God had placed Esther at the right place at the right time. He’s done the same for you. Will you answer the call? This is a sermon that examines the place of your purpose, the threat on your purpose, and the power that powers your purpose. This sermon takes a hard look at the purpose God places onto the lives of his people and the purpose God has fulfilled for his people through his Son.

There is a whole lot more ambiguity in life than we often like to admit to ourselves. This can be especially hard for Christians who want to live lives of light for the Lord. When you live in Persia though… sometimes there are you in the mud of it all. This is a sermon that seeks to show a biblical and Christ-centered path forward in situations that seem painfully ambiguous.

We begin our journey into the book of Esther. We look at this Persian King. We get a look at the marginalization of Christians. We think about ways in which we might be tempted to enter the world of Xerxes badly and one true way we might be able to enter seeing Jesus as The True King.

What does it look like to be a lost person? In this story Jesus describes lostness in a way that few people expect. It’s surprising. Listen in to hear the real focus of Jesus’ teaching in the famous parable of The Prodigal Son. And, more than that, hear and believe the Father’s invitation to come to the party.

In this story called the Prodigal Son, Jesus puts the heart into the heart of the gospel. He does more than say that we are welcome to the Father in his name. He describes it. Listen in to this sermon as it makes clear what the gospel really is.

This sermon begins a three-part sermon series based on Jesus’ parables in Luke 15. They represent the heart and core of what Luke wants to teach us about Jesus. This sermon lays the basic framework of Jesus’ teaching and finally asks the listener to imagine themselves as sheep hoisted onto the shoulders of Jesus.

What is the truly winning life? Is it winning your own little piece of this world? What is the life that overcomes the world? This sermon answers those questions pointing the listener to the life of God in the Holy Trinity

There’s a powerful image in this verse of an immovable person. You can just see it. There is this person Paul describes who stands their ground while hurricane level winds attempt to pry them loose from their secure position. There is, however, a great Christian irony that often comes attached to that image. This sermon examines that irony and seeks to leave the listener standing firmer than ever before.
