Sermons by Date and Title

The End of the Line

In the conclusion of our sermon series in Acts, “The First Missionary Journey,” we see another miraculous escape by Paul from execution, and we come to the end of this mostly successful journey to spread the Gospel.

Jew & Gentile Alike

In week five of our sermon series in Acts, “The First Missionary Journey,” we watch the missionaries barely escape execution one minute only to be exalted as gods the next. If anything, we’re reminded that preaching the Gospel among the lost is rarely easy or predictable.

Sermon Spotlight: Part One “Paul’s First Sermon”

In week two of our sermon series in Acts, “The First Missionary Journey,” we come to our sixth Sermon Spotlight in the book. This is Paul’s first recorded sermon, preached to his Jewish brethren in the synagogue at Antioch of Pisidia.

Obeying Christ’s Commands

In this message, we kick off a new sermon series in the book of Acts entitled, “The First Missionary Journey.” In Acts 13-14, we see the heart for missions of the Antioch church, and we follow the footsteps of the first missionaries, Barnabas and Saul/Paul.

The Church’s Persecution

This week, as we conclude our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we are reminded that whenever lives are being changed and churches are growing, opposition will arise. And yet God’s kingdom always wins in the end.

Paul & Barnabas

This week, as we continue our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we are first introduced to perhaps the model church in the book of Acts: the church at Antioch.

Peter & the Church – #5

This week, as we move into week nine of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we consider our fifth “Sermon Spotlight.” It should sound familiar – Peter essentially has to reproach his message from Acts 10 to the hard-hearted church in Jerusalem.

Peter and the Gentiles – Part 4

This week, as we move into week eight of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we finally have another “Sermon Spotlight.” This time, we hear Peter embrace the plan of God for the salvation of every race, tribe, and tongue.

Sunday Sermon – 12/3/17

This week, as we move into week seven of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we see the difficulty Peter has in dropping his inherent cultural and ethnic biases and preferences. Is it not likely that we still struggle with the same issues, and this can prevent the spread of the Gospel?

Stop

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been studying the mandate of the early church to take the Gospel to the nations. And, today, Jay Ham, our Pastor of Missions, Outreach, and Recreation, will remind us that we still have the same mandate!

The Power of Peter

This week, as we move into week six of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we are reminded that the Gospel has still not left the immediate region around Jerusalem – but it is about to do so. And, this time, the Apostle Peter is going to be in the middle of things.

The Education of Saul

This week, as we move into week five of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we are reminded that Saul’s journey to becoming the Apostle Paul was both a long one but also a difficult one. There is a price to be paid to be used by God.

The Old Servant

This week, as we move into week four of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we must consider the power of living a simple, Godly life, filled with kindness, obedience, and service. God does not just use men like Paul in His kingdom.

An Open Heart

This week, as we move into week two of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church & the Gentiles,” we see the power of divine appointments as we seek to spread the Gospel. Are we trusting God to lead us to open hearts at just the right time?

Role Reversal

Role Reversal

In this message, we see the familiar pattern reversed – this time, it is Christ asking the hard questions, all in an attempt to help the angry religious leaders see Him for who He truly is: the Messiah, the Christ, the Savior.

Resurrection Realities

Resurrection Realities

In this message, we see an example of the ridiculous questions people like to ask to try to justify their rejection of the truth of God and the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Rebellion in the Vineyard

Rebellion in the Vineyard

In this message, the tension between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders reaches new heights – as He shares a prophetic parable about a vineyard and the workers in the vineyard rejecting the Son sent by the vineyard’s owner to check on their progress.
