Compass Bible Church Weekend Sermons

In this sermon, we delve into  John 5:30-47 , where Jesus, aware of the doubts surrounding His testimony, turns to the diverse witnesses appointed by the Father to affirm His true identity. This passage uncovers the problem of unbelief, a problem as real today as it was for the Jews nearly 2,000 years ago Join us this weekend as we dive into the dangers of unbelief that threaten both believer...

Join us for a compelling study of John 5:24-29 that delves into one of life's most profound mysteries: what happens after we die. In this text, Jesus speaks with unparalleled authority about the afterlife, offering clear insights into the concept of resurrection and eternal destiny. He presents a future that diverges into two distinct paths, challenging us to contemplate a critical question: Which...

In the aftermath of Jesus’ controversial healing at Bethesda, we witness a pivotal moment where Jesus openly confronts his challengers. This powerful encounter not only asserts Jesus’ true mission and identity but also serves as a poignant reminder to us of how we should respond. This text reveals why Jesus is worthy of a life of worship.

As we get back to our study of John's gospel, we come to another of Jesus' signs. Remember, John included the signs he did in order that we might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and that believing we might have eternal life. In  John 5 , Jesus heals a paralytic whose hope had been wrongly placed in the mythical healing powers of a pool. Join us this weekend and find out what you and I have...

What are your resolutions for 2024? There are plenty of opportunities for us to resolve to better ourselves in 2024 from reading more and binging less to eating less and exercising more. As Christians, there's one resolution that we should be making with each passing year. Join us Sunday to discover the one resolution every Christian should make this year.

As we conclude our “What Child is This?” series, we are going to look to the familiar story of the Magi. These mysterious travelers from the east who brought such extravagant gifts and prostrated themselves before a child can teach us a great deal about our own relationship with King Jesus. As we unpack Jesus, the Son of God, we will find that this royal title given to this little child holds sign...

As we continue our “What Child is This?” series, we come to Jesus, the Son of Abraham. Christmas is a time that we love to spend with family. We surround ourselves with those we love, as we look back fondly on past memories and seek to make new ones. There’s something about this season that makes us desire to be with those to whom we feel the closest bonds. That desire has been hardwired in us by...

Our Christmas series here at Compass will take a look at three unique aspects of the identity of this baby that everyone stops to focus on during this time of the year. In this first message, our focus will be on his identity as the Son of Adam. In  Luke 3, we  find a list of names called a genealogy. What makes this list of names special is that it is the genealogy of Jesus. It begins w...

If you’ve ever come home to a dog, you know unbridled unconditional affection. As soon as you open the door, that dog is excited that you’re there. He’s not concerned with what you’re bringing home or whether you have something for him or not. He’s just happy to be with you. Well, Christian, if I may, I’d like to suggest that we need a little more of that attitude when it comes to our relationship...

If you come across a field on a farm, you expect to find crops come harvest season. In this area of North Texas we watch and see the corn planted in early summer and harvested a few months later. In  John 4:26-42 , Jesus pivots from his interaction with the woman at the well to call his disciples to see the harvest field of souls that was all around them. As followers of Christ, we too have b...

Hindsight  is 20 /20. This is a phrase I trust you’ve heard before, but have you ever considered it in light of God’s saving work in your life? I’m not talking about the precise moment that he saved you. No, I’m talking about the numerous times his grace and patience showed up in your life to lead you to that moment of faithful surrender. But it didn’t end at salvation either. His patient gra...

As we celebrate child dedications this weekend, we’ll take a break from John and look at a passage that has a lot to say about godly parenting. There are so many voices competing for our kids in this world, and this text reminds us that we must do everything we can to ensure that God’s word is the loudest and clearest of all. Though we may not be able to impart eternal life to our children, we can...

Have you ever wondered if God could really save _______________? The names that fill that blank represent people that we’ve perhaps written off or people we’ve shared the gospel with a hundred times, only to be rebuffed and rejected a hundred times. Our passage this weekend gives us hope for those names in that blank. Our text finds Jesus engaging with the unlikeliest of people as he patiently con...

The narrative resumes in this weekend's passage as we check in again with John the Baptist. He and his disciples were still out in the wilderness, baptizing people and calling them to repentance. But now, Jesus' disciples were doing the same thing, and it seems that John's disciples were a little jealous of how many people were going after Jesus instead. However, this jealousy would be short-lived...

This weekend's passage picks up from where we left off last week, focusing on God's sending his Son for the world. John's argument progresses as he shifts focus to the impact that Jesus would have on those in the world that he came to save. We'll find that no one who meets Jesus walks away without making a decision about Jesus. When it comes to a person's position on Jesus, there are no neutral pa...

In this sermon, we pick up John's commentary on the interaction between Jesus and Nicodemus. In this verse, John provides one of the most profound explanations of God's love for us in Christ.  John 3:16  is a great reminder that you've never known love until you've known the love of the Father.

This weekend at Compass, we meet Nicodemus, one of the last people you would ever expect to show an interest in Jesus! Nicodemus came curious about what made Jesus so different, but Jesus had another agenda. Join us as we eavesdrop on this conversation where Jesus reveals the secret to life.

In our passage this week, Jesus confronts both the perversion of the system and the blindness of the leaders, stepping boldly onto the religious scene and squarely into the crosshairs of the Jewish leaders. This passage encourages us to make sure our worship is of the sort that pleases and exalts our God and Savior.

In this sermon, we come to the first of seven signs of Jesus that John records for us in this gospel. As we witness this miracle through John’s account, we’ll come ro realize that there’s more at work than meets the eye. In John 2:1-11, we begin to understand more of who Jesus is and what he came to do.

This sermon is called “Jesus is Calling: What the Call of Jesus Really Sounds Like.” In this message, we will be reminded of the power of that initial call to follow Jesus and our role as his ambassadors sent with the same call to the lost in our lives. Whether you’ve responded to this call to follow Jesus or you’re still deciding, join us this Sunday to find out more about why this call is the mo...

In this sermon, we look at John 1:19-34. In this passage, John the Baptist will help us understand why Jesus forever transforms our identity, our position, and our mission as his followers in this world. If you’ve ever wondered how to be a Christian, or if you’ve ever wanted to be a better Christian, this weekend’s message is for you!

This is an exciting weekend at Compass as we will observe our first communion service! We’ll take a break from the Gospel of John for a special message on communion from  1 Corinthians 11:17-34 .

In this sermon, we wrap up our first series in John called “Meet Jesus,” as John’s introduction to our Savior comes to an end in verses 15-18. This sermon is all about grace; the inexhaustible, unassailable, immeasurable grace that has come through Jesus.

In this sermon, we will be looking at the Christmas story according to John. It's not overly developed. It only takes up one verse, but it contains some of the most profound theology in the entire book.

This sermon focuses on  John 1:6-13  and why it is crucial to not overlook Jesus. We want everyone to have the opportunity not only to meet Jesus, but to also fully understand the purpose of his arrival.
