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.

Caring for the Needy Pt. 2
We spend one more week thinking about the truth we find in 1 Timothy 5.3-16. This Sunday we unpack the idea that if we’re going to be a church who faithfully cares for the needy, we must first care for the needs of our own family. This means that we cannot faithfully care for the needy in the church while at the same time neglect to care for the needs of our own households. In this sermon, we consider three motivations for why we should care for our own families: 1) Our Care Honors Our Family, 2) Our Care Honors Our Church, and 3) Our Care Honors Our King.
Caring for the Needy Pt. 1
The church is a spiritual family committed to caring for one another. In 1 Timothy 5.3-16, we see this is especially true when it comes to widows in the church. If the church is going to be faithful to Jesus, we must discern all the various needs within in the body and prioritize caring for those who are truly needy. In these verses there are two main ideas we find:
1) Where We Should Not Prioritize Care and 2) Where We should Prioritize Care.
The ultimate reason the church cares for the needy and vulnerable is because that’s exactly who we were before Christ and God in infinite mercy demonstrated divine care for us in the gospel.
