teaching on the existence of Christ in all of time. Discover also the significance of the "angel of the Lord" in the Old Testament, and how this relates to Christ before His birth into humanity. In all of this, discover more of the Christ whom you love and worship - so that you can love and worship Him more.

400 years of silence, now broken... As Zechariah the Priest goes into the Temple for his once-in-a-lifetime experience of offering the incense, he is startled by an angelic messenger - a messenger who brings him good news. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Luke 1:13-17, where we see Zechariah's encounter with this angel. And we hear the announcement about the coming birth of the one who would be the forerunner to Christ Himself. Discover the greatness of the prophesied messenger who will point people not to his own greatness, but to the One who comes after him. And be encouraged to humbly worship Him yourself.

The moment has come to face death. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Esther chapter 5, in which Esther must risk her life to come before the king so that she can plead on behalf of her people. And we see again that though God is not mentioned in the account, His hand is clearly at work, both in the circumstances and in the king's heart. See the providence of God come through for His people - and worship Him in reverent trust.

If Jesus had never been born... Society, culture, science, education, and religious life would look totally different. The world would be a darker place with a hopeless cycle of works-based righteousness that could never earn us favor before God. But Jesus did come to save sinners - and His story begins with His forerunner John the Baptist's parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse unpacks Luke 1:8-12. Here Zechariah the priest is chosen to come serve in the temple, and there he encounters something he would never forget. Listen, and grow in deeper awe of the Holy One who holds sovereign control of all things. And grow in your trust of Him.

Can you imagine the uproar that would result from a decree that everyone of a certain ethnicity was to be executed? That's the situation in which Mordecai and Esther found themselves. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Esther chapter 4, where we see Mordecai's grief over the king's murderous edict and his attempts to persuade Esther to risk her life on behalf of her people. Discover how in the providence of God, there are no coincidences - and how, just like with Esther, He has placed you where you are, for such a time as this.

With the birth of Jesus a whole new era was beginning. There was hope - and a forerunner to that hope. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Luke 1:5-7, introducing us to two key figures: John the Baptist's parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth. Here we see how the Dawn began to break in the drudgery and disappointment of the lives of these two faithful individuals, whose lives are a model for us to follow. And in an act of Mother's Day providence, we receive encouragement on how to deal with the pain of childlessness.

We tend to take basic things for granted: things like running water, central heating, and electric lights. And on a deeper level, we can have that same unfortunate tendency with the Gospel. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through the opening verses of Luke. Here we unpack how Luke introduces his Gospel message. You'll see the care in which Luke investigates the events surrounding Christ's ministry. And ultimately, you'll be reminded of the vital importance of the Gospel message for your own life.

Esther 2-3 recounts a dark time in Israel's history. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Esther. 2:19-3:11. Here we see the Hitler-esque vendetta of the wicked Agagite Haman as he seeks to exterminate the Jewish people. But in the midst of the evil scheming, you'll be reminded of one important truth... The Lord is still in control of it all. And His purposes will prevail.
