04 The Sins of Israel Unmasked – Amos 2:6-16

PM Sermon, 01 March 2026 04 The Sins of Israel Unmasked  Amos 2:6-16 Introduction Congregation, we are entering into one of the most searching passages in all of the prophets. Amos was a shepherd from Tekoa, a man of the soil, not from the schools of the prophets. God raised him up to proclaim His Word in the days of Jeroboam II, when Israel was outwardly strong, prosperous, and self-confident. The northern kingdom was expanding its borders, trade was flourishing,…

03 Judah and the Danger of Religious Presumption – Amos 2:4-5

PM 08 Feb 2026 03 Judah and the Danger of Religious Presumption – Amos 2:4-5 Introduction — The Lion Turns on His Own Brothers and sisters, as we open God’s Word to Amos chapter 2 this evening, I want you to picture the scene. The prophet Amos is standing in the public square, delivering the Word of the Lord. And as he speaks, the people of Israel lean in to listen. Up to this point, every oracle has been about…

Psalm 36 How Precous Is Your Steadfast Love

PM 16 Nov 2025 Psalm 36 How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love 16 Nov 2025 Introduction Brothers and sisters, when you look around at the world, you can’t help but see the contrasts, can you? There’s beauty — in the sunrise, in a child’s laughter, in the kindness of a friend — but there’s also so much brokenness. Sin has stained everything. We see it in the headlines, in the suffering around us, and if we’re honest, we see it…

23 Examine Yourselves – Christ’s Power in our Weakness – 2 Corinthians 13:1-10.

AM Service, 26 October 2025 In this expository sermon on 2 Corinthians 13:1–10, “Examine Yourselves: Christ’s Power in Our Weakness,” Pastor John Butler proclaims Paul’s final call to the Corinthians—a summons to honest self-examination, repentance, and restoration through Christ’s indwelling power. The message unfolds the paradox of divine strength revealed in human frailty, urging believers to submit to Christ’s loving discipline, depend on His grace in weakness, and pursue holiness and unity within the church. A deeply pastoral and searching…

03 Forgiveness, Restoration, and Christ-like Leadership in the Church – 2 Corinthians 1:23-2:11

AM Worship Service, 01 June 2025 Today we turn our attention to a deeply pastoral passage of Scripture, 2 Corinthians 1:23–2:11. To understand it rightly, we must first grasp the situation in Corinth that prompted the Apostle Paul’s words. Paul’s relationship with the Corinthian church was severely strained. False accusations had arisen against him, questioning his sincerity and integrity. Sin within the congregation had not only damaged relationships but had begun to tear the fabric of unity. Paul’s apostolic authority…

14 The Fool, the Faithful, and the Future Hope

PM Worship Service 11 May 2025 Psalm 14 is a profound declaration of human depravity, divine justice, and ultimate salvation. David, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, describes the rebellion of fallen humanity, the oppression of the righteous, and the hope of deliverance that comes from God alone. The apostle Paul later applies this psalm universally in Romans 3, demonstrating that all people stand guilty before God and are in desperate need of His saving grace. In this psalm,…

21 Take Heed Lest You Fall – 1 CorinTHIANS 10:1-13

Preached at AM Service, 01 December 2024 Today we come to a passage in 1 Corinthians that acts as both a mirror and a warning. Paul writes to the Corinthians, and in his message to them, we hear a call that reaches across time and culture, calling us to examine our hearts and our walk with God. The people of Israel, Paul reminds us, enjoyed incredible spiritual privileges. They were led by God Himself through the wilderness; they walked under…

14 Glorifying God with Our Bodies – 1 Corinthians 6’12-20

Preached at AM Service, 13 October 2024 Questions based on this morning’s sermon on 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 Questions Based on the Sermon: 1. Understanding Christian Liberty: o Do you view your freedom in Christ as an opportunity to indulge in desires, or as a call to glorify God? o Are there areas in your life where you are exercising liberty, but it may not be spiritually beneficial? o Is there anything in your life that is lawful but is beginning…

13 Living Out Our New Identity in Christ – 1 Corinthians 6:1-11

Preached at AM Service 06 October 2024 In 1 Corinthians 6:1-11, Paul confronts the Corinthians for taking their grievances against fellow believers to secular courts instead of resolving these matters within the church. This issue wasn’t just about lawsuits; it was about identity. The Corinthians were failing to live in a way that reflected their new identity in Christ. They were acting like the world, not like people transformed by the gospel. At the heart of this passage is a…
