The King Comes In Yahweh's Name
Mark 11:1-10
This sermon on Mark 11:1-10 examines Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, revealing Him as the divine King who comes with Yahweh's authority. Pastor Anema demonstrates how Jesus exercises God's authority by commanding disciples to obtain an untrained colt and accurately predicting events before they happen. The sermon explores how Jesus receives praise as the victorious King, the promised Davidic King, and the saving King who came to deliver people from sin rather than political oppression. The message challenges listeners to submit to Jesus' authority, trust Him with their future, participate in His mission, rely on His faithfulness, and seek His salvation from sin daily.

The Powerful Humility Of The King
Matthew 27:32-34
"The Powerful Humility of The King" examines Matthew 27:32-44, focusing on Christ's journey to crucifixion and His endurance on the cross. The sermon reveals how Jesus demonstrated true power through humility rather than self-preservation. While the world mocked Him with demands to "save yourself," Christ's refusal to come down from the cross accomplished our salvation. The sermon challenges believers to embrace sacrificial living that reflects Christ's example—taking up our crosses in daily acts of self-denial that serve others. Through powerful examples and biblical connections, the sermon contrasts the world's understanding of power with Christ's kingdom values, ultimately showing that the life that truly matters is one lived in humble service rather than self-interest.

Maddening Rage Against The Lamb of God
John 11:45-53
This sermon by Dr. Mark Beach explores the account in John 11:45-53 of the religious leaders' plot to kill Jesus following the resurrection of Lazarus. The message examines the stark contrast between faith and unbelief in response to Jesus' miraculous works, particularly highlighting the irony of how the high priest Caiaphas unwittingly prophesied Christ's sacrificial death. The sermon addresses the central question: In the face of overwhelming evidence of Christ's identity, why do people still choose unbelief over faith?

The Dishonoring Of The King
Matthew 27:27-31
In this sermon on Matthew 27:27-31, Rev. John Vermeer explores the profound irony of Jesus' mocking by Roman soldiers, demonstrating how appearances can be deceiving in God's redemptive plan. The message contrasts worldly glory (focused on outward appearances) with true glory (found in Christ's sacrificial love), showing how the soldiers unwittingly created a portrait of fallen humanity while Jesus willingly bore our deserved humiliation. The sermon powerfully answers the question: "Why should Christ's apparent defeat and humiliation inspire rather than discourage us?" by revealing that this moment of seeming weakness was actually God preparing Christ as the Savior and King, offering believers "the ultimate opportunity of a lifetime" to know and serve the true King.

The Triumph of God's Grace
Genesis 14
In this sermon on Genesis 14, Rev. John Vermeer explores how an ancient battle narrative reveals profound truths about God's gracious work through Christ. The message examines the contrast between Abram as "his brother's keeper" and the mysterious figure of Melchizedek, King of Salem, showing how both point to Christ's redemptive work. The sermon addresses a key question: How do we distinguish between glorying in God's grace and glorying in ourselves? Through careful exposition, we see that this seemingly disconnected historical account ultimately demonstrates how God triumphs through apparent weakness, achieving victory not through human strength but divine provision.

The Backtracking of Abram
Genesis 13
This sermon explores the spiritual journey of Abraham in Genesis 13 as he returns from his detour in Egypt to the land God promised him. Through Abraham's experience, we see a powerful pattern of spiritual restoration: returning to God's promises, remaining faithful despite challenges, and experiencing God's renewal.
