Psalm 73 - Vision Restored by Faith

In our annual Vision Sermon, Pastor Clint walks thru Psalm 73. The Psalm Asaph’s journey from envy and confusion over the prosperity of the wicked to renewed clarity as he enters God’s presence and sees life from an eternal perspective. He learns that nearness to God, not outward success, is the true good, and that the apparent security of the wicked is fleeting compared to the lasting refuge of the Lord. At the start of a new year, this psalm helps reorient our hearts to measure life by faithful communion with God, reminding us that through the gospel Christ Himself is our portion—secured for us not by prosperity, but by grace.

04 He Will Come Again

In the final sermon of our Advent series, Pastor Clint considers the ascension and return of Christ, highlighting the reign of the risen King who intercedes for his people, sends the Spirit, and gives encouragement and assurance to weary and doubting hearts. Scripture points to the contrast between Christ’s first advent—humble and redemptive—and his second advent—glorious, physical, and judicial, unfolding according to God’s perfect order and timing. In light of this hope, weary believers are invited to draw near with confidence, stand firm in faith, and live with expectant joy, knowing the reigning Christ will make all things new.

03 For Us and For Our Salvation

In week three of our Advent series, with the Nicene Creed as our guide, using select scripture texts, Pastor Clint walks us through what it means that Christ came for us nd for our salvation. We rejoice that the eternal Son of God came down for us and for our salvation, entering our broken world in humility and love, and truly suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day He was raised, securing forgiveness, new life, and a living hope as we await His coming again.

02 He Became Incarnate

In this sermon, Pastor Clint considers the incarnation. As the Nicene Creed states, “he became incarnate for us and for our salvation,” emphasizing that the purpose of the Incarnation is God’s gracious rescue of sinners. Passages like 1 John 1, Luke 1, and Philippians 2 reveal to us the purpose, the mystery, and the humility of the Word made flesh.

01 True God From True God - John 1:1-5

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin begins our Advent sermon series by considering the divinity of Jesus. As the Nicene Creed declares, Jesus is "True God From True God." John opens his Gospel by revealing that Jesus, the Word, did not begin in Bethlehem but existed eternally with God and as God. He is the divine Creator through whom all things were made, the One whose authority and power stretch from before creation into our present world. And into our darkness this true Light has come—fully God, fully life-giving—shining with a glory that Advent invites us to behold and believe.
