On Sunday, Pastor Kent walked us through a single verse, Isaiah 53:5, what he called the very center of the gospel. He gave us four words for how Jesus suffered: pierced, crushed, chastised, wounded.

The word pierced stopped us in our tracks. The only other time Isaiah uses it is 51:9, where God’s people beg the arm of the Lord to pierce the dragon, as he once struck Egypt to set them free. The answer came at the cross, where God’s own arm was pierced. He was stabbed for our rebellion, crushed for our twisted sin, punished so we could have peace with God, wounded so we could be healed.

We downplay our sin, Kent said, so we downplay what it cost. Will you let the cross show you how serious your sin really is, and how much greater the grace that covers it?

We came to the Lord’s table with quiet, astonished gratitude for grace we could never deserve.

On Sunday, Pastor Kent slowed to a single Hebrew verb in Isaiah 53:4: surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. His sermon title came from it. How Omnipotence Labored.

That verb pictures a slave whose whole existence was to lift a load, haul it, and turn back for another, day after day, until he died and was replaced. That, Kent said, is how Jesus lived.

He walked us through Matthew 8, where Jesus touches a l***r, a paralyzed servant, a fevered woman, taking their sickness onto himself. Where did it all go? He carried it, his whole life, all the way to the cross.

That means your sorrows are terminal. They have an end date. This verse deals with the fruit of the fall. The root, he said, comes next week.

Our culture is obsessed with appearance. Entire social media feeds are built on nothing but how people look.

Yet the Bible never records Jesus’ physical features. Except once.

Isaiah 53:2 gives us the only sketch of what Jesus looked like when he came. No form. No majesty. No beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.

This Sunday, Pastor Kent walked us through Isaiah 53:2-3 and what omnipotence looked and lived like. The world despised him, deserted him, and finally killed him. And in the mystery of God’s plan, that death became our salvation.

Nothing about the Servant was wasted. Every sorrow carried him to the cross, for us.

Paul wrote 2 Timothy chained in a Roman prison. And from that cell he tells Timothy: I am bound, but the word of God is not.

Tyler Dresdow preached 2 Timothy 2:8-13 this Sunday, where Paul gives Timothy, his own discouraged young protégé, three things to remember: the person of Christ, risen and reigning. The plan of Christ, whose word has never been chained. The faithfulness of Christ, who rewards, who judges, and who holds his own fast.

Remembering is a choice, and it takes work. But when you are too weak to look to Christ, he remains faithful still. He cannot deny himself.

We also celebrated four baptisms this Sunday, and it was fitting to hear from Tyler, who will be leading our next church plant in Martinez.

One verse from Joshua 24 hangs on walls all over our homes: as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. But a few lines later, in the same passage, sits a verse no one puts on a t-shirt. You are not able to serve the Lord... he will not forgive your transgressions. Joshua 24:19, called the most shocking verse in the Old Testament.

Sunday we saw that Joshua wasn’t declaring obedience impossible. He was warning Israel not to serve a holy, jealous God casually, with a divided heart. God doesn’t ask to be added to your devotion. He calls for all of it.

So the question isn’t only who your master is, but whether your heart is fully his. Christ alone was broken for us, and the point isn’t merely to stop sinning. It is to love him from the heart. As for me and my heart, we will serve the Lord.

Last night we set aside an extended evening just to sing, shaped by Paul's charge in Colossians 3:16 to let the word of Christ dwell in us richly. We moved through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, lifting our voices to the greatness of God, resting in the comfort of "It Is Well," and answering the call to come to Jesus for rest.

We also had the joy of witnessing a baptism, as one brother followed the Lord in obedience and publicly professed his faith in Christ. A clear picture of a life already united to the Savior.

We were reminded that our singing is never only for ourselves. When the church sings together, we strengthen one another and give thanks to God with our whole hearts.

One verse. Five minutes. A little courage. That is all it took for a stranger to share the gospel with a searching young traveler on a street in New Delhi back in 1976, and it changed his life forever. That young man was John Glass, our guest preacher this morning, who now pastors Geneva Bible Church in Switzerland and has spent more than 40 years planting churches and preaching the gospel across Europe.

Preaching from Acts 8:26-40 and the conversion of the Ethiopian eu**ch, John showed us three simple keys to what he called a divine appointment. God prepares the messenger, God prepares the heart that is ready to hear, and God brings them together for His glory. The encouragement was freeing. You do not have to be a professional. Do you know one verse, like John 3:16? Can you spare five minutes? The people around you are searching for truth, and God may be preparing them, and you.

Every July, the NorthCreek family sets aside a week for Family Camp. It is time away from the usual rhythm, built around shared meals, marshmallows over the fire, kids running around, and voices lifted in song under the trees. Behind all of it is one purpose, to know Christ together and to grow as His people.

One of the sweetest parts of camp, year after year, is baptism. This year two people stepped into the water to give public testimony that they belong to Christ, an outward sign of the work He had already done in their hearts.
