Earlier sermons

1. Sunday, November 1

   Sunday Service Livestream

   The sermon walks through Paul's comparison of the fading glory of the old covenant with the permanent glory of the new, holding up justification by faith alone as the Reformation's recovery of the gospel and the ground of a believer's confidence and joy.

2. Sunday, October 18

   Ambassadors and Truth

   An ambassador for Christ speaks the truth about sin and holiness, and that means taking sin seriously and taking forgiveness just as seriously, guarding the character of God in the church's life.

3. Sunday, October 11

   There's a Divinity That Shapes Our Ends

   Using the central song of ascent, this sermon says that building, protecting, and working apart from the Lord comes to nothing, and that God gives sleep to his beloved; the second half turns that same dependence toward children and the coming generation as a gift to be stewarded.

4. Sunday, October 4

   The World Within

   John says the world we are told not to love is not mostly out there in the culture but inside us, in what we crave, what we want to look at, and what we boast in, and the only way out is to die to it at the cross.

5. Sunday, September 27

   Workers for Your Joy

   Paul tells a church that had turned on him that he does not lord it over their faith but works with them for their joy, and the sermon unpacks what that joy is, where it comes from, and what it costs.

6. Sunday, September 13

   How to Keep from Being Overwhelmed

   Paul kept going through painful, strained relationships by running to the God of all comfort, asking people to pray for him, staying honest, and living toward the day of the Lord Jesus.

7. Sunday, September 6

   Extending Received Comfort to Others

   Paul says God comforts us in our affliction so that the same comfort can be carried to other people, and that this is what ambassadors of Christ do with their lives. The sermon holds together desperation, comfort passed on, and hope in the God who raises the dead.

8. Sunday, August 30

   Delighting in the Jealousy of God (In the Midst of Pleasure Wars)

   James confronts a church full of fights born from selfish pleasures, and answers it with the jealousy of God, a jealousy that guards his own glory and our good at the same time. The sermon argues that God's honor and our happiness are linked, so going hard after Christ is not white-knuckle duty but the way to joy.
