A Congregational Exhortation
Dr. Uriesou Brito preaches on Psalm 15 as a "Christian resume" that outlines the moral and ethical requirements for dwelling in God's house, emphasizing that true believers must walk uprightly, speak truth, honor the godly, and maintain integrity in financial dealings. He argues that the New Testament builds upon Old Testament language and categories, and concludes that those who live according to these principles will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, secure in Jesus Christ who is the true fulfillment of Psalm 15.

Dr. Uriesou Brito delivers a baptism exhortation emphasizing the theological significance of the number eight in Christian history, connecting the infant's baptism to deliverance, cleansing, priesthood, sacrifice, and ultimately Christ's resurrection.

Every Square Inch: The Dominion of Christ
Dr. Uriesou Brito preaches that biblical dominion begins with personal reformation and obedience to Christ's commandments, which then extends to faithful stewardship of God's creation through work, family, culture, and community. He argues that Christ's current authority over all things calls believers to participate in his mission by cultivating the world through their vocations, raising children, creating beauty, and resisting evil, thereby extending God's kingdom throughout every sphere of life.

Baptism Exhortation - September 6, 2026
Dr. Uriesou Brito exhorts the congregation that baptism is a covenant act through which Christ claims the child and establishes his kingdom not through force but through water, faith, and love, requiring parents and the church community to faithfully nurture the child in obedience to Jesus. He emphasizes that this dominion of the crucified and risen King advances through ordinary acts of covenant faithfulness such as prayer, worship, and the modeling of repentance and faith by both parents and the congregation.

Why Our Story is Better
Dr. Uriesou Brito argues that Psalm 14 draws parallels to the Genesis flood narrative to show how God judges the wicked who reject Him while preserving the righteous, just as Noah was saved through the ark. He emphasizes that Christians must inhabit God's story of creation, fall, and redemption more deeply than the world inhabits its own narrative, trusting in Jesus as the greater Noah who carries believers through judgment to salvation.

Exhortation - Aug 30, 2026
Dr. Uriesou Brito exhorts the congregation that worship is spiritual warfare, reminding them that despite their enemies appearing strong and intimidating, God's people are ultimately victorious because they possess Christ while their adversaries have only a defeated serpent. He calls the faithful to prepare for worship with confidence, knowing that God is their stronghold and has saved them from death and destruction.

Exhortation - August 23, 2026
Jonathan Franzone exhorts his congregation to understand God's immanence—His constant presence and involvement in all aspects of creation—and to recognize that God sees, hears, and knows everything about us, including our private thoughts and hidden sins. He emphasizes that while this divine omniscience should terrify those without faith, it should comfort believers as a reminder that God loves them deeply enough to have sent Jesus Christ to die for their salvation, and that they should live with the awareness of God's nearness as they journey toward sanctification.
Olive Shoots Around the Table
Jonathan Franzone argues that children should be admitted to the Lord's Supper as covenant members of the church, drawing parallels between the Old Testament Passover and the New Testament communion, and emphasizing that Christ himself welcomed children and was displeased when they were hindered from approaching him. He contends that the primary proof text used to exclude children, 1 Corinthians 11, addresses divisiveness and drunkenness among adults and does not apply to children, while calling fathers to catechize their children at home as they participate in this means of grace.
Exhortation - Aug 16, 2026
Alan Stout exhorts the congregation that God knows every detail of their lives, from their morning rising to their evening rest, including all their words and actions, and invites them to confess their sins not because God is unaware of them but because He is waiting to forgive them through Christ's sacrifice. He emphasizes that this intimate knowledge of God should inspire worship and trust, as believers are enclosed and protected by God, whose pierced palm secured their forgiveness.

A Council to Kill
Alan Stout explains how Jesus' raising of Lazarus from the dead, while causing many to believe in him as the Messiah, prompted the Jewish council to plot his death out of fear that his popularity would provoke Roman retaliation and the destruction of their temple and nation. He concludes by exhorting believers to do what is right regardless of personal cost, protect their communities from those who would lead them astray, and trust that God remains in control even when evil plots unfold.

Exhortation - Aug 9, 2026
Dr. Uriesou Brito exhorts the congregation that life is full of paradoxes—moments where laughter and tears blend together—and that only Jesus Christ can provide resolution and meaning to life's confusing and difficult circumstances. He urges the people to enter into worship and lay their cares upon Jesus, trusting in his promise to care for them as their great shepherd.

A Psalm for the Waiting
Dr. Uriesou Brito examines Psalm 13 as a universal lament that invites Christians to bring their deepest anxieties and sorrows to God through repeated cries of "how long," arguing that such laments are expressions of covenant faith under pressure rather than unbelief. He demonstrates how David's fourfold "how long" addresses God's apparent absence, hidden face, inward confusion, and the exaltation of enemies, but crucially shows that David resolves each lament with trust in God's mercy and salvation, transforming vexation into petition, petition into trust, and ultimately trust into praise.
