"A sated man loathes honey, but to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet." How quickly people who are filled up with good things can lose their appetites - both for physical honey, and for the honey of God's spiritual blessings. Listen in as we consider the problem, and the solutions, together.

Jesus' third saying from the cross is unique. In it, He speaks, not directly about matters of suffering, death, and salvation, but about the kinds of family concerns that we will all have when our time comes to die. Yet there is a great deal to learn from Jesus' words of concern for His mother's welfare - even regarding our salvation. Listen in!

We are amazed at the thief on the cross, and the eleventh hour timing of his salvation. And well we should be! But even more amazing than God saving a sinner at the last moment, is that God should save a sinner at all! Meditate on these thoughts and more as we consider Jesus' second saying from the cross.

Dying words are important words. How eager we are to remember the last thing a loved one said before he died! And how much more eager to remember and relish the final words of Jesus as He gave up His spirit. In this sermon, we look at the first of Jesus' seven sayings, spoken from the cross. Listen in and treasure them with us.

The New Year is an ideal time for making fresh starts ... and many of us look forward to January 1 for precisely that reason! We love the opportunity to start over, and perhaps get it right this tike around. But that longing to hit the reset button is actually a longing for something deeper - for the coming of Christ, when God will fully and finally make all things new! Listen in as we think about how He will do so.

The biblical accounts of Christ's birth are filled with wonderful, instructive, and even quaint detail about all manner of things and people - shepherds, magi, mangers, sheep, angels, and so on. But what does the Nativity narrative teach us about the Child Himself? Matthew 1 presents three marvelous answers. Listen in as we consider them together!

Who is the most overlooked character in the accounts of our Lord's nativity? Perhaps it's Joseph. He has no speaking parts in either Luke or Matthew's accounts. He brings no lavish gifts, like the wisemen. He is just quietly faithful ... both to God and to Mary. But it is precisely because of his quiet faithfulness that he is noteworthy! Listen in as we consider this marvelous, faithful man.
