This is the third and final message of our 75th Anniversary weekend. In this message, returning Pastor Tom Hicks explores the biblical reality of true friendship, applying it especially to marriage and family. This intensely practical sermon speaks to how Christians are to love one another as redeemed image bearers of God, and how sincerely caring for the health of another's soul truly embodies Christ's love.

This is the second message of our 75th Anniversary weekend. In this message, returning Pastor Greg Belser explores the promise that Christ will return in power at the appointed time. All of creation “will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” (Mark 14:62) Thus, we need to be ready for that day, and anticipating that day as His people.

In this Sermon from Matthew 11:28, Pastor Jon English explains a biblical theology of rest, showing how Adam brought restlessness into the world, and how Christ regained rest on our behalf.

As Paul told us, we are ambassadors for Christ, and this gathering of the saints is our kingdom outpost. Every one of us has been chosen by the king. We are not only His ambassadors, we are His children, His heirs, His army. He has equipped us and called us and united us with His very own Spirit. The stakes are eternal. Here's the pivotal question of this series: Are you living like someone who is part of His Body? Are you fulfilling your calling in His church?

Even in the healthiest churches, it is good for Christians to be reminded of how central the church is to our lives and to God's purpose of redemption. So in this sermon, we go to the end of Acts chapter 2 where we will examine the natural activity and fruitfulness of Christ's church. Here we see the power of God on display as He establishes a united, purified church that is bearing out the truth of the gospel in all facets of life.

The fact that our Savior died for our sins and is risen from the grave changes EVERYTHING! That is the glorious message of Resurrection Sunday. With this sermon, we finish our exposition of Luke's gospel that we began 3 years and 8 months ago. As we explore this text, we are not only going to see the extent of the revolution the disciples experienced, we are going to hear again the commission we have been given to proclaim the gospel.

In this sermon from Philippians 3:20-21, Pastor Jon English explains how citizens of earth look and behave, and how citizens of heaven honor the Lord as they walk in this age.

We return to Luke 24 and Jesus' walk to Emmaus with two of His disciples. After He reveals Himself to them, we have them returning to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples. As they are there, Jesus appears in the midst of them all and proves to them that He has indeed risen bodily from the grave. Through this passage, we are able to see just how transformative the news of the Risen Christ is to us who believe in Him for salvation.

How should we think about what we feel verse what we know? Pastor Jordan helps us understand this from Psalm 40.

As we continue in Luke 24 this week, we have the joy of seeing Jesus Himself walk the road to Emmaus with two of His followers, and eventually revealing Himself to them as their Risen Savior. Through this text, we see how Jesus delights to reveal Himself through His Word. He proceeds to teach them the greatest Bible Study they have ever or will ever hear, and He helps us all understand that the Old Testament is His Testament.

In this sermon from Song of Solomon 8:1-7, Pastor Jon English explains how Solomon exhorts everyone toward purity, and how the book concludes by summarizing what love looks like.

Jesus is alive! As we begin our exposition of Luke 24, we discuss God's plans for the first witnesses of the resurrection of His Son, the critical importance of remembering the truth of the Gospel, and the glorious report that the disciples struggled to believe.

In this sermon from Song of Solomon 8:1-7, Pastor Jon English explains how Solomon’s poetry points us toward faithful use of our words, as well as points us toward the heavenly fulfillment of all our desires.

Exceeding grief, deep emotional pain, the emptiness of loss – these were the emotions being felt by the followers and loved ones of Jesus as they watched Him die. Now it was time for them to care for the body of Jesus. From this text, we glean the significance of Jesus' death, and we are blessed to behold the courage and compassion of people like Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemas, and Mary Magdalene as they continued to meet Christ's earthly need for burial.

In this sermon from 1 Peter 5:1-4 (and other texts), Pastor Jon English explains the duties and dangers present for both shepherds and a sheep in the household of God.

Jesus was always going to accomplish His mission by dying for our sins. He is the Lamb of God who came to take away our sin. His death and resurrection secures our forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. So we all know this story – it is familiar to us. Yet, the way Luke is led by the Holy Spirit to record this part of the narrative captures amazing eternal realities that are on display as Jesus suffers the curse of our sin.

Luke is the only gospel writer that gives us this account of the salvation of the thief on the cross. Through this part of his gospel narrative, we are brought again to consider the witness of Christ's sufferings and the powerful way He saves sinners from condemnation and wrath. The thief on the cross in our brother, and the testimony of last minute conversion reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of our Savior.

In this sermon from Song of Solomon 7, Pastor Jon English explains how the love of the King woos his bride back to the garden, how the King delights in re-writing sorrowful histories, and how the King’s love points us to the un-doing of the curse.

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan warns us about being men and women who are in love with this present age, how the world is fleeting, and that the one who boast in himself does not love God.

In this Sermon, Pastor Jordan helps us understand that we are all growing in holiness and spiritual maturity.
