12.16.18 - Abraham and the People of God

In the latest installment of our Advent: God Has Come sermon series, we take a look at God’s relationship with Abraham and its contrast to expanse of sin in Genesis 3-11. God would restore his blessing to humanity through Abraham and his offspring. In the New Testament, we see that the true children of Abraham are not his physical descendants, but his spiritual ones: the ones who have faith.

12.02.18 - Advent: God Has Come (Introduction)

In the introduction to the Advent: God Has Come series, we see that God is simultaneously the creator of all things and involved in his creation. In Genesis 2, he promises life to Adam and Eve if they keep his commandments. Even though Adam and Eve rebel against him, God promises a human descendant who will reverse the curse that Adam and Eve brought on the world. The story of Scripture is the story of God pursuing humanity to bring them back to himself.

11.11.18 - Psalm 27

In Psalm 27, we see that God is David's light and salvation, even in light of deep personal loss. He longs to see the glory of God as revealed in the sanctuary. Today, we see God’s glory as revealed in the church, not only in Word and sacrament, but also in the fellowship we experience with God’s people.
