Advertise on podcast: The Rev. Nick Lannon

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Philippians 2 (in which Paul describes Jesus' lowering of himself in order to save us) and Matthew 21, in which Jesus tells a parable about two sons. Only God, in Christ Jesus, can and does reorient hearts to love him.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Jonah 3 (in which the evangelist sulks) and Matthew 20 (in which Jesus tells a parable about 11th hour workers). The generosity and salvation of God is not for those who work, but for those who believe.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 18, in which Jesus tells a parable about an unforgiving servant. We can forgive only because, on the cross, God has taken the penalty for our sin back onto himself.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 18, in which Jesus gives a rubric for discipline in the church. Church discipline is all about the Gospel: it protects our proclamation, and enables the forgiveness of sinners.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 16, in which Jesus rebukes Peter for seeking to block his crucifixion. Jesus will not merely show us the way to live, he will be the way of salvation for sinners.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Exodus 1, in which the baby Moses is sent to live in Pharoah's house. Moses' temporary saving of his people points us to Jesus, and his finished saving work for sinners.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 15, in Jesus heals a Canaanite woman's daughter. God's mercy isn't available to all because all are worthy, it is available to all who confess their need.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 14, in which Peter walks (briefly) on water. The message is not to be better than Peter, but to call out to Jesus, the savior of sinners.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Isaiah 55 (in which God promises food and drink for free) and Matthew 14 (in which Jesus feeds five thousand hungry men). Don't work for something that will not satisfy when Jesus Christ—the savior of sinners—is standing right in front of you.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 29, in which Jacob chooses Rachel over Leah. In Christ, God does not look for the righteous, but instead makes sinners lovely.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Romans 7, in which Paul cries out from the depths of despair, and Matthew 11, in which Jesus says his yoke is easy. The weight of our sin is gloriously carried on the shoulders of our savior.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 22, in which Abraham is called by God to sacrifice Isaac. The faithfulness ultimately in question in this story is not Abraham's, but God's. And God provides, every time.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Romans 6, in which Paul suggests that Christians, who have died to sin, cannot continue to live in it. Sin is met not with the law, but with a double dose of the Gospel: the announcement of new life in Christ.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 18, in which Abraham and Sarah speak to God about his promises. Our God brings something out of nothing and life out of death. This is how he saves sinners like us.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 9, in which Matthew narrates his conversion. Jesus has a wide mission field—all sinners everywhere—but a narrow mission: he comes to raise the dead to new life.
