Power on SermonAudio

Sunday night we expose the demons. Demons are living in plain sight all around us. We will use 1 Corinthians 10.18-22 as our text but will also deal with those passages I sent to you earlier in the week. Belgic Confession Article 12 sets the stage for our exploration of God's Word into the reality of the power of demons. Please come prayerfully prepared to deal with the truth of God on this matter...

The sermon explores the paradox of divine wisdom presented in 1 Corinthians, emphasizing that God chooses the foolish and weak things of the world to confound the wise and mighty. It highlights that the message of the cross, though foolishness to the perishing, is the power of God to those who are saved. The text encourages believers to rely on the power of God rather than human wisdom, citing exa...

In "Jonah: Mad That It Worked," Charles Sebold continues the Sunday evening series through the Minor Prophets with the book of Jonah. Hosea, Joel, Amos, and Obadiah set the stage; Jonah asks what happens when God shows mercy to His people's own destroyer, and His prophet cannot bear it. Keeping a running scorecard, the lesson shows that everything in the book obeys God: the wind, the sea, the paga...

Jesus has answered questions from the chief priests and the Pharisees - Two out of the three groups who controlled all that happen in the temple and on the temple compound. The third group is the Sadducees. They are now up with their best attempt to defame Jesus. They take an Old Testament law about marriage and ask how this will work in Heaven. Join us as we look at the wisdom of Jesus in the ans...

This sermon explores the theological reality of believers being adopted into God's family through faith in Christ Jesus, as outlined in Galatians 3. The message emphasizes that this status is not based on ethnic background, social standing, or gender, but solely on the saving work of Jesus and the believer's trust in Him. It distinguishes between God as the Creator of all and the Heavenly Father o...

Tonight, we are going to look at a passage we usually just read over. It starts with our text from last week and a look back at the law on Mt. Sinai. It continues that we stand before Mt Zion and the heavenly Jerusalem. We read these verses and don't really let them sink into our hearts, yet it is a moving tribute to Christ and the power of the cross. Join us as we look at standing before the heav...

Key themes include the necessity of working without a precedent, maintainin...

The Power & Fullness of Christ

WHEN GOD PUT A KING IN THE FAMILY TREE! 2 Samuel 7:12–16; Luke 1:32–33 KJV The road to Bethlehem now leads us to David, the shepherd boy whom God chose to become Israel's king. From the fields of Bethlehem to the throne of Jerusalem, God prepared David for a remarkable purpose. Then He established a covenant promising David a royal descendant and an everlasting kingdom. Centuries later, the angel...

This sermon examines the narrative of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4 to expose the theological danger of human pride, which claims credit for gifts that belong solely to God. The central argument posits that pride is a form of rebellion that attempts to usurp God's glory, whereas true humility acknowledges that all power, intelligence, and success are divinely bestowed. The text contrasts the forced d...

It highlights the church's response to the execution of James and the arrest of Peter, emphasizing that their primary recourse was earnest, corporate prayer rather than human intervention. The text illustrates God's sovereign power a...

This sermon explores the distinction between being brought low by circumstances and willingly submitting to God's sovereign hand, urging believers to bow rather than merely be bent by life's trials. Drawing from 1 Peter 5:6, the message emphasises recognising God's active power in human affairs, which may chasten, restrain, or deliver, while maintaining that submission is not fatalism but a trustf...

This sermon examines Genesis 10 and 11 to trace the post-flood repopulation of the earth and the rapid return of human rebellion, exemplified by the Tower of Babel. Pastor Ryan highlights how humanity's refusal to disperse and their pursuit of self-glorification through Nimrod and the construction of a ziggurat reflect a persistent sinful nature that ignores God's commands. God's judgment in confu...

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard - Romans 3:21-31

Have you considered the many spiritual struggles of believers? So many face rejection and fear of failure not only in their ministry but even in their daily lives. Do you envision Paul as an encourager, when it comes to Timothy and others? Are we aware of the spirit of power, love, and self-control God grants us, all to help us overcome our fears? Do you really know what the 'Zoe life means? For a...

What does it mean for Christ to be King? What does it mean for Christ to be Lord? As we come to Philippians 2:9-11, we see the truth of the exaltation of Christ. He has been given the name above every name and is seated at the right hand of the Father in the position of all power and authority. May we as His people be encouraged to live for the glory of this worthy King!

Pastor Brian's sermon examines two instances in Matthew 22 where religious leaders attempt to entangle Jesus with tricky questions, highlighting the futility of human wisdom against divine omniscience. The first section addresses the Pharisees and Herodians' trap regarding taxes, illustrating that while Christians owe financial support and submission to government, they ultimately belong to God, w...
