This message explores both the Palm Sunday crowd and the crucifixion crowd, Romans and Jews alike. It challenges us to consider how we categorize people, especially those we deem evil or comparable to those who stood at the foot of the cross and mocked Jesus. Do we truly see people as redeemable?

As we approach Passion Week, this sermon focuses on the moment when Jesus needed help. The image of Simon carrying the cross is an intentional picture given to the Church, revealing that God chooses to co-labor with humanity in the fulfillment of His eternal plans and purposes, as displayed through the gospel.

This is the story of two different kings making offers to Abram in Genesis 14. The king of Sodom and the king of Salem present Abram with a choice that feels very familiar to us all.

Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that studies knowledge. In simple terms, it asks: How do we know what we know? What is the source or foundation of our knowledge or beliefs.

There are many titles given to the Messiah in the Old Testament: Mighty Warrior, Cornerstone, Branch, Son of Man, Redeemer, and Deliverer, to name just a few. But have you ever considered one of the more obscure titles given to Him: the Tent Peg? This message explores that powerful and often-overlooked image.

I also highly recommend the book Gospel of the Skull Crusher by Joel Richardson, which I used as a resource for this sermon and others in the message series loosely titled Big Picture. You can find the book here:

When death comes to those we love, we have “more than a memory”, we have a hope. This message is about that hope: the resurrection of the dead, because He was resurrected from the dead, what Paul calls “a fact.”

This message examines the four covenants given to Israel in the Old Testament, the fourth of which is the New Covenant. It explores the New Covenant in a way you may not have considered before.

This message asks a simple yet profound question: Who is the aggressor, the Church, or the “gates of hell”? The classic discourse of Matthew 16 is approached with a fresh perspective.
