This sermon kicks off our Advent sermon series in the prophecy of Isaiah 9:1-7, and will begin to explore how the light of Christ's coming breaks through the darkness of life in this fallen world.

As we cross into 1 Timothy 4, we'll look at Paul's warning in 4:1-5 about false teachers in the Ephesian church, identifying the marks and the problems with their teachings and applying Paul's teaching to our local church in the 21st century.

In 1 Timothy 3:14-16, we reach the heart of Paul's first letter to Timothy. In this sermon we will reflect upon the three realities that we must stay focused on as a church, in order to grow more faithful to God.

Continuing our verse by verse study of 1 Timothy in this sermon, we'll look at the job, the qualifications, the reward, and the example of a NT Deacon.

What are the biblical qualifications of a pastor? In this sermon, we will dig into 1 Timothy 3:1-7 to see what God requires of local church pastors in every age.

In this sermon we will wade into the muddy waters of 1 Timothy 2:13-15 to dig out the reasons Paul gives in the text to support the prohibition of women from teaching doctrinal instruction or exercising spiritual authority over men in the church. Is 1 Timothy 2:11-15 intended to be oppressive to women? We'll explore that question in this sermon.

This sermon continues our study of Paul’s teaching about the roles of men and women in the local church in 1 Timothy 2:8-15. Here we’ll explore what it means for the men to “pray lifting holy hands” and for the women to “learn quietly with all submissiveness”.

After a 7 month long break from the letter of 1 Timothy, we resume our exposition of 1 Timothy 2:8-15 and look at what God says to us through Paul concerning the roles of men and women in the local church. This sermon will focus on the first 4 of 7 principles in the text about men and women in the church.

After a 7 month break from our study in 1 Timothy, we return back to the letter in this sermon to continue exploring what it takes to build a faithful church. Here we will review the main theme of 1 Timothy and its relevance to today.

What does it mean that Jesus is our High Priest? How should it impact our lives? Dig into Hebrews 5 to find out.

In Matthew 7:13-29, Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount by presenting us all with a choice - a choice between a way of life that leads to the kingdom of heaven, and a way of life that leads to destruction. What are these two ways? And which way will you choose? We'll dig into the conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount in this sermon.

In Matthew 7:1-12, Jesus exposes and leads his followers away from 4 specific temptations in their relationship with God and others. This sermon will seek to unpack the way Jesus guards us against these surprising relational, interpersonal temptations in the Christian life.

In Matthew 6:19-34, Jesus helps his followers examine their deepest motivations and controlling values, and to submit them to the rule of God.

In this study of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:1-18, we'll explore what Jesus says regarding the danger of religious hypocrisy and some specific ways to avoid it.

In this sermon on Matthew 5:17-48, we'll explore the kind of righteousness that Jesus requires of all who desire to live under his saving rule. What does Jesus mean when he says that we must have a righteousness that exceeds the scribes and the Pharisees to enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt 5:20)? What does that kind of righteousness look like? Those questions (and more) will be answered in this sermon.

This sermon kicks off a series through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5-7, known as "The Sermon on the Mount." Here we'll dig into Matthew 5:1-16 and consider 7 ways Jesus describes those who are living under the rule of God.

This sermon addresses 4 questions that were recently asked by the members of our church related to current events.

In this sermon, we'll be wrestling with how the pastors are balancing three biblical priorities as we move forward as a church in the pandemic: 1) meeting together regularly for worship & fellowship; 2) caring for the vulnerable and at-risk; and 3) submitting to our governing authorities. Why have we so drastically trimmed back our corporate life as a church, when Scripture explicitly commands us not to neglect meeting together for worship and fellowship? Zach will seek to answer that question in this sermon.

Pastor Zach responds to 3 questions submitted from the congregation in part 1 of this Questions & Answers series.
