Bedrock Community Church Sunday Sermons

This sermon explores the account of Achan, who secretly took forbidden items during the conquest of Jericho, leading to devastating consequences for the entire nation of Israel. Through this story, we learn that sin always begins with a compromised heart, hidden sin produces wider consequences than we expect, and the path back to God's favor requires confession and holiness. The message challenges...

This message explores the story of young Samuel in the temple, learning to hear God's voice in a time when "the word of the Lord was rare." Pastor Philip challenged us to not just possess the "flashlight" of the gospel but to actually turn it on and use it. Through Samuel's example, we learn three essential truths: (1) Samuel's readiness - he was available to God; (2) Samuel's reception - he accep...

Pastor Dan shared the story of Ehud, a left-handed judge God raised up to deliver Israel from 18 years of oppression under King Eglon of Moab. The message emphasizes how seriously God takes sin, while also highlighting His faithfulness to deliver His people when they cry out to Him. Just as Israel fell into a cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance, we often find ourselves feeding th...

This sermon explores the story of Rahab from Joshua 2, using the metaphor of dead vines transformed into something beautiful (a Christmas tree) to illustrate how God redeems broken lives. Rahab, a prostitute in Jericho, recognized God's power, rejected her former life, and received God's grace—ultimately becoming part of Jesus' genealogy. Her story reminds us that God's grace is greater than our p...

This sermon explores the tragic story of Cain and Abel, revealing how unchecked sin, jealousy, and pride can destroy our lives and relationships. Through Cain's failure to bring an acceptable offering and his subsequent murder of Abel, we learn that God desires our wholehearted worship, not religious performance. The message emphasizes that sin doesn't kick down the front door—it finds small crack...

This sermon explored one of the most beloved yet debated passages in Scripture—the woman caught in adultery. Through the lens of discipline (handling Scripture faithfully), dialogue (Jesus' interaction with broken people), and doctrine (teaching that transforms lifestyle), we see how Jesus brings grace and truth together. The message culminated with Carson Hardy's powerful testimony of freedom fro...

In a world filled with spiritual options—like a buffet of choices—we can easily sample many things but still feel unsatisfied. At the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus stood up and offered something radically different: living water that satisfies forever. While the crowd had conflicted responses to Jesus, He extended a compelling invitation to all who thirst. Some rejected Him, but His offer remains: c...

In John 7, Jesus faces opposition from multiple sources—even his own brothers—as conflict intensifies around his ministry. Six months after feeding the 5,000, Jesus is in Galilee avoiding Judea where religious leaders seek to kill him. As the Feast of Booths approaches, his brothers urge him to go public in Jerusalem, but Jesus refuses, saying "my time has not yet come." When Jesus does attend the...

This week we continued in John 6, picking up after Jesus's hard teaching about being the "bread of life." When Jesus said His followers must "eat His flesh and drink His blood," many disciples walked away—not because they didn't understand, but because they did understand what it demanded. Jesus didn't chase after them. Instead, He turned to the Twelve and asked, "Do you want to go away as well?"...

In John 6, we encounter a crowd that seeks Jesus for the wrong reasons—they want Him to meet their physical needs rather than their spiritual hunger. Jesus redirects their attention from temporary provision to eternal satisfaction, declaring "I am the Bread of Life." This message challenges us to examine whether we seek Jesus on our own terms or surrender to Him on His terms. The crowd moves from...

In this sermon, we explored how the disciples found themselves caught in a fierce storm while rowing across the Sea of Galilee toward Capernaum. After rowing three or four miles and making little progress, Jesus appeared walking on the water, revealing His divine presence in their darkest moment. This passage teaches us that storms in our lives expose our human limitations, reveal Christ's presenc...

In John 6, Jesus feeds over 10,000 people with five small barley loaves and two fish from a young boy's lunch. This miracle reveals that when what we have is placed in Jesus's hands, it becomes more than enough to accomplish His purposes. Jesus tests Philip and the disciples not to shame them, but to reveal the limits of human thinking and our need to depend entirely on Him. The miracle wasn't abo...

Join us as we dive into the profound implications of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in this special Easter episode titled "Easter 2026." In a sermon filled with passion and insightful perspectives, we explore three pivotal phrases that hold the power to transform lives and reshape history: "It is finished," "He is not here, for He has risen," and "Go and tell." The sermon begins by setting the s...

This Palm Sunday message invites us to rediscover Jesus through childlike wonder rather than adult cynicism. As Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, children celebrated with pure joy while religious leaders grew indignant. The sermon challenges us to examine whether we've lost our childlike celebration, clarity, and confidence in Jesus—replacing it with complaints, over-analysis, and doubt. Just a...

In John 5, following the healing of the lame man at the Pool of Bethesda, Jesus makes bold claims about His deity that infuriated the religious leaders. He declares equality with God the Father in three key areas: His works, His power/authority (particularly over life and judgment), and the honor He deserves. Jesus doesn't just claim to be a good teacher or prophet—He claims to be God Himself. He...

Philip walked us through Jesus' healing of the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda, revealing how Jesus meets us in our brokenness with compassion, clarity, and divine authority. Just as the seasoned salt was right in front of him at the store, Jesus is right in front of us—yet we often fail to recognize Him. This passage challenges us to see Jesus not merely as a miracle worker, but as the Son...

This sermon explores the account of a royal official who desperately sought Jesus to heal his dying son. Through this story, we see how a crisis can become a doorway to deeper faith in Christ. The official's journey illustrates the difference between believing in what Jesus can do versus believing in who Jesus is. His initial desperation for a miracle transformed into saving faith that impacted hi...

In John 4, Jesus intentionally crosses cultural, religious, and social barriers to meet a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. This woman, isolated and broken from repeated failed relationships, comes alone at noon—avoiding the community that has rejected her. Jesus initiates a conversation that moves from physical water to spiritual truth, exposing her deepest needs while offering living water that s...

This sermon explores how John the Baptist navigated his own potential comparison trap when people started following Jesus instead of him. Rather than becoming jealous or competitive, John pointed people to Jesus, saying "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). John the Baptist gives us a blueprint for escaping comparison traps by recognizing that while we may be similar to others, we a...

Dan reveals how genuine spiritual transformation transcends religious ritual. Drawing from this intimate conversation, he illuminates the stark difference between physical and spiritual realities, showing that new birth isn't earned through good works but received as a gift through faith. Whether you're spiritually curious or a long-time believer, this powerful message unpacks John 3's timeless tr...

Jesus confronts the corruption that had infiltrated temple worship during Passover. What should have been a sacred time of remembrance and worship had become a marketplace driven by greed. Jesus' response—braiding a whip and clearing the temple—wasn't uncontrolled rage but intentional, purposeful zeal for His Father's house. This passage challenges us to examine our own worship: Have we allowed co...

At a wedding in Cana, Jesus revealed his first “sign” (as John called it) —not in a temple, but at a celebration with family and friends. Philip unpacks how Jesus turned water into wine, showing it wasn't just about saving a party, but demonstrating his divine purpose and power to make all things new. Through this intimate glimpse of Christ's ministry, we discover how staying close to Jesus lets u...

The sermon challenges listeners to examine what they're truly seeking, whether they're allowing Christ to transform their identity, and what "impossible" situations they need to surrender to Jesus. Like these first disciples, we're called to be "bringers"—people who introduce others to Jesus by saying "come and see."

This Sunday, Dan reveals how a lifetime of patient trust led to an extraordinary temple encounter with the infant Christ. Drawing from Luke 2, he shares how this devout man's story challenges us to recognize God's promises in our own seasons of waiting. Whether you're seeking purpose, peace, or simply wondering if God remembers you, this powerful message shows how submitting to the Spirit's prompt...

This Sunday, Jonge brings the Christmas story through the eyes of these outcast shepherds who received an extraordinary heavenly revelation. Through their remarkable journey of faith and obedience, we see how God uses ordinary people to share His extraordinary message. This powerful sermon challenges us to move beyond our doubts and fears to actively respond to God's call, just as the shepherds di...
