    Pointing to Christ
    By: Kevin Graves
    Series: Individual messages
    Kevin explores the Old Testament sacrifices as described in Leviticus. He emphasizes how these sacrifices foreshadow and point to Jesus Christ's ultimate sacrifice. He explains that while animal sacrifices could not truly take away sin, they were acts of worship and obedience that demonstrated faith. Kevin highlights how Jesus fulfills the role of the perfect sacrifice, taking away sin once and for all. It also stresses the importance of continual praise and worship as our "burnt offering" to God in response to Christ's sacrifice.

    Mercy in the Sand: Understanding Grace and Transformation
    By: Jeff Riley
    Series: Gospel of John

    Pastor delved into John 8:2-11, the story of the woman caught in adultery. Despite questions about its original placement in Scripture, we explored its profound truths about God's mercy, grace, and call to transformation. The sermon highlighted Jesus' wisdom in dealing with the Pharisees' trap and His compassionate yet firm approach to the accused woman. It emphasized the balance between God's forgiveness and His expectation for us to pursue holiness.
