Preaching Peace

Acts 10:34-43 is the text for this sermon.  In this text, Luke tells the story of Peter's encounter with Cornelius, a Roman centurion and a Gentile.  The opening of the gospel to Gentiles was a huge change for the formerly Jewish church in Jerusalem.  The sermon talks about the implications of this.

Arise, Your Light Has Come

This text comes from Isaiah 60 and is God's reassurance to Judah that despite Babylonian captivity in her past, God would still shine forth from her.

Putting Herod Back Into Christmas

The text for this sermon comes from Matthew 2:13-23.  It concerns the themes seen in the Old Testament (type) and the way they are reinterpreted in the New Testament (anti-type).  For example, manna which sustained Israel in the wilderness (type) and Jesus the bread of life in the New Testament (anti-type).  The sermon invited listeners to 1) have a clear vision of what God is doing today, 2) not settle for a counterfeit narrative such as what our government gives us, and 3) listening to God rather than to false voices.

This is how it happened.

A week and a half before Christmas, it is good to be reminded of the events that led up to the birth of Christ.  In this sermon from Matthew 1:18-25 we look at Matthew's genealogy and how Matthew sets up the event of Joseph's visit from an angel.
