Randall Wetzig | Exodus 10:21-29 | What could the God "in whom there is no darkness" be doing by causing darkness in Egypt for three straight days? We consider the 9th plague as we continue a sermon series through Exodus, exploring how God has made himself known through the children of Israel to the world.

Mark Booker | Exodus 9:13-35 | The ten plagues reveal God's purpose to make himself known. This sermon looks at the introduction to the seventh plague and shows how God is making himself known through his power to the Egyptians, the Israelites, and to all the earth. It concludes by considering Pharaoh's response and by asking, "How do we respond?"

Mark Booker | Exodus 5:1-6:1 | How do we deal with hardship and trial in the Christian life? This sermon examines how Moses's confrontation with Pharaoh made things worse and what we can learn from Moses' honest, raw interaction with God.

Mark Booker | Exodus 4:1-18 | This sermon continues to explore Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush. As Moses interacts and wrestles further, God reveals more about his provision for Moses and calls him to trust him and to go on the mission. We, too, are invited to trust the God who has revealed his provision to us in Jesus.

Mark Booker | Exodus 3:1-15 | We begin to explore the interaction between Moses and God in the burning bush during which God calls Moses to lead his people out of slavery in Egypt. In this encounter, God calls Moses by name and makes himself known by the mysterious name, "I AM." As God reveals himself, he invites Moses and us to trust him more and more.

Mark Booker | Exodus 1:1-22 | This opening sermon in a series on the book of Exodus, "God Made Known," explores how Exodus 1 invites us into the grand story of God and his life-giving purposes in the world. Like the king of Egypt and the midwives, we have a choice to align with the forces of death or to courageously stand with the God of life.

Mark Booker | Psalm 118:1-29 | This rich psalm offers an invitation to come out of a life riddled by anxiety and fear and into a life of confident faith rooted in the steadfast love of the God who saves.

Mark Booker | Psalm 117:1-2 | In the shortest psalm in the Scriptures, God summons all nations to praise Him on the basis of his steadfast love and faithfulness to his people. This summons is fulfilled in Jesus through whom God's steadfast love and faithfulness are most clearly revealed. In Christ, God has established a worldwide, multinational family of blessing and praise into which all people are invited.

Mark Booker | Psalm 116 1-19 | Psalm 116 reveals a pattern that envelopes the whole of the Christian life: trouble, petition, deliverance, and grateful response. This sermon considers how God's ultimate deliverance through Christ enables us to live with hope and thanksgiving even in our darkest moments.

Sandy Willson | Psalm 115 | When we face the question, "Is the God of the Bible real?" what do we do? Guest preacher Sandy Willson (Pastor Emeritus at Second Presbyterian Church, Memphis, Tennessee) explores this question through the lens of Psalm 115.

Randall Wetzig | Psalm 113 | Psalm 113 tells us to praise God at all times and in every place. But why should we?

Adam Herndon | Psalm 112 | This Psalm, often referred to as the beatitudes of the Psalms, shows what a blessed life looks like when we live in the fear of the Lord. The central blessing being how we can live free of all other fears we may have.

Mark Booker | Psalm 111 | Psalm 111 reveals how God's mighty works of deliverance fuel the life of praise that is marked by wholehearted thanksgiving, communal worship, and lives lived in the fear of the Lord.

Mark Booker | Luke 22:7-20 | This sermon reflects on the gift of the sacraments generally and then on the Lord's Supper as instituted by Jesus with his disciples the night before he was crucified. The Lord's Supper is to be a joyful celebration as we remember Christ's sacrifice, commune with Him in the present, and anticipate the future messianic banquet.

Mark Booker | Colossians 3:17 | In this conclusion to the sermon series on the new life from Colossians 3.12-17, this sermon considers the Christ-saturated reality of the new life, how this produces a life abounding in thanksgiving, and how that then leads us - as the beloved children of God - to do everything "in the name of the Lord Jesus."

Mark Booker | Colossians 3:16 | This sermon unpacks Colossians 3.16 through three key movements: the nature of Christ's word, what it means for this word to dwell richly within us, and how psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are a means of teaching and admonishing one another, helping us to mature as the body of Christ.

Mark Booker | Colossians 3:15 | In contrast to a world filled with conflict and division, the new life to which we are called in Christ is to be ruled by the peace of Christ. This sermon explores the nature of this peace, what it means for this peace to rule over us, and why this is fitting given that we are one body.

Mark Booker | Colossians 3:14 | As part of a series on the new life we have in Christ in Colossians 3.12-17, this sermon explores the defining virtue of the Christian life: love. We examine the priority of love, the definition of love, and the ways we can grow in love.

Mark Booker | Colossians 3:13 | This sermon explores the radical call to forgiveness in the Christian life, examining both the inner work of forgiveness and touching on the journey toward reconciled relationships. God's lavish forgiveness is the foundation for extending grace to those who have wounded us—not as advanced spirituality, but as the essential heartbeat of new life in Christ.

Mark Booker | Colossians 3:12 | This sermon explores what it means to "put on" the character of Christ through five qualities that reshape our posture toward others: compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. These are not automatic changes but intentional ways of living that we are to develop daily—like putting on a new uniform for our new life in Christ.
