There are many things in this small passage that don't seem to make sense to a modern mind. Peter is speaking the gospel into a particular time and place. Peter wants to teach us how the Church should engage the state, how the Church should engage injustice and how the Church should engage the way of Jesus Christ. We pray that God will draw you closer to Him through this sermon on 1 Peter 2.

We are priests exiled together for the glory of Christ and the life of the world. We pray that God will draw you closer to Him through this sermon on 1 Peter 2.

Find out why Thomas needs to see a scarred God, and why we need Him now more than ever. We pray that God has drawn closer to you in this sermon on John 20. Please consider subscribing to our channel.

It's so hard to acknowledge that you need help. But it's even harder to ask for help if you're able to accept that you need it. Where does our help come from? Jesus gives us a window into this in the upper room. He says the helper is coming , but first He must leave us for a while. Would you rather see Jesus face to face or have The Helper indwelling you. Jesus says the helper is better. But do we really believe that? We pray that God has drawn closer to you in this sermon on John 16. Please consider subscribing to our channel.

The way that Jesus talks about discipleship is different than the way we think about discipleship. We might hear people ask "How do I find eternal life in Jesus?" But what if someone asked... "How do I find new life in Jesus right now?" Well... the answer is easier than you might think. Because God is close to you even know. He's lifting you up, holding you, and pruning you so that you will be a branch that bears good fruit! We pray that God has drawn closer to you in this sermon on John 14.

It's hard to imagine the humiliation of this scene where Jesus steps up from the table and wraps towel around his waist and begins to wash the disciples feet. There's just no modern contextual equivalent. It's quite literally the most scandalous and shocking thing Jesus could have done that night. In this sermon on John 13 we look at why Jesus humiliates himself to wash his disciples feet, and why it's so hard to follow this footwashing God.

The downward spiral of Judges culminates in this story. It's hard to read. There was no King in Israel, and everyone did what was right in their own eyes. Where that led them was so dark, so barbaric, and so horrific. The writer wants us to sit and fully understand the depths of evil that have overtaken the people of God. In the midst of all that depravity and evil, Jesus calls out to us in the silent sacrifice of the woman in this story. Join us on the journey to study the scripture and grow closer to Christ.

The story of Samson has been told by the likes of veggie tales and C.S. Lewis, but is by no standard "Safe for the whole family". In this sermon on Judges 16 we see God extending grace to Samson in his death. As we look to find Jesus in this passage it may be hard to see. Where is the "good news" in this story? Where is the gospel? Where is Jesus? He is the better Samson. So Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up!

Judges 4 begins... "the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD...(so) the LORD sold them into the hand of the king of Canaan". In this story of vengeance and violence you might ask, "how does this passage point to Jesus"? It might be hard to see, but in this story, God is keeping His promise to bring a savior to crush the head of the serpent!

John is killed in this passage for doing what he was born to do! That is call people to repent and follow God. Many questions could be asked about this. Like, "Why didn't God protect John?" or "Why did God punish Him for doing His will?" But a better question is "What does this passage mean for you?" Find out with us as we dive into Matthew 14:1-12.

Why does God not heal His people when they call on His name? This is surely the question in John's mind when he he asks Jesus "Are You The One?" And why wouldn't Jesus deliver John of all people? Instead John remains in prison and dies a horrible death. These are the hardest of questions but we can begin to unravel the "why" in Matthew 11.
