Edgefield Church Nashville – Sermons

The story of David and Goliath isn’t really about David or Goliath. It’s about God’s commitment to vindicate his name by saving his people when they trust in him.

The apostle Paul reminds the first century Christians in Rome of their wonderful new life in the Spirit and how to deal with their stubborn sin. 

Samuel feared the Lord. Saul feared the Philistines, and even his own people. Who will you fear?

In the rise of Saul, God gave Israel the king they asked for, not the king they needed. But in his great mercy, he turns his judgment into their deliverance.

The God of Israel is too big to control, but he is big enough to help.

The line between those who know the Lord and those who do not is whether we hear the Word of the Lord and ignore it, or hear the Word of the Lord and embrace it.

The story of Hannah shows us what true faith looks like—the faith Israel would need in the mess they were in, and the faith we need to grab hold of what God has promised us.

1-2 Samuel show us why it’s such good news that Jesus has come as king. Judges shows us why we need a king in the first place.

Paul concludes his letter by reminding the Corinthians to love all brothers and sisters in Christ.

Paul continues to explain to the first century church in Corinth that they will receive resurrection bodies. But with what bodies will they come? And when will they come? And what will that mean for how they are to live on earth now? 

Having explained the truth of the resurrection of Christ, Paul reveals the consequences of Jesus rising for the Corinthians past, future, and present. 

Paul reminds the Corinthians of the essentials of the gospel - that which they must proclaim and hold fast to.

What does a love for the church body look like? For the sake of unbelievers and believers alike, the Corinthians are to desire the gift of prophecy over the gift of tongues.

Paul says of all the gifts the Spirit could give, love matters most. But what kind of love is he talking about? And why is it so important?

In the body of Christ, everybody is gifted, and nobody is self-sufficient.

What is the point of the Lord's Supper? And how can we make sure we're aiming for it?

Why was Paul so concerned about head coverings and hairstyles? Should we be? 

Paul gives the Corinthian church the motivation for following Christ in all circumstances, and with particular regard to eating with pagan friends.

Idolatry boils down to what you want most and how you hope to get it. Paul shows us how to avoid it. 

Let's gladly give up what we can't keep to gain what won't fade. What matters isn't whether we get what we deserve but whether we get to connect others to Jesus. 

Guest preacher, Shaka Mitchell, shares a message from 1 Corinthians 8. 

Edgefield Church's Good Friday Service - April 7, 2023

What do Christians believe about Jesus? Why should I believe this message is true? How can I receive this message myself? And how will it change my life if I do?

What does it look like to grow as a Christian? Learning to remain where you are, and remember where you're going. 

Christian contentment flows from knowing that where you are in life is a gift from God. He is with you right where you are.
