Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 10:35-45
It must have come as a surprise to Jesus and the rest of the disciples when James and John approach Him about sitting in the highest positions of honor on His throne, just after He offered another disconcerting excursus on His suffering and death. Jesus doesn’t deny that such positions exist, but they come at a great price.

Paul Davies – PM Sermon
Scripture: Romans 12: 1-2
The Bible clearly instructs us to “Renew Our Mind”. It is a scriptural imperative. But where do we begin? How do we go about changing how and what we think about, especially as a new believer? God not only gives us the command to renew our minds but also provides the “way” and the “how” to do it. His Word provides the subject matter, the methodology, and the outcomes we can expect. We can no longer think in the ways non-believers think. We must learn the character and nature of God as expressed in His Son and the disciplines and practices of reading, studying and meditating in His Word in order to change our attitudes and actions.
Add. Ref.: Rom. 7:14-25; 12:9-12; 1 Cor. 1:10; 2 Cor. 2:16; Phil. 2:2; 4:8; 1 Pet. 1:13

Greg Lynch – AM Sermon
Scripture: Selected Scriptures
This sermon by Greg Lynch takes a cursory look at sacrifices in both the Old and New Testaments, but especially emphasizes those found in the Old, providing background on what a covenant actually is and dealing with the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants, and reviewing the three aspects of the Mosaic Law (the moral, the civil, and the ceremonial). The lesson considers a definition of the term “type,” and then methodically proceeds through an examination of the types of Christ found in the tabernacle and its furniture, the Levitical and Melchizedekian priesthood, and the temporal offerings in Israel’s sacrificial system, finally pointing toward the “eternal sacrifice” of Christ.

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 10:32-34
In this account, Jesus again tells of His upcoming death, burial, and resurrection. Here He gives even further and possibly surprising detail, but it is not so much Jesus’ message that strikes fear into the heart of His followers, but His resolve.
Add. Ref.: Psalm 22:6-8; Matthew 27:39-43; Isaiah 50:5-6; 50:4, 7, 10-11

Missionary: Pastor Ron Self – AM Sermon
World Missions Conference 2016
Scripture: Acts 16:6-15, 22-31
The apostle Paul had made plans for his missionary journey to travel to Asia. God, however in His infinite providence, sent Paul to Macedonia where he would plant the church at Philippi, one of the most spiritually tenacious churches of the New Testament. Pastor Ron Self, our missionary to Argentina, uses this illustration to encourage believers to pay heed as God dictates your steps.

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon
Scripture: Selected Scriptures
While many may think eschatology is too obscure and difficult to understand to make it appropriate for authoritative preaching, much of the difficulty is accounted for if we simply allow the Bible to speak for itself.

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 10:17-31
A contemporary approach to evangelism often pushes an unbeliever to “make a decision” for Christ without ever confronting the unbeliever’s wicked heart. But in this passage, Jesus confronts a man who might appear “good” by all external accounts, but who cannot come to Christ because of the one thing he values more than Him.

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon
Scripture: Selected Scriptures
Reformed churches have historically maintained the “regulative principle” in evaluating the appropriateness of conduct in the corporate worship service, but is their biblical justification for regulation? In this message, Pastor Matt shows that there is not only justification for it in Scripture, it is actually commanded.
