Randall Wetzig | Matthew 2:1-12 | Sermon given by Randall Wetzig on the book of Matthew.

Chris May | Luke 8:40-56 | In Chris May's retirement sermon, she preaches from the book of Luke.

Adam Herndon | Luke 2:40-52 | This is a unique account of Jesus' pre-teen life only found in Luke's Gospel. It serves as transition as we prepare for Jesus' adult ministry. It shows us that Jesus' priority in the beginning through the end of his life was about doing the will of his Father in Heaven. We are called to prioritize our relationship with God and his will over all other earthly relationships.

Mark Booker | Revelation 14:1 - 15:4 | This sermon explores four visions contrasting the benefits of following Jesus versus the cost of choosing to align with worldly powers and thus experiencing divine judgment. We see how life is offered to all who follow the Lamb - the one who begins his rescue missions as a baby in Bethlehem - and we are called to endure in following him wherever he goes.

Mark Booker | Revelation 13:1-18 | In this exploration of Revelation 13, the battle between God's people and the forces of evil is unveiled further, revealing how empires and cultural systems can become "beasts" that demand false worship. This sermon challenges us to recognize the spiritual warfare happening around us, to resist subtle idolatry, and to remain faithful to the Lamb.

Mark Booker | Revelation 11:19, 12:1-17 | This sermon explores the vision of the cosmic conflict between the woman (the church) and the dragon (Satan) in Revelation 12. This conflict forms the backdrop of our lives today - see Ephesians 6.12 - and this sermon offers insights for how we are to overcome.

Mark Booker | Revelation 11:1-18 | Given on the first day of the season of Advent, this sermon considers four aspects of the church's profound calling to be faithful witnesses that arise from these two visions in Revelation 11.

Mark Booker | Revelation 10:1-11 | This sermon unpacks the details of John's encounter with an angel in which he receives, and eats, a scroll. It explores the fact that the scroll is both sweet and bitter and considers the implications of this for the life of disciples of the Lamb today.

Mark Booker | Revelation 8:7 - 9:21 | This sermon explores the vivid imagery of the seven trumpets as symbols of divine judgment. It draws insights about God's judgment, rescue, sovereignty, responsiveness, and restraint as a means of encouraging Christian disciples and inviting all to respond to God's mercy.

Mark Booker | 1 Peter 2:9-12 | Given on the final day of our Mission Conference, this sermon reminds us that when we receive God's mercy, we are given a new identity which entails a vocation of proclaiming Jesus through both our words and deeds in a broken world.

Uchenna Anyanwu | Corinthians 4:1-6 | Uchenna Anyanwu opens Park Street's 2024 Mission Conference by examining Paul's encouragement to the Corinthians to proclaim Jesus in their lives and service, even in the midst of conflict.

Mark Booker | Revelation 7:1-17 | The sermon examines the two visions in Revelation 7 - the 144,000 sealed servants and the innumerable multitude - arguing they represent the same group (the church) from different perspectives: those enduring trials now and those triumphant at the end (and new beginning) of history. Through this parallel, the passage offers us both present assurance in God's protection through trials and future hope in eternal comfort.

Mark Booker | Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5 | As John's vision continues, this sermon considers the first of three cycles of seven in Revelation: the seven seals. The visions in these cycles communicate the victory of God over the powers of darkness and, as a result, serve as an encouragement for God's people to remain faithful. This sermon explores the Lamb's sovereignty over the powers of evil, the importance of the prayers of the saints, and the coming end-time judgment when God will finally eradicate all evil from his creation.

Mark Booker | Revelation 5:1-14 | In our second look at this chapter, we return to the theme of worship. This sermon makes observations about the expansion of worship in relation to its object, its reasons, and its scope. We're reminded that we are called to worship and that this is critical for sustaining our witness.

Randall Wetzig | John 16:32 - 17:8 | What is life? What is eternal life? Jesus redefines both for us in his prayer before going to the cross. By his death, he gives us life: to know the only true God.

Mark Booker | Revelation 5:1-14 | We continue looking at John's vision of the heavenly throne room and we see the lamb standing as slain through whom God's kingdom is established. This sermon examines how he conquered and what this means about God and for us.

Mark Booker | Revelation 4:1-11 | This sermon considers John's vision of the core of reality: the heavenly throne room in which there is unceasing worship of the one seated on the throne. Through this breathtaking vision, we are invited to think more deeply about - and to enter into - that worship for which we were made.

Mark Booker | Revelation 1:9-20 | The book of Revelation begins with a powerful, evocative vision of the glorious Christ, a vision which comforts and encourages disciples as they seek to walk faithfully with Jesus through the challenges of life. This sermon explores this vision in the context of tribulation and considers how it provides unshakeable hope and real comfort, leading to responses of worship and witness.

Mark Booker | Revelation 1:1-8 | Revelation can be a haven for sectarian thinking and for Christian disagreement. Why would we preach and engage this book? This introductory message for a new sermon series on the book of Revelation offers seven reasons to engage with Revelation that arise from the prologue to the book: Revelation 1.1-8.

Mark Booker | Ephesians 6:18-20 | This is the third and final sermon in a short series on Ephesians 6.10-20. This message considers Paul's exhortation for us to pray at all times and the importance of prayer in helping us to put on the armor and stand firm. It also addresses the key reason for our struggles in prayer.
