Mark Booker | Matthew 27:62-28:15 | Easter Sunday | The resurrection of Jesus is a display of the power of God that is for life. Matthew's account shows two responses to this act of God: opposition or embrace. This Easter sermon considers both of these responses and the word of reassurance to those who embrace God's prevailing power: "Do not be afraid."

Mark Booker | Matthew 26:36-27:61 | Becoming Like Jesus | This Palm Sunday sermon considers Jesus as an exemplar of the life grounded in Scripture. Scripture is his anchor throughout his life and especially during his suffering and death. To become like Jesus, to walk on the way of the cross, the way of love, necessitates lives that are grounded in the word of God. This is the sixth and final sermon in a series exploring how we become like Jesus.

Mark Booker | 2 Corinthians 5:14-21 | Becoming Like Jesus | God is a missionary God and he invites us to join him on his mission. From this text in 2 Corinthians 5, we consider the nature of God's mission and what it looks like for us to participate in it. This is the fifth sermon in a series exploring how we become like Jesus.

Mark Booker | Ephesians 4:4-16 | Becoming Like Jesus | Community is essential to becoming like Jesus. In Ephesians 4, Paul paints a picture of the church as a community of unity in diversity that produces maturity. This fourth sermon in the series explores the fact that we belong to and are needed by this community, though we resist and doubt this in various ways.

Mark Booker | John 4:7-26 | Becoming Like Jesus | With this third sermon in the series, we begin looking at four key trajectories in the Christian life which, when taken up together, help us to grow into Christlikeness. We start with worship, considering the biblical understanding of worship in a broad and narrow sense. As we seek to grow in worship, we consider several insights from Jesus's encounter with the woman at the well - as well as Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6 - about what fuels true worship.

Mark Booker | Mark 10:46-52 | Becoming Like Jesus | This is the second sermon in a six-week series that examines the aim or goal of a follower of Jesus. We look at Bartimaeus as a model disciple as he encounters Jesus and follows him on the way. We look examine this way in the context of the gospel according to Mark - the way of the cross, the way of love - and consider how we can walk on it more and more and, in so doing, become like Jesus.

Mark Booker | Acts 10:34-43 | Becoming Like Jesus | As the first sermon in a six-week series, this sermon looks at the gospel that Peter declares in the house of Cornelius. We see that the gospel is about a person (Jesus) in a position (Lord of all) with a particular purpose (peace through forgiveness / reconciliation and renewal). This good news is the foundation of our lives in Christ.

Mark Booker | Leviticus 26:1-26 | God With Us | This concluding sermon in a series on Leviticus considers the covenant blessings and curses of chapter 26. We consider the way of blessing, which is obedience. We also consider the greater blessing promised in verse twelve of this chapter which points beyond the bounds of Leviticus to the work of Jesus and the new creation: God walking among us.

Mark Booker | Leviticus 25:1-24 | God With Us | This sermon considers the year of Jubilee legislation and what it reveals about the heart of God, how it is fulfilled in Jesus, and how it informs our ongoing Christian mission as a mission of both action and declaration.

Mark Booker | Leviticus 24:1-9 | God With Us | With the lampstand and the loaves in the holy place, God gives Israel a picture of his continual presence at the heart of their weekly, Sabbath worship. God's presence was the key to Israel's life, and it pointed toward the expansion of his presence in and through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We consider this fulfillment and think about how we can be more attentive to God's continual presence in our lives.
