Pastor Ryan Cox | Jonah | Jonah 2:1-10 | The prophet Jonah is an excellent example of how you don't have to be a perfect person to encounter God and to learn the lesson that God has for you. Jonah's stubbornness took being swallowed by a fish to correct, and in the time he spent in the creature's stomach, he realized the power of God's grace.

Pastor Ryan Cox | Seeking in Darkness | Psalm 88 | We have all cried out to God in times of hopelessness and loss, feeling overwhelmed by our circumstances and the weight of our troubles. But in this darkness, there is the greatest potential to encounter God's light.

Aaron Mayhew | Hannah | 1 Samuel 1:1-18 | Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel, was experiencing a profound pain which we might consider to be depression in today's terms, until her encounter with God reframed her experiences and brought about great blessing, not only in her own life, but in the lives of many others.
The post Hannah – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | Moses | Exodus 3:1-14 | Without a view of eternity, our timing often conflicts with God's, and we don't understand it. Moses' story in Exodus is a fantastic example of how encountering God's timing can lead us to greater faith.

Aaron Mayhew | The Wrath of God | John 18:1-14 | God's wrath is not blind; like God himself, it is perfect: Justified and controlled, but consuming. When Jesus died on the cross, he interposed himself between us and God's wrath.
The post The Wrath of God – Good Friday – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
David Brower | A God of Love | John 3:14-18 | The expression "God is Love" has become a truism, and is spoken in so many contexts that its meaning has been watered down. Christians today must come to know and understand God's love specifically through both studying what the scriptures say about it, and experiencing it for themselves. This experience can take an act of willful surrender.
The post A God of Love – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | A God Who is Holy | Joshua 5:13 - 6:5 | An angel of the Lord appeared to Joshua on the eve of the Battle of Jericho and spoke to him in a way that helped Joshua to understand God's holiness. When we better understand what it means to say that God is holy, we can also understand what it means when Christians are called to be holy.
The post A God who is Holy – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | A God Who is Sovereign | Psalm 8:1-9 | God's sovereignty sometimes makes him feel distant from us. How can someone who oversees all of creation have time for an individual person? But as we learned last week, God is a god who can be known, and who knows us personally.
The post A God who is Sovereign – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | A God Who Can Be Known | 1 John 1:1 - 2:2 | Welcome to our new series, "Knowing and Encountering God." It can be difficult to think of the Christian God as someone who is real, knowable, and personal, yet scripture assures us that He is. One of the first steps in encountering God as knowable is to look at the person of Jesus.

David Brower | Uncommon Good: Serving Your Church | 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 | The Church has always been more than just a place where we worship and learn; the Church is the people who attend it. When we serve the Church, we're not just filling a role at an organization, we're acting as part of the body of God's people. We will close the series called Uncommon Good with a reminder that the love of God for his people, and the love of God's people to each other is at the heart of service.

Aaron Mayhew | Uncommon Good: Serving Your Neighbor | Luke 10:25-37 | Jesus gave the world an ideal example of what it means to love and provide service to your neighbor in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Although we aren't always confronted with obvious examples of when our neighbors are in need of our service, there are things we can do to be vigilant for opportunities to serve in the name of God.

David Brower | Uncommon Good: Serving at Work | Genesis 1:26 - 2:3 | The topics of work and labor are in the public spotlight right now as issues of fair pay and reasonable expectations of employers and employees alike are debated. It's a good time to remind ourselves of what the Biblical view of work is, and how the faith that Christians have should drive their attitudes and expectations about their jobs.
The post Uncommon Good: Serving at Work appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Aaron Mayhew | Uncommon Good: The Foundation | Jeremiah 29:1-14 | In the midst of uncertainty, God told the remnant of his people not to give up celebrating the joys of life: Growing good food to eat, falling in love and getting married, making homes and having children. The exile they were experiencing was going to end, and in the midst of it, God did not want them to lose sight of their future renewal. It is tempting to abstain from the things we consider blessings when we perceive that times are hard, but God says that there is hope in continuing in these celebrations.

Pastor Ryan Cox | Belief: The Art of Persuasion | Acts 26: 22-32 | How are we persuaded something is the truth? As we have all seen in our lives, it's often not enough for something just to make rational sense. The beauty of the Christian gospel is that when you read it and understand it, you find it rational, but also capable of satisfying you in ways that nothing else on this earth can.
The post Belief: The Art of Persuasion – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | Belief in Life Everlasting | Revelation 21:1-6; 22:1-5 | The Bible promises those who follow Jesus the hope of everlasting life. This hope should shape the way we look at this present reality, our healthy and bodily circumstances, and the way we comport ourselves in our communities. The hope of everlasting life is transformative.

Pastor Ryan Cox | Belief in the Holy Spirit | John 14:15-26 | We believe in the Holy Spirit. But who is the Holy Spirit? What does it do? How do we experience it? This teaching turns to Jesus' Upper Room Discourse for answers.

Pastor Ryan Cox | Belief in Salvation | Ephesians 1:3-10 | This week we resume our series about Belief in the Age of Skepticism with a message about Salvation and the spiritual blessings that come with it. What are the spiritual blessings, and how can we know we have them?

David Brower | Christian Community | Colossians 3:11-17 | We're continuing our break from our ongoing series this week with a sermon about some traits of the Christian community. Though the family of Christ is founded on the person, life, example, and teachings of Jesus, it is a community of confessed sinners. Because of this, we must practice the peace that only our Messiah can bring us.
The post Christian Community – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Aaron Mayhew | Endurance Through Affliction | Romans 12:9-21 | We're taking a break from our ongoing series this week to hear some encouragement and a teaching on Christian endurance. The endurance of a Believer may look different than simply continuing to exist against the odds. Christian endurance builds humility and wisdom, and lends itself to forgiveness and reconciliation.
The post Endurance Through Affliction – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | Belief in the Resurrection | Acts 13:26-39 | We believe the third day Jesus rose again from the dead. The resurrection of Jesus Christ was a fulfillment of the law that is the lynchpin of Christian salvation. For Christians, the Resurrection promises a future that includes us, and in which we can confidently place our hope.
The post Belief in the Resurrection – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | Belief: The Incarnation | Luke 2:1-14 | We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. The reality of the incarnation of the Savior offers us a great source of hope and satisfaction.
The post Belief: The Incarnation – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | Belief: The Nature of Sin | Genesis 2:16-17 | What is sin? How did it come to exist? What can be done about it? And maybe most importantly, by what authority does Jesus claim to have died for the forgiveness of sins?
The post Belief: The Nature of Sin – #SEVERNONLINE appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.
Pastor Ryan Cox | Belief: Properties of God | Exodus 3:1-14 | This week we want to focus on four properties of God: That He is real; that He can be known; that He is paradoxical; and that He transforms us.
