Mark Booker | 1 Corinthians 1:17 | The Cross: The Power and Wisdom of God | This is the first message in a series that is reflecting on the cross through a study of 1 Cor 1.17-2.5. Paul immediately brings the attention of the troubled church in Corinth to the cross of Christ. This is the remedy for their troubles. In truth, the cross is the remedy for every matter in the Christian life. In this sermon, we examine the two halves of verse 17, considering 1) the priority of proclaiming the cross and 2) how not to pursue that priority.

Michael W. Goheen | Matthew 5:13-16 | Dr. Goheen exorts us through an exploration of Matthew 5:13-16 and Isaiah 2:1-5.

Ruth Padilla DeBorst | Isaiah 55:1-3, 56:4-8 | Dr. DeBorst provides a view of God's invitation to all of us through the text of Isaiah 55:1-3, 56:4-8.

Tom Petters | Hosea 6:1-6 | Dr. Petter looks at the book of Hosea, as he delves into the topic of Repentance.

Damian Long | Luke 15:1-10 | I am the one who has wandered from the fold. We are the ones who have wandered. He is the Good Shepherd who puts us on his shoulders and bring us back into him, household and restored and rejoicing loving relationship.

Barry Kang | Esther 8:1-2 & 8:15-9:2 | Dr. Kang examines the book of Esther, discussing the sovereignty of God.

Jeffrey Arthurs | Psalm 67 | Psalms of Jesus | Dr. Arthurs exhorts us to share the prayer of Paul in Ephesians 1:15-23, that the church would have a spirit of wisdom and revelation.

Adam Herndon | Psalm 34 | Psalms of Jesus | We live in a culture where we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. We have a fear of not measuring up to worldly standards. In Psalm 34, we are invited to overcome our fears with fear. We are instructed to fear the Lord. As we seek him, and follow his word we will taste the goodness of God in our lives.

Julian L | Psalm 57 | Psalms of Jesus | How do you navigate storms? Do you shut down ‘emotionally'? Do you get hijacked with anger? Psalm 57 provides a path of wisdom with twists and turns from David’s experience.

Damian Long | Psalm 139 | Psalms of Jesus | To be known fully and completely is to be undone. Jesus as the very known-ness, knowability, and all-knowing God, searches our hearts and humbles us, as he leads us through the death to self to life everlasting in Him.

Julian L | Psalm 81 | Psalms of Jesus | What is an authentic community? How do you belong to or contribute to an authentic Christian community? Psalm 81 tells us we need to separate ourselves from our 'false' self, a deformed, projected image we communicate to others, and to develop our 'true' self based on the inner life of the Spirit re-shaping our souls. An authentic community needs both praise and silence, shouting and listening, singing and hearing, otherwise it is merely replicating the false-self of individuals writ large.

Adam Herndon | Psalm 118 | Psalms of Jesus | God's steadfast and enduring love delivers his people from their sin through Jesus Christ. We are apart of God's redemptive story in this world. We are called to go out and share our own song (story) of God's deliverance in our life.

Mark Booker | Psalm 110 | Psalms of Jesus | The earliest Christians - and Jesus himself - saw the events of Jesus's resurrection and ascension through this psalm. This sermon explores three points about Jesus and two points about us that arise from this psalm. What we learn in this psalm can renew our worship and service of Jesus, our victorious king and eternal priest.

Mark Booker | Psalm 96 | Psalms of Jesus | Psalm 96 is a summons to all the world to praise the God of Israel who reigns. This sermon considers that summons, why it is given, and the effects of praise in the life of those who follow Jesus.

Mark Booker | Psalm 94 Psalms of Jesus | We regularly face circumstances of dissonance and disorientation, circumstances in which it seems that God is not ruling over our lives or the world. These circumstances can make our faith dwindle, but Psalm 94 gives us a blueprint for how faith can be exercised, and even strengthened, in these situations.

Mark Booker | Psalm 72 | Psalms of Jesus | We explore the vision for an ideal king in Psalm 72, one whose rule enacts God's rule that brings flourishing to all. We then consider how Jesus is that king and how we are to join him in advancing his reign.

Randall Wetzig | Psalm 72 | Psalms of Jesus | God's vision for a good king is one who rules with God's own justice and righteousness, rules for the flourishing of the people, and whose kingdom extends across the earth and through all time. No earthly king or government can measure up. We need a good king. Jesus is that king.

Chris May | Psalm 69 | Psalms of Jesus | The Psalms show us that we can say anything as long as we say it to God. David and Jesus lead us as we pray with honest emotion.

Tim Leary | Psalm 40 | Psalms of Jesus | The Lord blesses the man who trusts in Him. Jesus's sacrifice is enough for salvation. References to U2 and C.S. Lewis were the fun part of the message.

Damian Long | Psalm 31| Psalms of Jesus | God as Our refuge and good and spacious place, has rescued us by His mighty powerful and perfectly loving hand. Jesus entrusted his Spirit on the cross as he uttered the pray from this Psalm - the embodiment and perfect expression of committing completely in submission to God. And we now, as embraced and belonging people can entrust our entire lives in response, for He has redeemed us as our faithful God!
