Collinsville Church of Christ Sermons

In this third installment of our "Hope for the Holidays" series, we explore how God bypasses the palaces of the powerful to meet ordinary people in the middle of their mundane routines. Discover how the presence of Jesus has the power to turn your greatest fears into overwhelming joy and how being "unnoticed" by the world doesn't mean you are unseen by God.

We all have a "blueprint" for a perfect life—especially around the holidays. But what happens when the plan falls apart? In Part 2 of our series Hope for the Holidays, we look at Joseph, a man whose life was turned upside down by a scandalous interruption. If you are navigating broken plans, family chaos, or disappointed expectations this season, this message from Matthew 1:18–25 will remind you t...

In Part 1 of our series "Hope for the Holidays," we open to Luke 1 and step into the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth. After 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments, and decades of personal silence in their own home, they discover that God is often doing His deepest work when we can't see what's happening.

Grace wasn’t meant to stop with you—it was designed to overflow. In this final message of our "Grace Poured Out" series, we look at how to let God’s mercy spill over onto the people around us this Thanksgiving. From guarding our words to extending forgiveness, make your life a "fragrant offering" to God.

Is grace just a "get out of jail free" card, or is it something more? In Week 3 of our "Grace Poured Out" series, we dive into Titus 2:11-14 to discover that the grace that saves us is also the grace that trains us. This sermon explores how grace isn't just a pardon for our past but an active, transformative power for our present.

How can God be both 100% just and 100% gracious? If he ignores our sin, how is he just? If he only punishes, how is he merciful? In this sermon, we explore the answer found in Romans 3:21-26. The cross is the "channel" where God's justice was satisfied and his grace was poured out on us. We unpack the powerful ideas of justification, redemption, and propitiation—and what they mean for you.

We often feel stuck in a cycle of trying to be "good enough" for God, only to fall short. In Part 1 of our new series, "Grace Poured Out," we explore God's powerful self-revelation in Exodus 34. We discover that grace isn't just what God does; it's who God is. Before grace was an act, it was his core identity: "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love."

Based on the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, this sermon explores Jesus's radical call for his followers to forgive generously, far beyond what is expected. It examines the difficult, often painful process of "cleaning the wound" and what biblical forgiveness truly means—and what it doesn't. Discover how our ability to forgive others flows directly from a proper appreciation of the immeasurabl...

How do you find hope when you're walking through the valley? This sermon, rooted in Psalm 23, shows that perseverance comes not from self-strength, but from Christ's presence and power, which turns our struggles into a testimony of His provision. Our pain in this time and place is set against the backdrop of eternity, knowing God is actively pursuing us with goodness and love. Ultimately, we are c...

In this powerful conclusion to our "Generational Faith" series, we explore how faith communities pass on hope from one generation to the next. Through Paul's letters to Timothy, we discover that God uses imperfect people to create sacred intersections where lives meet and faith multiplies across generations.

In this message, we explore one of the few times Jesus became genuinely angry: when his disciples tried to keep children away from him (Mark 10:13-16). What does this reveal about God's heart for the youngest among us. Children are not merely the "church of tomorrow" but Jesus says they're vital to the kingdom of God today.

Passing faith to the next generation doesn't require perfection or elaborate programs—it happens through authentic faith lived out in everyday moments. God's plan for spiritual formation unfolds naturally at kitchen tables, in car rides, and through ordinary conversations, while the church family provides crucial support for every household. This practical message from Deuteronomy 6 shows parents...

Every generation stands at a crossroads: will they inherit the faith of their ancestors or drift into spiritual amnesia? In 'The Heirloom of Hope,' we explore Psalm 78's urgent call to pass on the same hope that sustained Abraham, carried David through dark caves, and kept Paul rejoicing in prison - the hope that still anchors us today. Discover why the next generation is counting on us, how God p...

In this powerful conclusion to our 14-week journey through Hebrews, we discover what it means to live as citizens of a city that will never fall. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, struggling with lukewarm Christianity, or feeling weary in your spiritual journey, this message offers hope that's unshakeable. Discover what it means to pursue an authentic relationship with Jesus, and...

When life gets dangerous and faith becomes costly, what changes about how we live? In this powerful message from Hebrews 13:1-6, we discover how genuine hope in Christ transforms our everyday choices—especially when we're under pressure.

In this sermon from Hebrews 12, we explore what it means to run the race of faith with endurance. Drawing on the example of the great cloud of witnesses and fixing our eyes on Jesus—the founder and perfecter of our faith—we discover how God shapes us through life’s challenges, sustains us with his strength, and invites us into his unshakable kingdom. Be encouraged to press on, trust his training,...

When you can't see God's plan, how do you keep moving forward? In this message, we explore Hebrews 11's definition and demonstration of faith that sustains hope in dark times. Discover how faith is more than wishful thinking, but holding the "title deed" to spiritual realities more solid than what you can see. Learn from heroes like Noah and Abraham who acted on God's promises decades before seein...

In this message from our "Christ Above All" series, we see how Jesus, as our great High Priest, ministers from the true heavenly sanctuary; not a copy or shadow like the earthly temple, but the real dwelling place of God. Through the new covenant, God gives us more than merely better rules to follow; he transforms our hearts from the inside out, writing his ways on our minds and hearts. The old wa...

In a world of broken promises and shifting circumstances, where can we find hope that truly holds? This message explores God's unbreakable covenant with Abraham and what it means for us today. Discover why God's promises are backed by his unchangeable character, how his timing differs from ours (and why that's good news), and why our hope serves as an anchor reaching into God's very presence. When...

In this powerful message from our "Christ Above All" series through Hebrews, we explore why Jesus is the perfect High Priest who transcends every limitation. Unlike the ancient high priests who risked their lives entering God's presence once a year on the Day of Atonement, Jesus offers us something revolutionary: permanent, confident access to the throne of grace.

In this sermon we explore Hebrews 4 and the deep invitation God gives us to enter his perfect rest. This isn’t just about physical relaxation—it’s about soul-level peace, trust, and wholeness. You’ll be challenged to respond to God’s living Word, to walk in faith, and to draw near to Jesus, who meets us with mercy, grace, and help in our time of need.

In a world full of distractions, doubts, and discouragement, how do we stay faithful to the very end? This sermon from Hebrews 3:12–14 reminds us that faithfulness doesn’t happen by accident—it takes vigilance, community, and confidence in Christ. Whether you’re feeling spiritually strong or barely hanging on, this message will equip you with biblical insight and practical encouragement to perseve...

In this message from Hebrews 2:5–18, we explore the astonishing truth that Jesus became fully human—not just to save us from sin, but to stand with us in every struggle. As our Brother and Savior, he entered our weakness, defeated death, and walks beside us with compassion and strength. Because of him, we are never alone. This is the unshakable hope we hold in Christ above all.

In a world full of noise, distractions, and shifting cultural tides, it’s dangerously easy to drift. In this message, Jordon Crow calls us to anchor our lives in the truth of Christ and the salvation he offers. Drawing from Hebrews 2:1–4, we are reminded that God has spoken through Christ with clarity and power—confirmed by signs, witnesses, and the Spirit. The message challenges us to stay rooted...

In this message, we explore the majestic opening of Hebrews and discover why our hope is in Christ above all. Hebrews 1:1–4 presents a breathtaking portrait of Jesus as the final Word of God, the radiance of God’s glory, the sustainer of the universe, the purifier of our sins, and the one who reigns forever at the right hand of the Majesty on high. When we truly see who Jesus is, we find a hope th...
