This Advent we are looking at Jesus as our Prophet, Priest, and King. In John 18, we consider how Jesus may not be the King you expect, the King you want, or the King you deserve – but Jesus is the King – and He's the King you need.

What exactly is a priest and what is the significance of Jesus being our priest? As we look at the temptation of Christ, it teaches the type of priest that Jesus is for us and what it means for us in our own lives. Follow along with us in Matthew 4:1-11.

This Advent we are continuing our series through the Bible by looking at Jesus as Prophet, Priest, and King. Jesus is the Prophet who is full of grace and truth for the life of the world. But are you listening? Will you listen?

We find ourselves this week at the end of the Old Testament. The people of God have brought false gods into the temple. Men abandoned their wives, and left them destitute in a system that left no protection for them. Their whole world is broken and hopeless. But God had made His people promises to make it all right again.

Take a trip with a very reluctant missionary all the way to the megalopolis of Nineveh. In this emotionally charged story, a dove confronts a monster, and hearts are changed in heaven and on earth, for better and for worse.

Obadiah is a prophecy of judgment against the nations. Yet does this ancient prophecy still have any relevance for us in our time? How does Obadiah teach us about God’s plan of redemption across time and history?

When Daniel prays with a deep fervency and passion for God’s people, it teaches us something about prayer. Why do our prayers seem to go unanswered? Who comes to help in times of trouble? This passage asks would you rather have your prayers answered or see the Answer to all your prayers?

How do we reconcile God sovereignty and earthly powers? Nebuchadnezzar was the most powerful king in the world, yet he was humbled by the Most High. It's an amazing passage because this is the only passage in the Bible written by a pagan king. He wants to tell us his story, and God wants us to hear it.

The book of Daniel is about God's sovereignty. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego teaches us about God’s sovereignty and suffering. Walk in the fire with us as we consider why a good God would allow suffering in our lives.

In Acts 8, Philip explains the meaning of Isaiah 49 to a eunuch who was perplexed about the meaning. Was the passage talking about Isaiah or Jesus? Philip explains how the passage points to the suffering servant, of One who would come and offer himself to the people of God for their salvation.

Elisha's servant Gehazi struggles to believe that God will come through, even after all he's seen Elisha do through the power of God. He wasn't seeing the whole picture. God opened his eyes and he saw that he was seeing the world through a lens of rationalism and denying the supernatural. Sound familiar?

A little girl points Naaman, a Gentile, to Elisha for healing. Naaman is healed but his experience is not at all what he expected. How do these three characters point us to Jesus?

Israel is an idolatrous mess, chasing after Baal and believing in other promises. Elijah steps onto the seen and offers a challenge between the prophets of Baal and he, the prophet of the Lord. How does this story teach us about Jesus and point forward to his victory over the serpent?

In this story we see the first recorded resurrection in the Bible when Elijah raises the widow’s son. What does it teach us about how God brings new life to his people? How can we learn to align ourselves with how he works in our lives to bring the transforming power of new life?

God always invites his people out of their comfort and into the unknown and uncertainty of faith. Through David God invites his people out of their comfort and into a whole new adventure to see God reveal his glory. In this passage we witness the climax of the Old Testament and the people God intends for us to be.

In 1 Chronicles 21, David takes the census and provokes God to anger. How does God respond to David’s sin? How does David respond to God when he sees him?

The story of Mephibosheth is one of the sweetest stories in the Bible. It’s a picture of divine love and it’s life-changing power to raise one from obscurity to glory. In this sermon we explore how the story of Mephibosheth is our story, for we have received that very love in Jesus Christ.

In 2 Samuel 7 God makes an incredible promise to David. He promised that his throne would be established forever and of his kingdom there would be no end. This sermon is the story of how God became King in Jesus Christ.

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. David shows a different kind of humility than Saul ever showed when he had the chance to kill Saul but instead trusted in the Lord.

What's the story of David and Goliath really about? It's often treated as the ultimate underdog story that's about overcoming the giants in your own life, but that's not true. How then do we find courage as we face the problems of life? David points forward to a greater Champion that transforms the fearful hearts of his people.
