    Revelation 12 - Advent Revelation Apocalypse pt 3

    In this episode, we dive into the cosmic "weirdness" of Revelation 12. While many get lost in "wild" end-times theories, we stay focused on the central truth: all Scripture points to Jesus. We explore the symbolic war between the Woman (Israel) and the Great Red Dragon, the significance of the "rod of iron," and why the devil’s only weapon—rebellion—is ultimately powerless against those who submit to God. By looking at the imagery of the stars, the dragon's tail, and the wilderness refuge, we discover that victory isn't won by pride or force, but by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

    Advent Revelation Apocalypse part 2 - Revelation 5

    In this second installment of our Advent series, we move from the cradle to the cosmic throne room in Revelation 5. We examine the mystery of the seven-sealed scroll—a perfect, final draft of God’s plan that no one in all of creation is worthy to open. The tension of John’s weeping is broken by the arrival of the Lion of Judah, who surprisingly appears as a Slain Lamb. By weaving together the prophecies of Isaiah and Daniel with the humble birth of Jesus, this sermon highlights how Christ’s submission and sacrifice granted Him the ultimate authority to rule over every tribe, nation, and creature.

    Advent Revelation Apocalypse Episode 1! Revelation 1

    In this kickoff to our Advent series, we bridge the gap between 1st-century prophecy and 21st-century life. Using the imagery of video game "quest clues," we explore how Revelation 1 is packed with Old Testament references. We connect the "I AM" of Moses’ burning bush to the "Emmanuel" of Mary’s manger. This isn't just a book about the end of the world; it’s an apocalypse—a grand uncovering—of Jesus Christ. Discover how the God who was and is also promises to be the God who is to come, proving that His greatest desire is simply to be God with us - Emmanuel!

    Short thoughts on the rough birthdate of Jesus

    This was a communion devotional, but I cut it down a bit for your encouragement. Of all the times the Lord of Heaven could choose to come into the world, this might have been the worst! Or the best. Merry Christmas

    Be Imitators of God - look to Jesus: Ephesians 5 Sermon

    The sermon expounds on the command in Ephesians 5:1 for believers to be imitators of God by actively choosing love and purity. This imitation begins with putting away destructive sins like bitterness, wrath, and malice (Ephesians 4:31) and replacing them with kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness, modeled directly after Christ’s forgiveness toward us (Ephesians 4:32). Imitating God requires believers to walk in love as Christ did, offering themselves up in sacrifice (Ephesians 5:2). Furthermore, the sermon stresses that certain behaviors—sexual immorality, impurity, and covetousness—must not even be named among saints (Ephesians 5:3). Special attention is given to covetousness, which is equated with idolatry because it involves deriving one’s identity from worldly possessions or desires rather than from God. The ultimate warning is that those who live a lifestyle defined by these sins have no inheritance in God’s kingdom. Therefore, because believers are light in the Lord, they must walk as children of light, allowing their transformed lives to become a clear, compelling testimony for Christ.

    Ephesians 4 Sermon, Put On Christ

    In my sermon on Ephesians 4, I contrasted the futile life of a "Gentile," which starts with a hard heart and leads to a darkened understanding, with our new life in Christ. I explained that we're not just improved versions of our old selves; we are a brand-new creation. The old me is dead and buried, and I have put on Christ himself. Because of this, I must live differently. This means speaking truth, handling anger in a godly way, working to provide for others, and building people up with my words, all while putting away bitterness and wrath.

    Rosh Hashannah intro then Ephesians 4

    After a little intro about Rosh Hashannah, I get to the sermon on Ephesians 4. Discover the incredible truth that God can do far more abundantly than we can ask or imagine, empowering us through the Holy Spirit. This sermon, based on Ephesians 3:20–4:7, urges believers to live a life worthy of their calling with humility, gentleness, and patience. The core mandate is to maintain the unity of the Spirit by focusing on the seven foundations we share: one Body, one Spirit, one Hope, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, and one God and Father. Learn how Christ's love enables us to bear with one another and keep the peace in the church. God's Boundless Power and the Call to Unity
