This sermon argues that living an unhurried life is possible when we shift our focus from personal ambition to serving God's purpose and others. The message emphasizes that true freedom from the compulsion to hurry comes from a secure identity as a child of God, rooted in the foundational trust that our Heavenly Father is good and has already demonstrated His love for us through Jesus Christ.

This sermon introduces a series on faith by defining it through three stages: comprehension, conviction, and commitment, arguing that true, enduring faith culminates in a life lived for God.

This sermon warns against the love of money, using the parable of the rich young ruler to illustrate that material wealth is a spiritual hindrance that can lead to pride and a failure to trust in God.

This sermon explores how the titles of Jesus in Isaiah 9:6-7—especially Wonderful Counselor—reveal that Christmas is about the arrival of divine wisdom into a world of chaos and confusion.

This sermon explores how the Old Testament prophet Micah points to the coming of Jesus Christ, highlighting that His birth in humble Bethlehem fulfills ancient prophecies and demonstrates God's commitment to using the weak and unassuming.

This sermon uses the Israelites' constant grumbling for food in Exodus as a metaphor for the "soulish hunger" people have for belonging and security, even in times of plenty.
