Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Year C-- Fire

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2025

Fire, judgment, separation, crisis, – can bring a new opportunity for growth in faith.

Lodgepole pinecones are very compact, and they will only open to disperse their seeds under intense heat, as in a forest fire. We hear a similar idea today in our Gospel that fire means judgment, which results in separation, creating a crisis, but which also means opportunity. So, fire, ...read more

Adopted: The Father's Great Delight Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 9, 2025

This sermon teaches that God, motivated by His own delight, eternally planned to adopt us as His children through the work of Jesus Christ.

Introduction In our world, adoption is one of the most beautiful pictures of love. A child, often with no hope for a family, is deliberately chosen, given a new name, a new home, and a new future. Last week, we saw from verse 4 that God has chosen us. Today, in verse 5, Paul reveals the incredible ...read more

Mockers (Job 30)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 30, 2025

Is our church safe or mockers?

Do we join the mockers who slander and blame the suffering, or do we seek to comfort the afflicted? Let’s begin in Job 30. Do the most base and untrustworthy of society now mock Job? Do we mock others? But now they mock me, men younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to put with my ...read more

Behold Your King! (John 18:28-19:16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 6, 2022

When we look at Jesus during his trial, what do we see? Who do we see? Also, Pilate should not be read sympathetically. He's not open-minded, and he fears the wrong thing/person.

When you read commentators on the Gospel of John, there are two very different ways to understand our story today, about Jesus' trial before Pilate. Everyone agrees that the focus of today's story, in many ways, is on Pilate. He is the only one in every scene. He's like the glue that ...read more

Hearing The First Six Trumpets (Revelation 8:1-9:21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 26, 2023

The trumpet judgments, are God's call to the world to repent, and come to him. But at 9:21's end, no one listens. A no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation.

Let's begin today by taking a step back, and reminding ourselves of the big picture of Revelation, starting in chapter 5. We need to somehow keep at least three chapters together in our mind, for today's passage to make sense. In Revelation 5, the Lamb, Jesus Christ, suddenly appears in ...read more

People Aren't Hopelessly Wicked: John Is Recommissioned, As Prophet To All People (Rev. 10:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 12, 2023

God's judgments don't stand alone, or work alone. He commissions John, and then the 2 witnesses, to testify about Jesus. People turn, when we obey our commission.

This morning, we have the privilege of working our way through Revelation 10. This is a great chapter. I really enjoyed studying it, and wrestling with it. But it caused me all kinds of fits, because it's a chapter that can't be understood by itself. Until you hear the OT echoes, and ...read more

How Jesus Feels About Idolatry (Revelation 2:12-28) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025

Jesus views turning to other gods, as being sexually immoral to your Husband. Also, the persecution will one day be reversed, and we will rule with an iron rod, if we overcome/conquer.

How Jesus feels about idolatry (Revelation 2:12-28) Today, we will tackle two of Jesus' messages, to two of the seven churches. The first one, that I'll use as kind of skeleton and starting point, is to the angel and his church in Pergamum. About half way through, I'll add in the ...read more
