Did God Reject Israel? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Israel’s present unbelief raises an important question: Has God rejected the people He chose and to whom He gave His promises? In Romans 9–11, Paul answers that question by showing that Israel’s election, present unbelief, and future restoration all fit within God’s sovereign purposes. In this sermon, we consider how God’s sovereignty helps us understand Israel’s present condition and gives us confidence that His promises have not failed. Rather than judging God’s faithfulness by what we present
God’s Covenant Purposes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the opening sermon of the series God’s Program for Israel , we examine the biblical foundation for understanding Israel’s place in God’s purposes. Beginning with God’s call of Abraham, we consider Israel’s distinct identity, God’s covenant program, and Israel’s role among the nations.

Read excerpt

This message examines the faithfulness of God and calls us to trust His Word even when circumstances change or we cannot yet see how His purposes will be fulfilled.
The Sure Word - 2 Peter 1:19-2:3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a world filled with competing voices and claims about truth, how can Christians recognize what is true and guard against spiritual deception? In 2 Peter 1:19–2:3, Peter points believers to the sure and authoritative Word of God. Scripture provides reliable guidance in a spiritually dark world, comes from God through the work of the Holy Spirit, and exposes the false teaching that seeks to lead God's people astray. In this sermon, we consider how believers can stand firm by paying attention to
Serving the Body Well (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Acts 6:1–7, the early church faced a practical problem that threatened its unity: some widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution. The apostles responded by involving the congregation and appointing qualified, godly servants to meet the need. In "Serving the Body Well," we examine how the church serves faithfully by meeting needs with wisdom, fulfilling the ministries God has entrusted to us, and advancing the mission of the gospel together. Acts 6 reminds us that ministry is not
