1. A New World
Contributed on Apr 7, 2024
To get to know God, we should start at the very beginning. What does the creation narrative teach us about our God?
This morning we’re beginning a new series titled “Making All Things New.” We’ll be spending eight weeks looking at how God interacted with His creation and chosen people, laying the groundwork for everything to be in place to send His Son into the world. Growing up, we watched “The Sound of ...read more

2. A New Identity
Contributed on Apr 20, 2024
The world has led us to believe that we can identify ourselves to be anything we want to be, but how does God look at us?
My sermon illustration experts at McDonald’s were asking whether I had been including them in any of my sermons recently, so I decided to ask them this question. If a random person on the street walked up to you and asked, “Who are you? Tell me about yourself,” what are the identifiers you would ...read more

3. A New Life
Contributed on Apr 27, 2024
Satan is known to twist the truth and, unfortunately, we've all fallen for it one time or another. What has God done to restore a new life for us?
Back when I was just getting started in ministry in St. Louis, I got out of my car to head into the ministry center where I lived and worked. A young man pulled up in his car, rolled the window down, and asked me if I could break a $10 because the laundry mat only takes singles. I knew I had the ...read more

4. A New Covenant
Contributed on May 5, 2024
God has made covenants with His people throughout history. What has He done to establish a covenant with us?
Read Genesis 12:1-3. Pray. They say April showers bring May flowers, but what do May flowers bring? That’s right, Pilgrims. I got to thinking about the Pilgrims because William Bradford, their first governor, had written that the Pilgrims came to the New World to escape the persecution ...read more

5. A New Calling
Contributed on May 12, 2024
God calls us to be holy as He is holy. Is this even possible? Consider these thoughts about how we are holy.
From the beginning of time, God has desired to have a relationship with people. We saw it as we looked at the new creation when God placed everything under mankind’s dominion. It was evident as we looked at the new life as we saw how God provided even after people messed things up by listening to ...read more

6. A New Prophet
Contributed on May 15, 2024
Moses' writings conclude by stating there has not been a prophet like Moses since, yet he tells us a new prophet will come. Who is this prophet and what does it mean for us?
A New Prophet- Deuteronomy 18:15-22 We are the New Testament Church. As such, we like to study the New Testament. After all, that’s where we learn about Jesus. That’s where we see how the church was formed. That’s the part that prepares us for what’s to come. Sometimes, we get ...read more

7. A New Leader
Contributed on May 25, 2024
God knew even before Israel became a nation that they would desire a king like other nations. What can we learn from their choice to reject God and apply it today?
Tomorrow is Memorial Day, a day designed to honor those who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy in our nation today. It began shortly after the Civil War as Decoration Day- a time to put flowers and other memorabilia at the gravesites of those who had sacrificed in memory of what they had ...read more

8. A New King
Contributed on Jun 1, 2024
Despite his faults, God chose David to be king, a man after God's own heart. How does David point us to Jesus and what does this mean for us today?
As part of my sermon research this week, I had to watch the movie Rudy. As you may know, it’s about a young man who dreamed of playing football for Notre Dame. Most people had written him off- he was too small, he didn’t have the grades to go to college, and even if he did, he couldn’t afford the ...read more
