You can defend Bible doctrine to the death and live ethically pure and persevere. But if your love for God has grown cold, the rest matters little. God wants our love above all else.

Seeing Christ as he is changes everything

John is winding up to reveal a Jesus to us who will blow our minds, stun us: He is the risen King of creation, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead

Pastor Taylor gives an overview and intro to the fascinating book of Revelation.

Jesus didn’t just save us in his death. He saved us in his life. And he effects that salvation through our pain and loss, when it feels like all has gone wrong. He is working.

Advent sermon by Justin Elder

God prizes faith in his word, over our feelings, circumstances, the opinion of others. His word is this: God saves sinners. His name is Jesus. Believe on him and be saved.

The kingdom of power comes thru weakness. It’s not “your best life now.” He calls us to come and die.
