In Matthew 2:1–12, the Magi journey from far away, guided by a star and driven by a deep desire to find the King. Their search reveals a powerful contrast: some respond to Jesus with fear and resistance, while others respond with worship and joy. This sermon explores what it means to truly seek Christ—and how encountering Him always calls for a response. The Magi remind us that Jesus is not only revealed to the religious or the familiar, but to all who are willing to follow the light God provides. Their gifts, their joy, and their worship invite us to consider how we respond when we encounter the true King.

In Luke 2:29–32, Simeon holds the Christ child and finally finds peace. After a lifetime of waiting, hoping, and trusting God’s promise, Simeon realizes that the future is no longer uncertain. In Jesus, the waiting ends—and so does the “if.” This sermon explores how Jesus takes the IF out of life. No longer do we wonder if God will keep His promises, ifsalvation will come, or if God is with us. Holding Jesus, Simeon sees God’s salvation made visible for all people—a light for the nations and the fulfillment of every promise. In Christ, our lives are no longer shaped by uncertainty, but by peace, confidence, and hope. Music: “Summer” by Benjamin Tissot (Bensound)Used under a Royalty-Free Licensehttps://www.bensound.com

Zechariah’s song erupts in praise after a long season of silence and waiting. In Luke 1:68–75, he blesses God for keeping His promises and delivering His people, proclaiming a salvation that is both powerful and personal. This is not only a song of celebration—it is a song that teaches us how to live. This sermon explores how Zechariah’s words call us to live without fear, walking in holiness and righteousness before God all our days. His song reminds us that when God acts to save, our lives are reshaped in response—freed to serve Him with confidence, gratitude, and hope.

In Mary’s song, she declares, “My soul magnifies the Lord.” To magnify is not to make God bigger, but to make Him clearer—to bring His greatness into focus for the world to see. In Luke 1:46–55, Mary shows us a faith that responds to God’s grace with praise, humility, and trust. This sermon explores what it means to live a life that magnifies the Lord—recognizing what God has done, rejoicing in His mercy, and reflecting His greatness in how we live. As Mary’s song reminds us, when God is magnified, the world is turned right-side up and hearts are drawn to His saving work.

This Christmas Eve sermon from Luke 2:1–15 proclaims the heart of Christmas with two simple words: for you. While the world moves according to power and empire, God enters quietly through a child born in a stable. The angels’ message of good news and great joy is personal—Jesus is born for you, bringing peace, hope, and salvation. Christmas is not just a story to hear, but a gift to receive.

Joseph reached the wrong conclusion about Mary and her child—until God revealed the truth. What looked like failure was a miracle, and that truth didn’t just change Joseph’s mind; it saved him. The miraculous birth reminds us that we often misunderstand what God is doing, but God graciously reveals the truth that rescues us and invites us into His saving plan. A sermon on Matthew 1:18-25.

Isaiah 49 reveals Jesus as the Servant of the Lord—called from the womb, faithful in suffering, and sent as God’s saving light to the world. At the same time, this Servant shows us who we are called to be: servants shaped by God’s grace, living faithfully in our daily callings, and bearing His light for the sake of others.

Jesus’ family tree is full of broken, overlooked, and even scandalous lives—and God used every one of them to bring glory. In this sermon snippet, we consider how we often identify ourselves by our sin and shame. Jesus comes to do that - to identify with our shame. But that's not all. He comes to take our shame on himself and give us glory in its place.

Advent draws our eyes forward—to the God who comes near, who steps into our world not with power and spectacle, but as the Servant of the Lord promised through the prophet Isaiah. Across these three midweek services, we listen to Isaiah sing of the One who brings comfort to the weary, restoration to the broken, and salvation to the ends of the earth. Isaiah 35 paints a world bursting with restoration—deserts blooming, the weak strengthened, and the ransomed returning with joy. As we wait for Christmas, Isaiah helps us see the heart of the Messiah: the Servant who comes to comfort, to heal, and to save. Come, and behold the Servant of the Lord.

From God’s family tree to the worship of the King, the story of Jesus grows through generations, miracles, and songs of praise. Each week, we’ll trace the unfolding of God’s plan - from deep roots in promise to hearts lifted up in worship. Come and see how God works through ordinary people, unexpected moments, and even you. From roots to rooftop, this is the story of our Savior. God’s story in Christ begins with a family tree full of real people - heroes, sinners, and everything in between. Though this messy, beautiful lineage, God shows that his promises never fail. Even when we can’t see the patterns, his grace is weaving something good. Jesus’ roots run deep, and by faith, we’re part of his story too. A sermon on Mathew 1:1-6a.

Advent draws our eyes forward—to the God who comes near, who steps into our world not with power and spectacle, but as the Servant of the Lord promised through the prophet Isaiah. Across these three midweek services, we listen to Isaiah sing of the One who brings comfort to the weary, restoration to the broken, and salvation to the ends of the earth. Isaiah 40 announces a Servant who draws close with comfort—speaking tenderly to His people and preparing a highway of grace straight into our wilderness. As we wait for Christmas, Isaiah helps us see the heart of the Messiah: the Servant who comes to comfort, to heal, and to save. Come, and behold the Servant of the Lord.

When we hear the Parable of the Minas, we often jump straight to stewardship— how we should faithfully use what God has given us. That’s certainly an important application, but it’s not the primary point of Jesus’ story. This parable is first and foremost about the King and the nature of His kingdom. It’s about His authority, His return, His reign, and the kind of trust and allegiance He calls forth from His people. Only when we see the King clearly do we understand what faithful living truly looks like. A sermon on Luke 19:11-28

In Zacchaeus we see what happens when Jesus’ grace breaks through hardened hearts and tangled lives. One encounter with the Savior produces a response that is immediate, joyful, and radical. Zacchaeus doesn’t try to buy Jesus’ love—he simply receives it. And that love frees him to let go of old patterns, repair past harm, and live with open hands. When Jesus finds us, salvation doesn’t just change our status… it changes our lives. Grace moves us to respond boldly, generously, and joyfully. A sermon on Luke 19:1-10

In the story of the rich young ruler, Jesus reveals a trap many of us fall into: the love of wealth and the illusion of security it gives. To gain true, abundant life, Jesus calls us to let go of what holds us captive—our possessions, our comforts, and anything that keeps us from fully following Him. True freedom comes when we step out of the trap and into His Kingdom, trusting Him above all else. A sermon on Luke 18:18-30.

Jesus teaches us to live with eyes open to His Kingdom—which is already present among us because He is present. Attentive living means we don’t drift through life clinging to what is temporary, but stay awake to what truly matters. Like the people in Noah’s or Lot’s day, it’s easy to be absorbed in daily routines and miss what God is doing. Jesus calls us to watchfulness, readiness, and a willingness to loosen our grip on possessions so we can hold fast to Him. We live today with resurrection hope, alert and anchored in Christ. A sermon on Luke 17:20-37.

In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus confronts us with a sharp contrast: one man carefully keeps his wealth, the other clings only to faith. When eternity comes, the difference couldn’t be clearer. The rich man’s treasures couldn’t cross the great divide—but God’s Word could have bridged it long before. Jesus calls us to a different kind of keeping—not the tightfisted keeping of possessions, but the faithful keeping of his Word. True security isn’t found in what we hold onto, but in the One who holds onto us. A sermon on Luke 16:19-31

Jesus tells a surprising story about a dishonest manager and a generous master—not to praise dishonesty, but to reveal the genius of living with kingdom-minded wisdom. The master’s generosity opens the door for the servant’s shrewd action, and together they teach us something vital: God entrusts us with his resources not to hoard, but to handle them carefully and purposefully for his mission. Shrewd stewardship means using earthly things in ways that make an eternal difference—managing what God gives with wisdom, creativity, and a heart aligned to the generosity of our Master. A sermon on Luke 16:1-13

In Noah’s day, God flooded the earth with water—but He also flooded Noah with mercy, sparing him from judgment and giving him new life. Through Jesus, that mercy still flows. God now floods the earth with His grace—and we respond with lives of joyful generosity. A sermon on Genesis 8:15-22

In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells the story of a widow who refused to give up and a God who never fails to listen. Prayer can feel discouraging when answers are delayed or silence lingers, but Jesus teaches that persistence is an act of faith. We keep praying not because God is reluctant, but because He is faithful. Through prayer, our hearts are shaped, our trust deepens, and our hope is renewed. Even when heaven seems quiet, God is working—and He invites us to keep praying and never lose heart.

Christians don’t just exist for Sunday mornings—we are sent into the world with a mission: our vocations. Whatever our calling—parent, spouse, worker, student, or retiree—our daily work is holy because Christ has made us holy. In worship, we come as beggars in need of grace, and God forms us again in his image. Then we go out, scattered across the city, to worship him in the way we love, serve, and work. Where will you be this time tomorrow? (Colossians 3:12–4:1)
