How you respond when the heat is turned up in life demonstrates what has first place in your heart. When God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, Abraham was tested and his faith was tried. In this first of a two-part sermon on Genesis 22, Pastor Luke Herche sheds light on this difficult passage, showing us Christ, another child of Abraham who was tested, who suffered, who rose, and also calling us to face trials ourselves by putting God first (part 1) and by resting in his promises and his love (part 2).

What Trials Say

In Romans chapter 6, the apostle Paul answers a question posed by the church in Rome by essentially asking in return, “Have you forgotten who you are?” The great and glorious truths of this passage are amazing in their implications about our identity. Paul tells the Romans that their being is in Christ. We are “in Christ”––that is our identity––and the truth of this identity is manifest in what we do and how we live. Listen as Brian Aldridge teaches on Romans 6:1–14, focusing on three key points: identity forgotten (1–2), identity rescued (3–10), and identity lived (11–14).

Being in Christ

There are a lot of options on the table when it comes to how Christians live in the world. Some Christians look just like the world. Others have created a Christian subculture, living a parallel life, like the world, but a Christian version of it. Some Christians avoid the culture at all costs. Others seek to dominate it. Thankfully Scripture is not silent on how we relate to the world around us. In the second half of Genesis 21, we learn how to live as aliens and sojourners in the world. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche helps us to note where we are (living as aliens), acknowledge the conflict, trust God’s promises, bless the nations, and praise God for his blessings.

How to Live as Aliens

When Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah after years of waiting, it proved God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises. In this sermon on Genesis 21:1–21, Pastor Luke Herche shows us that God’s promised inheritance is sure; therefore, you have reason to persevere in joy, to persevere in hope, and to persevere in love.

God’s Promise & Persevering Faith

In the book of Philippians, Paul writes not only as a person who is facing difficulties, but to a church that is struggling. A caring pastor and apostle, seeing his friends struggling with the same struggles he himself had, Paul shares with the Philippians the confidence he has in his future joy--the coming joy that we share--and the rooted hope that he has that he will be delivered. In this sermon on Philippians 1:18–20, Josué Pernillo shows how Paul explains this through three points: God’s means of deliverance, deliverance and shame, and deliverance and glory.

The Songs of Christmas: Mary’s Song

2000 years ago, the King of Kings was born in Bethlehem. It was the most important birth in the entirety of mankind. And nobody noticed. There was no fanfare of trumpets, no parades. But in a field nearby where shepherds were watching their sheep, angels appeared with a proclamation and a song: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:14, ESV). In this sermon on Luke 2:13–14, Josué Pernillo shows that through the song of the angels we see the beauty and the good news of Jesus Christ, our Savior, and we see this in two points: “in the highest” and “on earth.”

The Songs of Christmas: The Song of the Angels

There is a song for every occasion. Happy songs, sad songs, songs that make you depressed and songs that pick you up, love songs and breakup songs, victory songs, celebration songs, redemption songs, and funeral songs. We all want something to sing about, and when great things happen there is something within us that just can’t not sing. Through the song of Zechariah (Luke 1:67–79), we see that Jesus, as the climax of Israel’s story, brings freedom and joy to those who receive him through repentance and faith. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on this passage, encouraging us to prepare our hearts, sing of God’s grace, and serve him without fear.

The Songs of Christmas: Zechariah’s Celebration Song

A parable is a story that shows us something about God’s Kingdom, about who God is, about who we are and how we can come to be in a relationship with him. In this sermon on Luke 18:9–14, Pastor Ethan Brown teaches on the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, focusing on why Jesus taught using parables (the King’s strategy) and the grace of justification that God offers us through Jesus (the King’s status).

The King’s Status

The Christian life isn’t easy. The process of sanctification is slow, temptation is everywhere, and some days compromise seems like the best option. What difference does Christ make to the Christian in the midst of trials? In this sermon on Revelation 12:1–17, Pastor Luke Herche answers this question with assurances that the war is real, the victory is won, God’s care is certain, and exhorts us to now go fight.

A Woman, a Dragon, and the Victory That Begins the War

On the occasion of the installation of new officers, Pastor Luke Herche preaches on Exodus 18:13–27, looking at the necessity, the means, and the role of a plurality of leadership in the church. Why do we need a plurality of leadership? How do we get a plurality of leadership? And what does this plurality of leadership do?

Plurality in Church Leadership

What makes Christians different from the world around us? The answer, of course, is NOT our righteousness, but God’s faithfulness to us in Christ. Therefore we pursue righteousness in light of God’s faithfulness. In this sermon on Genesis 20, Pastor Luke Herche expands on this subject with four points: you are not the hero; the world is not as bad as it can be; God is faithful, despite your faithlessness; therefore, walk in the way of the Lord.

The Day of Judgement Is Real

Pastor Luke Herche talks about God’s justice and our call to be a light to the nations in this sermon on Genesis 18:16–33.
