Sermon Description
In our text, we see the LORD ratifying a covenant with Israel. He promises blessings, warns of curses, calls for obedience, and applies blood to seal the deal. But if this old covenant is no longer in effect, then what relevance is there for the new covenant people of God?

You Shall Know I AM: The Uses of the Law

Sermon Description
After giving Israel the Ten Commandments, God called Moses up the mountain and entrusted him with the Book of the Covenant (24:7). It is comprised of laws with very specific guidance for the judges of Israel, which make us wonder what relevance or use the law has for us today.

Bible VersesExodus 20:12-17

February 24, 2019
Sermon Description
These laws in the Second Table are written on every human heart (Rom 2:15) and were always meant to be kept from the heart. We must no longer treat the Ten Commandments as a checklist concerned with outward behavior while ignoring its demand for inward obedience.

Preached on
February 17, 2019
Sermon Description
The Ten Commandments is the most widely known section of the Mosaic Law and arguably the most widely misapplied. It is important to see that the Law is not a burden or a standard for us to achieve. The Law is a blessing for those who are redeemed.

Sermon Description
As we’ve seen in Exodus, the LORD’s expressed purpose in saving his people from bondage was to make known his Name (6:7; 7:5; 8:22; 14:4). He wanted to proclaim the knowledge of himself among the nations, and in this chapter, we see that very purpose advancing.

The Great Red Dragon of Christmas
Bible VersesRevelation 12:1-17
PreacherJason Tarn
Preached on
December 23, 2018
Sermon Description
Most nativity scenes feature the holy family, shepherds, wise men, angels, and barn animals, but the one character conspicuously missing is a great red dragon. In John’s vision, we’re reminded that behind the scenes of the familiar Christmas story lays a great cosmic war that has been fought since the beginning of time.

The Book of Jonah: Preaching to the Nations – The Humbling of a Self-Righteous Missionary
Bible VersesJonah 4

December 16, 2018
Sermon Description
Self-righteousness is toxic for missions. A sense of moral superiority towards certain people or a naively optimistic view of humanity in general will lead to the conclusion that some don't deserve salvation or even need it. These self-righteous tendencies must be confronted before we will share in God's great compassion for the lost among the nations.

November 18, 2018
Sermon Description
When dissatisfaction go unquenched, they lead to disappointments in God. And disappointed followers are tempted to test Him. We're tempted to put God in the dock, that is, to put Him on trial, questioning His good providence and even His presence. But, it's His amazing response that really puts us back in our place.

You Shall Know I AM: Grumbling in the Wilderness

PreacherJason Tarn
Preached on
November 11, 2018
Sermon Description
Not long after experiencing the greatness of God's deliverance at the Red Sea, the Israelites find themselves grumbling. This episode in the wilderness serves to illustrate the difficultly even God's people have in trusting him to provide for our daily needs. His response is to test us – not to see if we'll pass or fail – but to teach us to trust and obey.
