A message from the series “Sermons.” In the final chapter of Hosea, the prophet seeks to make one final call for Israel to repent of their idolatry and find their hope and rest in the the coming kingdom of God, ruled by the truly good One, Jesus, who is a tree of life for all who come to him in faith.

A message from the series “Sermons.” In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Pastor Jon English explains how the church is the new temple of God, which means the church is the place of God’s special revealed presence, is holy and pure, is divinely made and ordered, and is only entered through the work of a priest. Furthermore, the new temple is also protected by God himself, and thus we would be warned to not tear it down through sin or impurity.

A message from the series “Sermons.” Pastor Jordan begins a sermon series going through Peter’s second letter to the elect exiles of the Dispersion.

A message from the series “Sermons.” In this short sermon from Leviticus 16, Pastor Jon English explains the connections between Aaron’s work on the Day of the Atonement in the Tabernacle to the Priestly work of Christ on the Cross.

A message from the series “Sermons.” What Jesus gives us in these opening seven verses of His “Sermon on the Plain” is four blessings followed by four woes, thereby contrasting for us two ways of life. Jesus takes the things that no one wants – poverty, hunger, sorrow, and persecution – and tells us that these are the very things that God blesses. Then He says that everything the world wants – money, food, entertainment, and popularity – are exactly the things that bring woe and regret. In this sermon, we explore the first three.

A message from the series “Sermons.” In heaven there will be no more darkness. There be no more hidden sin, concealed shame, or shrouded truth. We will see that this who who walk in darkness will wake up to God’s wrath, but those who are sons of light will behold God’s glory for all eternity.
