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.
A Brief History of the World in the Postmillennial Hope
Dr. Uriesou Brito argues that Christians should embrace a post-millennial eschatology that views Jesus Christ as the true conqueror of evil who is actively sanctifying history and directing it toward God's purposes, rather than adopting a defeatist worldview that emerged after World War II. He emphasizes that this theological conviction should shape every aspect of congregational life, from Christian education to cultural engagement, as believers work faithfully over the long term to see God's kingdom expand and transform society according to biblical principles.
Exhortation - Aug 2, 2026
Dr. Ursesou Brito exhorts the church to overcome its inferiority complex by trusting in God's promises and recognizing that Christ has already risen, ascended, and reigns over all creation. He challenges believers to stop acting as though they are destined for defeat and instead embrace their faith as the redemptive power to confront evil, understanding that worship renews their trust in Jesus as the reigning King whose throne is occupied and whose victory is already secured.
Baptism Exhortation - July 26, 2026
Dr. Uriesou Brito emphasizes that baptism is a sacred identity marker that identifies Christians with Jesus Christ and distinguishes them as his followers, serving as a spiritual photograph and identity card that shapes and guides believers throughout their lives. He calls upon the Peterson family and the congregation to commit to nurturing the newly baptized child in the Christian faith, reminding them that Christ's love and sacrifice for humanity precedes and undergirds all Christian identity and practice.
“It’s Only Words?”: Flattery, Faithful Speech, and the Pure Words of God
Dr. Uriesou Brito preaches on Psalm 12, warning the congregation about the dangers of flattery and corrupt speech, which manipulate others for selfish purposes and undermine God's people, contrasting this with the pure and trustworthy words of the Lord. He calls believers to guard their speech carefully, pray boldly for God's help, and ground themselves in God's word so that their homes and church community reflect godliness rather than the destructive patterns of flattering lips and double hearts.
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.
Hadley Baptism Exhortation - July 19. 2026
Alan Stout delivers a baptism exhortation for Sabrina Ella Grace Hadley, invoking God's mercy and peace while drawing on Psalm 23 to emphasize how the Lord will shepherd her throughout her life with goodness and mercy. He calls upon the congregation and parents to commit to raising Sabrina in the Christian faith and reminds her that Jesus Christ has already suffered and died for her salvation, establishing the foundation of God's love that precedes her own faith.
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.
