August Gate Church Sermons

Jesus calls us to believe the reality of his resurrection and the promise of ours.

We will see Jesus and when we do, our only hope of drawing near to Him in confidence instead of hiding in shame is if we are abiding in Him by His grace.

Because of the great hope we have in Jesus, we must say "no" to our sin and "yes" to godly living as we eagerly wait for his return.

In the story of Mary and Joseph we see four truths about hope, four anchors of our hope, and how we carry hope to the world.

Hope is the joyful expectation and confident waiting for the promises of God about the person of God and the plan of God for people and the world.

This week, Peter shows us God's call for us in employment, even when it's difficult.

In this week's text, Peter lines out the Christian's posture, politics, purpose, perspective and priorities when it comes to government.

Because Christians are in a war for their souls and Jesus is coming again, we must abstain from sin and keep our conduct honorable.

Because of the Gospel, we are called to hope in Jesus and live in holiness.

In the midst of trials, our call is to rejoice in the promised eternal inheritance we have in Jesus Christ.

The prophets sought and the angels long to know the glorious details of this Gospel that has been given to us.

Jesus, God the Son, is our hope because God the Father is faithful.

This week, we see that we have a hope worth dying for.

As exiles in this world, our lives are marked by pain. But because God always has a purpose in our pain, we can wait in hope that we will see Jesus.

Peter writes to those dearly loved and chosen of God, scattered because of the Gospel, so that grace and peace would be multiplied in their (and our) lives.

As we close out our series with Psalm 150, we see that in every season of life, we are called to praise God for who He is, what He's done, and because our lives are His gift to us.

This week, we learn the benefits of blessing God.

Despite the fact that we have nothing to offer Him in return, the Father offers us all of the benefits of righteousness through the person and work of the Son.

This week, we explored Psalm 121 and the call to convert to the Keeper.

This week, we see that even when it seems like the wicked prosper, God is in control, so draw near to Him.

Because God is both holy and loving, all who would draw near to Him must do so in the full surrender of repentance. Psalm 130 shows us what that looks like in action.

This week, we saw in Psalms 111 & 112 that when praise and delight for God flow out of our corporate worship and into our personal lives and private thoughts, there is great reward.

This week, we learn that we worship a God who has done the great work of sustaining, redeeming, and keeping covenant with us, and He calls us to delight in His work by delighting in His Word.

This week, David walks us through his famous "song of sin" and in doing so, we learned 7 basic but important truths about sin.

The people of God have always had a tendency to worship and put their trust in things other than God. Psalm 29 is a reminder of the power and character of God and while He alone should be worshipped and trust.
