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.
