Commander of Storm and Sea

Jesus demonstrates his authority and power to prove that he is God in human flesh. He still possession this same authority and power today and it is our task to live in light of Christ’s authority through faith. Passage: Luke 8:22-25

Christ’s Final Words

In Christ’s last words to the apostles we find both correction and encouragement. In response to a bewildered band of apostles, Jesus offers a powerful theology of the kingdom of God and promises to equip them for its advance. These same realities remain true and effective for the church today. Passage: Acts 1:6-11

I Will Build My Church

In this sermon, Pastor Tim examines Jesus promise to build his church. We consider when that promise was made, how it begun, how it is expanding, and finally its completion in glory. May this promise give you comfort, hope, and let you stand firm and labor in the Lord. Passage: Matthew 16:18

Take Care How You Hear

Jesus frequently calls us to right hearing. He calls us to hear and respond to his words. So we must ask, “Am I a good hearer?” This sermon examines the parable of the lamp and is a call for us to hear and act upon the good news of the King and his kingdom. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Passage: Luke 8:16-21

Parable of the Soils

In the most well-known of Jesus’ teaching styles and perhaps the most well-known parable, we consider the spread and the reception of the message of the kingdom of God. In this parable, we’re encouraged to both see the word of God go forth and to be sure we are hearing properly in response to the words of life. Passage: Luke 8:4-15

Gospel Patrons

As the good news of the kingdom of God goes forth, it depends upon gospel proclamation. However, it also depends upon gospel patrons. Gospel patrons are servants of Christ who support the work of gospel proclamation out of their means. May this encourage us all to see that we have a role to play in seeing the kingdom of God advance. Passage: Luke 8:1-3

Sinners Love the Savior

Those who are forgiven much love much. So the question is: Do you love Jesus? This sermon explores the love of a woman toward Jesus for the forgiveness she received and this should be the overflow of the heart of any sinner who recognizes the amazing grace of the Almighty Savior. Passage: Luke 7:36-50

(Mis)Understanding Jesus

This sermon considers how John the Baptist was stumbling over Jesus and was wondering whether he was the Christ or should they look for another. Not only that but the religious leaders rejected John and Jesus, but the tax collectors and sinners are the ones who recognizes both. We learn here how important it is to understand God’s history of redemption to see Christ truly. Passage: Luke 7:18-35

Commendable Faith

Jesus continues his miraculous ministry of healing where he demonstrates his divine power. In this sermon, we consider the commendable faith of a Roman soldier who is exemplary for us and our faith. Here we gain insight into the proper response to Jesus as he hear who he is, what he says, and what he does. Passage: Luke 7:1-17

The Victorious Christ and His Spoils

As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, this sermon considers the great purpose of Christ becoming a curse for us. Galatians 3:14 explains he died to redeem us from the curse “so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might com to the nations.” What we see here directs us to worship and adoration of the mighty Savior. Passage: Galatians 3:14

Christ Became a Curse for Us

In this sermon, Pastor Tim reminds us from Galatians 3:13 that Jesus died for an important purpose. The reviling, shame, and wrath he endured was so that the curse upon us might fall upon him and rescue us in reconciling us to God. Friday is so good because Christ won our salvation through his death. Passage: Galatians 3:10-13
