Who is Jesus and what did he do for sinners? Jesus Bore the consequences of our sin as our substitute. 

Does God hear our prayers? I know many of us believe that to be true but we don't live like it's true. Daniel is perplexed and in mourning over sin and God answers him with tender words that reassure him in his distress. 

Two weeks ago we looked at what inspired Daniel to pray in Chapter 9. In this sermon Pastor JT analyzes the content of Daniel's prayer in order to give students a template of true confessional prayer. 

This sermon is on the lost and ignored doctrine of Hell. A light view of hell will produce a light view of God's love and grace. Therefore students must be warned of the consequences of their sin. But is Hell really a just punishment? What is it like? Is Hell even biblical? Pastor JT answers all these questions in this sermon. 

What is Sin? Why do we sin?  and who sins? These three questions are crucial in understanding why Jesus came to earth and died on a cross. Jesus. was. reversing the curse of SIN, which plagues mankind. This sermon is the 3rd sermon in this series and is preached by high school adult leader Nathaniel Martin.

"What a man is in secret, on his knees before God, that he is and no more." - John Owen.

Daniel Chapter 9:1-23 takes break from apocalyptic prophecy to zoom in on the intimate prayer life of Daniel. So looking at verses. 1-3 Pastor JT zooms in on what What Inspires Daniel to pray? What should inspire us to pray? 

In order to understand the Gospel we must first understand the Law. God's Law is summarized in the 10 commandments, which Jesus summarizes in Matthew 22:37-40. Loving God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength and loving our neighbor as our self is what God expects of His creation. Well who has ever done that perfectly? We see then that the Law functions as a mirror that shows us our need for the gospel. 

Daniel 8 is all about a vision of a coming season of suffering for God's people at the hands of a tyrant king named Antiochus Epaphanes. Antiochus embodies the spirit of the AntiChrist (1 John 2:18) by opposing God, eradicating the worship of God, and by crushing God's people. But Why does this matter for us? God is forewarning His people so that they may know and prepare for what is coming. In the same way in John 15:18-16:1-1 Jesus forewarns us of coming persecution. This has many practical implications for how believers today must live for Christ in the 21st century. 

What is the gospel? In this brand new series Pastor JT is attempting to teach the middle school students the most important truths of the Christian faith. The gospel is what separates Christianity from every other worldview or religion in the world. Our hope is that students would receive Christ by faith and be equipped to share their faith boldly with their friends. 

Are we in the Last Days? Is God really in control of what is going on? Daniel 7 is the most important chapter in all of Daniel and one of the most confusing to interpret. In this Sermon Pastor JT explains how this chapter is meant to comfort and encourage God's people in their conflict with the world.
