"This whole life is the winter before planting season. We are germinating in little dixie cups on a windowsill looking out the back porch of God’s universe. We haven’t even been outside yet. At death, we go into the ground. At death, we get planted outside. And then, having been planted, we can finally come up alive. We haven’t even come up yet. We are people in seed form. We are the seeds of real people. In Christ, we are real people seeds." – Toby SumpterThe last several years Christ Church has tried an experiment in grace and has not charged for the Grace Agenda conference.

Preacher: Ben ZornesText: Zephaniah 3The early portion of Zephaniah’s prophecy is dark, heavy, and full of the thunderings of the law. But only those who are stubborn and stiff-necked need to be fearful of these thunderings. The proud only hear the fire and thunder of God’s just anger over their sin. But the meek are given news ears. They don’t hear the tumult of God’s wrath; they hear the sweetest song. A song that all the most gifted composers, if they worked together for a thousand years, would be unable to compare with.

"You can’t fight a culture war without a culture to fight with, and you cannot build a culture without worship at its center. The only question is what will the object of our worship be? What will orient all that we do? We are building households that make people who will live forever. And those people were made to worship the Triune God. So we worship, build, and plant; we feast and we laugh until the earth is full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." — Pastor Toby SumpterFull exhortation: https://www.tobyjsumpter.com/a-culture-to-fight-with/

"Man is a glory seeking creature. Everyone in this room has an appetite, a thirst, a hunger for glory." – Aaron Ventura

Preacher: Ben ZornesText: Zephaniah 2Postmodernism is like a swamp, in which all sorts of toxic algae can flourish. Christians who swim in those waters will invariably come down with the side-effects of those poisoned waters. One of the primary consequences of imbibing postmodern thought is that of thinking of the God revealed in the Bible as an isolated deity. But God is the God of the whole world, and every turn in earth’s history proves this to be true.

Pastor Toby Sumpter preaches our midweek message on Psalm 11.

Preacher: Toby SumpterText: Proverbs 22:6One of the great mistakes of parenting is to get the stages of parenting backwards. When children are young, they need significant guidance and discipline and a very narrow, black and white path. But as children grow older, they need to internalize and love the standards and exercising them for themselves. Another name for this process is discipleship in Christ.
