Sermon by Jake Blair on February 18, 2024.

This week, we look at Exodus 32: God's people have left Egypt, but as we'll see, there's still a lot of "Egypt" left in God's people. So, how can we faithfully follow Jesus when external and internal pressures compel us to make God in our image?

Sermon by Jake Blair on February 11, 2024.

This week, we study one of the most prominent characters in the Torah: Moses. In Exodus 3, we'll see how Moses' commissioning raises many doubts and objections and how God replies in a way we may not expect.

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Adam Gibson on January 21, 2024.

This week, we look at our first ghost in the series: Esau. As we will see, the Torah provides us with a cautionary tale -  the danger in trading what you want most for what you think you want right now.

Sermon by Jake Blair on January 14, 2024.

How would you define "faith"? Church culture throws that word around a lot, but it's pivotal in understanding what the Torah and the rest of the Bible want to communicate to its audience. The Bible answers this by showing us the life of Abraham, "the man of faith," in the book of Genesis.

Ghosts & Ancestors | The Two Paths | January 7

SUNDAY
SERMON

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on January 7, 2024.

It’s often said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” 

As we look at the first five books of Scripture, stories abound of those who trusted God and those who did not. Some, through faith, went on to be ancestors who blessed those after them. Others proved to be ghosts that haunt their lineage with heartache and pain. 

As we learn to interpret the narratives in the Torah, both the negative and the positive, we’ll see how God works in the midst of it all and calls us into his story, inviting us to walk in the steps of our ancestors who came before us.
