What does it mean to be human, and what gives our lives meaning, value, and purpose? Psalm 8 answers those questions by first turning our attention away from ourselves and toward the God who made us. We cannot truly understand who we are until we understand who He is.
Though we are small against the vastness of creation, we are not insignificant. The God who created and rules the heavens is mindful of us. He made us in His image, crowned humanity with glory and honor, and gave us a purpose within His creation.
Ultimately, Psalm 8 points us beyond ourselves to Jesus—the majestic God who took on humanity, came to save sinners, died, and rose again. In Him, we find the answer not only to “What is man?” but also to why we are here and where our hope is found.

God blesses His people for a greater purpose: that His name would be known and worshiped among all nations. In this sermon from Psalm 67, we reflect on God's faithfulness, our responsibility to steward His blessings, and the mission of the church as Stonebridge celebrates its first Sunday in our new facility.
Jesus’ death was no accident. The details of His crucifixion unfolded according to God’s plan and fulfilled His Word. In this episode, we examine John 19:19–29 alongside Psalm 22 to see Jesus as King, High Priest, loving Son, and suffering Savior. Through the dividing of His garments, His care for His mother, and His thirst, we discover the depth of His love and the sacrifice He offered for sinners. Listen as we consider how the cross strengthens our confidence in Scripture and calls us to respond to Jesus with faith and a life turned from sin.
In this sermon, we come to the cross - the climax of history and the heart of the Christian faith. Jesus willingly goes to Golgotha as our substitute, bearing the penalty of sin and accomplishing the work of salvation on behalf of sinners.
In John 19:1–15, Jesus stands before Pilate beaten, mocked, and crowned with thorns. Yet in the midst of His humiliation, we see His glory revealed. The innocent Son of God willingly bears the curse, shame, and suffering that sinners deserve, fulfilling the plan of God and preparing to become the blameless sacrifice in our place.
In John 18:28–40, Jesus stands before Pilate as the innocent King while the world around Him rejects the truth standing right in front of them. As Pilate wrestles with the question, “What is truth?” Jesus reveals that His kingdom is not of this world and that He came to testify to the truth. The truth is not merely something to understand—it is found in the person of Jesus Christ.
