Raised Up and Exalted

Peter continues to proclaim that Jesus is both Lord and Christ, and has been raised from the dead and is now exalted to the Father's right hand.

Attested, Crucified, Delivered Up

As Peter begins to proclaim that Jesus is both Lord and Christ, he presents the mystery of the cross, which was both ordained by God and carried out by human hands.

I Will Pour Out My Spirit

In the midst of the apparent confusion on the Day of Pentecost, Peter quotes from the book of Joel and says, "This that Joel prophecied is happening now," and thereby calls all Christians to live as the Spirit-indwelt and empowered prophet Jesus has made them into.

Grounded & Guided

The goal of this sermon considering the account of the 10 days between Jesus’ ascension and the decent of the Spirit is three-fold: (1) To paint a picture of the scene in verse 12-14 (who was there and what were they doing), (2) To explain the importance of the actions of Peter and the others in 15-26 as they replace Judas, and (3) To provide a model for seeking God’s guidance as individuals and as a church. All of this calls us to remain rooted in the truth and follow God’s sovereign leading.

The Power and Necessity of the Ascension

The final days of Jesus before his ascension and the Ascension itself teaches us that Jesus prepares and equips us as witnesses to the world.

Join the Spread of the Good Word of Jesus

In this introductory sermon to our study in the book of Acts, we consider the book as a whole and the call it gives to every follower of Jesus: Join in on the unstoppable, ever-expanding, Spirit-empowered spread of the good Word of Jesus to all people for the glory of God.

Who Are We? - Sanctity of Human Life Sunday 2018

On this SOHLS, we seek to answer from Scripture the question, "Who are we?" In doing so we find that the Christian understanding of human nature is not simply true; it is also makes the most sense of our world and is part of what leads to the greatest blessing for all people.

Whose House Will You Go To?

As we close out our series in the book of Proverbs, we look at Proverbs 9 and the invitations to go to Wisdom's house or Folly's house. God's word through this illustration announces to us, "Don’t follow folly; listen to the life-giving voice of wisdom."

Prince of Peace

The angels proclaimed at the birth of Jesus, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased." Yet Jesus himself said that he did not come to bring peace on earth. Still, for those who will bow before him in faith, he brings peace with God, peace with all people, peace in our lives, and peace for eternity.

Sloth, Haste, Diligence

"The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway."
