Judges 2:6-15; February 1, 2026; Robert Gardner

One of the greatest struggles that plagued the early church was the teaching of the Judaizers. They believed that for a person to be saved, they had to come under and be obedient to all the tenants of the Mosaic Law. In this text, we see the early church grappling with this question and coming to the determination that salvation is not by works of the law, but by grace alone through faith alone in...

The Merciful Judge; Judges 2:16-3:6; February 8, 2026; Robert Gardner

Once the Jerusalem council had decided that Gentiles did not have to come under the Mosaic Law in order to be saved, they now had to communicate their decision to the churches. They selected Judas Barsabbas and Silas to accompany Paul and Barnbas back to Antioch and deliver a letter to the congregation there. As the Gentiles received this letter, the rejoiced at the goodness of God and hungered al...

No other gods; Judges 2:16-3:6; February 15; Robert Gardner

The Prototypical Judge; Judges 3:7-11; February 22, 2026; Robert Gardner

On the day of the final judgement, Christ will sit on His glorious throne and He will separate believers from unbelievers just like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. How will we be judged? Christ says it is on the basis of whether or not we have shown compassion to His people. It is not that we earn our salvation by being compassionate, but rather, our compassion is evidence that we h...

Ehud & Eglon; Judges 3:12-30; March 1, 2026; Robert Gardner

What happens when godly people can't agree? In this text, Paul and Barnabas have a falling out that is so severe that they decide to part ways. What we learn from them is that even the best Christians are still not perfect on this side of eternity, and yet God, in His wisdom and loving providence, works redemptively to further His purpose and accomplish the unity of His people.

As Paul and Silas returned to Lystra to check on the church and inform them of the Jerusalem council's decision, Paul was led to recruit Timothy to join them on their missionary journey. In this sermon, we explore the importance of passing on the faith to the next generation of believers, specifically giving 2 charges. The first is to young people to not waste their youth in pursuance to the t...

Deborah and Barak; Judges 3:31-4:10; March 8, 2026; Robert Gardner

With Timothy now part of their group, Paul and Silas continued with their plan to visit and strengthen the churches in Asia minor. But God had a bigger vision for what He wanted them to do, and a divine appointment for them to keep all the way over in Europe, so by closing doors and by giving Paul a direct vision, the Holy Spirit directed them right where He wanted them to go. In this sermon, we e...

God Crushes the Wicked; Judges 4:1-24; March 15, 2026; Robert Gardner

Only Two Sides; Judges 5; March 29, 2026; Robert Gardner

What Are True Worshippers?; John 4:23-26; March 29, 2026; Jordan Nelson

In these 3 verses, Paul continues his contrast what marks those who walk according to the Spirit with those who walk according to the flesh. If you know Jesus Christ as your Savior from sin and your One and only hope, what Paul says here is true of you: 1. You Have the Spirit of God and He Has You; 2. You Belong to Jesus Christ Himself; 3. You Live because of Christ's Righteousness; and the wo...

Good Friday Sermon; April 3, 2026; Robert Gardner

What we have before us in this text is the first detailed case of demon possession and exorcism in the book of Acts. This passage is here to remind us that we are part of a spiritual war that has raged throughout the ages. Jesus Christ has struck the death-blow and proved that He is the reigning, conquering King. Though Satan is vanquished, he continues to operate with a form of guerrilla warfare,...

The Long-Suffering God; Judges 6:1-10; April 12, 2026; Robert Gardner

Christ with Us; John 6:16-21; April 19, 2026; Jordan Nelson

The call of Gideon; Judges 6:11-24; April 26, 2026; Robert Gardner

In this sermon, we explore the miraculous conversion of the Philippian jailer. We are brought back to the truth that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, and that baptism is reserved for those who believe in Jesus Christ for salvation. We also see how the Apostle Paul wisely responded in the aftermath of sever persecution to protect the message of the gospel and the wel...
