February 26, 2023 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Based on John 19:1-16, this sermon considers the idols driving the actions of Pilate and the Jewish crowds. Pilate and the crowds are "beholding" the wrong things, for they like all of humanity must behold Christ, the Lamb of God.
February 19, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - In this dramatic scene described in John 18:28-40, Pilate operates out of fear, the crowds operate from anger, but neither Pilate nor the crowds operate from truth.

February 12, 2023 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - This sermon based on John 18:13-27 considers Jesus's trial before Annas, especially how they compare to Peter's "trial" before the crowds.

December 11, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - In John 15:18-16:4, Jesus tells his disciples they can expect the world to hate them, just as it hated Jesus. This sermon explores what that means for us today and reminds us to take heart because the Spirit is at work helping us to stay focused on Jesus.

October 30, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Based on John 12:44-50, this sermon considers Jesus's "last lecture" in John's Gospel. This final teaching of Jesus which caps off his public ministry explains that Jesus came not to judge the world but to save it.
October 23, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Based on John 12:12-43, this sermon considers the crowd's expectation for Jesus in light of what he actually came to do: "fall down" and be "lifted up," as Jesus describes it.

January 2, 2022 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - In Genesis 25:27-34 it appears that the selfishness of Jacob and Esau is driving the story, but actually God's sovereign grace is in the driver's seat, working out his purposes. God's amazing grace is driving the Christian's story, too.
December 26, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The birth of Jacob is marked by struggle: struggle with barrenness, struggle within the womb, and struggle outside the womb during the delivery.

October 10, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) – Sin disintegrates lives, communities, families, and creation. We see in this passage how Lot’s city and home disintegrate under God’s judgment of Sodom.

September 5, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The story of Abraham gives a rich picture of the life of faith. In this important passage, we see that biblical faith doubts and waits. God can handle both our doubts and waiting because his promises depend on his faithfulness, not ours.
August 29, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - The dramatic rescue of Lot by Abram and the subsequent blessing of Melchizadek give us two pictures of what sin does to a person and two pictures of how a life of faith shapes a person. While sin cuts us off from God and bends us inward, faith enlarges the heart and extends it outward.
August 22, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - We would all like to be more generous toward others and courageous in the face of difficulty.

August 15, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - We see God's grace and faithfulness to his promises even in the midst of Abram's failures (and they are big!).

August 8, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Abram moves out in obedience from Haran to the land of promise. We see in this passage that Abram's journey is our journey, marked by grace, gratitude, and going.

July 25, 2021 (Wilson Van Hooser) - Just as Adam and Eve's moment in a garden proved pivotal for all creation, Jesus's moment in a garden was pivotal for the re-creation of the world.

May 30, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - Jesus's healing of the blind man brings his claims made at the Feast of Booths into sharp focus, helping us to see the places where Christ works, the pace at which he works, and the nature of the work he's doing in the world.
May 23, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - This sermon considers what Jesus has to say about human freedom. Jesus tells us that we are enslaved spiritually and he offers a way to freedom that confounds modern understandings of freedom.
May 16, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt) - This sermon considers Jesus's claim of being the light of the world. As the light of the world Jesus has the power and willingness to lead us, who walk in dark, out of the darkness and into his light.

March 28, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt)- Mark's account of the triumphal entry shows us King Jesus's control and care, the very things we seek in one who we entrust our lives to. We also see the crowd's confusion that would, over the course of the week, develop into cries for his death.
March 21, 2021 (Jared Wheeler) - Jesus feeds the five thousand. The crowds, having witnessed Jesus's miraculous healing, determine to exalt Jesus as king. We learn, though, that Jesus's kingship is not determined by the will of the crowds, but by the will of the Father.
March 14, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt)- The Jewish leaders challenge Jesus's work on the Sabbath. Over the course of this text, Jesus turns the tables on the Jewish leadership, prosecuting them for their failure to listen to God's witnesses. In the process, Jesus lets us in on surprising, heavenly realities.
March 7, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt)- This miracle of Jesus gives an especially clear look at the gospel. Specifically, we see our sin, Jesus's salvation, and how the world hates his salvation.
February 28, 2021 (Pastor Casey Shutt)- It's quite possible that we come to Jesus as a genie who can serve our wishes and demands. Biblical faith, however, calls us to submit to Jesus as he is: Lord.
