El Roi - The God Who Sees You
This message is a reminder that God did not create us to live in worry or anxiety. Even when we feel far from Him or believe we've made a mess of things, He is El Roi—the God who sees you.
500?
America just celebrated her 250th birthday. Can she make it to 500? A politician may answer that question by talking about healthcare, education, the economy, or national security. But this is a pastor’s take. If we want America to make it to her 500th birthday, there are three things we must protect, preserve, and regain.
There is a Cause
There is a cause: a cause for creation and life itself, and a cause for our salvation. Light. Life. The cause of Christ. That is the cause the Church must hold dear. This message explores the cosmological argument for the existence of God and how that truth reaches down into the life of the believer.
Inaugurated Eschatology
Inaugurated Eschatology is a theological framework that helps believers understand where we are in the biblical timeline—living after the cross and awaiting the Day of the Lord. Understanding what has already been accomplished and what has not yet come, but is still to come, helps protect us from theological error and disillusionment. This message serves as a general introduction to this important theological framework.
The Heart
The New Covenant has a specific locality: the heart. The heart is the inner self, the true self. It is the center of our thoughts, desires, affections, and will. It has the capacity for both good and evil, truth and deception, faith and unbelief.
The good news of the New Covenant is that God promises to give His people a new heart. This message explores the key to receiving that new heart. How can a heart of stone, toward God or toward another person, be replaced with a heart of flesh? That is the focus of this message.
Under the Law
Are we under the Law? The answer is yes and no. But really, that’s an incomplete question. We are under the Law of Christ (Paul’s words). In this Pentecost Sunday message, celebrating when the Law was given to Moses on Mt. Sinai, we will look at the “law” that we, as New Covenant believers, ARE under.

Knowing God - Covenant Relationship
Most often, we view the gospel of Jesus Christ as a means of entering heaven or avoiding hell. But God’s intention has always been to know His people and to be known by them. This message is about that, and it will also include our communion service.
Commands
There’s a key insight that is often overlooked when it comes to Jesus overcoming the testing and temptation in the wilderness. He overcame by using Scripture, but what Scripture did He use? The commandments, specifically those found in Deuteronomy 6 and 8. What does this teach us about overcoming our own temptations and tests?
22, 23, 24
Psalms 22, 23, and 24 form a powerful “Christ arc,” carrying the reader from the cross to the ascension of Jesus. Together, they paint a stunning prophetic picture of His final days on earth. See these Psalms in a way you may have never seen before.
