Sermons

The story of David and Goliath is not about encouraging us to try to be like David. It is about Jesus Christ, who born into this sinful, defeated our Goliath and we, the trembling people, can look up to Him and take His victory as our own.

God requires that we follow all of His word, not just pick and choose that follow what we like.

We believe that resurrection happened because historically, scientifically, this is the best explanation for the existence of Christianity.

God created the world good, but humans turned away from God do darkness. When Jesus died, he redeemed his people from the darkness; because the sins of His people were on Jesus, God turned away from Him and the day became dark. When Jesus died, the veil that kept God away from people was torn.

God works to save and bless His people, not because of their efforts and plans because even when we do plan, our plans our terrible. As was the case with the Israelites, God does not save us for our own might or strength but because of His own purpose and strength. Salvation is of the Lord!

Without God's word we guide ourselves to destruction. Saul, the leader of God's people, violated the covenant which requires perfect obedience to receive blessings and hope. After violating this works-based covenant, Saul received what all people who rely on works receive: despair defeat, death. God's gracious promise of being faithful to his faithless people is what sustained Israelites in these desperate times.

Pastor Jared addresses some burning questions in this sermon. Why does God allow suffering? If God is all powerful and all good, why does evil exists? If God loves His people, why do they suffer?

By Christ's obedience, many are made righteous according to the Scriptures. Justification, therefore, is perfectly completed by Christ alone. Many, however, subtly would have us look away from Christ.

Pastor Jared discusses signs of true church, covenant theology. Did Israelites receive salvation by a promise or by keeping the law?
