The most common type of Psalm is the lament (or complaint) psalm. In this sermon, Pastor Bill unpacks the significance of this fact, and the positive role that lament can play in the lives of God's People.

Christians often turn to the Psalms for an emotional pick me up. In this first sermon in the series "Enlarging Your Soul" Pastor Bill introduces us to the Book of Psalms and shows how the Psalms were written and arranged to teach us how to pray and to form us into God's People.   

There are many misconceptions about the Christian understanding and practice of forgiveness. In this sermon on Jesus' teaching from Luke 17, Jasmine shows us that forgiveness is in God's nature, and that God desires to transform our hearts and equip us to forgive others as we have been forgiven.

We have a tendency to romanticize the Christmas Story — but those who were the first to feel the impact of the incarnation experienced perplexity, depression and fear. However, those initial emotions eventually gave way to joy, as the reality of who Jesus is and what He came to do began to sink in. Those who truly understand Christmas can't help but have their joy renewed, and their lives made beautiful by the message of Immanuel — God with us.

Throughout the Bible, God identifies Himself as a shepherd who gathers and cares for His flock.  When the prophet Jeremiah does an autopsy of Israel's collapse into exile, he discovers its cause to be a failure of leadership.  This sermon explores how God holds leaders accountable and shepherds His people, creating new possibilities for them to flourish.

Revelation helps us to see our present circumstances against the backdrop of the unseen future and and the unseen present! In this conclusion to our series on Revelation, Pastor Bill explores how the message of Revelation can transform how we live by renewing our hope and casting out our fear.

Vi Tran preached on Revelation 21 and encouraged us to not give up and to not quit. John writes Revelation because he wants to nurture our hope and build our resilience to stand firm in the Lord, to rejoice in God's true promises, to press on towards the goal, and to win the prize for which God has called heavenward in Christ Jesus.

John compares salvation to a wedding and a war. Both metaphors reveal something crucial about Jesus and how we are to live as His followers while we wait for His return.

Revelation is worship. It was birthed out of worship. It calls us to worship. And it is suffuse with worship. In this sermon, Pastor Bill argues that worship is what forms us into dissident disciples who can resist Babylon and remain faithful to the Lamb (Jesus).

The Beasts in Revelation 13 are not singular persons in history, but timeless tropes. The Apostle John wants to equip the churches to discern and resist human authorities and institutions who assume a god-like status and demand our allegiance and devotion, and to see through the delusions and deceptions that prop them up.
