King's Cross OKC

October 17, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Lot walks by sight and unbelief and the result is fear in Lot and a legacy of fear that Lot leaves behind. If fear and anxiety are the fruits of unbelief, the fruits of belief are peace and joy. This sermon considers how one can find this peace and joy in, oddly enough, the fear of the Lord.

October 10, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) – Sin disintegrates lives, communities, families, and creation. We see in this passage how Lot’s city and home disintegrate under God’s judgment of Sodom. And yet, in one of the most shocking and scandalous examples of God’s grace, Lot is delivered from Sodom's judgment.

October 3, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Our desire for justice suggests that we want a judging God, and we have one! As this passage shows, we have a Judge who is caring, competent, and merciful.

September 26, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Abraham helps us better understand an important (and often neglected) Christian practice: hospitality. Along with seeing what Christian hospitality looks like, we also consider how we get the resources to be hospitable to others.

September 19, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - God's covenant with Abraham and the sign of circumcision help us to understand both the scope and nature of God's work in Abraham's life, and by extension, our own lives.

September 12, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - We often live life as though God wasn't around - as if God doesn't see us - and this approach brings a host of problems to our lives. Still, God sees us and cares for us much like he pursued and cared for Hagar when on the run from Sarah.

September 5, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The story of Abraham gives a rich picture of the life of faith. In this important passage, we see that biblical faith doubts and waits. God can handle both our doubts and waiting because his promises depend on his faithfulness, not ours.

August 29, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The dramatic rescue of Lot by Abram and the subsequent blessing of Melchizadek give us two pictures of what sin does to a person and two pictures of how a life of faith shapes a person. While sin cuts us off from God and bends us inward, faith enlarges the heart and extends it outward.

August 22, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - We would all like to be more generous toward others and courageous in the face of difficulty. This sermon explores Abram's generosity and courage as he works through conflict with his nephew, Lot. Abram's generosity and courage, like our own, depend upon trust in a caring and generous God.

August 15, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - We see God's grace and faithfulness to his promises even in the midst of Abram's failures (and they are big!). Those struggling with the weight of their own guilt can take comfort that our hope and salvation is not built on our faithfulness to God but rather on God's faithfulness toward us, his people.
