Sermons by Date and Title

The Birth of John

In this message, we continue our series in Luke, “A Savior is Born,” and we consider the significance of the account of John’s birth and the song of praise his father, Zechariah, sings in thanks to the goodness of God, but also in prophecy regarding the significance of John’s future ministry.

The Magnificat: The Song of Mary

In this message, we resume our series in Luke, “A Savior is Born,” with a look at Luke 1:39-56 and the “Magnificat,” the Latin title of the song of rejoicing Mary sings in the wake of her meeting with her relative and the mother of John, Elizabeth.

The Next Series – Wes Akers

In this message, Wes Akers, our Assistant Minister of Young Adults and Administration, concludes our “Next” sermon series with a message entitled, “What’s Next?”

Next Series – Bread Hatfield

In this message, Bread Hatfield, our Pastor of Missions, Outreach and Recreation, continues our “Next” sermon series with a message entitled, “Who’s Next?”

Next Series – Jay Ham

In this message, our Pastor of Global Mobilization, Jay Ham, introduces “Next,” a three-week sermon series on the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), with a message entitled, “Where Next?”

The Prophecy of the Son of the Most High

In this message, as we continue our series, “A Savior is Born,” we encounter the mother of the Messiah and consider her reaction to both the incredible news of her pregnancy but also to the identity of the child to be born.

A Certain Faith

In this message, we begin a new journey through the Gospel of Luke. We start with Luke’s account of the advent of Christ. First and foremost, Luke reminds us of the firm foundation upon which this Biblical account rests.

Moral Outrage in an Immoral Nation

In this message, as we continue our series, “When a Nation Falls,” in Judges 20:1-48, we cover a lot of text, all of it chronicling the broken moral response or outrage of an immoral nation – a reminder, by the way, that two wrongs really don’t make a right.

Outrage in Benjamin

In this message, as we continue our series, “When a Nation Falls,” in Judges 19:1-30, we get a brutal look at the moral failure of one of Israel’s so-called spiritual leaders – reminding us that a nation tends to be given the kind of spiritual leadership it deserves.

The Period of Total Tribal Disorder

In this message, as we continue our series, “When a Nation Falls,” in Judges 17:1-13, we zero in on the worst period of moral failure in Israel’s history – all because they have completely abandoned the moral foundation of their covenant with Jehovah God.

Graduation Sunday 2021

In this message, as we celebrate “Graduation Sunday,” have the privilege of hearing God’s Word shared by Justin Myrick, our Pastor of Collegiate and International Students.

Twelve Signs of Spiritual Failure

In this message, as we continue our series, “When a Nation Falls,” we consider sobering lessons from the moral failure of Israel’s last judge, Samson. His brutal story – and ugly demise – is all too familiar, but have we ever considered if we are repeating his mistakes?

When a Nation Falls

In this message, we begin a new seven-week sermon series from the book of Judges entitled, “When a Nation Falls.” It’s a timely series for a nation like ours which is rapidly embracing immorality – and we start, fittingly, with a message called, “The Beginning of the End.”

Final Instructions

In this message, we consider God’s final instructions before His glory takes up residence in the Tabernacle in Exodus 40:1-16. Again, there’s an obvious emphasis on God’s desire for our obedience.

The Priests’ Wickedness

The Priests’ Wickedness

In this message, as we continue our sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” we get a lesson in parenting as we consider the wickedness of Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phineas, and the servanthood of little Samuel. We’re also reminded that merely growing up “around church” is no guarantee of spiritual success.

Hannah’s Song

Hannah’s Song

In this message, we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” and we study what is often called, “Hannah’s Song.” It’s incredibly personal and rich theologically, of course, but it is also pivotal in the book of I Samuel and the plan of God for all nations.

Hannah’s Son

Hannah’s Son

In this message, we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” and we move into the birth narrative of Samuel. Throughout Scripture, the birth of a child often marks a pivotal point in a people’s history – certainly reminding us, if just on a universal level, that children are a blessing. But, for Israel, Samuel’s birth was much, much more.
