Shoot and Root
December 8th, 2019
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Isaiah 11, in which the Messiah is described both as a root emerging from the stump of Jesse and as the root of Jesse. This shows the Good News that Jesus is both God and man, both righteous enough to bear the sin of the world and eligible to stand in our place.
Isaiah 11
The Mountain of the Lord
December 1st, 2019
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Isaiah 2, in which the people of God are described as streaming up the mountain of the Lord, excited to receive his law.

Our Redeemer Lives
November 10th, 2019
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Job, in which a sufferer's three friends attempt to figure out why he's suffering. The Good News of Jesus Christ, however, enables us to instead ask "who." Who is suffering with us? Who suffered for us? Our risen redeemer did just that.
