“The Substitute” – 1 Peter 1:18-19 – SERIES: CORE GOSPEL TRUTHS

Many wonder why a loving God would allow his own son to be murdered in order to forgive the sins of others.  The problem is that they have the story wrong!  Join us as we uncover how the cross is the perfect intersection of God’s love and his justice and learn all of the blessings and privileges that can be ours because of what Jesus did for us!  Sermon originally preached on July 29, 2012.

 

“God is Present” – Philippians 2:5-11 – SERIES: CORE GOSPEL TRUTHS

Why do people want their pastor present in difficult times?  From experience I think it is because when a pastor is present, people feel like God is present.   The pastor isn’t the presence of God, instead he is a reminder that God is present.  Jesus was the actual presence of God in human form.  Join us as we discuss the incarnation of Jesus and its implications in our lives today!  Sermon originally preached on July 15, 2012.

 

“In Hot Pursuit” – Jeremiah 31:31-34 – SERIES: CORE GOSPEL TRUTHS

Have you ever been pursued by anyone?  I have.  In fact, once I was pursued by the cops!  Have you ever been pursued?  The answer to that question is, “YES!”  You have been pursued by God.  You are being pursued by God.  After the fall God could have left us to rot, but he didn’t.  He continued to pursue us through covenants, eventually culminating in the work of his son.  Join us as we talk about each of these covenants and how they represent God reaching out to us through his grace.   Sermon originally preached on July 8, 2012.

 

“I’ve Fallen and I Can’t Get Up!” – Genesis 3 – SERIES: CORE GOSPEL TRUTHS

How did we get here?  How did we get to a place where a man disrobes and eats another man’s face.  How did we get to a place where a man in Las Vegas hits a woman with his car, gets out and robs her, and then takes off.     How did we get to a place where a woman locks her kids in the trunk of her car and sets it on fire.  HOW DID WE GET HERE!  It is all a result of the choice our first parents made a long time ago.  Join us as we discuss the fall and its implications on our life today, and also discover a way that we can get back up!  Sermon originally preached on July 1, 2012.
