Good Friday - Better Sunday

The final sermon in this short series, and the Easter message: This sermon explores the ways Jesus' resurrection fits into the overall story of Scripture and how the resurrection changes the way we view the cross. On Good Friday, death wins. On Sunday, God wins.

Clay Pots - Ed Robertson

The Worst Sinner - Mark Wagner

Good Friday - Jesus Our Passover Lamb

This sermon series describes four views of the cross. Not that any of these views totally invalidates the others, but that each adds depth and sparkle to the others. The death of Christ on the cross cannot be explained by one metaphor. This week's sermon discusses: WHY Jesus is our Passover Lamb; WHAT that means for us; and HOW it impacts our lives. The Passover Lamb wasn't killed for Israel's sins, and Jesus wasn't only killed for ours. 

Good Friday - Ransom and Redemption

This sermon series describes four views of the cross. Not that any of these views totally invalidates the others, but that each adds depth and sparkle to the others. The death of Christ on the cross cannot be explained by one metaphor. This week's sermon begins in Mark 10:45 and discusses how Christ came to serve and offer himself as a ransom. How is ransom different a judicial approach to the cross?

Good Friday - Penal Substitution

This sermon series describes four views of the cross. Not that any of these views totally invalidates the others, but that each adds depth and sparkle to the others. The death of Christ on the cross cannot be explained by one metaphor. This week looks at today's most common perspective, the judicial view of Penal Substitutionary Atonement. Time doesn't allow for a detailed discussion, so this sermon provides an overview.

What Are You Seeking?

Sometimes it can be difficult to know if we come to church to help others, to help ourselves, or do to God a favor. Perhaps at different points in our lives we think it's each of those things. This means it's easy to sometimes slip into a consumer mentality where it's other people's responsibility to make my worship experience meaningful. This sermon presents a mindset that can transform the worship experience for everyone.

LR Cubed - Renew

Isaiah 53 may be one of the most familiar passages in Isaiah, and even the Bible as a whole. How many people know the context of this great chapter? This sermon examines the context and provides hope for us all that God always has something better in mind for his people.
