Numbers 13-14 // Bill Gorman

In this teaching on Numbers 13-14, we analyze the mission of the twelve spies and the two very different reports they brought back. While ten spies focused on the strength of the walled cities and the size of the inhabitants, Joshua and Caleb looked at the power of the one who promised them victory. The sermon examines the consequences of the people's rebellion—their desire to return to Egypt and the subsequent judgment that led to forty years of wandering. We discuss how fear can blind us to his provision and how trust in his word is the only way to move forward into the "land flowing with milk and honey."

Leviticus 16 // Bill Gorman

In this teaching on Leviticus 16, we examine the detailed instructions given to Aaron regarding the Day of Atonement. The sermon explains the gravity of entering behind the veil and the necessity of the sin offering and the burnt offering. A central focus is placed on the two goats: one sacrificed to satisfy justice and the "scapegoat" sent into the wilderness to carry away the guilt of the camp. We discuss how these rituals illustrate his mercy and the lengths he goes to so that his presence can remain among his people. This sermon helps us understand the weight of sin and the beauty of being made clean in his sight.

Exodus 20 // Taylor Fair

In this teaching on Exodus 20, we look at the heart of the biblical law and the significance of the Ten Commandments. The sermon breaks down the two sections of the tablets: the first focusing on our devotion to God—prohibiting idols and honoring his name—and the second focusing on our conduct toward our neighbors. We discuss the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the mountain, the thunder and lightning that accompanied his voice, and the role of Moses as a mediator. This sermon invites us to see these commandments as a reflection of his holy character and a roadmap for a life of justice and peace.

Genesis 37-50 // Taylor Fair

This sermon explores the life of Joseph, spanning from his colorful coat in Canaan to his seat of power in Egypt. We follow the narrative of Genesis 37-50, examining how Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely imprisoned. Despite these hardships, the story reveals how God’s hidden hand was at work, positioning Joseph to save entire nations from famine. We focus on the climax of the story—the emotional reunion and reconciliation of the family—and the profound truth that what man intends for evil, God intends for good.

Genesis 21-28 // Bill Gorman

This sermon covers the critical transition in the patriarchal narrative from Genesis 21 through 28. We witness the birth of Isaac, the fulfillment of God’s long-standing promise, and the difficult testing of Abraham’s faith on Mount Moriah. As the story shifts to the next generation, we see the search for Rebekah, the birth of the twins Jacob and Esau, and the dramatic conflict over the birthright and the blessing. This study emphasizes that God’s plan continues through imperfect families and that His sovereign choice remains the driving force behind the history of redemption.

Genesis 17 // Bill Gorman

This sermon explores the profound developments in Genesis 17, where God appears to a ninety-nine-year-old Abram to reaffirm his promises. We examine the introduction of God as El Shaddai (God Almighty), the significant name changes for both Abraham and Sarah, and the institution of circumcision as a permanent physical sign of the covenant. The message focuses on the necessity of walking blamelessly before God and the assurance that nothing is too difficult for the Lord, even when human circumstances seem impossible.

Genesis 11 // Matt Rusten

This sermon covers the building of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, a pivotal moment where human pride collided with divine authority. We examine the transition from a world with one language to the sudden diversity of tongues, exploring why God viewed this unified human project as a threat. By looking at the heart of the builders, we learn about the dangers of seeking to make a name for ourselves rather than honoring the name of God, and how this event explains the origin of different nations and cultures.
