City On A Hill Sermons

Acts Chapter 16

In this sermon, the message looks at Acts 13:36 and the testimony that David served his own generation by the will of God. The focus is on recognizing that every believer has been given purpose, responsibility, and access through the finished work of Jesus Christ. God has not called His people to stand helplessly before doors He has already given them keys to open. Through Christ, believers are in...

In this sermon, the message centers on the power of a comeback. Proverbs 24:16 reminds us that a just man may fall seven times, but he rises again. At some point in life, everyone loses their balance, but falling does not have to be the end of the story. From Moses at the burning bush, to Ezekiel prophesying to dry bones, to Lazarus hearing the voice of Jesus, Scripture shows us that God is able t...

In this sermon, the message comes from John 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery. She was guilty, the accusers knew the law, and they brought her before Jesus demanding a verdict. But instead of immediately answering them, Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust of the temple floor. This sermon looks at the tension of that moment, where law, accusation, guilt, and mercy all meet in the...

In this sermon, the message comes from 1 Corinthians 16, where Paul commands believers to watch, stand fast in the faith, act like men, be strong, and let everything be done with charity. The sermon looks at what it truly means to be a man from a biblical perspective, not simply by biology, age, culture, or society’s changing standards. While the world may define manhood by different milestones, S...

In this sermon, the message comes from James 1 and James 3, where Scripture deals plainly with the power of the tongue. James teaches that if a man seems religious but cannot bridle his tongue, his religion is vain. The sermon challenges the idea that worship can be separated from speech, reminding us that what comes out of the mouth reveals what is happening in the heart. True religion is not jus...

In this sermon, the message comes from Exodus 34, where God makes covenant with His people and warns them not to enter into covenant with the inhabitants of the land. The Lord declares that His name is Jealous, revealing that His jealousy is not insecurity or envy like we often think of in human terms, but His holy refusal to share His people with any rival. He is zealous over the covenant He has...

In this sermon, the message comes from John 9 and the story of the man who was blind from birth. When the disciples saw his condition, they immediately tried to assign blame, asking whether his blindness was caused by his sin or his parents’ sin. But Jesus revealed a greater purpose: this man’s condition would become a place where the works of God would be made manifest. The sermon reminds us that...

In this sermon, the message looks at the words of Jesus in Matthew 16:24-26, where He calls His disciples to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. While the phrase “my cross to bear” is often used today to describe a hardship or burden someone has to live with, this sermon points back to what those words would have meant when Jesus first spoke them. A cross was not a symbol of inco...

In this sermon, the message centers on the command of Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” In a world filled with confusion, constant noise, social media, opinions, fear, and endless voices, the believer must learn that not every voice deserves attention. Just as Jesus stood in the storm in Mark 4 and spoke, “Peace, be still,” there are times when the voices of fear, doubt, and confusi...

In this sermon, “A Savior That’ll Get in the Dirt,” the message looks at John 13 and the powerful moment when Jesus washed His disciples’ feet. While this passage is often taught as an example of humility and service, this sermon goes deeper into the tension of the room. The Lord of all knelt down in the place of a servant, showing us that God is not distant, unreachable, or standing over us like...

In this sermon, the message centers on the purpose of God bringing His people into unity with Himself and with one another. Using John 17:22-23, the sermon shows that Christ did not simply come to improve our lives outwardly, but to bring us into a true union with Him. Through faith, the believer is called into a new nature, being made one with Christ and increasingly conformed to His life. The se...

Romans 8:28 is often quoted as a promise that everything will eventually work out in our favor—but that’s only part of the story. In this message, Pastor Damon unpacks the deeper meaning behind the verse, revealing that the “good” God is working toward is not merely better circumstances, but transformation . Paul continues the thought in verse 29, showing that the true goal is that we would be con...

This message reveals that Jonah is about far more than a fish. It is about descent, confrontation, and transformation . When God called Jonah to speak to Nineveh, he ran the other way, choosing escape over obedience. But the deeper Jonah went—from Joppa, to the sea, to the depths, to the belly of Sheol—the more God exposed what was underneath the surface. Sometimes God will send you straight towar...

Searching For Jesus

In this message, Pastor Damon reveals the powerful shift from a place of worship to a people of His presence . When Jesus cleansed the temple, He wasn’t just correcting behavior—He was pointing to something greater. The physical temple was never the end goal. It was always a shadow of what was coming. Jesus declared, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” speaking not of a bu...

This message follows the powerful progression of Nicodemus through the Gospel of John. He first comes to Jesus by night , drawn by what he sees but still hidden by fear and uncertainty. Later, he speaks up in defense of Jesus before the religious leaders. Finally, after the crucifixion, he steps fully into the light—bringing an extravagant, kingly amount of spices to help bury Christ. Nicodemus sh...

From Acts 2, Pastor Damon preached on the unmistakable movement of God at Pentecost— sudden, powerful, and from heaven . The Spirit did not arrive as something manufactured by man, but as a sound from above, filling the house and setting fire upon each believer. This fire was not only a sign of power, but of purity —burning away what is temporary and leaving what is holy and lasting. When they wer...

From John 8, Pastor Damon exposed the cruel deception of sin. Jesus said whoever commits sin is the servant of sin — not a willing helper, but a bondman , ruled by a cruel master with no real voice and no real freedom. Sin is not democracy. It is a dictatorship, and its wage is always death. The tragedy is that bondage often hides itself behind the illusion of control. People say, “I’ve got this,”...

On Easter Sunday, Pastor Damon preached a powerful message on redemption and inheritance from Jeremiah 32. Even while Jeremiah sat in prison, God told him to buy a field—a prophetic act declaring that what looked lost was not gone forever. The right of redemption and the right of inheritance were still in effect. That same truth points us to Christ. Revelation 5 shows heaven searching for one wort...

In this message, Brother Sam Harper brings the gospel into its clearest and most personal form— Jesus meets you at your lowest . Psalm 139 reminds us that there is nowhere we can go to escape God’s presence—even if we make our bed in hell . Not just mistakes. Not just bad days. But even the places we chose, the mess we created, the decisions we regret— He still comes there . Just like the prodigal...

In this message, Jason uses the story of Israel crossing the Red Sea to remind us that we were never meant to stay in bondage—we were called to the promised land . Egypt represents sin and the past, while the Red Sea represents the blood of Jesus , the place where fear, shame, and everything chasing you gets washed away. Even when fear rises and your past tries to pull you back, God has already ma...

In this message, Thomas Dulin breaks down the reality of cravings —not just physical, but spiritual. We all crave something, but not every craving leads to life. Some cravings heal and draw us closer to God , while others drain us, leaving us empty, guilty, and unfulfilled. Scripture shows that even in the crowds, people were drawn to Jesus because something inside them recognized what they truly...
