Alex Russell leads a Sunday Seminar on the Woke Church.

We consider John's public rebuke of Herod and the church's role in calling rulers to repentance. The church is the pillar and support of the truth and has the duty to bring this truth to bear today, including rulers. We consider common objections and end with 5 practical remarks we learn from the ministry of John in bringing truth to our leaders.

John the Baptist directs his hearers to the main attraction--the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is shown to be great in his power, worth, and authority especially in his act of judgment where he baptizes by the Holy Spirit and fire.

Here is a call to see what Jesus is doing and to turn to him in repentance and faith.

In this sermon, Pastor Tim examines John the Baptist's message of repentance. This is the word he received from God to call people to clear the way to see the coming Christ. The call to repentance is the same call we are commanded to respond to today.

At twelve years of age Jesus had incredible self-awareness. Here he confesses that he is the Son of God and is the Lord's Christ. At the same time, we're reminded that Jesus is human. How this fits together is ultimately beyond our understanding but it absolutely necessary for the gospel. Here is Christ Jesus revealed, our Passover Lamb!

Pastor Tim returns to the gospel of Luke and considers two temple visits while Jesus was a child.

We consider Colossians 3:1-4 and what it means to set your mind on things above. Rather than escapism or dualism, this passage calls us to behold the Lord Jesus and in so doing everything changes. Here is a call to personal and societal reformation: seek God and behold him.

Alex Russell examines the vengeance of God and its application from Romans 12:17-21.

After spending 18 days in prison, Pastor Tim preaches from Matthew 10 and how Christ instructed us to handle adversity and opposition as we live for him and the gospel. The key to remaining faithful in adversity and persecution is to see Christ as worthy. Our loyalty to Christ must eclipse all other loyalties.
