Fairview Presbyterian Church (PCA) Sermons

Continuing our sermon series through some of the miracles of Jesus, we look at the raising of Lazarus, a miracle that will prepare us for Jesus' own resurrection.

Continuing in our sermon series through some of the miracles of Jesus, we look at the time when Jesus paid the temple tax for himself and for Peter. There is more going on though, than meets the eye. Jesus is showing who He is and teaching us, as children of God, who we ought to be in the process. Give a listen and be blessed by God’s Word today.

When the disciples see the man born blind, they ask a question of Jesus that sounds like it was lifted from the book of Job. They ask, “Who sinned? This man or his parents?” Jesus shows us that it was not this man or his parents. Instead, Jesus, in providing sight to the blind man, is displaying the works of God. Give a listen and be assured that in our suffering, God is still at work.

In the middle of the storms of life we sometimes wonder, “Where are you God?” When the disciples were in the middle of the sea with a storm raging around them, Jesus came to their rescue. This scripture shows us that God uses the storms of life to increase our faith.

When Jesus multiplied the fish and the loaves, he did more than feed the stomachs of his followers. He told his followers to look to him, that as God fed the Israelites with manna in the wilderness after the Exodus, so Jesus is the true bread from heaven.

Mark 9:14-29 is a text for those who struggle with unbelief. But the text doesn’t simply present the problem; it provides the solution - prayer. Give a listen and have your faith strengthened by the reading and the preaching of God’s Word.

On Christmas Eve, we consider Jesus’ own words for his birth, for when He appears before Pilate, Jesus says in John 18:37, “For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world - to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

Previously we looked at the miracle of the virgin birth; on this particular Sunday we stay with the theme of Jesus' birth to consider what we might call the miracle of Immanuel. Give a listen and know that in Christ, God is with you.

Continuing our sermon series through Jesus’ miracles, we take time to consider the miracle of Jesus - the virgin birth. Give a listen and be blessed in the reading and preaching of God’s Word.

With Jesus’ raising of the widow’s son back to life in Luke 7, we see Jesus do the unexpected - his first resurrection miracle. Give a listen as we continue our sermon series through some of the miracles of Jesus.

The book of Mark jumps right into the action of Jesus’ ministry, and we see that as He teaches, heals, and drives out demons, he does so not as other religious rulers, but with the authority of God. Give a listen as we continue in our sermon series through the miracles of Jesus.

In a life of pain and sorrow sometimes it’s a challenge to see beyond our circumstances. How then shall we live? We must maintain thanksgiving even when our praises are mixed with tears. Give a listen and give thanks to God from whom all blessings flow.

The miracles of Jesus are intended so that we may believe in him. We see this clearly when Jesus heals the nobleman’s son. Give a listen and trust that Jesus is the Christ.

Beginning a new sermon series we turn our attention to Jesus’ first miracle, turning the water to wine. Give a listen and know that Jesus is the promised and powerful Messiah.

On this Sunday, we take time to turn to the parable of the rich fool to see how we ought to be rich towards God, lay up our treasures in heaven, and guard our hearts against covetousness.

The fourth chapter of the book of Jonah reveals why the prophet did not want to go to Nineveh - he knew God would relent of the promised disaster if the people would repent. Jonah did not believe Nineveh should have such mercy. Christians must remember that we are saved in Christ because of God’s mercy. We do not deserve salvation. God simply showers us with grace upon grace because He is a "graci...

Jonah 3 proves correct that statement that runs as a refrain throughout scripture: God is “merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.” God works through the prophet Jonah to produce repentance throughout the city of Nineveh.

Thus far in the book of Jonah we have seen others pray, but not the prophet. In the "belly of Sheol," when Jonah finally prays in Chapter 2, we see that the Lord hears him. God hears us when we call on Him in faith in Jesus.

Luke 10:25-37

Looking at Jonah 1:17, we pull in Jesus’ words from Matthew 12:38-42 to consider what Jesus meant by the sign of Jonah and how this authenticates the story of Jonah and the fish.

For this fourth Sunday evening worship service, we jump into Jeremiah and John 6 to understand what is meant by free will and that our salvation is all of God’s grace in Christ Jesus. As the Westminster Confession of Faith puts in chapter 9: “When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, he frees him from his natural bondage under sin; and, by his grace alone, enables him...

“When we began Jonah, we saw that the prophet was unwilling to preach repentance to Nineveh. He instead fled in the opposite direction and boarded a ship for Tarshish. The Lord, in His sovereignty, uses Jonah’s disobedience to show mercy to the mariners on board the ship.”

“Beginning a new sermon series on Jonah, we take the first three verses to see God’s command to Jonah and the prophet’s response. What we’ll see throughout this book is that our God is relentless in His mercy.”

Concluding our sermon series through 1 Thessalonians, we look at Paul's prayer for the church and the certainty of sanctification.

Paul begins the conclusion of his letter to the Thesalonains speaking to their responsibility towards church leadership, towards each other, and towards God in worship.
