Sermon Archives

This week, we kick off a new sermon series in the book of Acts entitled, “The Church & the Gentiles.” In Acts 8-12, the Gospel begins to spread beyond the walls of Jerusalem to new cities, communities and ethnic groups. Today’s text provides a cautionary tale in the midst of the Gospel explosion.

In this message, as we conclude our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Leaders,” we see the contrast between the anger and hatred of Saul (soon to become Paul) and the Godly service of the deacon Philip in the commonly despised region of Samaria.

In this message, as we move into week five of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Leaders,” we conclude our look at Stephen’s powerful sermon while on trial before the Sanhedrin with his judgment on the nation and eventual death.

In this message, we return to our Acts sermon series entitled, “The Church’s Leaders” and our look at the sermon Stephen preached while he was on trial before the Sanhedrin in Acts 7. Using Israel’s history, he patiently demonstrates the nation’s need for the Savior they had rejected.

In this message, as we move into week three of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Leaders,” we have our third “Sermon Spotlight.” When Stephen is allowed to speak to the Sanhedrin, his message is laced with Biblical history and incredible typology pointing to Jesus Christ.

In this message, as we move into week two of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Leaders,” we see the enemy’s attack on Stephen through the Sanhedrin and their falsified charges – and we see his amazing response.

In this message, we kick off a new sermon series in the book of Acts entitled, “The Church’s Leaders.” In Acts 6-8, the focus turns more specifically to the early strategy and leadership of the Apostles and others, including closer looks at individuals such as Stephen and Philip.

Today, we conclude our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Growth,” by considering the sobering truth that the enemy refuses to stop attacking and hindering Christ’s church. Are we living lives worthy of the sacrifices the early church paid to pass the Gospel on to the generations to come?

Today, as we move into week six of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Growth,” we are reminded of the incredible grace of God as He reassures the suffering early church with a series of confirming miracles and even angelic visitations.

Today, as we move into week five of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Growth,” we are forced to consider the reality that the enemy will seek a way to divide the church from within. And it becomes equally as obvious that God has little tolerance for disunity and sin.

Today, as we move into week four of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Growth,” we get a sobering lesson in how the early church moved forward in the face of persecution by emphasizing fellowship, family and the filling of the Spirit.

Today, as we move into week three of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Growth,” we consider the first difficult moment of persecution of the early church and its impact – and, as we do so, we have to consider how we would react in a similar circumstance.

Today, as we move into week two of our sermon series in Acts, “The Church’s Growth,” we have our second “Sermon Spotlight.” We again look at a message the Apostle Peter preached on the temple grounds.
