Church can be complicated and complex. Between the programs and the problems it is easy to forget about the the essentials. We sometimes lose sight of the things that make church good. In this series, several pastors share biblical perspectives on doing the important stuff.
Sermon On The Mount (Chapter 7)
Jesus’ longest recorded sermon, and most influential, is traditionally called The Sermon the Mount. The sermon is full of famous proclamations, phrases that are often memorized or hung on walls. But why are these words important 2,000 years later? This series of sermons is about The Sermon on the Mount and why it still matters.
Greetings
The results of church done wrong are often the exact opposite of what God intended: Division instead of unity, hurt instead of healing, isolation instead of connection, and people being pushed further from God instead of being brought nearer. It is important that we do church right. This is a series of sermons on doing church God’s way in Romans 14-16.
Living Sacrifice
God gives a lot to those who place their faith in Jesus. Christians receive righteousness, justification, holiness, reconciliation, adoption, sanctification, blessing, and glory. Do these big Christian words have practical implications for how people live? Yes. This is a series of sermons about living the Christian life in Romans 12-13.
Isolated
Social distancing is hard, but not unprecedented. Many of the Bible’s most influential people spent time detached from others. This series of sermons is about how they responded and all that God accomplished; this series of sermons is about thriving while isolated.
For His Glory
“Everything we experience right now is very small compared to God and His glory that He gives to us”
Descendants
The history of Israel is in many ways a history of God’s work, and mercy, amongst people. In studying the Israelite’s relationship to God, we can learn much about what it means to be the people of God. This is a series of sermons about Israel, mercy, and us in Romans 9-11.
Conquerors
Sometimes life makes us feel like losers. It can seem like we will never overcome our struggles, our sorrows, or our sins. Romans 6-8 tells a different story. It tells us that through God’s victorious love we can be conquerors, and more. This is a series of sermons explaining what it means to be “more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
The Gift
At Christmas you are surrounded by gifts. These gifts have the power to make you happy for a short time. The Bible tells of a gift that overflows to many people and has the power to change your life forever. These Christmas sermons are about why the gift is so good and how you can have it.
