Sermons
The Word of God faithfully preached to the Church is one of the most essential aspects of Christian discipleship. Through faithful expositional preaching all the saints grow together in the knowledge of God and in being equipped for ministry. This is one reason preaching is the central element of our Lord’s Day worship.

The Exodus of Jacob
In Genesis 31, Jacob flees from Laban by returning to the land of Canaan. Jacob begins his own exodus-like experience and through it all his faith continues to mature as he recognizes all the ways God has been faithful to his covenant. This text reminds us that every believer also experiences a New Exodus as we journey our way home to heaven and we must remember our identity as spiritual-pilgrims. We walk through this text in three parts: 1) The Procession to Canaan, 2) The Pursuit of Laban, and 3) The Protection of the LORD.
The Multiplication of Jacob
In Genesis 29.31 - Genesis 30, we find that sin has plagued Jacob’s household. And yet, through all the mess, God continues to prove that he is trustworthy and faithful to his covenant promises. We walk through this story in two main parts: 1) the multiplication of Jacob’s offspring and 2) the multiplication of Jacob’s possessions.
The Humiliation of Jacob
In Genesis 29.1-30, we find one of the most humiliating moments in the life of Jacob. And yet God sovereignly providentially works through this situation to both humble Jacob and to continue his plan to bring messiah into the world through his unwanted bride, Leah. So that ultimately, Jacob's humiliation points us forward to the humiliation of Christ. We walk through this story in two parts: 1) Jacob meets Rachel and Laban (1-14) and 2) Jacob marries Rachel and Leah (15-30).
Jacob & Esau
In Genesis 27, we see how unchecked sin doesn’t just lead to dishonoring God, but to ruinning our relationships with one another. This story reminds us that we are all desperately in need of grace and that there are no heroes but God. We can see this all four parts of the sermon: 1) Rebekah Schemes Against Isaac, 2) Isaac Blesses Jacob, 3) Isaac Curses Esau, 4) Esau Schemes Against Jacob
The Sons of Abraham, the Sons of Isaac, & the Sovereign Mercy of God
In Genesis 25 we see God sovereignly-chooses which son preserves the line of promise and inherits his covenant-blessings. God chooses Isaac over Ishmael and the sons of Keturah and God chooses Jacob over Esau. None of these individuals did anything to earn or deserve God’s choice. All this highlights God’s electing-mercy in salvation – that you might grow in humble-confidence before our sovereign God. We see this in two parts: 1) the Sons of Abraham and 2) the Sons of Jacob.
