Dear OBC Family, The troubles and worries of the world can sometimes feel overwhelming, even for Christians. What is your refuge? Are you tempted to distraction, or do you refresh your soul by drinking from the river of life? This Sunday we turn again to the Psalms of the Sons of Korah for a reminder of just how present the Lord is in whatever we a…

Clap, Shout, and Sing! (Psalm 47) 45:02

Play Pause

3M ago45:02

45:02

Dear OBC Family, A President that may or may not have an adequate degree of cognitive ability to lead the country. An opposing candidate who is almost assassinated. A Vice-President who has been rewriting the summary of her official duties for the past almost four years. An Olympics opening ceremony that openly mocks Christians and flaunts sexual d…

Faithfulness, Suffering, and Redemption (Psalm 44) 42:07

3M ago42:07

42:07

Dear OBC Family, Does sorrow provoke you to draw near to the Lord, or does suffering tempt your heart to forsake Him? This Sunday we turn again to a lament in the Psalms of the Sons of Korah as the people of God are experiencing great suffering at the hands of their enemies. I invite you to read Psalm 44 in preparation for worship. As you read, pay…

Hope in God (Psalm 42-43) 42:48

4M ago42:48

42:48

Dear OBC Family, This Sunday we will begin a new summer sermon series in Psalms, and we will be preaching through the first collection of the Psalms of the Sons of Korah in Psalm 42-49. Regardless of what season you’re in, it is good for us to consider how God is our exceeding joy. This is especially true in seasons of difficulty or grief. Let us r…

What is a Nation? Seven Truths from the Table of Nations 56:15

4M ago56:15

56:15

Dear OBC Family, On Thursday, America celebrated 248 years of independence from England. With fireworks, cookouts, and a host of other American celebrations, Americans remembered the historical origin story of our nation. Or, at least, most did. Today, cultural amnesia afflicts many in our country and as a result, many who enjoy the fireworks may n…

Finding a Faithful Older Brother: What Shem, Ham, and Japheth Reveal about Christ and the Cosmos (Ge 49:28

4M ago49:28

49:28

Dear OBC Family, I have to make a confession: When I started to prepare for this week’s sermon on Genesis 9:18–29, I didn’t think much of the passage. Or, at least, I didn’t quite know what to make of it. This last section about Noah does not have the same drama as the flood, it’s not that long, it’s something of a transition passage, and its curse…

Waiting for the New Heavens and the New Earth (2 Peter 3) 40:41

5M ago40:41

40:41

Dear OBC Family, This week we will examine the ongoing implications of the Great Flood as we consider 2 Peter 3. Lord willing, we will return to Genesis the following week. I encourage you to read this chapter in preparation for worship and consider what it means to grow in grace and the knowledge of Christ as we await the return of our Lord. I loo…

The Stewardship of Faith 41:59

5M ago41:59

41:59

Dear OBC Family, Looking back to the first century, there were many threats for the early church. False doctrine was being promoted, some had swerved from the truth, and others had shipwrecked their faith. In 1 Timothy 1, Paul charged Timothy with specific actions he must take in order to care for and protect the Ephesian church. This Sunday we’re …

Remembering the Rainbow: 6 Parts of God's Covenant with Noah... And Us 52:06

5M ago52:06

52:06

Dear OBC Family, When was the last time you saw a rainbow? And what did you think when you saw it? What did you remember? On Sunday, we will see what God has to say about rainbows and what the meaning of the rainbow is. Indeed, the rainbow is a sign of God’s grace and we should remember the covenant with Noah that is still in effect today. To prepa…

In the Beginning... Again: 5 Puzzle Pieces to Put the World Back Together (Gen. 8:20-9:7) 51:14

5M ago51:14

51:14

Dear OBC Family, What is the world like? Is it like the beginning? Or is it completely different after the flood? And what does it matter? While we are often tempted to simply think about what comes next in our own lives, families, careers, or ministries, we need to slow down and consider the stage on which we live, move, and have our being. We are…

But God Remembered: The Gospel According to Noah 55:19

5M ago55:19

55:19

Dear OBC Family, As we come to Memorial Day weekend, we will take our time remembering that God remembered (Gen. 8:1). Indeed, in a world awash with sin, sorrow, loss, and longing, we sometimes wonder—aloud or in quiet desperation—does God remember? If God is for us, why does it seem like he is so long in coming, answering prayer, or changing circu…

The Baptism of Noah: What the Waters of Judgement Have to Do with the Waters of Baptism 59:08

6M ago59:08

59:08

Dear OBC Family, What does baptism have to do with the flood? Or to reverse it, what does the flood have to do with baptism? This Sunday, we will discover that baptism is not simply an ordinance that divides churches—do we baptize infants, or only believers? (The answer is believers 😀). In answer to the question, baptism is actually the way God has…

The Rise and Fall of God’s Flood, Noah’s Ark, and Your Salvation through Judgement (Gen. 6:9-7:10) 55:08

6M ago55:08

55:08

Dear OBC Family, At the end of the nineteenth century, Abraham Kuyper, the Dutch polymath who was at various times a pastor, theologian, editor, educator, and Prime Minister of the Netherlands, wrote a volume addressing common grace. Common grace is the doctrine that says God shows varying degrees of kindness to all creation, not just those who tru…

Or Giants: Enlarging Our Vision of God's World, God's Son, and God's Salvation (Gen. 6:1-8) 1:00:04

6M ago1:00:04

1:00:04

Dear OBC Family, On Sunday, we take the first step toward understanding the history of the flood—its causes, its characters, and its covenant. In particular, we will spend time looking at the strange statements found in Genesis 6:1–4. Who were the sons of God? Who were the daughters of man? Who were the Nephilim? How do they relate to one another? …

The True and Better Enoch: Moving from the Genealogy of Adam to the Genealogy of Jesus (Gen. 5:1-32) 1:04:37

6M ago1:04:37

1:04:37

On Sunday, we return to our study of Genesis. And for those who have been waiting to hear about the Nephilim in Genesis 6, you’ll have to wait one more week. For this Sunday, we have a genealogy to journey. And I say journey, because the names and events related to this list of figures is anything but boring. Indeed, from Seth to Enoch to Noah, we …

God & Government - Capitol Commission 1:07:43

7M ago1:07:43

1:07:43

In Acts 13:1–3, the church in Antioch gathered to worship the Lord. And as they worshiped, the Holy Spirit identified Barnabas and Saul for missionary service. In response, the church continued to fast and pray, and then they laid hands on the newfound missionaries and sent them out. Ever since, faithful churches have followed a similar pattern. Th…

Working Out With Weights: How the Glory of God Shapes Us (Exodus 33:12-34:9) 38:13

7M ago38:13

38:13

Dear OBC Family, There's an old adage that goes something like this: "In order to get strong, you have to pick up something heavy." Lifting weights builds muscle, and resistance shapes our bodies and makes us stronger. The weight of God's glory likewise shapes us and strengthens us in ways that we can't do ourselves. This Sunday, we'll take a brief…

"If You Build It, He Will Come": Seeking First the Altar of God, Not the City of Man (Gen. 4:17-26) 55:39

7M ago55:39

55:39

Worship is why we are here. When God made us, he created us in his image to worship him. Yet, fallen in Adam, we will not worship God rightly unless God makes us worship him rightly. Indeed, this is a major point in Genesis 4. The chapter begins with worship, as Adam’s children bring sacrifices to God. And the chapter ends with worship, as Seth cal…

Resurrection Day Service 46:35

He is risen! Well actually, depending on when you read this, as you remember Christ’s holy week, it is probable that you will read this before his resurrection on the first day of the week. Today, as we celebrate Good Friday, we remember the seven sayings of Jesus from the cross. And tonight, we will come to the final statement, where Jesus entrust…

Ascending the Hill of the Lord: Three Lessons from Cain's Sin & Christ's Sacrifice (Gen. 4:8-16) 57:15

8M ago57:15

57:15

Dear OBC Family, Last Sunday we saw in Genesis 4:1-7 how God offered grace to Cain when his sacrifice was not accepted. In that sermon, we learned a great deal about the way God expects us to worship him. This Sunday, we pick up in Genesis 4:8-16 where we will see how Cain’s refusal to worship God in truth and to receive his offer of grace results …

Cain and Abel: Trading Sibling Rivalry for Brotherly Affection 53:10

8M ago53:10

53:10

Dear OBC Family, For the last six months we have spent our time learning about God’s creation and covenant in Genesis 1–3. This Sunday, we enter a new sermon series on God's salvation and judgment which is seen in the earliest generations of humanity. From Genesis 4–11, we find that that the mercy and justice of God, first seen in Genesis 3:14–19, …

He Gets Us: Reimagining the Fallout of Adam and Eve's Sin (Gen. 3:7b-13) 1:25:42

9M ago1:25:42

1:25:42

Dear OBC Family, If I had to outline Genesis 3, it would fall under the following headings. Genesis 3:1–6: The Fall. Genesis 3:7–13: The Fallout. Genesis 3:14–24: The Way Out. In these three steps, we get a sense of what happens to the first man and woman. First, seeking to be wise, they became fools. They broke God’s law, ate of the fruit, and inv…

The Fall: From Wisdom That Grasps for Death, To Wisdom That Gives Eternal Life (Gen. 2:25-3:7a) 54:10

9M ago54:10

54:10

Dear OBC Family, Without a proper understanding of Genesis 3, it is impossible to understand the world and our place in it. Accordingly, we will take the next three weeks to examine this important chapter. Beginning with the Serpent entering the garden (v. 1), we will see what happens as Eve is deceived, Adam rebels, both hide, and God comes down t…

Situational Awareness: Restoring Fellowship with Truth and Love (3 John) 53:52

9M ago53:52

53:52

Dear OBC Family, In 3 John, we move from the universal church of 1 John, to the local church of 2 John, to an individual Christian by the name of Gaius. Interestingly, if we titled 3 John the way we title 1–2 Timothy and Titus, this letter would actually be called Gaius, not 3 John. And though I don’t think we need to rename this letter, recognizin…

Four Loves: The Path to True Fellowship (2 John) 55:41

10M ago55:41

55:41

Dear OBC Family, Join us on Sunday as we move from 1 John to 2 John. In pursuit of learning what true fellowship looks like, we are going to consider the short epistle of 2 John. Only 13 verses long, this letter is filled with instructions for standing in the truth and loving one another in obedience to God’s truth. As Scripture teaches, the only f…

How Fellowship Works: Cain, The Cross, and Command to Love One Another (1 John 3:11-18) 1:01:05

10M ago1:01:05

1:01:05

Dear OBC Family, As we come to Sunday, there are at least three things to know about as you prepare for worship. First, we will again be taking time to offer a prayer of confession as a congregation. These times of corporate confession are meant to provoke us to see sin where we would not see it unassisted. It is not meant to accuse any individual …

Four Truths of Fellowship (1 John 1:1-2:6) 50:32

10M ago50:32

50:32

Dear OBC Family, As we know all too well, sin always separates. And thus, when fellowship breaks, there is, lurking somewhere, sin unconfessed. In those times, it is tempting to fix the problem(s) with our own wisdom and to work overtime to recreate the fellowship that was had before. Yet, in times when fellowship is lost, we must remember that God…

Holding Fast in the Midst of a (Midlife) Crisis (Psalm 102) 52:45

10M ago52:45

52:45

December 31 is a day unlike any other. As the final day of our calendar hits, it makes us look back on our last year and consider what God did, what we did, and what we might do going forward. Looking into the rear view gives us a chance to give thanks to God for his faithfulness, to lament over various sins and sorrows, to learn from mistakes, and…

The Mercy of God in Mary's Magnificat 44:38

44:38

Dear OBC Family, Few days on the calendar are more hopeful or joy-giving than Christmas Eve. Yet, what often brings comfort and unites family can be extra difficult when families are separated or the sirens of war ring out. Indeed, Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace and well-being, but sometimes its not. Nevertheless, instead of letting th…

YHWH is Gracious 42:05

Dear OBC Family, Over these past weeks we have celebrated the birth of several children in our congregation, and this is a wonderful thing. Every child is a gift of God’s grace. As parents we pray for our children, and for what kind of people they will grow up to become. This Sunday, we will look at a birth announcement of John the Baptist, as give…

All That Has Been Accomplished Among Us (Luke 1:1-4) 40:34

Sermon Introduction Will the package arrive on time? As we approach Christmas, it's a question we often find ourselves asking. No matter how much free 2-day shipping is promised, nothing is certain in a season of short supplies and busy distribution. As we take a break from our sermon series on Genesis to focus on the season of Advent, we'll be loo…

Getting More Than Red-Pilled: Seeing Christ in God's Good Creation (Gen. 2:18-25) 50:03

11M ago50:03

50:03

On Sunday we come to the last part of Genesis 2. Early this year, we spent some time in this section of Scripture when we looked at the Business of Is-Ness: Ontology 101. In that series we considered the nature of humanity, male and female, marriage and more. In so many ways, the ethical problems of our day (e.g., transgenderism, so-called same sex…

Seeing the World with New Eyes (Gen 2:15-17) 1:37:28

1:37:28

On this Black Friday, I hope you are finding a few good deals and remembering God’s good news—that we who live in the land of ephemeral abundance are promised a great abundant life in Christ. On Sunday, we will begin this season of Advent by seeing the way Genesis 2:15–17 explains the gospel to us. While salvation is promised to all those who truly…

From Dust to Life and Fruitfulness (Gen 2:4-14) 41:08

12M ago41:08

41:08

We are dust. It’s not an inspiring reality, but it’s one that should humble us. We have come from the dust, and because of sin, we will return to the dust. The dust reminds us that we are mortal and our days our fleeting. Yet for all who are in Christ, we have great hope beyond the dust. The creation of Adam (Gen 2) points us forward to the resurre…
