One could hardly find a more faithful pastoral assistant than Michael Morgan, assistant to Lead Pastor Daniel Montgomery. And yet, this young Jedi appears to have met with a bad influence:

Are the sayings in Proverbs iron-clad guarantees? What happens when we do the right thing and get the wrong result? How do we navigate this crisis of faith?

Pastor Mike Cosper finished out the BC series yesterday, preaching Jonah. It’s a great sermon for anyone who knows someone who doesn’t know Christ (which, likely, is all of us). The devotional went through Jonah a couple of weeks back, and you can find that here. Jonah is a perfect book to meditate on for [...]

It’s Christmastime and Pastor Daniel Montgomery preached Micah 5:1-6 this past Sunday – the Shepherd-King for God’s people would come from Bethlehem and extend God’s greatness to the ends of the earth, ruling perfectly where all other rulers failed and/or died. The daily devotional and reading plan passed through Micah last week, but you can [...]

This past Sunday’s sermon text came from Amos. Amos is a beautiful book about God’s man shouldering the burden of God’s people for the sake of awakening them to parched injustice in the land and calling their attention to the river of God’s justice. God’s river of justice and righteousness will roll without stopping, and [...]

The Old Testament book of Hosea presents the beautiful good news that even though we have betrayed God as an adulterous wife would betray her husband, God has pursued us and bought us at a great cost (the death of his Son, Jesus) so that our relationship might be healed, our marriage to God restored. [...]

Pastor Mike Cosper gave a wonderful sermon on The Writing On the Wall in Daniel 5 yesterday (available here). For a relatively short book of the Bible, Daniel is packed with familiar stories – Daniel in the Lion’s Den, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the Fiery Furnace, The Writing on the Wall all appear in [...]

This Sunday, Sojourn’s BC sermon series through the Old Testament will continue in the book of Daniel. We urge you to read through this book with us. It’s 12 chapters long, so over the next week and a half, you could read the whole thing in just a chapter or two a day. The daily [...]
Elder Installation, pt. 2

As I prepared for Wednesday’s elder installation, I wanted it to be a significant event. In our history, elder installation was not done with any sort of ceremony, we just affirmed a guy and started calling him ‘elder.’ But I’ve come to realize that these sorts of events are hugely significant both in the lives [...]
