We left Jonah, at the end of chapter two, vomit-drenched standing on the beach having spent the last three days inside a great fish. As he comes to his senses, and his eyes acclimate to the light, the word of the Lord comes to him a second time, saying “Arise, go to Nineveh, that [...]

Last week, we left Jonah sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Owning his sin and realizing that he cannot run from God, Jonah places himself in God’s hands and is thrown overboard into the sea. This week we look at chapter two, Jonah’s prayer, which recounts his downward descent into the deep [...]

This month we are diving into the book of Jonah. On Sunday we began with chapter one and examined how we are very much like Jonah. The book of Jonah is about a prophet from Gath-hepher (2 Kings 14:25), 3 miles northeast of Nazareth, who lived during the reign of Jeroboam II (793-753 B.C.). God [...]

Last week we looked at John 15:1-11 that speaks about abiding, pruning and bearing fruit for Jesus. There, Jesus tells us that the Christian life is akin to the relationship between the branch and the vine of a grape vine in that all life flows from the vine to the branch, which in turns bears [...]

Given that we have just completed the 13-week Doctrine series on the central truths of the Christian faith, I thought it would be helpful to spend a couple weeks walking through the 15th chapter of the Gospel of John that describes a life that digests these truths, in faith, and lives them out day-by-day, moment-by-moment, [...]

Disclaimer: On Sunday, June 15th, the satellite sermon feed for the 9AM service went down and was unable to be fixed before the start of the service. Therefore, on short notice, Pastor Adam Sinnett preached the following message in lieu of the Doctrine series.

Here are the notes from the sermon: Killing Sin Notes
For those of [...]

During my sophomore year in college at the University of Washington I had a bike accident in which I broke my neck (C2 vertebrae), dislocated my jaw, and fractured my face in four locations. I like to say that I’ve only broken one bone in my life – my neck! Though initially there was thought [...]

In the Scriptures, the Christian life is frequently portrayed as a battle or fierce competition. Yet, oddly, Christians often live as though it is peacetime and not wartime, particularly in Seattle. We can all imagine the outcome if one were to mistakenly think that it was peacetime amidst a battle or if a US soldier [...]

On Dec 30th, 2007, Pastor Adam preached on the life of John the Baptist.
Have you ever asked, “Is Jesus really who he said he is?” If so, you’re in good company - John the Baptizer did, even after witnessing Jesus’ baptism, even after publicly proclaiming Jesus to be “Lamb of God who takes away [...]

On Christmas Eve I preached a brief message on Matthew 13:44-46. I titled it, “Treasuring Jesus as Your Greatest Treasure”. We all desire fulfillment, satisfaction, acceptance, approval, peace and joy that endures and lasts longer than the average Mariner’s winning streak. If this is our goal, that which brings these things is of [...]
