Pastor Derek…

The cross is foolish to our secular age. To achieve status, the idea of sacrifice is counter-cultural. The Apostle Paul told this to the young and dysfunctional church of Corinth, and his words are still fresh and applicable to us today. I look forward to opening our Bibles to 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5 with you all this upcoming Lord’s Day, and being …

Farewell speeches can be memorable, weighty, and meaningful, especially when spoken toward the end of a person’s life. King David has such a farewell speech. In 1 Chronicles 29 he is near death, has just given a ton of money for the building of the temple, and his son Solomon is about to take over as king. Join us on Sunday as we listen and study K…

This Sunday we take up the final Old Testament Prophet, Malachi. Malachi surveyed the plight of Israel in his day and spoke directly the sins of the clergy as well as the congregation.

Toward the end of his ministry Ezekiel had a vision of a temple like no other.

Life is really hard. We all long for comfort. A warm cup of tea by the fire or a cold drink by the pool is comforting. However, those don’t address the deep comfort that we need in life. This Sunday we will study Isaiah 40:1-11. The poem begins with the famous words, “Comfort, comfort, my people.” It’s a majestic text that reminds us that our only …
