Deep Springs Baptist Church Sermon Series

Jesus rides into Jerusalem one last time.  This time, He comes in on a donkey just as Zechariah had predicted nearly 500 years earlier.  The crowds are happy to receive their King so they shout and spread palm branches along the way.  But amidst all the celebration and shouting, the Savior weeps.  This is the paradox of Palm Sunday.  Jesus Christ weeps because His people did not realize the time o...

Persecution scatters the believers away from Jerusalem. One of the Seven (Philip) goes down to Samaria and preaches the Messiah.  A great revival takes place and many are saved, healed, and delivered from demonic power.  A former magician named Simon also believes and is baptized.  But is he really saved? His actions will demonstrate he isn't bearing the fruit of true repentance.  There was a dela...

Philip is directed by the angel of the Lord to leave the revival in Samaria and go to a desert place.  As he obeys the command, Philip encounters a high-ranking official from Ethiopia.  The Spirit of God directed him to engage the Ethiopian and the man invited Philip to join him and explain the scriptures.  Upon believing, the eunuch requested to be baptized.  Philip discerned that the Ethiopian's...

The church survived the external attack from the enemy in Acts 3 and 4, but now an internal attack will come from within their own ranks.  The believers had a unity so strong it was said they were of "one heart and one soul." Satan sought to undermine this unity through the hypocrisy of Ananias and Sapphira.  In this text we will see "great power", "great grace", and "great fear."

After the healing of the lame man in Acts 3, John and Peter are cast into jail by the Jewish authorities.  The Sanhedrin threaten the apostles to teach no longer in the name of Jesus.  After preaching the Gospel to them, Peter and John refuse to obey the orders of the Jewish leaders.  After they are released, they return to their own company for a prayer meeting.  God answers their prayers in mira...

As we conclude our study in Acts 2 and the birth of the Church, we see the LORD adding to their number daily those who were being saved.  We will look at why all people need to be saved.  The Apostle Paul lays out an iron-clad case in Romans 1-3.  The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.  Thank God for the gospel of grace!  Have you believed in th...

As we continue in our study of the birth of the Church, we look at the marks of a healthy church.  They were fulfilling the purposes of worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and compassion. Their winsome approach became contagious to those around them.  As a result, their witnessing met great results.  We are told that the LORD added to the church those who were being saved on a daily bas...

In today's episode we look at the birthday of the Church once again. Our focus today will be on the miracles and signs done by the Apostles.  We will address such topics as "are there apostles today?" The scriptures tell us that the believers sold property and shared with those in need.  Does that mean that the Bible supports socialism, Marxism, and communism?  Join us with an open Bible today! 

In today's message we look at the exponential growth of the Church on the Day of Pentecost.  The new group of disciples find themselves devoted to four disciplines in Luke's summary statement.  They were devoted to the Apostle's doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer.  This text serves as a great reminder to see if a church is meeting the basic requirements of a healthy assembly. 

We continue in our study of Acts chapter two and the birth of the Church.  After Peter's sermon, the Holy Spirit brought deep conviction on the crowds.  Peter urged them to repent and be baptized in Jesus' name and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Peter reminded them that the promise of the Holy Spirit is for them, their children, and to those who are far off.  We also look at the...

We continue in our study of Acts chapter 2.  After the signs of Pentecost and Peter's great sermon, the crowds fall under conviction.  Upon asking Peter and the Apostles what they must do, Peter explains they must repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus, and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  We will examine some of the controversies and misunderstandings that stem from this passage...

After Peter's powerful sermon on the Day of Pentecost, the crowd felt deep conviction and a sense of urgency.  The Word of God and the Spirit of God had produced this conviction.  Their question ("what shall we do?") indicated their desperate desire to be right with God. Peter then explains that the first step is repentance.  In this message, we will examine what repentance is and what it is not. 

Continuing in our study of the birth of the Church, we will examine the content of Peter's first sermon on the day of Pentecost.  His introduction from Joel counters the claim that the Apostles were drunk.  He then moves on to the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of the Lord Jesus.  This is a masterful sermon rich with theological content from the Old Testament Scriptures. 

Today we look at Acts 2 and the birth of the Church.  Luke is careful to explain to us that what he is writing about is the fulfillment of the ancient feast of Weeks (or Pentecost).   We will look at the sounds, sights, and Spirit-inspired speech that followed. 

In this 12-22-24 sermon, we look at reasons for the Incarnation.  Why did God have to become a man?  This explains the true meaning of the Nativity. 

In this end of the year sermon, we look at Paul's letter to the Philippians.  He encourages them to rejoice always in the Lord.  He exhorts them to cast all of their anxiety on the Lord and pray instead of worrying.  As we do those things (with thanksgiving!) the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds! 

In today's episode we look at four specific prophecies concerning the birth and infancy of Jesus Christ.  His birth in Bethlehem and subsequent flight to Egypt, Herod's slaughter of the infants, and the Royal Family settling in Nazareth were all predicted by the Old Testament prophets.  These are no mere coincidences and all prove that Jesus Christ is indeed the promised Messiah of Israel and the...

Joseph and Mary bring the infant Jesus into the Temple.  He is obedient to all of the regulations of the Law.  Simeon and Anna are representative of the godly remnant who were looking for the Messiah. 

We come to the conclusion of the Samson narrative.  How will he be remembered? What lessons can we glean? 

Paul's final instructions to Timothy as one called to be a soldier in God's army!  

The Samson narrative continues as God uses him to keep the Philistines at bay.  At last, we finally see Samson calling upon God in prayer and the LORD's gracious response! 

The early church encountered some difficulties along with their exponential growth.  In response to the challenges, God raised up Spirit-empowered leaders to assist those whose primary task was prayer and the ministry of the Word. 

In this study, we look at one of the ordinances of the church, commonly called The Lord's Supper. 

The last judge in Judges has an origin story unlike any of the others.

The story of Jephthah is both touching and tragic.
