The sign of God at Christmas means that Yahweh himself delivers and saves. It means that he keeps his promises and is true to his word. To the hard-hearted, the coming of Immanuel portends certain doom. But to the faithful, who welcome and receive him in their weakness and finitude, the coming of Immanuel signifies … Continue reading The Sign of God →

Where do you turn when the going gets tough? Turn to Jesus Christ, the one who suffered for you. He has entered into the depths of the human condition, conquered our greatest enemies, and freely shares the plunders of his grace. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 30

Who better to turn to when times are dark than the one who alone has the power to transform darkness into light! Jesus Christ offers what you and I need most: Not information or knowledge of the future, or the means to control nature or fate, but intimacy and fellowship and communion with the living … Continue reading Into the Darkness →

Speaker: Karl Bowden Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 24 and Psalm 57

The story of David and Goliath teaches us that having God and his word at the center of your life changes the calculus entirely. What matters is not having instruments of human power by your side, but the one true God of Israel who saves. In his eyes, the real heroes who make a difference … Continue reading For the Glory of God Alone →

At our time of deepest despair, the word of God comes to remind us that God is in control. He has chosen his Anointed One, and his plans and purposes can be trusted. It is up to the people of God to choose to trust him. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 16:1-13

Yahweh is the kind of God who invites people into his plans and purposes. As Saul is revealed to be a failure as king, hope still remains. God will raise up another, a man after his own heart, from whom will come the King of all Kings! Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 13:7b-14

Despite Israel’s hardness of heart, God was determined to make a people for himself. He is looking for those who will put away all their substitutes and seek not just his will, but God himself. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 8

God’s voice has not gone silent, even amidst our own wicked generation. He still deals patiently with people and speaks powerfully through his word—the word entrusted to his church that has been given a window of opportunity to proclaim it to the world. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 3:1-14

The way God works in the life of the individual reflects the tendency of his ways. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No situation is too big for him. No person is too small for him. His providential purposes not only incorporate, but often rest upon, hopeless, impossible situations.

All throughout Luke, the crowds are seeking out Jesus, but on the threshold of Jerusalem Jesus declares that the Son of Man has come to seek out us. He wants to come into your house, to make his home in your heart, and to offer what only he can offer. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come … Continue reading A Gracious Invitation →

On the outskirts of Jericho, the one who couldn’t see at all was the one who saw Jesus best. Like him, as oasis of grace is available to all who look to Jesus in faith and see him for who he really is. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come Scripture: Luke 18:35-43

The exasperation of Jesus is not the result of our inability, limitation, or need, but our unbelief, particularly when we have already experienced his grace. He has come to reveal himself and work in deeper ways than our own small minds can imagine, and he asks for us to truly listen to him and believe … Continue reading Holy Exasperation →

The touch of Jesus has the power to heal what is truly broken, to affirm the existence and value of another, and to grant peace to those made sons and daughters of God by grace. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come Scripture: Luke 8:42-48

Jesus knows the true content of each person’s heart. He has descended right into the midst of our brokenness and need. He makes himself known in ways that result in our healing and forgiveness. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come Scripture: Luke 5:17-26

Everywhere he went, the crowds were drawn to Jesus for a reason. For at least one woman, it was the invitation to come to him just as she was. He offers the same to you. Come to him, have faith, and receive the peace and blessing of God. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come Scripture: Luke … Continue reading True Welcome →
