All Things New - Isaiah 65-66

At the end of Isaiah we are given one last glimpse into Zion, the new heavens and the new earth.

Everyone Needs a Substitute - Isaiah 53:4-6

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.

Conceived by the Holy Spirit, and Born of the Virgin Mary - Luke 1:26-35

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.

It Is Finished - John 19:31-42

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.

The Cross of Christ - John 19:16b-30

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.

Three Kingdoms - John 18:28-40

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.

The Lord is My Shepherd - John 10:1-15

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.

The Good Shepherd - John 10:1-18

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.

True Bread from Heaven - John 6:41-59

From chapter 6 of John's gospel we learn three essential truths about Christianity: 1) Jesus is the main subject of the Bible, 2) Eternal life is found in Christ alone, and 3) Christians are those who feed on the crucified One.

Empty Tomb - John 20:1-23

The Man Who Claimed to be Equal with God - John 5:1-29

From John 5:1-29 we learn that Jesus' radical claim to be equal with God leads to conflict with the religious establishment.

Lord of the Temple - John 2:13-22

Vince Oliveri shows how the Lord of the Feast from 2:1-11 is also the Lord of the Temple who overturns the tables of convenience in 2:13-22. Through his sacrificial death and resurrection Christ ultimately becomes the perfect temple, priest and sacrifice who reconciles us to the Father.  

Lord of the Feast - John 2:1-11

Preaching from John 2:1-11 Pastor Pete shows how the miracle at the Wedding in Cana is actually story of Jesus' life. Jesus is the Lord of the feast and the Bridegroom. He alone makes festival joy possible.

The Sin-Bearing Lamb of God - John 1:29-34

Pastor Pete points to three essentials of the atonement found in John 1:29-34. Atonement for our sin is necessary, requires an innocent sacrifice, and is the gracious work of God on our behalf.
