The Glory of the Holy One (Isaiah 66:15-24)

In this sermon, pastor Matt reminds us that those who fail to give God the glory due his name will fall before him. But the good news is that despite judgment, loss, and apparent defeat, the God of Israel is at work to save his people from the power of their enemies.

In this sermon, pastor Keith shows us from 1 Samuel 3 that God is always at work to fulfill his purposes through the ministry of His word. From God's word being rare and Eli's eyes growing dim to all Israel knowing that a prophet is risen in Shiloh, God provided His word and a minister of His word to begin a new thing in Israel. In these last days, God has provided Christ, the faithful prophet we need, who did not let any of God's word fall to the ground.

In this sermon, pastor Matt shows us that, despite corruption in his house, God is always at work to fulfill his purposes. He will provide for the needs of his people both in purging judgment and in preserving mercy

In this sermon, pastor Matt reminds us that, like Hannah, we can rejoice in the God who is at work to turn the world right-side up. Because of who God is and what he is doing to restore all things through his Christ, we should be a people always abounding in joyful praise.

In this sermon, pastor Matt reminds us that *God is always at work to fulfill his purpose especially in hopeless circumstances. He intends to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found. And so we can trust that he will hear the prayers of his people, remember us, and act for our good and his glory.

In this sermon, pastor Mitch shows us that radical generosity in all of life is a hallmark of a Christian. As we consider Paul's instructions on giving to the Corinthians we not only learn principles of giving, but we discover the reasons why we ought to be excited about generosity.

In this sermon, pastor Joel looks at Malachi 3 and Israel’s corruption to show us that our practices of giving are directly related to our relationship with God. What we will see is that how we handle our money reveals the condition of our heart, and what we do reveals what we value. In other […]

In this sermon, pastor Matt looks at one of the few passages in the Law that deals with the concept of tithing. In Deuteronomy 14, we learn what Israel was supposed to do with the tithe, who it was for, and why this act of generosity was crucial for their life and witness as a nation. What we will see is that, while our situation today under the New Covenant has changed, there is an abiding principle of giving we must learn: We honor the Lord with our wealth as we joyfully share his blessings with others. This principle addresses the alignment of our hearts, and whether or not we will live for God according to his word

With Isaiah behind us, and before we start preaching through another book of the Bible, we will be taking the next four weeks to focus on the topic of giving. The purpose of this series is to explain from Scripture why we believe that radical generosity in all of life, as well as faithful giving to a local church, is a mark of a disciple of Jesus. In the first sermon of our series, pastor Keith considers Abraham being blessed by Melchizedek and reminds us that out of a grateful heart comes giving glory to God.

In our last sermon for our series through Isaiah, pastor Matt reminds us that God will make his glory known to all nations in salvation and judgment. Through the gospel, the Holy One of Israel is gathering a worldwide people to worship him forever, but those who persist in rebellion against him and his Christ will not escape the fire of his wrath.
