Episodes
Taking Refuge in the Lord Jesus
Pastor Josh preaches on Psalm 31. We are always in the midst of persistent problems in life, and often we feel like we can go from confident faith in God to feelings of deep desperation, sometimes within a single day. Psalm 31 shows us that this experience is actually normal for believers, all the way back to King David. What's more, we learn that this Psalm shows us, in light of Christ, that
The Supremacy of the Son
Pastor Josh continues our series in Colossians, looking at chapter 1:15-20. Just like compelling characters in stories have backstories that explain the significance of their actions, Paul explains the backstory of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is supreme over creation and over redemption, and as true God, he has done the unthinkable: become truly man and make peace through the blood of his cro
Jesus’s Authority – from Heaven or from Man?
Pastor Devon continues our series in Mark, looking at chapter 11:27-33. The Jewish religious authorities question Jesus about the source of his authority, but they find their own unbelief is cross-examined. While unbelief and unbelievers question Jesus, Jesus has every right to ask searching questions of unbelief. And while many like the scribes and pharisees might use ignorance as a coverup for t
Leaves without Fruit
Pastor Devon continues our series in Mark. How does Jesus evaluate what real worship looks like? What is fruitless religion? What does fruitful religion look like? Preached September 27, 2026 AM
Built Up in Knowledge
Pastor Devon continues our evening series in Colossians. In Colossians 1:9-14 we hear Paul's prayer for the Colossians. Preached September 27, 2026 PM
Behold Your King Comes
Pastor Devon continues our series in the book of Mark. When Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey in Mark 11:1-11, what is he doing? He is showing us his kingly authority. As he fulfills prophecy, Jesus commands our worship, our service, and our allegiance. Preached September 20, 2026 AM
The Blind Man Who Sees
Pastor Devon continues our series in Mark, looking at the story of the healing of Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52. Here we see a portrayal of saving faith. Saving faith Calls Out to the Son of David, Cries for Mercy, Continues Amidst Obstacles, Forsakes Lesser Comforts and Hopes, Functions as a Means for Making Us Well, and Follows Jesus. Preached September 13, 2026 AM
Rooted in Gratitude
Pastor Devon begins a new evening series in the book of Colossians. Paul was in prison when he wrote this letter, but at the beginning of this letter Paul shows why he, and why we, should always be filled with thankfulness. Preached September 13, 2026 PM
A Ransom for Many
Pastor Devon picks up our series in Mark, preaching on Mark 10:32-45. In Mark 10:45 Jesus gives us the clearest expression for why he came. He came to save people from slavery to sin by being their ransom. Being the Son of God, he performs the greatest possible act of service. Preached Sept 6, 2026 AM
The Faithfulness of God
Pastor Devon concludes our summer series on the attributes of God by considering the truth (or faithfulness) of God, looking at Psalm 117. Preached Aug 23, 2026 AM
God’s Next to Last Word
Pastor Josh concludes our evening series in Malachi, looking at chapter 4:4-6. God gives his people three final words of instruction as he prepares them for the 400 years of silence before the coming of Jesus Christ. How should they live during those years? Listen to God’s warnings, Remember God’s word, and hope for the gospel to change their lives. We need the same words or instruction to live fo
The Justice of God
Pastor Devon continues our summer morning series on the attributes of God, looking at God's justice. God is perfectly just, and that is good news for us. We don't have to worry about his standards changing, or treating us by a different standard than he treats others. And his justice is consistent with the good news that we can be saved from our justly deserved punishment through faith in
The Day That I Act
Pastor Devon continues our series in Malachi, looking at Malachi 4:1-3. God wants his people to know that he is coming. But the day of His coming will look very different for different kinds of people. For the arrogant who do not trust him, his coming will be a day of burning. For those who trust and fear him, his coming will be a day of healing. Preached Aug 16, 2026 PM
The Goodness of God
Pastor Josh continues our summer series on the attributes of God, looking at Psalm 119:65-72 as we consider God's goodness. We learn from this passage that God is goodness itself. Because he acts completely in line with his good nature, God does good to all his creatures, but especially he does good to his people, even using suffering to bring about their good. God also must make us good. He d
The Obedience & Disobedience of One (Robert Murray M’Cheyne)
In commemoration of our 2nd year of public worship as a church, we took the opportunity to listen to a sermon preached over 150 years ago. Pastor Devon delivered a sermon on Romans 5:19 originally preached by Robert Murray M'Cheyne (1813-1843), a Scottish presbyterian minister. The truths he preached then are still as relevant now. Preached August 9, 2026 PM
Imposter Identity
Visiting pastor Robert Knuth preaches from Exodus 19:1-6. Like the Israelites standing at Mt Sinai, we often feel like God calling us his treasured possession doesn’t fit our lived reality. But when God gives us a new identity, we get to live into it. Preached August 2, 2026 AM
The Holiness of God
Pastor Devon continues our summer morning series on the Attributes of God, looking at God's Holiness in 1 Peter 1:13-16. What does it mean for God to be holy? God's holiness means he is truly unique, morally pure, transcendent, worthy of worship, and able to make other things and people holy. Preached July 26, 2026 AM
Hard Words, Heard Words
Pastor Josh continues our evening series in Malachi. We often want earthly treasure for serving God, but what we need to know is that those who serve God are his greatest treasure. Preached July 26, 2026 PM
The Power of God
Pastor Devon preaches from Nahum 1:1-9 as we continue our series on the attributes of God. God shows his power in his wrath, in his restraint, as a refuge, in his ruling, and in his reliability. Preached July 19, 2026 AM
Robbing God?
Pastor Devon continues our series in Malachi, looking at Malachi 3:6-12. How should Christians give? How much? Will God provide for us when we give sacrificially? Pastor Devon addresses these questions in light of God's word. Preached July 19, 2026 PM
Standing Before God
Pastor Joshua preaches on Zechariah 3. When Joshua the High Priest stands before God, we learn that on our own we stand condemned before God. But the good news is that Jesus has taken our filthy garments on himself and paid for our sin on the cross, and he gives us robes of perfect righteousness. And not only do we stand clothed before God when we put our faith in Christ, but we live in those clot
The Wisdom of God
Pastor Devon continues our Summer series focusing on the attributes of God. This week we focus on the wisdom of God as we consider Romans 11:33-36. Preached July 5, 2026 AM
The Being of God
Pastor Josh continues our summer series on the attributes of God, structured around Westminster Shorter Catechism Q&A 4. In Acts 17:22-31 Paul speaks to the cultural elite in Athens and seeks explain how the divine being we know as the God of the Bible is far different from their conception of God. He is all-sufficient, incomprehensible, and simple. In all these ways his being is completely unlike
Jesus is Coming
Pastor Josh continues our series in Malachi, looking at Malachi 2:17-3:5. This prophecy of the coming of Jesus teaches us to anticipate his second coming. When Jesus came the first time, he inaugurated an age in which he primarily is doing the work of refining his church. And when he comes again he will judge the world, beginning with his church. Preached June 28, 2026 PM
The Attributes of God
Pastor Devon begins our summer series on the attributes of God, preaching from Psalm 102:25-27 on God’s infinity, eternality, and unchangeability. We’re using Westminster Shorter Catechism Q&A 4 to shape this series, as we seek to go a little deeper into who God is. Preached June 21, 2026 AM
Tired of Waiting?
Pastor Devon continues our series in Malachi by preaching on Malachi 2:17. What do you do when you’re tired of waiting on God? Preached June 21, 2026 PM
Mourning into Dancing
Pastor Josh preaches on Psalm 30. We find ourselves constantly wowed by reels and videos, but we never want to forget to be wowed by God. Psalm 30 shows us how God’s transforming power should wow us and lead us to praise and thank him. God turns death into life, prosperity into adversity, and mourning into dancing. We see this most fully in God saving us through the suffering and death of Jesus. P
Faithless People, Faithful God
Pastor Josh continues our series in Malachi, preaching on Malachi 2:10-16. God cares how we use our sexuality. As Malachi confronts Israel with their unfaithfulness to the covenant, he focuses on issues related to divorce and marriage to unbelievers – issues that the New Testament makes clear still are relevant for today, since God is still the Father and creator of his people. Preached June 14, P
Heirs of Eternal Life
Pastor Nick Setterington from University Reformed Church preached on Titus 3:3-7. In this gospel-rich passage we are called to remember that we were miserable before we knew Christ, to see the grace that God has shown to us, and cherish the hope of eternal life that we've been given. Preached June 7, 2026 AM
Let the Children Come
Pastor Devon preaches from Mark 10:13-16. We'll be taking a break from the book of Mark and starting a summer series on the attributes of God. But this week we're shown that Jesus is not like modern celebrities who require an entourage to protect them from the crowds. In fact, Jesus rebukes his disciples for keeping children from being brought to him. Jesus is indignant when people block c
The Covenant of Levi
Pastor Devon continues our series on Malachi. In Malachi 2:1-9 God speaks directly through the priests about their sinful practices. Their corruption makes us long for a better religious leader, a perfect priest, Jesus Christ our Lord. Preached May 31, 2026 PM
Divorce and Discipleship
Pastor Devon continues our series in Mark 10:1-12. Jesus' teaching on marriage and divorce is challenging to many of us. But if we take following Jesus seriously, we don't get to pick and choose when to listen to what he says. And we're reminded that what God tells us, he tells us for our good. Marriage is so important to God because it points to the very heart of the gospel: that Jesu
Where Is My Honor?
Pastor Devon preaches on Malachi 1:6-14. When we meet someone we respect and admire, we try to make sure we give them our best. We dress up appropriately; we are on our best behavior; we give gifts that honor them. But when it comes to God, so often we can give him the leftovers of our lives. Malachi 1:6-14 gives us a strong reminder, that God will receive honor from all people, whether he is hono
True Greatness
Pastor Devon preaches on Mark 9:30-37. We learn from Jesus that our view of what true greatness looks like is entirely mistaken. But Jesus shows us that the cross is the key element of his greatness, pride is a key obstacle to real greatness, and humble service is the expression of true greatness. Preached May 10, 2026 AM
How God Has Loved Us
Pastor Josh begins our series on Malachi. Malachi was sent to preach to a people who had grown bitter, cynical, thankless, and selfish as they waited for God's promises to come true. Today we often find ourselves in a similar place, frustrated that God hasn't given us what we wanted, and worshiping him without engaged hearts. But in Malachi 1:1-5, we learn that the first word God speaks to
Help My Unbelief
Pastor Devon continues our sermon series in Mark. In Mark 9:14-29 Jesus helps a man whose son is demon possessed. We're reminded right after the Transfiguration that Jesus isn't just God over our mountain top experiences, when God feels close and life is good. He's also God of the valleys, in those times when life is hard and our faith is weak. And even when we might be disillusioned b
Changed on the Mountain
Pastor Devon preaches from Mark 9:2-13. Many Christians might find it hard to explain why the Transfiguration is so important. But Mark 9:2-8 we see that in the transfiguration we should be encouraged by Jesus' glory. And yet, Mark 9:9-13 reminds us that we must still live for Jesus in light of Jesus’ intervening humiliation. Preached April 26, 2026 AM
Children of God Without Blemish
Guest Pastor Ben Preiser Preached from Philippians 2:14-18. Preached April 26, 2026 PM
Take Up Your Cross
Pastor Devon continues our series in Mark, preaching on Mark 8:34-9:1. Jesus doesn't hide the difficulties that come with following him. He actually tells us clearly what following him takes. It will require denying ourself, and taking up a cross. Life for him will involve difficulty, disgrace, distress, and even death. But the consequences of not following Jesus are worse: losing our soul and
Conceal or Confess
Pastor Devon preaches from Proverbs 28:13: Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. From this proverb we learn that concealing sin leads to misery, but confessing sin leads to mercy. Preached April 19, 2026 PM
God Meant It for Good
Guest Pastor Ben Falconer preached from Genesis 50:15-26. God is sovereign even over the evil acts of men, turning them to his perfectly good purposes. Preached April 12, 2026 AM
Who Do You Say That I Am?
Pastor Devon preaches our Easter morning sermon from Mark 8:27-33. Jesus asks his disciples and every one of us to answer this crucial question: who do you say Jesus is? Preached Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026 AM
Care from the Empty Tomb
Pastor Josh preaches on John 20:11-18, showing how Jesus cares for us by meeting us in our sadness, knowing our name, and wanting what was best for us. Preached Easter evening, April 5, 2026 PM
Care from the Cross
For our Good Friday service, Pastor Josh preached from Jesus’ word to his mother in John 19:23-27, showing us how Jesus cares for our earthly needs, our family needs, and our soul’s needs. Preached on Good Friday, April 3, 2026
Healing the Blind
Preached by Pastor Devon on Mark 8:1-26. We learn from Jesus' latest argument with the Pharisees, discussing his disciples' unbelief, and healing a blind man, that physical blindness is't the worst kind of blindness someone can have in this world. Spiritual blindness is. Because of our corrupt human nature we are all born spiritually blind and unreceptive to Jesus and His Word – even w
Guarding the Good Deposit
Preached by Pastor Devon. We're finishing our series in 1 Timothy by looking at 1 Timothy 6:17-21. In this final section of the letter, Paul warns us of the dangers that the wealthy face in this world. We're also given directions that lead to true riches. Paul concludes by telling Timothy and us about the deposit that we have to guard and treasure. As you’re sent out with God’s grace, glor
Healing the Deaf Man
Preached by Pastor Devon on Mark 7:31-37. Jesus shows us as he heals a deaf, mute man, that he isn’t just like one of us, people trying to make the best of things in a fallen world. Jesus is the one who can actually set things right. Preached March 22, AM
Better Things
Pastor Josh preaches on 1 Timothy 6:11-16. It is easier to say no to something when you know what the yes is. This is true about life’s big decisions and it’s also true in the Christian life. When we’re tempted to discontentment and love of the world, we need to know what the better thing is that we are saying yes to. Paul shows us that as Christians we have better pursuits, namely cultivating the
Who Is Jesus’s Healing Work for?
Preached by Pastor Devon from Mark 7:24-30. Often we can feel like outsiders, like we don't actually belong to whatever group we find ourselves in. We even feel that way in the church. But when Jesus speaks to a gentile woman who begs him to heal her daughter, we're reminded that even though we don't deserve to belong to God's people, God's grace is abundant, and he gives us a
Consequences of Our Cravings
Preached by Pastor Devon from 1 Timothy 6:2b-10. We need to understand what the right passions and priorities should be for Christians. And Paul in this passage reminds us what the core teaching of the Christian life are in verse 3. Then, he identifies the cravings that promote ungodliness in verses 4 and 5. He then reflects on the contentment that accompanies godliness in verses 6 through 8. And
How Can I Be Clean in God’s Eyes?
Preached by Pastor Devon on Mark 7:1-23. Like a renovated house standing on rotting supports, we can be concerned with being "clean" before God, while prioritizing outward cleanness - the things we do or say (or don't do or say). But being clean, rather than just appearing clean, is a matter of the heart. We see Jesus first addresses the standards of false cleanness that are being ad
Delivered through the Wind and Waters
Preached by Pastor Devon on Mark 6:45-56. In this passage we’re reminded that Jesus, being the Son of God, was still a human being who depended on God for his strength, and spent time in prayer because he needed God. If Jesus needed to pray to God, how much more do we? But we also learn as Jesus calms the sea that Jesus is divine. He is the God who tramples on the seas and the same God who lead hi
How Jesus Feeds His Sheep
Preached by Pastor Devon from Mark 6:30-44. As Jesus feeds 5,000 men, he shows how great his mercy and his might is, by working through the limited resources of his disciples. Preached February 22, 2026 AM
With Respect to Elders…
Preached by Pastor Devon. In 1 Timothy 5:17-25 Paul takes time to explain how healthy leadership should function in the Church, and how Christians should interact with their elders. We see that church's success in carrying Christ's mission depends on both good leaders and good followers. Preached February 22, 2026 PM
The God of Glory Thunders
Preached by Pastor Josh from Psalm 29. God's glory is the visible manifestation of his perfections shining forth in this world. In Psalm 29, written by King David, God displays his glory in a number of ways. He shines in heaven in the glory of his holiness, as David demands all the angels of heaven to worship him. God thunders in the storm and displays the glory of his power, and he calls us t
Honor in God's Household
Preached by Pastor Josh from 1 Timothy 5:1-16. Timothy is called to pastor all people in the church, and show them honor as he would fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. And the church should reflect God's heart by giving honor and dignity to godly widows who have devoted themselves to good works, so that they can continue to serve while being supported by the church. Preached February 1
What Would You Expect?
Preached by Pastor Devon from Mark 6:14-29. Should we expect to suffer as Christians? Jesus prepared his disciples to experience both accepted and rejection when he sent them out on their missions trip. But this week we see how one of Jesus' most faithful followers, John the Baptist, suffered for his faith. It cost him his life. So we're reminded that we should expect God's servants to
Sent and Supplied as Disciples of Jesus
Pastor Devon preaches on Mark 6:7-13, where we see Jesus involving, authorizing equipping, instructing, and enabling his disciples for ministry. How incredible that our perfect savior decided to train his disciples, and still trains us today, so that we’d be equipped for the good work he has for us to accomplish.
Rejected
Pastor Devon continues our series in Mark. In Mark 6:1-6 we see that when the Son of God came down to save us, he experienced rejection in a very real, human way. And how Jesus responded to rejection informs how we respond when we face rejection for his name.
The Helper of the Hopeless
Pastor Devon preaches from Mark 5:21-43. Jesus shows his unique power and authority. He draws near to people in their hopelessness and messiness. And when he does, it isn’t their uncleannes that rubs off on him, but Jesus’s power and peace leaves a lasting impact on them. Preached January 18, 2026 AM
Signs of Spiritual Maturity
Pastor Josh preaches on 1 Timothy 4:11-16. As Paul encouraged Timothy to have a ministry characterized by spiritual maturity, we all have opportunity to pursue growth in our walk with Christ. Preached January 18 2026 PM
How Much the Lord Has Done for You
Pastor Devon continues our series in the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 5:1-20 Jesus casts out a legion of demons from one man, and we learn that Jesus isn’t just capable of dealing with disaster and darkness around us, but he’s capable of resolving the disaster and darkness within us. Preached January 12, 2026 AM
Spiritual Training
Pastor Devon continues our series in 1 Timothy, looking at 1 Timothy 4:1-10. Just like Timothy, we need a realistic view of the challenges we will face as Christians, and the resolve that’s needed to press on in faithful work. Preached January 12, 2026 PM
A Fear That Drives Out Fear

Our homily from our Christ and Carols service. Pastor Devon shows from John 1:14 that the glory of God is most clearly seen in Jesus, where the fullness of God's grace and truth shine through the Word made flesh. Preached December 21, PM
The Great Priest
Pastor Devon continues our Advent Series, looking at Psalm 110:1-4, and how Christ fulfills the office of a Priest. Our salvation, and our relationship with God isn’t based on the greatness of what we’ve done, but on the greatness of our high priest, Jesus Christ. Preached December 14, 2025 AM
Elders, Deacons, and a Healthy Church

Responsibilities for Men and Women in the Church

The Parable of the Soils
Pastor Devon continues our series through the book of Mark. In Mark 4:1-20 While Jesus tells us that there are 4 kinds of soils, ultimately there are just 2 types. There’s soil that produces a harvest of abundant life, and there’s soil that doesn’t. Which soil are you? Preached November 16, AM
Prayer in the Church
Pastor Josh continues our series in 1 Timothy, looking at chapter 2:1-8. God desires us to pray with holy hands, and he desires our prayer to be all-encompassing, peace-pursuing, salvation-seeking, and God-glorifying. Preached November 16, PM
He Has Heard My Pleas for Mercy

Shipwrecks and Salvation
Guest Pastor Neil Quinn preaches on Acts 27. Sometimes God's plan will mean storms, and even shipwrecks in our lives. The question is, will you curse God and sink, or will you trust God's promises and swim? Preached November 2, 2025 AM
Liar, Lunatic, or Lord?
Pastor Devon continues our series in the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 1:20-35 we see that when we turn to Jesus and trust in him, not only does he bring us out of the household of Satan – out of our bondage – but Jesus brings us into a new household.
