Jesus the King of Glory - Psalm 24 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who is worthy to stand in the presence of a holy God? Psalm 24 asks that question directly, and this sermon traces the answer all the way to the ascended Christ. A guest preacher walks through Psalm 24 as the third psalm in a trio that moves from priest, in Psalm 22, to prophet, in Psalm 23, to king, in this psalm, tracing three scenes, God as creator over all the chaos of the world, the question of who may ascend God's holy hill, and the celebration of the King of glory entering through the anc
A Desert Baptism (Acts 8:25-39) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An Ethiopian official reading Isaiah on a desert road becomes the occasion for one of the clearest gospel conversations in the book of Acts. Pastor Jim Osman preaches this account as the message for the church's annual baptism service, an exposition of Acts 8:25-39. Osman traces how an angel sent Philip, called the evangelist and one of the original seven deacons in the early church, away from his successful ministry in Samaria to a lonely stretch of desert road at noontime. There he meets a hig
Praying and Practicing Trinitarian Theology (Ephesians 1:3-14) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How does believing in one God who exists in three persons actually change the way you live?

He works through Paul's list of spiritual blessings i
Trinity in Unity (John 1:1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can you define and defend the doctrine of the Trinity without slipping into heresy? Pastor Jim Osman puts that challenge to the congregation in this exposition of John 1:1 and selected Scriptures. Osman lays out a working definition of the Trinity, that within the one being of God there exist eternally three co-equal and co-eternal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, then breaks that definition into three pillars. There is only one God. There are three divine persons. Those person
The encouragement of our elders (1 Timothy 5:17-21) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it actually look like to honor your elders instead of just showing up on Sunday morning? Shepley Osman, son of pastor Jim Osman, tackles that question directly in this Sunday school lesson from 1 Timothy 5:17-21. Working through three commands Paul gives Timothy, Osman shows that a healthy church actively participates in the work of its elders in three ways. Pay your preachers, since those who labor at preaching and teaching are worthy of double honor. Protect your elders, refusing to
