Noah’s descendants are corrupted by sin just as the humans had been before the flood. This time they decide to build a tower up to the heavens in order to "make a name for themselves". While this is ridiculous on its face, God got the message loud and clear. In yet another act of justice and mercy, God sabotages their operation by confusing their language and dispersing them all over the planet. The dividing lines of ethnolinguistic groups are put into place to both frustrate human hubris and awaken humans to their spiritual need. Find out in this sermon about this great dispersal and the great reversal that is brought about by God through Christ.

The Saints:: King (Palm Sunday)
Ephesians 4:1-16
By Robert Krumrey

It’s Palm Sunday and we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem - the beginning of what Christians call Holy Week. How could Jesus go from being hailed as the messianic King on Sunday to hanging on a Roman cross on Friday? Part of the reason is a misunderstanding of Jesus’ kingship. The crowd that day (and us) tend to  think way too small when it comes to King Jesus. Find out more in this sermon about the cosmic scale of Jesus’ kingdom, how it was inaugurated, and how it’s being expressed through the local church of today.

The Story of Hope (Easter Sunday)
Mark 15:37-16:8
By Robert Krumrey

Everyone has two plotlines that are unfolding in their lives. Plotline 1 is whatever one tells themselves to get out of bed in the morning - a story of a positive future outcome (more money, a family, prestige, political utopia, a.k.a. “hope”. Plotline 2 is that we are all heading to our grave. Plotline 1 usually serves as a distraction from Plotline 2, but regardless they are on a collision course. Then comes Jesus. His plotline 2 (grave) gives way to a post-mortem plotline (resurrection) that gives us an indestructible story of hope for this life and the life to come. Find out more in this sermon on the story of resurrection hope.

There seems to be a massive rift between Christians that want to emphasize love and those who want to emphasize morality. The rift is so prevalent that we can begin to think they are mutually exclusive. This week's passage shows us how to wisely walk the tightrope of walking in love while also walking in holiness.
