The Crown of the Covenant Renewal
Jonathan Franzone argues that weekly communion should be the ordinary practice of Christian worship, not a rare exception, because the Lord's Supper is a means of grace that nourishes faith just as preaching does, and it represents the culmination of covenant renewal that occurs every Lord's Day. He contends that objections to frequent communion based on unworthiness, tradition, or concerns about routine are unfounded, and that the supper serves as both spiritual sustenance for believers and a commissioning that sends them into the world to live out their faith.
Exhortation - July 19, 2026
Jonathan Franzone exhorts the congregation to recognize that grumbling and complaining are ultimately indictments against God's providence and warns that parents catechize their children through the default tone of their homes, teaching them either the liturgy of thanksgiving or the liturgy of the wilderness generation. He calls believers to bring their complaints directly to God through prayer and lament rather than through murmuring, trusting that Christ as sovereign Lord can either resolve their situations or sanctify them through trials.

Flee From Bad Advisors
Dr. Uriesou Brito expounds on Psalm 11 to show how David rejects bad counsel from his advisors who urge him to abandon his trust in God, instead affirming that Yahweh's sovereignty, presence, and control over all circumstances provide the only true foundation for faith. Dr. Brito exhorts the congregation to begin every trial with David's confession of trust in the Lord, to test all counsel against Scripture, and to flee to God rather than from Him, recognizing that God sees all and judges the wicked while blessing the righteous.

Baptism Exhortation First Service - July 12, 2026
Dr. Uriesou Brito emphasizes that baptism is fundamentally about incorporating a child into God's covenant story, not merely celebrating numerical growth, and that this incorporation is grounded in God's grace and love that precedes any human response or merit. He stresses that the child enters the covenant through God's prior love and Christ's redemptive work, calling both parents and the congregation to commit to nurturing the child in faith and the admonition of the Lord.

Baptism Exhortation Second Service - July 12, 2026
Dr. Uriesou Brito emphasizes that baptism represents entrance into God's covenant story, where grace and God's love take primacy over human merit or articulation, as demonstrated through the baptism of two children whose parents and congregation commit to nurturing them in the faith. He stresses that these children are welcomed into God's eternal covenant not because of their own actions, but because God's love preceded theirs, fulfilling the principle that "we love him because he first loved us."

Before They Can Say "Amen"
Dr. Uriesou Brito argues that infant baptism, or covenant baptism, is biblically justified and essential to the church's identity because it incorporates children into the body of Christ, reflects God's covenantal promises that have always included children, and serves as a liturgical act that dramatizes God's grace and priority over human response. He contends that this theological conviction should shape the congregation's culture and practice, leading to a deeper love and affection for children's participation in worship and a patient instruction of those from different theological traditions.

Exhortation - July 5, 2026
Dr. Ursinus Brito explains that a covenant is God's ordered bond with His people that involves Him claiming, naming, commanding, blessing, and warning them across generations, and he urges parents to raise children as those claimed by Jesus who must learn to live within this covenant community. Dr. Brito emphasizes that worship is a renewal of God's covenant promises and calls the congregation to come together as covenant people who are named by God, ordered by His word, fed at His table, and hopeful for the fulfillment of His promises to future generations.

Unbind Him and Let Him Go
Alan Stout preaches on John 11 about the resurrection of Lazarus, emphasizing that Jesus is not merely about resurrection but is himself the resurrection and the life, and that true faith means personally trusting Christ for salvation rather than just believing in general doctrines. He explores how Jesus's emotional response to death and his raising of Lazarus foreshadow his own resurrection, and calls believers to respond to God's compassion with wonder and gratitude rather than doubt or accusation.

Exhortation - Jun 28, 2026
Alan Stout exhorts the congregation to recognize how their contemporary culture filters their understanding of Scripture through lenses of individualism, Enlightenment thinking, and modernity, and calls them to let the light of Christ override these worldly filters to read God's word rightly. He emphasizes that Jesus hates death and will ultimately destroy it through resurrection, contrasting this with the culture's embrace of death from conception through euthanasia, and invites believers to worship Christ who is the light of men.

House of the Rising Son
Dr. Uriesou Brito preaches on the account of Elijah raising the widow's son from the dead in 1 Kings 17, explaining how this first explicit resurrection in Scripture demonstrates God's power over death and serves as a paradigm pointing ultimately to Christ's resurrection. He emphasizes that true belief comes not merely from witnessing miracles, but from recognizing the word of truth behind them, and encourages believers to maintain hope in God's mercy and resurrection power even when those they have invested in spiritually experience setbacks.

Exhortation - June 21, 2026
Dr. Uriesou Brito exhorts the congregation that human history and scripture reveal a pattern of death and resurrection, with God repeatedly bringing life from emptiness and darkness, from Genesis through Revelation. He emphasizes that believers currently live between Christ's resurrection and the final resurrection of all people, and calls them to trust in Jesus as the foundation of their faith and hope for eternal renewal.
