Lamentations reflects poetically on the exile of Judah, the sacking of Jerusalem, and (most critically) the destruction of the temple. Exile presented a theological crisis for the people of God: What of God’s promises to Israel? What of God’s blessing upon the people - including land, security, a king on David’s throne, and the promise of his presence among them? Without ever presenting easy answers to these difficult questions, and with barely a note of hope, Lamentations wrestles with how J...

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday begins with confession of sin. In confessing our sin, we realize how deeply and desperately we nee a Savior. Jesus is our Savior who set his face to Jerusalem, enduring the punishment and death our sin rightfully deserves. We gathered this Ash Wednesday in sorrow and celebration as we began the Lenten season around Luke 9:51-62. “The aim of Ash Wednesday… is threefold: to meditate on our mortality, sinfulness, and need for a savior; to renew our c...

The final Sunday of 2025, Pastor James preached a standalone sermon from Matthew 25:1-13. The bridegroom reveals that trying to predict Jesus’ return is a waste of time. The wise bridesmaids reveal that those who stay ready and endure will share in eternal joy. The foolish bridesmaids reveal that careless faith and false confidence lead to rejection. False Affections vs. Gracious Affections: What do I love most about God?How do I respond when following Jesus becomes hard?Am I willing to let...
The Christian faith is all about doctrine. But belief is not an end in and of itself. Belief is meant to deepen our communion with God and stir us to worship. From this ancient creed, we learn much about who the God we worship really is. We learn about “the God we love.” May we know him deeply, and in turn worship him truly. Through the Advent season, we will study God's Word through the Nicene Creed. “Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you sh...

This Sunday we paused our current series in Hebrews for a standalone sermon from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. So also you have sorrow now, but I will see ...

Genesis 6:5 2. The purpose of pain ...
