Easter Sunday, celebrated under Covid restrictions. Mercifully, God is still sovereign, and Christ is risen indeed.

Continuing the series on Psalm 37, focusing on God's promises and faithfulness as the beacon of certainty in uncertain times.

Continuing the exposition of Psalm 37, Pastor Tim shows us ten commands we can obey to turn away, and have victory over, worry.

As we continue through the unusual times brought by the COVID-19 epidemic, Pastor Tim takes us to Psalm 37, to remind us of God's prescription for an uncertain future.

Do you find your satisfaction in God? Pastor Jim Keller asks this challenging question, then shows from Scripture how our satisfaction with God is core to our walk with Him.

One of the hardest things to do is at the core of what it means to be Christian - forgiveness. Opening the teachings of Jesus, Pastor Tim shows us both how difficult and how essential - and amazing - forgiveness can be.

In his letter to the Phillipians, Paul shares how he was content in difficult circumstances because of his faith in Christ. Can we say the same?

A series on 1 Corinthians 13, exploring the nature of biblical love.

On this sermon preceding a communion service, Pastor Tim opens 1Corinthians 11 to share a warning passage about the responsibility we each have as we approach communion.

Doom and gloom are the refrains of the news. Disease, war and even deeply personal disasters are everywhere. Why? From the words of Christ to the Old Testament patriarchs, the Bible resounds with the message that God is sovereign, He ordains everything, and His plan is for the best. In turn, we must respond in faith.

What do we do with our time? We have a choice, and our choices either honor God... or they do not. Pastor Tim opens scripture to show us a path to learning how to best use our time for the glory of God.

Angels appear throughout the Christmas story. As God's messengers, they have a diving message to share - but also set an example for how we are to behave as human followers of Christ. 

We are called by Scripture to "be thankful in all things"... but how, and why in the face of so much that is wrong in our lives? Pastor Tim shows us the simple yet profound answer.

In his gospel, John shows the divinity of Jesus. Karl Seele dives into this oft-told story to show us anew the amazing truth of Christ coming to us as a child.

If our lives were summarized in an epitaph, what would it say? What would it say if God were writing it? Join Pastor Tim as he examines the life of King Herod, and finds lessons for how we should live showing that how we live now will have an eternal impact.

Not one word of the Gospels is out of place or random. They all show a different revelation of Christ. Together they reveal the glory of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

What is Advent for, if not to thank God for the gift of his Son?

It is a sad and sobering truth: it is well possible to know God and His word, yet resist obeying him. In our continuing series in Hebrews, Pastor Tim calls us to identify and put aside these behaviors in our lives.

James in his epistle rightly asks, "What is faith without works?" Pastor Tim continues his teaching based on the previous sermons, showing from Scripture the imperative to not only follow godly examples but also actively imitate them.

Building on the last sermon, Pastor Tim shows us a deeper aspect of being coachable - seeking after godly examples to follow. 

A characteristic measure of the best athletes is not their ability- but that they will take advice and leadership. In the same way, are we coachable as Christians, following after Christ and imitating the godly?

What we think of prayer, and what we ask God for tells us a lot about how much we trust in Him. Pastor Tim shows us how.

There are times when life simply runs us over. Pastor Tim shows us from God's word how faith in Christ is our sure hope, even when life seems to be too much.

The most unique name God gave for Himself has been "I am!" Jesus used this phrase consistently in His ministry. Karl Seele takes us on a tour of the many times Jesus said "I am!"

Continuing on the theme of service - do we serve like a soaker hose, letting everyone around experience God's love indiscriminately? Or do we withold service and sacrifice, depending on our mood or whims? Pastor Tim shows us from scripture what true service looks like, and how we should be willing to live.

At the Last Supper, Christ's disciples argued over who would be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus responded with a powerful and humble object lesson - he washed their feet.  As we continue our pursuit of the 90 day service challenge, Pastor Tim expounds on this pivotal text to show us what it really means to serve one another.

The temptation to sin is an unpleasant reality in the Christian life. Pastor Jim Keller walks us through some key Bible passages to help explain what temptation is, and how the Christian can be victorious despite it.
