That You May Know - Exodus 6:26-7:25
Who's the boss, applesauce? Who runs the show, buffalo? Who's in command, rubber band? In today's sermon Pastor David answers this very question as we finish up exodus 6 and head into chapter 7. We see that Moses and Aaron begin to lean who is the Captain of their souls, and they repeatedly display this by doing what the LORD commands. We will also encounter Pharaoh's refusal to have the LORD reign over his life, or even recognize Him at all. So, who's steering this ship, potato chip? Have you accepted the authority...

The Promises of God - Exodus 4:31-6:13
In this sermon, Pastor David introduces us to the seven "I Will" statements of Exodus chapter 6, while giving us their context starting in 4:31 and going through 6:13. When we get to chapter 6 we see the unfolding of the great and precious promises of God there within. The promises of deliverance and redemption, adoption, and inheritance found chiefly in verses 6-8. The end goal is in sight even as early as the book of Exodus - To love God and enjoy Him forever.Exodus 6:6-86Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the Lord, and I...

Sent to Speak for the LORD – Exodus 3:16-4:31
In this portion of Scripture the Lord shows Himself to be merciful, gracious and slow to anger as Moses resists the Lord's command. Moses questions the Lord, he makes excuses, he refuses and then he compromises. In this sermon Pastor David explains how we need to learn from Moses's mistakes.Exodus 3:16–22 Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt, 17 and I...

A Prayer of Confession - Psalm 51
Psalm 51 is a Prayer of Confession that's actually genuine. With all the celebrities, and even celebrity Christians falling into public sin, only to be followed by half-hearted contrition, or none at all, it's necessary to come back to this psalm and experience what godly sorrow looks like. Whereas so many leaders of country's and cults have hideous sin in their lives, David stands out as one of few that actually chart a course to repentance. When a Muslim apologist was faced with having to deal with the pedophilia of Muhammad, he side-stepped and mentioned David's infidelity. But...

None of us likes to be told what to do. We want to be our own boss, to call the shots, but the Bible warns us that there is a King over all the universe and it's not you or me. In this sermon Pastor David explains that rebellion against the Almighty means certain destruction, so we must bow the knee to Christ the King.

The Church Must Send Missionaries
This Sunday Pastor David reminds us that the Great Commission isn't optional, but a command from the Lord.18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

If Christ promised He would build His church, what are the means by which He does it? In this sermon Pastor David explains that God saves souls through our proclamation of the Gospel, through our evangelism. God uses His people to accomplish His saving work. Christians are the means God uses. We must proclaim the Gospel with boldness and pray for God to save souls through it.

As the representatives of God's Kingdom on Earth, it is important that the Church is one unified body expressing the same saving message, regardless of denomination or ethnic/cultural history and life experience. It's not that the Father sent Jesus so that those redeemed by His sacrifice could have a lack of individuality or independent thought, but that our independent thoughts would be guided by the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures of His inspiration, so that we would be of the same mind on the things of God's grand narrative. In this sermon, Pastor David explains that we might...

We were made to be in community, to do life together with fellow church members.So we have a responsibility to care for one another in the church. In fact, church membership is a commitment to care for one another. In the sermon Pastor David examines various New Testament commands about how we as a church must care for one another in thought, word and deed.1 Corinthians 12:12–27 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in on...

The Church Must Worship By the Book - Hebrews 12:28-29
Everything the church does in a worship service is intentional and that's because nothing we do in a worship service is neutral. Each element of worship either teaches about the God who is there or about a god of our own imagination. Therefore, we should seek to have each element of worship be as biblical as possible. We must worship by the Book.

Who Serves the Church? - Acts 6:1-7, 1 Timothy 3:8-13
Every Christian is called to serve. Jesus cares so deeply about His church serving one another that He actually gives us living examples of how to serve. These super-servants are called Deacons. In this sermon Pastor David describes the formal church office of Deacons and why having Deacons is so crucial in the life of the church.1 Timothy 3:8–15 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. 9 They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 And let them also be tested first; then let them se...

Who is in Charge of the Church - Matthew 28:19-20, 16-18, Ephesians 5:23
Many people have a negative view of authority because it is so often abused, but the answer to abusive authority is not no authority, but good and proper authority. According to the Bible, authority is a good thing. It's a blessing. Godly authority is designed to protect, strengthen and help those under it flourish. In this sermon Pastor David explains that Christ is in charge of the church and He rules it by His Word and through delegated authorities. Matthew 28:18–20 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to M...

Stop Criticizing - Matthew 7:1-6
Perhaps one of the most misunderstood statements of Jesus is Matthew 7:1 where He says "Judge not". In this sermon Pastor David explains that the command to “Judge not” may initially sound like a blanket prohibition, but the context demonstrates Jesus was forbidding a specific kind of judgment. Jesus was forbidding harsh and hypocritical judgment, while calling for helpful judgment. That is Jesus was actually teaching His followers how to lovingly correct one another with humility.Matthew 7:1–6 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use...
