Servanthood

Pastor Dave takes the pulpit to present a message about servanthood. The gospel saves us into a life of service, first to God and then, as an expression of that service, to others. Join us as we read Matthew 20:20-28 while seeing that service is motivated, modeled, and empowered by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Generosity

Today, we turn our focus to generosity. While reading 2 Cor. 8:1-15 and 9:6-15, we will see that generosity comes from understanding the Gospel and being willing to help others, as God has helped us.

Gratitude

Today, we look at the shaping virtue of gratitude. All gospel benefits are received as undeserved gifts from a gracious God. The only appropriate response to such generous grace is gratitude. A thankful heart is cultivated the more we remember, understand, and appreciate all the ways the Lord has blessed us in the gospel and through his common grace, by which he “richly provides us with everything to enjoy.”

Encouragement

Today, we look at the shaping virtue of encouragement and how it’s portrayed in the Bible. Encouragement is not merely patting someone on the back or offering a kind word. Biblical encouragement is lifting up the saints by holding up Christ and His gospel treasure in order to strengthen them for joyful service to him.

Humility

Pastor Dave York looks at the shaping virtue of humility. The Lord promises to bless the one “who is humble and contrite in spirit” (Isaiah 66:2). Humility is an accurate view of God and ourselves. It is foundational to all other shaping virtues, because without humility we will experience neither the desire nor the grace necessary to cultivate them. The gospel humbles us as we come to grasp that “by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). This humility before God prompts humility toward others. In keeping with Jesus’ example, we are commanded, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).

A People with a Memory

Devon Kauflin delves into 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, emphasizing the crucial role of remembrance in the Christian journey. Drawing from Paul’s reminder to the Corinthians about the gospel they received, Kauflin underscores the transformative power of recalling Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. He points out that just as Paul’s life was radically transformed by this foundational truth, so too should believers continually ground their identity and purpose in it. Through thoughtful exegesis, Kauflin invites his listeners to be a people rooted in the memory of the gospel, ensuring that its truths remain central in their lives, leading them to a deeper faith and active witness.

The Practical Nature of The Great Commission

In Ephesians 4:7-16, the apostle Paul elaborates on how the Great Commission is intrinsically woven into the fabric of the Christian community. The culminating message is clear: when Christians, equipped with truth and driven by love, act in unity, they effectively demonstrate and declare the gospel of Jesus both near and far, fulfilling the Great Commission in a tangible manner.

The Great Commission

We’re excited to announce a fresh sermon series by our very own Pastor Dave York! As we journey deeper into the heart of the Gospel, it’s time we turn our attention to one of the most powerful mandates Jesus gave His disciples: The Great Commission.

I Cry Out

The psalmist cries out to God in deep distress and sorrow. Throughout the psalm, the writer describes his feelings of isolation, abandonment, and overwhelming affliction. He continually seeks God, mentioning his constant prayer and seeking the Lord’s attention. The tone is desperate, as the writer portrays himself as being among the dead and forgotten. This psalm offers an honest expression of deep anguish and serves as a reminder that it is okay to bring our raw emotions before God. It represents the real human experience of feeling distant from God, even when seeking Him earnestly.

How Long, O Lord?

No matter how bleak the situation, or how distant God may seem, we can always turn to Him and find reassurance in His promises. The key is to shift our focus from the size of our problems to the vastness of God’s love and grace.

God Is on the Throne

Psalm 47 is a song of praise and triumph, a declaration of the universal reign of God. The psalmist speaks of God’s rule over all the nations and His sovereignty over the entire world, emphasizing the rightful worship and exaltation that should be given to God because of His supreme power and rule.

Hope in God

Psalm 33 is a beautiful text that points readers to one simple but profound idea: Praise the Lord, for our hope in Him is sure.

A Throne with No End

Psalm 102 acknowledges the fleeting and fragile nature of human existence but finds comfort and hope in the eternal nature of God. The psalmist’s distress leads them to cry out to God, who remains constant amidst the temporal challenges of life. Ultimately, the psalm points to a future restoration and a renewed hope in God’s enduring faithfulness.
