Reaching Our Metropolis – Episode 3

What looks like weakness is the power of God.

What seems foolish is the wisdom of heaven.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 1:18–31, Pastor Tyler explores how the cross of Jesus Christ turns all human expectations upside down. The cross is not just how we are saved—it’s how we’re called to live.

This message will challenge you to reflect on how the cross shapes your life: your power, your posture, your relationships, and your witness in the world. It's a call to self-giving love, humility, and the kind of strength that only comes from grace.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 1:4–17, Paul reminds the church of their identity in Christ before calling out the divisions that threaten to tear them apart. With humility, clarity, and theological depth, we explore how correction rooted in grace leads to unity in the body of Christ.

We also look at how modern factions—celebrity pastors, tribal theology, and even the phrase "we just teach the Bible"—mirror the same spirit Paul confronts in Corinth.

How can the church be holy and present in a culture like ours?
In this kickoff to our new series on 1 Corinthians, Pastor Tyler opens with Paul’s greeting to a wildly diverse and messy church—and shows how the early Christians didn’t survive Rome by hiding from the world. They transformed it.

You’ll discover how “being holy” isn’t about separation, but about mission. It’s about being set apart for the world, not against it. Drawing from personal stories, surprising Greek insights, and Tim Keller’s five marks of the early church, this sermon offers a compelling vision for what it means to be God’s people in a modern metropolis.

Guest Sermon – June 15, 2025

Pastor Justin Richter | grace-hill.org

Pastor Justin Richter from South Valley Community Church teaches from John 15:1–17, where Jesus invites us to abide in Him as the true vine. With a vivid story about a man who lost everything chasing an online fantasy world, Justin challenges us to consider what we’re truly connected to. Are we plugged into a fake vine—or abiding in Christ, the source of real life, purpose, and joy?

What does it really mean to “love your neighbor as yourself”? In the final message of our Leviticus series, Pastor Tyler explores Leviticus 19—the chapter Jesus quotes when He says this is the second greatest commandment. We’ll discover why holiness isn’t about withdrawal from the world, but about living in deep, grace-shaped community.

This sermon walks through the heart of biblical ethics: loving with courage, forgiving with freedom, and even rebuking with compassion. Along the way, you’ll hear a story from a Starbucks barista, a few thoughts on freeway revenge, and a vision for how God's refining grace empowers us to reflect His image.

Ever feel like no matter how many times you deal with a sin, it just keeps coming back?

In this episode, Pastor Tyler uses the metaphor of a cluttered garage to explore the deeper truth behind Leviticus 16 and the Day of Atonement. Why did God set up a system where sins were dealt with year after year? What does it mean for Jesus to be our final scapegoat?

From the inner rooms of the tabernacle to the heart of Romans 7 and 8, this sermon reveals a grace that goes beyond guilt removal—it removes sin altogether.

What happens when we try to worship God on our own terms? In this episode, we explore the sobering story of Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10—two priests who offered “strange fire” and were consumed by God’s holiness.

Far from a legalistic cautionary tale, this sermon reframes the story as an invitation to rediscover what true worship is meant to be: grace-filled, God-centered, and shaped by the pattern Jesus taught us in the Lord’s Prayer.

*Speaking of worship gone wrong, we also have a case of "Recording Gone Wrong"! The first half of this sermon is missing, but the final 12 minutes are still great!

Description:
Why would anyone read Leviticus for spiritual formation? In this sermon, Pastor Tyler unpacks the five key offerings in Leviticus 1–9—not as ancient legal transactions, but as God’s liturgy of grace. These practices helped Israel live in radical truthfulness, gratitude, and reconciliation—and they still echo in our rhythms of worship today.

After all the effort to build the tabernacle, Exodus ends with a shocking cliffhanger—Moses can't enter. But Leviticus opens with a whisper of grace: “The Lord called to Moses...”

In this sermon, Pastor Tyler explores how Leviticus 1:1 reveals the heart of the gospel—that God always initiates the relationship. Drawing on Genesis 15, Romans 5, and a story about Pop Warner football, this message reminds us that we are invited not because we earned it, but because God made the first move.

In pagan temples, people came to look at the gods and perform rituals to get something in return. But Israel’s temple was different. There was no image to gaze at—because we are the image of God. At the heart of worship stood a lamp shining on bread—God’s transforming gaze shining on his people, not the other way around.

This sermon explores the light and loaves of Leviticus 24, the priestly blessing in Numbers 6, and the invitation to let God’s presence sanctify us as we come to his table.
