Foothill Church Sermons

Man of God (Part 2) A man of God doesn’t just flee sin out of fear or avoidance; he runs toward something better by actively pursuing the life God calls him to live. According to Paul in 1 Timothy 6:11, that life is marked not by trading one vice for another, but by continually following after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness as a lifelong pursuit of Christliken...

Man of God (Part 1) Paul reminds Timothy that being a man of God doesn’t begin with fighting harder but with fleeing what will quietly destroy him, especially the pull of sinful desires that promise gain but lead to loss. A man of God lives in line with who he already is in Christ, intentionally turning from what weakens his faith and moving toward a life shaped by obedience and trust in God. Serm...

Genuine saving faith produces works in the life of the Christian as they joyfully obey and follow the teachings of Christ.

God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 3) Jesus came to be with us—broken, sinful people—and His humility shows what God’s love is really like. Because He emptied Himself and served, we’re called to adopt the same humble mindset toward others. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on December 14, 2025 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foot...

God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 2) Hebrews 2:14–17 shows that Christmas matters because God became truly human in Jesus—not in sin, but in our flesh—to accomplish what no one else could. By taking on our nature, Christ destroyed the devil’s power, silenced his accusations, and freed us from the fear and slavery of death. As the perfect High Priest, He represents us before God, bears our sin in pro...

God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 1) Jesus, the Lord over all creation and the exact image of the invisible God, has come near—the One through whom all things were made and in whom all things hold together. And He entered His own creation to reconcile all things to Himself, making peace through His blood and inviting His people into His redeeming work. Sermon Preached by Steve DuBransky on November...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace We tend to assume we’re innocent before God, confident that our good works or moral efforts will tip the scales in our favor, but Paul shows that the law only exposes our failure to meet God’s perfect standard. When every excuse is stripped away and every mouth is stopped, the only hope we have is not our own righteousness but the righteousness of Christ. Sermon...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul’s purpose in Romans 3:9–18 is to name our true condition before God—that every one of us is “under sin,” unrighteous, and unable to seek or understand Him on our own. Until we see this diagnosis clearly, we won’t recognize why our conduct is so broken or why we desperately need the cure God provides in the gospel. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on November 1...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul shows that people naturally make excuses to avoid taking responsibility for sin, shifting blame or rationalizing wrongdoing to protect their self-image and justify their actions. In Romans 3:3–8, he dismantles these arguments, revealing that no excuse can exempt anyone from guilt—and that our only hope for forgiveness and salvation is found through faith in...

For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 5) Throughout Scripture, God’s people have united in faith to accomplish what He’s called them to do, trusting His direction and provision. Hebrews 11 reminds us to follow their example by running the race of faith with endurance, fixing our eyes on Jesus who is both our model and our strength. Scripture: Hebrews 11:32-12:2 Sermon Preached by Chris Le...

For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 4) Faith produces courage—the strength to trust God and obey Him even when it’s costly, countercultural, or dangerous. True faith gives us confidence to stand firm, endure hardship, and act boldly because we believe God’s promises are greater than what we see. Scripture: Hebrews 11:23-31 Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on October 26, 2025 Foothill Chur...

For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 3) Many people start strong but don’t finish well—but by God’s grace, what matters most is how we end, trusting Him even when obedience feels costly or unclear. Hebrews 11 shows that lasting faith leaves a legacy, as those who endure in belief and obedience pass down a story of God’s faithfulness to future generations. Scripture: Hebrews 11:17-22 Serm...

For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 2) Faith believes God’s promises and reveals itself through ongoing obedience—the “obedience of faith.” But at its core, faith’s desire is for something better; it longs for what God has promised more than the comforts of this world, trusting and obeying Him as it seeks a better country and a lasting home with Him. Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16 Sermon Pr...

The Book of Psalms Psalm 23 Psalm 23 invites us to slow down and remember that in every circumstance, the Lord gently leads and restores His people. These verses give us rest for weary souls and assurance that His presence is enough. Sermon Preached by Steve DuBransky on September 28, 2025 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.  https://f...

The Book of Psalms Psalm 10 Psalm 10 reminds us that evil’s arrogance and God’s seeming silence are not signs of His absence but opportunities for His justice to be revealed. Though the wicked boast that God has forgotten, hidden, or will never see, the psalmist declares that the Lord does see, He will act, and He reigns forever. Our response is to cry Maranatha — to call on the Lord for justice,...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul shows that while the Jews had the great advantage of being entrusted with the words of God, they failed to use it, like having the key to the code but never turning it. The real privilege is not just possession but listening to and living by God’s Word, the greatest gift and responsibility given to His people. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on September 14,...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul shows us in Romans 2:25–29 that when we place our confidence in rituals or religious traditions, we miss the heart of what God wants. True faith comes from the Spirit transforming us inwardly, leading us to repent and trust in Christ rather than relying on outward signs of religion. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on September 7, 2025 Foothill Church exists t...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul warns that religious knowledge and practice mean nothing if our lives don’t align with what we claim to believe, since hypocrisy ultimately dishonors God. In Romans 2:17–24, he shows that Jews and Gentiles alike—no matter how religious—still need the gospel of Christ, because only His righteousness can save. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on August 31, 2025...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul reminds us in Romans 2:11–16 that God’s judgment is perfectly impartial and fair—unlike human courts, it cannot be swayed by wealth, influence, or appearances, but is based on truth, knowledge, and obedience. Whether through the law written in Scripture or the law written on our hearts, all people are accountable before God, and only through faith in Christ...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace In Romans 2:6–10, Paul teaches that salvation is by grace through faith, yet final judgment will be based on works—not to earn salvation, but to prove it. The righteous seek God’s promised glory, honor, and eternal life through patient goodness, while the wicked live for themselves, reject the truth, and face God’s wrath. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on August...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul warns that it’s far easier to see and condemn the sins of others than to recognize our own, and that doing so reveals a dangerous hypocrisy that presumes on God’s kindness instead of being led by it to repentance. God’s patience is not apathy toward sin but an opportunity to turn to Him before His righteous judgment is revealed. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewi...

The Book of Psalms Psalm 73 Psalm 73 takes us on a journey from envy to awe, as Asaph wrestles with the prosperity of the wicked and the apparent unfairness of life, only to have his perspective transformed in the presence of God. His story powerfully illustrates the truth that envy looks outward and leaves us empty, but worship looks upward and makes us whole—reminding us that the nearness of God...

The story of David and Goliath is not about us overcoming our obstacles but about how Jesus has killed the real Goliath—sin and death. He is the true and better David. We are the Israelites who were saved by God’s King. We are called in to His victory and salvation for the glory of His Name. Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on July 27, 2025 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disci...

The story of the flood in Genesis 6–9 shows God's grief over the deep corruption of humanity, His judgment through the flood, and His mercy in preserving Noah and offering a new beginning. Ultimately, it points forward to Jesus, the better Noah, who takes God's judgment upon Himself at the cross and gives us hope for a future re-creation free from sin and death. Sermon Preached by Steve DuBransky...
