    The Desires of Your Heart | Psalm 37:1–11

    As we close the Recovering Context series, we walk into what Psalm 37 actually promises. Not the delivery of what you already want. The reshaping of what you want in the first place. God is working on the desires themselves, and the sign He is at work is not the arrival of the outcome. It is the slow, deep discovery that He is what you were always made to want.

    More Than You Can Handle | 1 Corinthians 10:1-14

    We have all heard someone say, "God will not give you more than you can handle." That sentence has done real damage in the church, and it is not what 1 Corinthians 10:13 actually says. Paul is not writing about suffering. He is writing about temptation. And the promise he actually makes is one of the most freeing in the New Testament. This week we recover the context of the verse that has crushed people who were already crushed, and discover a God whose sufficiency reaches into the very places our capacity ends.

    Faithful to the Unfaithful | Jeremiah 29:4-14

    Jeremiah 29:11 is probably the most misused verse in modern Christianity. We have made it a personal promise about a pleasant future, even though Jeremiah wrote it as a rebuke of false prophets who were promising personal pleasant futures. The real verse is not smaller than the coffee mug version. It is far larger. It reveals a God whose covenant faithfulness endures even when His people break faith, and who does formative work in the exile that could not occur anywhere else. This week we recover the context of Jeremiah 29 and discover that the exile is not a season to survive on the way to somewhere better. It is where God is forming us into the people we could not have become anywhere else.

    Content In Anything | Philippians 4:13 | Recovering Context

    Many people have used Philippians 4:13 to summon the strength to accomplish what they wanted. Paul wrote it from a prison cell about learning contentment in plenty and in hunger. The actual promise is not that Christ will help you win. It is that Christ will strengthen you to be at peace no matter what life throws at you.

    None But Jesus | Matthew 17:1-13

    Most of us are not refusing Jesus. We are filtering Him. We hear the parts that confirm what we already believed and quietly set aside the parts that would cost us something. We have made Him one voice among many in a life that is already crowded with louder voices. Matthew 17 is the day The Father settled who Jesus is and how He is to be heard. On the mountain, the Father did not say listen to them all and figure out the consensus. He said listen to Him. This sermon walks through the Transfiguration, the voice from the cloud, and the road down the mountain toward the cross, and asks the question every Christian eventually has to answer. Which voice wins when Jesus contradicts another?

    The Cross That Wounds you | Matthew 16:24-28

    Most of us have softened the call of Jesus until it fits inside the life we had already designed. Most of us have softened the call of Jesus until it fits inside the life we had already designed. We reference the cross, we sing about it, we wear it, but we have not actually taken it up. Matthew 16:24-28 confronts the comfortable middle ground and asks what we are really telling Jesus about His worth when we refuse to carry what He has asked us to. The cross you carry should wound you, and the One who carried His first is worth everything it costs.

    Get Behind Me | Matthew 16:21-23

    When Jesus announces His coming suffering, death, and resurrection, Peter pulls Him aside and rebukes Him, only to receive a startling rebuke in return. This sermon examines Jesus' confession of what lies ahead, the nature of Peter's correction, Jesus' counter-rebuke, and the diagnosis and remedy Peter needed to set his mind back on the things of God.

    Who Do You Say That I Am? | Matthew 16:13-20

    Everyone has an opinion about Jesus. The crowds in His day had their answers, and the world today has no shortage of its own. But Jesus doesn't ask what everyone else thinks. He turns and asks you directly: Who do you say that I am? That question has never been more loaded, and it has never mattered more to get right. What you believe about Jesus shapes everything about how you live, what you surrender, and what you're no longer ashamed of. Peter's answer changed the trajectory of history. Yours might change yours.
