In this sermon we will look at the temptation of Jesus from Luke 4:1-15. Unlike the first man, Adam, Jesus did not fall to sin. He shows us how to resist temptation through trusting the Word, putting God first, and interpreting the Bible in a way that honors the Lord. Jesus' victory over sin and His death on our behalf makes it possible for us to know God and follow Him.

Luke 3:21-38 will switch our focus from John the Baptist to Jesus. This passage will show us that Jesus is both the Son of God (fully God) and the Son of Man (fully human). Since Jesus is the Son of God, He will one day bring God's judgment because He pleases His Heavenly Father. Since He is the Son of Man, He can understand what we go through.

In this sermon, we'll talk about John the Baptist and his message of repentance from Luke 3:1-20. John called people to repent and prepare for Jesus by bearing fruit and acting justly. Even though John experienced persecution, he kept his focus on the coming One (Jesus) who would be even mightier than him.

We will start a new sermon series on the Gospel of Luke. This sermon will be an introduction to the book and the first two chapters, focusing on Luke 1:1-4. We can trust what Luke writes about Jesus because he is presenting an orderly account of Jesus' life based on eyewitness testimony. This book should give us certainty about the truth of Jesus Christ.

We finish the Book of Amos by looking at 9:11-15. This passage celebrates the restoration that awaits all of God's people at the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Truly we should have hope for the Future!

In this sermon we will talk about how it is impossible to run away and hide from God from Amos 9:1-10. No matter what, He will find us. That's bad news because it means that His judgment is definitely coming. But it is also good news because it means that He will always be with and save His true people, His remnant, who trust in Him.

In this sermon we will be back in Amos. Chapter 8 will look at God's judgment on the Israelites for their selfish sins. There will be death, mourning, and destruction, but the worst part of God's judgment is that He will take away His Word (see vs. 11-12). We'll talk about why having access to God's Word is such a precious treasure that should not be taken for granted.

Happy Easter! During this sermon, we will praise Jesus for His victory over death and look at John 20:11-18. Because of the resurrection, Jesus calls us by name to come to Him today!

In this sermon we'll focus on how the Lord roars His truth through His Word, even when that message is unpopular. In Amos 7:10-17, people try to twist Amos' words and tell him to 'shut up and go home'. But Amos stays faithful to God's truth, even when it's unpopular.

In this sermon we will discover how God can be full of both mercy and judgment in Amos 7:1-9. God does not give us everything that we deserve, because He is full of mercy. But, at the same time, He does not let sin go undealt with. Either Jesus paid for our sins or we will pay for them and experience the Lord's judgment. 

In this sermon we will look at Amos 6. In this text, Amos speaks about the danger of pride. Pride makes us complacent and indulgent. Left unchecked, pride leads to destruction. Instead of pride, we need the humility of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In this sermon we'll turn to Amos 5:18-27. In this passage, Amos attempts to shake his audience out of their complacent attitude toward sin. The Israelites looked forward to the Lord's return. However, they did not realize that on that day, God would judge them for their false worship and lack of justice. As God's people today, we should look forward to the Lord's return, but we should also make sure that we are living in a way that honors Him.

In this sermon, Amos 5:1-17 will challenge us to escape from judgment by seeking the Lord. We will learn that "seeking the Lord" means coming to know Him and living in a way that honors Him.

In this sermon, Amos 4:6-13 will talk about how God may (and often will) do whatever it takes to get our attention. He may use the circumstances in our lives to get us to turn from sin and trust in Him.

In this sermon we will talk about taking God's Word seriously. Amos 3:1-4:5 reminds us that God's Word is reliable, so He will hold us accountable for what we do. The only way to be a part of the remnant that survives is through faith in Him.

In this sermon we'll look at the specific sin issues that God wants to address with the Israelites (and with us) in Amos 2:6-16. We'll talk about things like greed, selfishness, immorality, and exploiting others. God threatens judgment for sins like this, but He also shows us abundant grace through His Son, Jesus Christ.

In this sermon, we will be challenged by the truth that God really does care about and judges sin. Amos 1-2 tells us that God not only cares about the sin of unbelievers and other believers, but about our sin as well. Before we spend too much time condemning others, we should look in the mirror and see if our own hearts are right before God.

In this sermon, we begin a new series through the book of Amos. We look at the opening two verses, which introduce the book and its author and show us how to respond when the Lord roars with judgment. Where do we find hope in the Lord’s passion for justice?

In this sermon we will finish up 2 Peter. In 2 Peter 3:14-18, Peter summarizes and builds on a lot of what he has already covered in the letter. Believers should double check how they live, make the best use of the time God has given them, remain firm in the truth, and grow spiritually.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: "Does my life reflect what I say that I believe?" "Am I growing spiritually?"

2 Peter 3:1-13 will lead us to celebrate the hope that we have in the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His return should give us hopeful expectation in the midst of the difficult trials of life. It should also inspire us to live for and follow Him. As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: "What do I feel when I think about the return of Christ?" "Why should His coming be a source of hope to me?"
