Our Lord Jesus helps us to see what needs to be seen spiritually -- both the darkness of our sinful nature but also the light he himself provides through his death and resurrection.

Description
Jesus Christ our Great High Priest... makes us priests. Which means you now have special access to places and things you didn't on your own.
Description
Nobody likes to feel as if they're not being paid attention to. It's especially hurtful when someone you trust forgets about your situation or how they can help you. That won't happen with Jesus. You have his undivided attention.
Description
Our King, Jesus, tells us like it is in regard to some of the Ten Commandments. He does so to protect our earthly relationships and our eternal destination.
Description
The gospel is good news because it has no limits to God's grace and forgiveness. That's true when it's applied to you. That's also true when you get to apply it to others, even those who repeatedly sin against you.

Description
Everything seems so well put together and perfectly arranged on Easter Sunday. But what happens when the following days and weeks bring conflict and things become chaotic? The risen Savior enters into our lives and rearranges things exactly the way they should be.
Description
The devil is trying to make noise in our lives. Sometimes he does it obviously. Sometimes he does it subtly. However he does it, he's always trying to stop Jesus from ruling our hearts and teaching us. But Jesus, the Holy One of God, always silences the devil's lies and impurity.
Description
Even when he faces opposition and challenges, Jesus has always found ways to reach sinners like you and me with the good news of his forgiveness. He shows us how in Mark chapter 6.
Jesus Resolves the Mystery of Salvation for Every Generation

Description
Every Christian has been commissioned by Jesus Christ to go out into the world. But your Jesus does not send you out there empty. He gives you something for your journey.
Description
In his wisdom, Jesus decided to wait two-and-a-half years to speak plainly to his apostles about his suffering, death, and resurrection. But in doing so, he also gives us plain teaching, rebukes, predictions, and promises that we can rely on, especially in our suffering.
Description
Like he knew his apostles' thoughts and was able to powerfully speak right to them, so your risen Savior knows exactly what you're thinking and speaks his peace right to those thoughts.
Description
Between newspapers, Internet blogs, radio stations, TV episodes, movies, podcasts and the like, you can listen to plenty of people talk about plenty of things, even things that interest you. But when you are troubled and fearful at heart, you don't need someone to talk aboutsomething. You need someone to speak to something -- your heart. Jesus does, and the result is peace in your heart.
Description
Where we might see a crowd of adoring fans of Jesus, our Savior sees individual souls who need to follow so that he can lead them to eternal life.
Description
When children become orphans, it's always because of tragic circumstances. Your Jesus promises you that no tragedy will tear you away from him.
Description
You can get financial advice from a lot of people. But only Jesus gives divine financial teaching. What's more, he gives his teaching without a fee and his teaching leads to free heavenly treasure!
Description
Your idea of glory is probably not Jesus' idea of glory. Wheat, death, the Father, and the devil... they're all in the picture at the crucial moments when Jesus would be glorified.
Description
As Jesus stood before Pontius Pilate, he knew that his kingdom would have no end, and so he willingly went to the cross. Jesus has made you a member of that kingdom and that impacts you now and forever.
Jesus' Living Water Quenches Your Thirst for Normalcy
Description This Sunday we began a sermon series on our stained glass windows from the New Testament.
As we wade through all the wrong things we have done and in a world where we see so much sin, the window of Jesus' baptism invites us to wade into the waters of the Jordan River and find in Jesus a righteousness which quenches our thirst for things to be made right between God and us.
Jesus' Living Water Quenches Your Thirst for Someone to Be in Control
Description (Note: There were some audio issues during the recording process. We hope to have it corrected next week.)
Our series on our New Testament stained glass windows continues. In a year that has seen everything from a global pandemic to urban unrest, we look at Jesus silencing a storm with a single sentence. Then we know that everything in our lives will be OK because Jesus is both the Creator and our Savior.
Jesus' Living Water Quenches Your Thirst for Someone to Hold On To
Description When you find someone in life who gives you companionship and confidence, you hold on to that person. Jesus wants to be with you and encourage you with his saving power. So hold on to him in faith, especially when you're afraid or having doubt!
Jesus' Living Water Quenches Your Thirst for Understanding
Description Inside every human being is a thirsty to understand the meaning of this life. In a boat on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus helps us understand life within the context of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus doesn't use tricks of modern day blogging, but his teaching unlocks secrets no selfie sticks or webcams could reveal. Come to Jesus and drink the living water of his understanding.
Description
Christmas Eve is kind of straightforward. It says that the long awaited Messiah and Savior has been born. Christmas Day dives into the depths of what that all means, and Saint John explains those deep truths in simple language.
Description
Our worship has transitioned into a yearly series on the End Times, that is, what will happen at the end of the world when Jesus comes back. Paul tells us that everyone will have a judgment coming on that last day. What judgment will come to you?
