Pastoral Intern Robert Gardner examines Paul's exhortation to the Philippians to watch out for those who would burden them with the law and rather to trust in the righteousness of Christ. Philippians 3:1-11

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Pastor Jon English Lee explains the stakes of the resurrection, the centrality of the resurrection, the fact of the resurrection, and the fruit of the resurrection.

When Jesus came to earth to complete His work of redemption, He came in complete humility in his birth, was hated by rulers from his infancy, and was raised in complete obscurity in the town of Nazareth. When He entered Jerusalem for the last time before His crucifixion, He came in humble poverty, without royal robes, riding on the foal of a donkey. In this sermon, we see how Jesus was worshiped o...

In this sermon from 1 Peter 1:6, Pastor Jordan Nelson shows us that various trials will come upon the believer, but in those trials there is always reason to rejoice.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 14:26-40, Pastor Jon English Lee explains that worship should be orderly and decent, conforming to God’s design and pattern for leadership in the church.

With well-known sinners like Zacchaeus coming to faith in Christ, and Jesus getting closer to Jerusalem, Messianic fervor was building. People began spreading the idea that God's kingdom was coming right now. So Jesus told them this parable of the 10 servants and the minas to help them understand that the fullness of the kingdom was not coming now, but when it did, the faithful would be called...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 14:1-25, Pastor Jon English Lee explains that worship should be intelligible, motivated by love, and aimed at the edification of the congregation.

This week, we come to the story of another sinner that Jesus met on the road through Jericho. Zacchaeus was rich and had his sight, but he was in just as deep a state of need as the blind beggar. The Holy Spirit led Luke to place these two passages, and therefore these two characters, side-by-side. Through the first man, we see the focus on faith. Through the second man, we see a focus on repentan...

In this sermon from Philippians 3:20-21, Pastor Jon English explains the hope that believers have in the future resurrection, transformed bodies, and our heavenly citizenship. This short sermon was preached after the death of one of Morningview Baptist Church's former pastors, Greg Graham.

Christ is a compassionate Savior, and His call to all of humanity is to come to Him and trust in Him for forgiveness and grace and healing and life. How sad it is that the prevailing wisdom of the age teaches either that there is no God, or that if there is One, He is not to be bothered. In this passage of Scripture, we see a desperate, blind beggar who would not be silenced by the crowd because h...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 13:8-13, Pastor Jon English Lee explains how love is superior to all other spiritual gifts and graces.

The rich young ruler's rejection of the call to follow Christ raised a question in Peter's heart: “What about us, Lord? We have left everything to follow You; What about us?” In Jesus's answer, we have the promise of reward for all who believe in Him, and we have the description of His torturous death and resurrection by which He would purchase this reward. Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew...

In this sermon from Isaiah 50:7, Pastor Jon English Lee explains how Christ’s resolve and determination were demonstrations of His for his Father and his bride. Good Friday Service, 2023

Paul exhorts the Corinthians to join him as ministers of reconciliation. As ministers of reconciliation, we have to be reconciled to God through Christ. We also are commissioned to speak, to forgive, and to be promoters of peace. Preacher: Pastor Jordan Nelson Scripture Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 13:7, Pastor Jon English Lee explains how love believes the best, hopes for the best, and endures all things.

Pastoral Intern Robert Gardner examines Paul's exhortation in Philippians 2:19-30 to give honor to those who faithfully and lovingly serve the body.

The parable of the rich young ruler is most often preached as a story about the danger of loving money or making wealth an idol in one's life, and those truths are certainly center stage here. But what is actually happening here is that Jesus is using the issue of idolizing wealth to teach us about true goodness, to teach us about our need for an imputed goodness – more specifically, an impute...

Pastoral Intern Robert Gardner looks into the appeal Paul makes to the Philippians to walk in obedience because of the change in nature that Christ has worked in them through his atoning sacrifice. Scripture Text: Philippians 2:15-18

Most pastors, when preaching this text about parents bringing their infants to Jesus, go right to the subject of how to lead your children to Christ. Our hearts and minds are rightly drawn to consider something so very important, but this text really isn't about showing our children the right way to Christ's Kingdom. It's more about how our children show us the right way to Christ'...

Pastoral Intern Robert Gardner examines Paul's instruction to the Philippian church and the promise for those who are in Christ to be children of God without blemish.

As we continue through chapter 18 of the Gospel of Luke, we are exploring another parable given by Jesus – the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector who went up to the temple to pray. I have entitled this sermon “The TRUE Sinner's Prayer” because what we are taught here is that a true prayer for salvation is God-centered and is characterized by humility, brokenness over sin, and absolute d...

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan Nelson gives four truths from 2 Corinthians 4 that helped Paul not to lose heart amidst ongoing trials and temptations.

In Luke 17, Jesus taught His disciples about His second coming, about how all of history is moving toward a time of final judgement. We, as the people of God in the midst of this sinful generation, are to trust His timing as He is moving us all toward that great and terrible day. How is our confidence and trust in Him born out during those times of difficulty? What do we do to seek Him and depend...

With the recent revival that took place at Asbury (February 2023), many have raised questions about the marks of true revival and spiritual awakening.
