Our God is a pursuing God!

This sermon draws connections between earthly relationships and our relationship with God, calling believers to a deeper understanding of fidelity. The message concludes with practical advice on confronting sexual temptations and a heartfelt prayer of repentance inspired by Psalm 51.

The power of words can bring life or death. They can either build up or tear down. Jesus reminds us in the book of Matthew that our speech reflects what is in our hearts, and we are accountable for every careless word we speak.
As Christians, we are called to work hard and be diligent in all that we do. Hard work is not only for success, it also glorifies God. When we work hard, we are using the talents and abilities that God has given us to their fullest potential.
To understand the roles and responsibilities of deacons we must look to the ultimate deacon, Jesus Christ. In this sermon, we go through Mark 10:35-45 to see how Jesus was truly the ultimate deacon.
Although it may be hard when things seem hopeless, or out of control, trusting God is always the wisest thing to do. Through Proverbs 3:1-12 we find out why wisdom begins with trust.
What is wisdom and from where does it come? Do we simply gain it through our own experience or the school of "hard knocks"? Through this sermon, we will be going through Proverbs 1.
From Psalm 70 we learn about one of the fundamentals of the Christian Faith; prayer. David models the urgency of bringing our concerns to God, praying for justice, as well as for God's greatness while demonstrating his own submission and humility before God.
At the end of Isaiah we are given one last glimpse into Zion, the new heavens and the new earth.
Although attracted to many other things, God has created us to be attracted to, and find ultimate satisfaction in his glory. In Isaiah 60 we find that the city of God is the greatest attraction of all time.
From Isaiah 59 we see that Christ has come to buy us back from our bondage to sin. Only he is able to stand as our redeemer.
Returning to Isaiah 56, we see that the local church is charged with carrying out the mission of God to bring the gospel to all peoples. As people who have received mercy, we are called to follow Christ into the brokenness of this world to welcome in the hopeless, the outcast, the others who have not yet believed.
Revival is when God comes down to make himself overwhelmingly real to us. But the message of Isaiah 58 is that God will only awaken us as we truly humble ourselves, acknowledge our need and willingly spend ourselves in the needs of others.
Christianity is about the awakening of your soul to God. We learn about true revival from Isaiah the Prophet in Isaiah 57.
From Isaiah 55, we see that humanity is offered an endless supply of feasts, but only one will truly satisfy. God's invitation is for us to come to His table freely offered to those in need, where we will find forgiveness, lasting satisfaction and joy.
From Isaiah 53:10-12 we see three ways that the resurrection of Jesus confirms the miracle of the gospel.
From Isaiah 53:4-6 we see one of the major themes of the gospel—substitution. The suffering servant stands in our place; he heals our deepest pain, endures our just penalty, and carries our guilt far away.
In one of the most quoted sections of Isaiah we meet God's servant—one who will be highly exalted and given glory, but only after he endured great suffering. According to the early Christians, Jesus Christ was the suffering servant that Isaiah had promised over 700 years before his birth. In this message we will trace the gospel displayed in Isaiah 53.
Almost one year to the day after the start of the Covid pandemic, we took time to slow down and remember God's faithfulness over the last twelve months. Pete especially wanted to draw our attention to how God's faithfulness to us has been seen through our faithfulness to one another as the body of Christ.
From a people in captivity in Isiah 40, we learn that God's Word is trustworthy and the King of glory is faithful to forgive sin through the saving work of his son, Jesus Christ.
In Isa 36-37 we learn from the life of King Hezekiah what it would look like for God, the King to unseat all the lesser kings who seek to dominate the throne of our hearts.
Death is part of the curse and judgement that God pronounces over the people in Isaiah 24. But God has promised that there is refuge for his chosen one's. On Zion, all the people of God will celebrate the triumph of their King and the end of all suffering.
Sharing from his own testimony in chapter 12, Isaiah joyfully proclaims that God is the beautiful music of salvation that has come alive in us.
The unbelief of King Ahaz in Isaiah 7 is a window into our own hearts. Like Ahaz, in the most difficult, threatening seasons of life we are more likely to trust in our schemes and plans rather than to trust in the heart of a faithful God.
Nothing will be more practical or relevant for the coming year than a transformed, life-altering vision of God.
Carey Robinson begins a Wednesday night series on things we have learned in the midst of a Covid pandemic.
From Isaiah 11 we learn that Jesus is the promised King and that his kingdom will be a peaceful kingdom.
One of the things we learn from Isaiah is that God is the only one who brings true, lasting hope. In Isaiah 9 Hope comes in the form of a child who will reign as king forever.
Apart from the bad news of the curse, there is no good news of the beautiful and righteous reign of Christ on the earth. Isaiah reminds us in chapter 4 that the "branch of the Lord" will bring joy, restoration and healing to all the earth.
This is the first Sunday of Advent, and the first Sunday in our preaching series from Isaiah, Your Kingdom Com. Today we are in Isa 1:1-6, "The Holy One of Israel".
One of the most natural, beautiful, and life-giving thing that the church ever does is to multiply. In Matt. 28:19-20, Matthew wants every disciple to feel the thrill and responsibility of the mission to make disciples.
Finding your voice is not just for pastors. Every single disciple of Jesus is called and empowered to voice the gospel. Here are five things that we learn about evangelism from Romans 10.
Although Peter and John had no formal training, they spoke with passion and conviction when they were brought before the Jewish leaders in Acts 4. We learn that gospel boldness is not about swagger or arrogance and overconfidence, rather it is a freedom to speak, combined with a growing understanding of the gospel. The person who has tasted the healing power of God cannot help but speak about what they have seen and heard!
Our salvation is all the work of God for us through Christ, but Paul reminds us at the end of 2 Corinthians 5, that everyone who has experienced the reconciling power of God is now an ambassador of the grace of God.
Pastor Xavier Torrado, from Redeeming Grace Church and our mission partner in Puerto Rico, points us to three important marks for the Christian Life from Acts 20.
From Philippians 1, Pastor Pete expresses his thanks to the church for their grace and support of him and his family.
Fear can keep us from acting on the God-given desire to tell others about Jesus Christ. In 2 Corinthians 5, we learn that the love of Christ is the key to overcoming fear in gospel conversations.
On Covenant Renewal Sunday we learn from Luke 14 that Jesus makes a radical call to those who will follow him. God's grace is absolutely and amazingly free, but it is not cheap, and it will cost you something.
From Luke 15 we see that God tirelessly and passionately pursues sinners. Jesus is the friend of sinners, and scandalously so. This is the second sermon from our Multiply series.
From Jesus's parable in Luke 14 we're reminded of the urgency to communicate the gospel to those who have not heard. God wants to use us to speak hope into chaos.
In Psalm 69 we see that those that God loves still face suffering, and that suffering may come because of our faith in God. But because Jesus entered into our suffering and ultimately gave his life on a cross for our sins, our suffering is not eternal, but through him brings us redemption and reconciliation to God.
Psalm 68 celebrates God's care and protection for his people—and not just for his people, but for gentiles who do not yet know Him.
In Psalm 67 we see that God's blessings are not reserved for the people of Israel, but in order that through them, the nations would be blessed. We are recipients of that blessing, and are called to bless others through the overflow of God's grace to us in Christ Jesus so that all the nations would come to know and receive the gospel.
As image bearers each of us have an important story to tell, because we were made by God for his glory. In Psalm 66 the psalmist declares the personal story of what God has done for his soul.
In Psalm 65 David praises God who so generously pours out abundant grace to those he loves. He praises God for his grace in creation, provision and redemption.
In Psalm 64 David pleads for justice but also gives a vivid picture of sin and how it operates.
In Psalm 63 we read of David's praise lifted to God in spite of dire circumstances, and we discover that the deep well of God's lovingkindness will satisfy us more than any other source.
Who is able to rescue us in crisis? Who is strong enough to protect us when enemies seek to destroy? David's answer in Psalm 62 is, "the Lord is my salvation."
Psalm 61 shows us one of the paths to trusting the Lord in the midst of hardship and pain. Pastor Michael Wu reminds us that when we go to the Lord in prayer, remember his faithfulness and begin to trust again in his promises, we will be able to give praise to our God who changes sorrow into Joy.
How do we overcome suffering? The Psalmist calls us to sing through our feelings of abandonment and rejection. In Psalm 60 we see David cry out to God, find hope in the promise of God and a renewed dependance on the Lord for the battle before him.
The Gospel calls us towards unity. Following the example of Christ, who did not strive to please himself, we seek to live for others and the glory of God. From Romans 15:1-7, we're reminded of the beauty that arises from a church that seeks to live in harmony with one another.
Have you ever made an uncharitable judgment on someone. The gospel calls us to a better way of life. We continue in our One Another series from Matthew 7.
From Matthew 18, we learn that confession of sin to one another is a vital part of church health. Confession of sin helps to build trust with one another and enables the church to authentically represent the gospel to the world.
Preaching from Hebrews 10:19-25, we learn that because God has drawn near to us in Christ, we are now called draw near to one another.
From John 13 we learn Jesus' command to love one another. Our love for others should be like the incarnated, sacrificial, and irresistible love of Christ for us.
The disciples were convinced that Christianity was highly relational. It is all the more important for us to learn to treat one another in a way that reflects the gospel of Christ. From Galatians 5:13-15, and 6:1-5 we will see the importance of moving away from self, and towards the service and care for others.
One of the grace outcomes of this pandemic has been to rediscover the importance of stepping towards one another. This Sunday we begin a series on the Christian One Anothers found in the New Testament. From Romans 16 we're reminded of the importance of greeting, accepting and extending hospitality to one another.
From 2 Corinthians 4, we see that the Jesus Christ has brought resurrection life to all those who believe; life that starts now, is getting heavier, and is not always easy to see.
Death is forever defeated thru the victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. His victory brings salvation to all who believe. We believe this with our hearts, and confess it by sharing God's saving grace with others.
On this Palm Sunday we mourn the effects disease, sin and death are having at this moment in our world. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matt. 5:7). Let's pray, fast, and mourn for a world and the shadow of darkness that looms over us right now.
Preaching from Acts 2, Vince Oliveri reminds us of the shared life we experience because of the gospel. As a community of people changed by the gospel we express our awe of God through worship, we practice love for one another through fellowship, and we demonstrate the life-changing power of the gospel by stepping towards neighbors and others in need.
Returning to our series from the Apostles' Creed, we see from John 14, four promises of what the Spirit of God desires to do in us today.
On a morning when the church would normally gather for worship, Pastor Pete, Chip, Allen, and Carey Robinson bring a few words of encouragement and hope from the Scriptures.
We feel the weight of injustice all around us. The second letter of Peter tells us that the return of Christ is certain, and that we can find hope in the great leveling righteousness of Jesus. This is the tenth sermon in a series on the Apostles' Creed.
One of the more underrated stories from the Gospels, the ascension of Jesus is the sign of God's glory, and stands as a confirmation of all that the Savior said, and did.
From 1 Corinthians 15 we see that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the lynchpin of the gospel—without it our faith would be in vain. This first 5 minutes of the sermon includes a conversation with Jake Schemm about the role of the Apostles' Creed in the development of his faith.
From Acts 2:22-32 we're reminded that Jesus fully experienced death—body and soul. In his descent to the realm of the dead, Jesus defeated death and reversed the curse sin, so that his descent is where gospel victory began. This sermon is the seventh part of the series on the Apostles' Creed.
Preaching from Isaiah 53, we discover the beauty of the gospel in the suffering of our Savior. This is part 6 from a series on from the Apostles' Creed.
From Luke 1 we're reminded of how great is this mystery—that the Son of God, being truly divine, would through his birth also become truly human. God chooses to unite himself to the human race in the only possible way for salvation to occur.
Preaching from four key passages, Carey helps us to see that Jesus is the invisible God made visible.
On the last Sunday of every year Pastor Pete preaches on the importance of developing spiritual habits or disciplines. Preaching from Philippians 4, Pete challenged us to learn contentment and find that Jesus Christ is enough.
We are reminded in John 21 that the gospel is a love story. It's the story of how God's love pursues, restores and transforms a lost people.
From John 20 we learn that that faith can't be generic, but must rest in in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
From John 20 we learn that Jesus has the power to say, "Peace be still," and to rebuke the wind and the storm that comes in the form of your greatest fear.
From John 19 we learn that God uses death to give life, suffering to grant hope, and from the ashes of destruction comes beauty, peace and new life.
From John 19 we see that Jesus bore his own cross willingly, fulfilled the promise of scripture, and died as the true King in order to complete the work of salvation on the cross.
From John 19:1-16 we learn that Jesus overcame our shame. Enduring suffering and humiliation on our behalf, he reversed the curse of sin and shame on the cross.
As Jesus goes on trial in John 18:28-40, we learn that there are three kingdoms that seek to capture the affections and loyalty of our hearts: the kingdom of religion, the kingdom of the world, and the kingdom of Christ.
Preaching from John 18, Vince Oliveri reminds us, that like Peter, we are flawed and broken disciples who need a perfect Savior.
Even in the times where we are betrayed, we have a Savior who identifies with us. Preaching from John 18, Pastor Jesse Furey, reminds us of the cosmic battle that happened as Jesus was betrayed by one of his own disciples.
We see that God's glory was the first thing for which Jesus prayed in John 17. Deep and lasting change start when we behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
From John 17:6-19 we learn that in his last hours Jesus prayed that God would keep his disciples faithful, grant them joy, make them holy, and send them on mission.
Preaching from John 17, Pastor Pete calls the church to cultivate unity in the gospel; a unity that is fueled by the abiding love of God, and practiced by those who have been changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In John 17 we learn that, even knowing what he knew about his disciples, Jesus prayed for perfect unity among his disciples and all who would believe the gospel because of their teaching.
Although sorrow and suffering are unavoidable on this side of Eden, Jesus tells his disciples that these will not compare with the joy and peace that are still to come on the other side of the cross.
In John 15:26-16:11, Jesus promises that the Spirit of God will abide with the disciples, bringing hope in the face of persecution. The Holy Spirit enables us to love the world and oppose the world at the same time.
Preaching from John 15, Pastor Michael reminds us that persecution will come to those who follow Christ. The world hated Jesus for no good reason, and if the world hated the Master, they will hate those who follow him.
From John 15 we find that to abide in Christ is to discover promised love—in the most life-giving of all relationships.
From John 14:15-31 we see four ways that the Spirit of God makes good on Jesus' promise. He enables love of Jesus, sustains the teaching of Jesus, brings the conviction of Jesus and grants the peace of Jesus.
From John 14 we learn the essential message of Christianity; that through Jesus Christ we can personally know and trust in God the father.
Preaching from John 13 Pastor Jon shows us how Jesus' humble act of foot-washing is a symbol of the sacrificial love that takes Christ to the cross on behalf of those he loves.
From John 12 we see that the gospel of Jesus is not just a New Testament idea, rather it is deeply woven into the fabric of scripture. All of scripture testifies to Christ.
From John 12, we're reminded that thru death comes life, thru sacrifice comes spiritual gain.
The resurrection of Lazarus, in John 11 is not just a sign of God's power, it also a statement of his great love and compassion.
Returning to John 10, we're reminded that although most people love the idea of a good and gentle shepherd who cares for and protects us, we are not as comfortable with the reality that like helpless sheep, we are desperately in need of a shepherd.
From John 8 we learn that we're not to seek our own glory, or to live for the approval of men, but instead to stake our lives on knowing God and walking in delightful obedience to him.
From John 9 we learn that seeing Jesus and believing in him is the means by which we can truly see everything else.
Preaching from John 10, Pastor Chip reminds us that the heart of the gospel is that the most valuable One, Jesus Christ, the Shepherd of infinite worth, lays down his life for us.
From John's gospel we learn that Jesus Christ frees us from the bondage of self, sin and Satan.
From John 8, we learn how Jesus stoops down to offer mercy to those who least deserve it.
