Sermons
The Word of God faithfully preached to the Church is one of the most essential aspects of Christian discipleship. Through preaching every saint is equipped and trained for ministry as disciple-making disciples.
This is one reason preaching is the central element of our Lord’s Day worship.
One of the best ways to know what we believe is by listening to what is regularly preached.

The Desire and Dominion of Sin and the Triumph of Christ
E kala mai, last week’s sermon on Genesis 3.14-24 was not recorded. This week, in Genesis 4, we find three reasons why we need to be killing sin. The first reason is because sin’s desire is for you, the second reason is because sin will take dominion over your life, and the third reason you need to kill sin is because Christ (as the promised offspring of the woman) has already triumphed over sin through his death and resurrection.
Inescapable-Suffering, Incomparable-Hope, Inseparable-Love
In Romans 8.18-39 we find some of the most profound and glorious truths in all of Christian doctrine. These truths help us navigate all the complexities of the Christian life because the Christian life is full of rejoicing and suffering. And when we go through the stormy trials of life, the church is called by God to be a source of comfort. We are to comfort one another in our sorrows and affliction with the truth of the gospel. In this text we find three important realities that will help us as we comfort each other: 1) the reality of inescapable suffering, 2) the reality of incomparable hope, and 3) the reality of inseparable love.
Marks of a Faithful Servant Pt. 1
In 1 Timothy 4.6-10, Paul shows Timothy three important marks of every faithful servant: 1) Faithful Servants Instruct the Brothers, 2) Faithful Servants Train for Godliness, 3) Faithful Servants Hope in God. Next Sunday we’ll consider several others marks of faithfulness as we close out chapter four.
Lamenting Together
We continue our break from 1 Timothy to spend a couple weeks thinking about suffering. In this sermon, we consider David’s lament in Psalm 13. Mark Vroegop has helpfully defined lament as “A prayer in pain that leads to trust.” In Psalm 13, we find three aspects of David lament: 1) David’s Pain, 2) David’s Prayer, and 3) David’s Praise. There are two practical response in light of these things: 1) We must lament, and 2) We must lament together.
The Hope of the Resurrection
For Resurrection Sunday, we take a look at John 11 and consider the tragedy of death and the hope of resurrection from John 11. We consider four truths that are meant to build our hope in Christ and his resurrection: 1) Christ's Purpose, 2) Christ's Promise, 3) Christ's Passion, and 4) Christ's Power.
