Understanding the Poems of the Old Testament (Psalm 82)

Speaker: Matthew Walker

Series: How to Study the Bible Effectively

Our series on learning to study the Bible effectively continues tonight with a look at one of the poems of the Old Testament. This section of Scripture encompasses the five books between Job and Song of Solomon. The poem we will consider is attributed to Asaph and is part of book 3 of the Psalms. Tonight’s sermon: Understanding the Poems of the Old Testament. (Psalm 82)

Helping Others Follow Christ to the Glory of God (Romans 15:1-7)

On this first Sunday of 2022, let us consider a theme for the year based on our core values of worship, discipleship, and fellowship. These values are the basis of our church philosophy and help to center everything we do as a church. This year, let us think about how these values apply to church-life as we all grow up into Christ

[12/26/2021 AM] A New John 3:16 (John 20:21)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Scripture: John 20:21

Our Christmas series concludes today on a high note as we consider the truth that we have been sent, just like our Lord Jesus was sent. Jesus was sent to do the Father’s will by speaking His words and doing His works. In the same vein, we have been sent to do our Savior’s will by speaking His words and doing His works. This is what God wants for us today.

The Newborn King

Rejoice with us as we celebrate God’s Amazing Gift to the world with the choir presentation of the cantata The Newborn King.

[12/12/2021 PM] The Incarnation: The Mystery of Mysteries of the Gospel (1 Timothy 3:16a)

Speaker: Joseph Jo

Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:16a

What is Christmas truly about? It is about the birth of the second Person of the Trinity—the incarnation of God. Incarnation is one of the most familiar doctrines among believers and yet also one of the most misunderstood ones. Tonight, we will explore what the incarnation of God means and does not mean and then contemplate on its theological and practical implications.

[12/12/2021 AM] The Connection Between Jesus and the Father (John 14:9)

Speaker: Matthew Walker

Scripture: John 14:9

One of the most startling facts from the life of Jesus is that He claimed everything about Him was the result of the Father’s work. His life and ministry pointed people to the Father and His death and resurrection are the reason we can come to the Father. He was clear in His declaration to Philip: “Whoever has seen Me, has seen the Father.”

[12/5/2021 PM] Why Weren’t the Spies Stoned? (Joshua 2:8-15)

Speaker: Matthew Walker

Scripture: Joshua 2:8-15

Series: How to Study the Bible Effectively

We continue our series on How to Study the Bible Effectively by looking at a historical narrative section of the Old Testament. Many people believe that narrative is the easiest part of the Bible to interpret, but there are pitfalls that can really trip up people who read these stories.

The Reason God Sent Jesus (John 3:1-21)

This Christmas season we will be in John’s Gospel looking at the references to Jesus being sent to earth - His incarnation. There are a lot of these references and we will work through them one by one. Today we consider the first of these “sent” passages which came when Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus.

[11/28/2021 PM] How to Understand the Law (Exodus 23:1-9)

Speaker: Matthew Walker

Scripture: Exodus 23:1-9

We continue our series on How to Study the Bible Effectively by examining the opening books of the Old Testament. This will not be a survey of those important books, but an explanation of how to read them so as to better understand what God was doing. Many people misunderstand the purpose and nature of Old Testament Law.

[11/28/2021 AM] The Only Condition is Come (Isaiah 55)

Speaker: Matthew Walker

Scripture: Isaiah 55

Today we will introduce our church memory verses for 2022. Isaiah 55 is one of the most important texts in the entire Bible; some of the most precious thoughts ever written down are there. The overall meaning of the chapter is the universal call to salvation that God makes to the world. As great as this call is, it does have one condition—come. Those who are spiritually hungry and thirsty only need to come and God will give them a rich bounty that eternally satisfies.
