In Mark 10 he walks ahead, knowingly predicting betrayal, mocking, crucifixion, and “after three days he will rise,” taking on Daniel’s “Son of Man” role in a way no one expected. In Mark 11 he stages a humble but royal entry, fulfilling the promise of a gentle king on a colt and forcing the question: will you just shout “Hosanna,” or will you trust this King?2670nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1734713https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1734713Sun, 22 Mar 2026 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchEcclesiastes ends by saying that in a hevel world, everything still counts: every deed and “secret thing” will be brought before God, so our true calling is to fear him and keep his commands. This message pairs that verdict with 1 Corinthians 3, where our life’s work is tested by fire on the one foundation that lasts—Jesus Christ. The end of the matter isn’t escaping earth but letting God align what you’re building with his Kingdom so more of it survives as “gold” when the Day reveals what reall2695nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1729985https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1729985Sun, 15 Mar 2026 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchEcclesiastes 11–12 paints aging as both a slow “ceremony of losses” and a gift of more mornings of light to rejoice in. This sermon pushes back on the retirement-as-escape script and reframes later years as entrusted time from your Creator. You may retire from a job, but you never retire from remembering God or investing your strength, story, and prayers in his Kingdom and the generations coming after you.2692nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1725379https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1725379Sun, 08 Mar 2026 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchEcclesiastes 11 calls us to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start sowing seed—because “you do not know” what God will prosper. This sermon speaks to teens, mid‑lifers, and seniors alike, challenging analysis‑paralysis and nihilism with a bigger question: whose energy is this, really? Learn how to treat your strength (or weakness) as God’s to steward, take one wise, God‑honoring risk, and lean on Christ’s power that “works powerfully” in you instead of your own.2866nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1720506https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1720506Sun, 01 Mar 2026 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchEcclesiastes 9 and 11 call us to “go, eat…drink…enjoy” in the same hevel world that feels unfair and fragile, not because life is easy but because God is still generous. This sermon traces the story from Eden to Qohelet to Jesus, showing that we were created for joy with God, not slavery to pleasure or duty. Jesus—who shares the Father’s own joy—invites us to abide in his love so that “my joy may be in you, and your joy may be full,” making holiness and happiness not rivals but companions.2721nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1715624https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1715624Sun, 22 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchQohelet says the house of mourning is “better” than the house of feasting because it tells the truth about our limits and pushes us to “lay it to heart.” This sermon walks through death as a teacher, grief as a strange school of wisdom, and Jesus as the only anchor strong enough to hold when the storm hits. Drawing on Ecclesiastes 7 and 9 and the story of our daughter Ella’s death, we explore how facing our mortality can actually deepen hope, reshape priorities, and tether us more securely. 2830nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1710865https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1710865Sat, 14 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchEcclesiastes exposes “gold sickness”—loving money so much that it ends up owning you—and contrasts it with the quiet joy of receiving your portion as God’s gift. This message weaves Qohelet’s warning with Proverbs, Philippians, and 1 Timothy to show how gratitude, contentment, and generosity free us from the lie that “more” will finally be enough. When God himself becomes your treasure, you can hold wealth lightly, enjoy what you have, and share it freely—confident you already have more than enough in Christ.2902nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1706153https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1706153Sun, 08 Feb 2026 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchEcclesiastes says there’s “no gain under the sun,” yet calls your actual life—work, meals, relationships—“your lot” and “the gift of God.” This message explores how to stop chasing surplus, name both the favorites and “no‑thank‑you helpings” on your plate, and receive your real portion from God’s hand. Then, like the boy with loaves and fish, you’re invited to place that portion in Jesus’ hands and watch how he takes, blesses, breaks, and multiplies it for joy and kingdom good.2667nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1701715https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1701715Sun, 01 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchEcclesiastes names the hard truth: power is uneven, systems are tangled, and the oppressed often cry with no one to comfort them. This message looks honestly at injustice “under the sun,” then asks what we’ll do with the comfort and influence God has given us. Instead of tightening our grip or building higher walls, we’re invited to hand control back to God, fear Him more than discomfort, and widen our circles so the comfort we’ve received in Christ can reach those still in rough waters.2925nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1697296https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1697296Sun, 25 Jan 2026 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchPleasure keeps promising, “Just one more, then you’ll be satisfied”—but it never delivers. Ecclesiastes 2 shows Qohelet turning his life into a pleasure lab—laughter, projects, wealth, sex, parties—and still finding it all “chasing the wind.” This message unpacks why pleasure is a good gift but a terrible god, and how Jesus teaches us to enjoy small joys as gifts from the Father instead of trying to medicate our restlessness. 2614nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1674274https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1674274Sun, 18 Jan 2026 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchEver feel like your work and legacy won’t really matter—that you’re just another cog in the machine? Steve Copenhaver walks through Ecclesiastes 2–3 to show why toil and success feel empty “under the sun,” and how Jesus transforms ordinary labor into worship and inheritance. Discover how a gospel-shaped view of work turns daily grind into eternal impact, and why the only truly “new” thing under the sun—a life made new in Christ—can keep your legacy from fading. 2059nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1653287https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1653287Sun, 11 Jan 2026 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchLife doesn’t stay on “perma-summer,” no matter what our calendars demand. Ecclesiastes names the real seasons we can’t control—times to weep and to laugh, to build and to break down—and invites us to stop faking where we are. Instead of pretending you’re in a different chapter, this message calls you to receive your current season as a finite gift from God and live it before His face. Don’t waste energy chasing a season that’s not yours yet; learn to be faithful in the one you’re actually in.2171nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1648487https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1648487Sun, 04 Jan 2026 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchLife can feel weird—constant motion, no real arrival. Scripture names that restlessness as “chasing the wind”: working, achieving, and consuming in search of gain that never lasts. This message explores why wisdom, pleasure, work, and success can’t finally secure us—and how trusting God turns even life’s vapor into gift. Start the year not by doubling down on gain, but by learning to receive your days, your work, and your limits from Jesus, who alone can give meaning that outlasts the treadmill.2483nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1644648https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1644648Sun, 28 Dec 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchIn this final Advent message, we traced how the baby in the manger is also the King whose kingdom will never end. Isaiah, Paul, Peter, and John painted a picture of a reign that will one day fill everything—and of lives that matter now because of it. Watch to be called into “proactive patience”: handing over your little kingdoms in small, concrete acts of obedience that are never wasted in His eternal kingdom.2702nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1642976https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1642976Wed, 24 Dec 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchOn Christmas Eve we see that Christmas is not just about a quiet night; it’s about the arrival of true shalom. “Prince of Peace” means a ruler who makes wholeness happen—healing what’s fractured between us, within us, and between us and God. This message shows how Jesus brings peace that realigns our hearts with the Father and invites us to bring Him our most un‑peaceful places. 773nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1640239https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1640239Sun, 21 Dec 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchMany of us carry wounds from people who said, “I’ve got you,” and didn’t. This message explored “Everlasting Father” as God’s promise of a King whose father‑like care does not walk away, burn out, or age out. Discover how Jesus reveals the Father’s never‑letting‑go love and what it means to let Him “father” the orphaned places in your heart.2410nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1635914https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1635914Sun, 14 Dec 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchIn this sermon we looked at what happens when you hit the end of your strength and still try to power through. From Ahaz and Hezekiah to Jesus, “Mighty God” reveals a God who doesn’t just assist our plans but powerfully saves in our weakness. Hear the invitation to trade self-reliance for real dependence on the God whose strength stands out when yours gives out.2565nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1631508https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1631508Sun, 07 Dec 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchWhen your plans run out, Jesus is just getting started. In a world obsessed with strategies, hacks, and self-help, Isaiah 9 and John 1 reveal a different kind of wisdom: a child called “Wonderful Counselor,” God’s own miraculous wisdom stepping into our crisis. Like King Ahaz, we often want God to bless the plan we already made—but Jesus offers a trade. Bring Him the places where your plans are failing, and discover that His light, His guidance, and His story begin right where yours runs out.2258nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1627331https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1627331Sun, 30 Nov 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchThe fight of faith isn’t private or passive—it’s public, communal, and anchored in hope. In 1 Timothy 6:11–21, Paul urges us to openly declare our allegiance to King Jesus, pursue his kingdom character, and trust God rather than money, status, or secrets. Let’s be a church known for visible generosity, real integrity, and a public witness that invites others into the life and hope of Christ.3082nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1623126https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1623126Sun, 23 Nov 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchA Church’s true wealth isn’t found in budgets or buildings—it’s measured by how we honor, support, and grow people. In 1 Timothy 5:17–6:10, we're called to build a community marked by integrity, generosity, and accountability. Healthy leadership, wise stewardship, and generosity make the church stand out from a world obsessed with power and money. Invest in people, not pocketbooks—let’s be a family that multiplies trust, encouragement, and contentment for God’s glory and the good of our world.2813nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1618539https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1618539Sun, 16 Nov 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchGospel love starts at home and grows outward—real faith isn’t just words, but visible care for family, church, and the truly vulnerable. In a world overwhelmed by need, 1 Timothy 5:1–16 calls us to draw our circles of responsibility with “dots,” not walls: honoring our own, supporting our spiritual family, and always leaving room for those overlooked. Loving well at home builds credibility; opening our gates shows the world Christ’s compassion in action.2742nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1613988https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1613988Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchTraining for godliness isn’t a solo venture—it’s a team sport. 1 Timothy 4:6–16 calls us to grow stronger together, because your faith impacts the whole church. In God’s “gym,” every spiritual gain lifts others, and every struggle is felt by all. Show up, use your gifts, encourage someone, and let’s become a community where progress is contagious, hope multiplies, and Christ is seen in every step we take—side by side.2054nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1609652https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1609652Sun, 02 Nov 2025 17:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchNot all “spiritual fruit” comes from God’s Spirit. 1 Timothy 4:1–5 warns against chasing spiritual “badges” or performance, reminding us that true gospel fruit overflows with gratitude, humility, and love—not pride, comparison, or legalism. Spiritual practices should foster thanksgiving and unity, not envy or self-promotion. This week, trade striving for gratitude, and let the Spirit’s fruit show in your ordinary, thankful life.2525nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1605044https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1605044Sun, 26 Oct 2025 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchHey Church, what are you planning to do this week? Any chance it will require any of God's energy to accomplish or are you capable in your own strength to accomplish it?

If you’re following Christ, don’t be discouraged by the beautiful life He calls you to live together with the church—it’s the Spirit’s work in you. Credibility isn’t camouflage; it’s faithfulness in plain sight. The closest we get to perfection in this life is the lifestyle of repentance and allegiance to Jesus.1810nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1595900https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1595900Sun, 12 Oct 2025 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchGod’s good order heals chaos—not by power plays or silencing, but by inviting men and women to share in humble prayer, deep learning, and true partnership in Christ. 1 Timothy 2:8–15 is a call to move past rivalry and status, making Jesus the center as we become a community where every gift grows and all find dignity at His feet. Let’s build something better—where wisdom replaces war and the beauty of unity points the world to Him.3178nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1591461https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1591461Sun, 05 Oct 2025 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchPrayer for everyone can launch God's mission to someone. 1 Timothy 2:1–7 reminds us that simple prayers—even for one person—can break spiritual barriers and open hearts. God's desire is for all to know Him, and our ordinary prayers plant seeds for extraordinary transformation. This week, choose and pray for your “ONE”—trusting God to work through honest faith and small steps of love.

When world-changing events leave us searching for meaning, 1 Timothy 1:12–20 reminds us that Jesus delights to rewrite even the worst chapters with extravagant mercy. Don’t disqualify yourself—God turns messes into living proof of grace! Today, let the Author pick up your pen and start a new, hope-filled page.2142nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1582341https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1582341Sun, 21 Sep 2025 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchIn a time when naming sin is taboo and the world reels from events like Charlie Kirk’s death, 1 Timothy 1:8–11 shows why denying sin doesn’t set us free—it traps us deeper in shame and chaos. The law is a mirror for our wounds, not a weapon. Paul’s message: Only Jesus can move us from cycles of guilt and self-destruction to true forgiveness and new creation. Don’t hide—let grace bring you into the light.2956nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1577761https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1577761Sun, 14 Sep 2025 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchIn a week where Charlie Kirk’s death has unsettled many and sparked deep questions about faith, this message points us back to what truly endures. The Apostle Paul calls us to protect a gospel rooted in Christ-shaped love—love that stands firm in chaos, brings hope to anxious hearts, and isn’t shaken by controversy or outrage. Jesus will produce a resilient, authentic love—right where God’s placed you. This is a charge for all of us: guard the treasure, live the love, and shine in the dark.2862nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1573411https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1573411Sun, 07 Sep 2025 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian Church2902nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1568388https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1568388Sun, 31 Aug 2025 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchJustin Blair preaches the second to last sermon in the Romans series.1980nohttps://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1564091https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1564091Sun, 24 Aug 2025 16:00:00 GMTIssaquah Christian ChurchDiscover the power of gospel family in Romans 16:1-16.
