It's All In The Name
A Christmas sermon exploring Matthew 1:18-25, revealing how the names given to Jesus — Jesus (Savior) and Emmanuel (God with us) — establish His identity as the promised Messiah in the line of David, and why only the God-man could save humanity from sin.
He Will Be Great

A verse-by-verse exposition of 1 Timothy 2:8-15 addressing how men and women should conduct themselves in corporate worship.

Now to the King Eternal
Preaching from 1 Timothy 1:12-17, this sermon traces Paul's radical gratitude for being appointed to ministry despite being a blasphemer, persecutor, and arrogant man, showing that the real gospel exposes our sin and reveals a patient, merciful Savior who alone is worthy of honor and glory as the King eternal, immortal, and invisible.
Teach The Truth
Walking through 1 Timothy 1:1-11, this sermon argues that the first priority for healthy church life is guarding sound doctrine against false teaching, because false doctrine devastates individuals, families, ministries, and entire cities — while true doctrine leads to love for God and neighbor, grounded in the glorious gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Having Peace in an Evil World
Drawing from Psalm 37:1-11 and stories of Zambian orphans wrestling with anger and injustice, this sermon teaches that lasting peace comes not from circumstances or worldly prosperity, but from trusting in God, delighting in Him, committing our ways to Him, and waiting patiently before Him.
