    The Word Aflame, Turning the World Upside Down - Jer 23:29; 1 Thes 2:13; 2 Tim 3:16-17; Heb 4:12

    This Sunday is the final talk at our Revival & Reformation Summit. Our theme this year is The Word of God. God's "job" for the Word is not just to make us better little boys and girls. It is that, and it is more than that. Listen to this episode from Pastor Jed’s sermon on November 2nd to learn more.

    The Tip of the Spear: The Christian Borough - Acts 2:32-47

    This week we have our final installment in our series on missions. And it turns out that understanding missions requires understanding the church. Because God's ambition has always been His mission to have the nations, and His primary tool in that great empire-building project is the church. Listen to this episode from Pastor Jed’s sermon on October 26th to learn more.

    Like Salt and Light - Matt 5:13-16; 1 Cor 9:19-23

    This week we consider two different but related passages on the relational work of missions. What should it look like, between people? Jesus says we are “salt and light,” and Paul says we should be “all things to all people.” Both are necessary for our witness to be effective, over there and right here. And as with so many things in life, we learn to do both by, well, doing both.

    To Share Christ's Ambition to Rule the Nations - Rom 15:14-21

    This week we consider the "ambition" of Paul. Ambition is a concept that has fallen on hard times in the church. That's because we are wary of it going wrong. But the Bible is very clear: ambition is a good thing. It only goes bad when it is aimed at the wrong things. Verbs are defined not by themselves but by their objects. If our greatest ambition is for self-glory, self-satisfaction and self-preservation, there's nothing Christian about that, and Jesus says we won't even find that. But if our greatest ambition is for the Father's name to be hallowed, then we will accomplish that, and receive the kingdom to boot. God strikes good bargains with His people: give up your life, and I will hand it back to you, free from death, secure, and full of glory. Listen to this episode from Pastor Jed’s sermon on October 12th, 2025 to learn more.

    The Great Commission - Matt 28:16-20

    This week we begin a new four-week series on missions. Missions has been often misunderstood and sometimes corrupted in the past, and yet our forefathers went far and sacrificed much for the spread of the gospel. We want to walk faithfully in their footsteps yet never repeating their errors. We want to follow our ascended Lord wherever he leads.

    The Suffering Servant - Isaiah 53

    This week will be our final look at Christ in the Old Testament. We will finish on the most important passage, the famous Isaiah 53. I hope it is known to you. If not, I encourage you to familiarize yourself with it before Sunday. There are too many riches for us to consider all of them in one sitting. This is why many people consider this section of Isaiah the "New Testament in the Old Testament" - where God's work in Christ is most clearly pictured.

    The Rock That is Christ - Ex 17:1-7

    The texts we are considering this week are a thread through Scripture that teach us several things at once: how Christ is portrayed in the Old Testament; how Christ has a massive bearing on the events of the Old Testament; and how God is nourishing us to salvation. The big lesson is that we neglect these gifts to our peril. God gives His gifts so that His children would enjoy them fully, not leave them on the shelf to rot.

    What Man Meant for Evil, God Meant for Good - Gen 50:15-21

    This week our nation learned about two monumental deaths: the horrific, unprovoked murder of Iryna Zarutska and then just yesterday, the assassination of Christian apologist Charlie Kirk. As the president said, these are dark times. What we do in such times is dependent on *what story we think we are living in.* For instance, if we think we are living in a nihilistic J.G. Ballard story with no good ending, we will become fatalistic, inert and depressed. But the Christian reaches for his Bible. The stories of the Bible are there so we know what story *we* are living in. This week we will consider the story of Joseph, which three times "features" the evil of man. But . . . "what you meant for evil, God meant for good - for the salvation of many."
