In this sermon, delivered on graduate recognition Sunday, we explore the hatred of the world for Christians versus faithfulness to the Word among Christians. The Bereans have long been an example to the church of what biblical fidelity looks like, and we go further by examining how we are to be specifically faithful when confronted by so many of the lies of our current culture.

Paul's encounter with the philosophers of Athens and his subsequent sermon on Mars Hill is the centerpiece of the book of Acts. Here we see God going toe-to-toe with the wise debaters of the age as He speaks through Paul to reveal His person, His will for mankind, and the truth of how He will ultimately bring human history to a close. In this first part of a two-part sermon, Pastor Shawn exami...

This sermon covers the second half of Paul's sermon to the Athenians on Mars Hill. Given that there is one true God who made and rules over all creation, and that mankind is desperately 'groping' for the divine, what is the proper response? We must abandon our man-made gods, repent of our self-loving sin, and prepare for the risen judge.

The Apostle Paul had spent about a year and a half in the city of Corinth, but the time had come for him to be back on the move, especially to report back to the church in Jerusalem and the church in Antioch who had commissioned him. In these two paragraphs this morning we follow Paul and we are introduced to Apollos, and through these two men we see exhibited a faithfulness to the church and a fa...

As the Apostle Paul returns to Ephesus on the first leg of his third missionary journey, he encounters 12 disciples of John the Baptist. Through His interaction with them, we learn the real meaning and significance of Christian baptism. As Paul continues his ministry of the gospel in Ephesus, we also learn the importance of godly endurance.

Here is Acts 19, a real spiritual awakening was happening in Ephesus, and make no mistake – When almighty God is moving, Satan and his minions are set back on their heels. What we will see during this time of spiritual awakening is how Christ and His gospel prevailed mightily over the forces of spiritual darkness that were previously concentrated in this city, and likewise, how the Holy Spirit led...

Spiritual change among the inhabitants of Ephesus city had resulted in significant social change. In the previous text the new believers brought the equivalent of 12.5 million dollars in pagan books and items and burned them as an act of repentance. As you might guess, Satan was not happy, and the people who belonged to Him were incensed. As so, like many times before, they formed a mob. But their...

When the Apostle Paul's ship comes into port for several days at Miletus, he takes the opportunity to send for the elders of the church at Ephesus so he can have one last visit with these beloved leaders. As he shares his heart with them, we behold his own example in ministry as well as the charges he gives to them. Both of these points have strong application for the church and for the two me...

Being made in God's image, we are made for relationship. We are made to relate vertically with God, but we are also made to relate horizontally to our fellow man – to flourish in the love of a spouse, in the love of family, and the love of friends. Indeed, living life with one another is meant to enrich us in innumerable ways. In this text, we see how Paul's life was beautifully enriched b...

Pastor Robert looks at the example of Jephthah to see the Bible's teaching that our circumstances both come from the Lord and are designed to make us more like Jesus.

Pastor Robert examines Paul's exhortation to be in prayer for all, especially those who are in authority over us. 

As we continue our study through the book of Acts, we come to the first healing of the church era. Through this display of Christ's power, the door is opened once again to the gospel of Jesus Christ being proclaimed in the temple courts. Through this event and Peter's subsequent sermon, we leanr not only what Christ imparts to those who trust in Him, we learn what characterizes true, bibli...

Is church a place where you go, or a community of God's people in which you have invested yourself? Is worship a weekly event that you merely attend, or is it a gathering of family where you delight to express your adoration of the Lord of glory? These questions must be asked because there is still a consumerist mindset plaguing modern Christianity. In this passage, we look at the character of...

As we pick up with the second half of Peter's sermon, he offers his Jewish brethren both warning and hope. Though they acted in sinful ignorance in killing the Messiah, they were not beyond God's grace. As the prophets foretold, it was God's will that His servant Jesus suffer to accomplish the salvation of His people. Now, if they would believe, they could receive forgiveness, they cou...

In this message, we explore the conversion of thousands of Jews who had just listened to Peter's Pentecost sermon. We see here deep conviction of sin, the earnest desire for biblical instruction, and the compassionate exhortations of an apostolic shepherd. In these first Christians, we see what we want to aspire to in Christ as we look to the days and weeks ahead.

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan helps us see that Christ had a calling to be our High Priest and sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins.

Last week we began our exposition of this text from the standpoint of how we all long for the perfect king, and that Jesus Christ is the Messiah King that God has promised to His people. God's gift of this Savior King to us is what we celebrate every Christmas season. So in this second sermon, we explore the identity of His person and the nature of His reign.
