Psalm 69:1-36 – Lessons From Suffering

Psalm 69 is kept in Scripture not as antiquarian reading but as practical instruction for how God’s people are to live through seasons of pain, rejection, and trial. Read two ways, it teaches two things at once: how suffering shapes a faithful soul (think David) and how suffering saves the world (think Jesus). Both perspectives are meant to form us—our prayers, our patience, our zeal, and our posture before God and our neighbors

Luke 22 – Judas, What Did You Do?

Luke 22 is not a fable. It is a dated, deliberate account of a week in history when the plot to kill Jesus was hatched and carried out. The Passover was in the city. The crowds were present. The institutions and the religious leaders who should have recognized the Messiah instead conspired to silence Him.

Deuteronomy 14:22-29 – The Law of the Tithe

The tithe law is not a relic of an agricultural past to be filed away with the rest of ancient ceremony. It is a deliberate, emphatic command that shapes how a people acknowledge God as owner and provider. The tithe law confronts our assumptions about money, tests our allegiance, and orders the church’s life so ministers and the needy are cared for. This is not abstract theology; it is practical worship translated into how we use what God entrusts to us.

Luke 21:5-20 – Jesus’ Prediction of the Destruction of Jerusalem

Jesus’ words in Luke 21:5-20 are rooted in a very particular moment: He stands in the temple during His final week, addressing people who can see the stones and splendor of that building with their own eyes. He warns them that what they admire will not stand. The question the people ask is simple and immediate: when will this happen, and what signs will show that it is near?

Deuteronomy 14:1-21 – Dietary Laws – Theology of Holiness

God gave Israel the dietary laws to keep them separate from the gentile nations. Underlying the dietary laws is the theology of holiness. In this sermon, we will look at how these laws were necessary for the Old Covenant, but no longer required for the New Covenant. From a redemptive history perspective, the distinction between Jew and Gentile is not relevant. Under the New Covenant the distinction is made between those who are in Christ and those who are not in Christ. Christ has come to remove the wall of separation between Jew and Gentile; therefore, the dietary laws are no longer necessary.
