How do we reckon with God's call to perfect holiness? As humans, we know we're imperfect. We know we don't measure up to God's perfect standard, so sometimes we may try to cover up our imperfections like Adam and Eve or ignore the sins that are endemic to our lives. In this sermon from the Promise Kept series, Pastor Adam explores Isaiah 4 to warn us against mistaking "pretty" for "pure" and to urge to tap into God's cleansing power for our souls.

In this sermon on Big Give Sunday, Pastor Adam explores Micah 6 to show that the practice of giving generously allows us to practice apprenticeship of Jesus.

What's obedience all about? Is obeying God all about avoiding hell, or could obedience be about something greater? In this sermon, campus minister David Fulton explores Romans 6 to show how obedience is about a lot more than rules. After all, obedience leads to life.

God made us to have dominion over all created things, but we lost our right to rule when the first humans submitted their God-given authorities to Satan. In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores Romans chapters 5 and 6 to illustrate how exactly Jesus's sacrifice restores to us the right to reign.

We normally think of hope as a positive expectations. But what does hope look like when positive expectations are hard to cultivate? Does the gospel provide us with a more durable hope?
