This week's passage is one of the greatest texts on Christ and His nature in all of scripture. The majority of this passage is widely recognized as an early Christian hymn that Paul uses to ground his call for the Philippians to walk in humility...
After Paul’s reflection on the joy he finds in Christ even amidst uncertainty, he now offers a significant exhortation to the Philippians: to live in a manner worthy of the gospel. When he speaks about our “manner of life,” he is referencing our...
In this week’s passage, we see the apostle Paul share his perspective on suffering and how the Lord is at work in the midst of those difficult circumstances. Where should we turn when there is little hope in our earthly status, resources, or goals?...
In chapter 1:3-11, we will study Paul's praises to God for the Philippians, and how he prays on their behalf. Paul's thanksgiving shows us the mutual love that is evident between the apostle and those who he ministered to. The Philippian...
This week, we will begin a series looking at the book of Philippians. Philippians is a short epistle written by the apostle Paul to the church in the city of Philippi that he helped plant (see Acts 16-17). This letter was written to the Philippians...
As we consider the growth of both major U.S. cities and rural areas, the need for new gospel-preaching churches is clear. Since the need for church planting is great, what can compel us to the radical sacrifice and service required to pursue such an...
This Sunday we will conclude our 3-part study through the book of Habakkuk. We have watched Habakkuk raise his complaints to God and witnessed God's gracious answer. In chapter 3, we read Habakkuk's final words to God in light of the coming...
As we continue our series in Habakkuk, we see in chapter two that the prophet waits faithfully on the Lord and His promise. After asking God how He could use the wicked Babylonians to bring judgment upon Judah, we see Habakkuk display faith by...
The Book of Habakkuk was written during a time of instability and idolatry in Israel's history. It begins with the prophet seeking understanding from the Lord on why He is withholding salvation and deliverance from His people. The Lord responds...
Is the Christian faith something we can pursue on our own, lone-wolf style? Or do we need mentors, instructors, and friends to grow? The Bible makes it clear that we cannot run the race alone—but we need encouragement from the examples of those who...
In this final sermon on Miracles in the book of Mark, we will explore a unique miracle in Mark 11:12-23. On His short trek to Jerusalem from Bethany, Jesus in his hunger sought fruit on a fig tree, but found none. In response, he curses the tree...
This week's text focuses on a healing Jesus performed for a blind man named Bartimaeus outside of Jericho. This miracle is performed during Jesus' final journey to Jerusalem where he would soon suffer, die, and be raised. In comparison with...
This week we will be studying the cleansing of the boy with an unclean spirit. After the glory of Jesus was revealed through intense light in the transfiguration, He next encounters the intense darkness of demonic oppression. The scene begins with the...
This week we encounter Christ's glory revealed in the transfiguration. After Peter confesses that Jesus is the Christ, Jesus begins to share with the disciples about his coming death and resurrection. This would have come as a shock with 1st...
Our series through miracles in the book of Mark continues with Mark 8:1-10 where we will meditate on the feeding of the four thousand. This account is part of an interesting pattern where Jesus performs miracles among the Gentiles that He had...
As we continue our series on the Miracles of Jesus, we will see that the miracle in this week's passage serves ironically as a mere backdrop for Jesus' fascinating interaction with a pleading mother. After debating purity and cleanliness...
This Sunday, we begin a sermon series looking at the miracles of Christ from the gospel of Mark. It’s important that we understand that Jesus was not a mere wonder-worker, performing signs to amaze the masses. His miracles were calculated to reveal...
This week we are moving forward a few chapters in Matthew’s Gospel and studying Jesus’ encounter with a rich young man who wants to inherit eternal life. At first glance, his question seems sincere, but Jesus perceives that the motivation behind the...
This week's passage can be quite jarring at first glance. What do we make of the unforgivable sin? How do we ensure we don't accidentally commit this sin? As we will see, "accidentally" blaspheming the Spirit isn't possible...
