Foothill Church Sermons

Gideon: The Mighty Man of Valor Judges 6 Gideon begins as an unlikely deliverer whom God graciously uses, but he ends as another flawed judge who cannot ultimately save God's people. By reading the whole story—not just the famous parts—we learn that the hero is never Gideon, but the Lord. Gideon's life leaves us longing for the perfect Deliverer, Jesus Christ. Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on...

Jacob and Esau: Despised, Deceived, and Delivered Genesis 25 God’s promise is too precious to despise, too great to seize in our own strength, and too gracious to be received by anything but faith. Through Esau, Jacob, and ultimately Jesus, we see that God faithfully fulfills His promises by grace, not human effort. Sermon Preached by Chris Gannon on June 28, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Romans 4:23–25 reminds us that the faith God counts as righteousness is available to all who trust in Him. Saving faith believes that Jesus died for our sins and rose again, proving that His work fully secured our justification. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on June 21, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Abraham’s faith grew as he came to know God more deeply throughout his life, learning that God cannot lie, remains perfectly faithful, and possesses the power to fulfill every promise He makes. The path to stronger faith is the same for us: fixing our eyes on God through His Word and His people, allowing our confidence in Him to grow as we remember who He is and...

Psalm 139 reminds us that God knows us completely, is always with us, and has been shaping our lives according to His good purposes from the very beginning. Because of who God is, the mature response of faith is not self-sufficiency but surrender, inviting Him to search us, transform us, and lead us in the way everlasting. Sermon Preached by Steve DuBransky on June 7, 2026 Foothill Church exists t...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace What kind of faith can stare down impossible circumstances and still trust God? Abraham’s example in Romans 4 shows us a faith that hopes, believes, perseveres, and acts on God's promises. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on May 31, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church  Learn...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace People naturally assume salvation works like Santa’s list: if we’re good enough, God will reward us, but Paul shows in Romans 4 that righteousness has never come through morality, law, or human effort. Instead, salvation is a gift of grace received through faith alone in Christ alone, giving believers the assurance that God’s promise depends on His faithfulness,...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Abraham’s life shows us that the Bible is ultimately about God’s grace, not simply moral lessons about better behavior. Yet Abraham still serves as an example of obedient faith, trusting God’s promises even when they seemed impossible. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on May 10, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make dis...

The Book of Psalms Psalm 133 Psalm 133 shows that true unity among God’s people is both beautiful and sacred, rooted in what is good, flowing from Christ our Great High Priest, and sustained by God’s blessing. This unity is grounded in truth, expressed through life in Christ, and leads to the fullness of eternal life with God. Sermon Preached by Chris Gannon on May 3, 2026 Foothill Church exists t...

The Book of Psalms Psalm 113 Psalm 113 calls us to praise God not as a reaction to good circumstances, but as a response to His unchanging worth. Because God is exalted above all yet stoops to lift the lowly, praise becomes both our calling and our lifeline in every season of life. When we choose to praise—even in suffering—God uses it to reorient our hearts and awaken our joy in Him. Sermon Preac...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace People resist the truth of salvation by grace because they want to claim some credit, but Paul shows that Abraham was counted righteous by faith long before circumcision. Circumcision, like baptism and the Lord’s Supper, does not save but points to Christ and confirms that all who believe are justified by faith alone. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on April 19, 2...

Baptism is like the first workout in your spiritual life. It can feel uncomfortable, but it is the moment where faith moves from internal belief to visible expression and where real growth begins. It is not just an obligation, but an invitation from Jesus into a deeper and more tangible relationship with Him. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on April 12, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by...

The question “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” reveals our tendency to look for life in things that cannot give it because we do not fully trust Jesus’ promises. True life is found only in the risen Christ, through whom everything else in life is rightly understood. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on April 5, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who...

All humanity lives under the curse of sin because no one can perfectly obey God’s law. But on the cross, Jesus became a curse for us so that through faith in Him we might be redeemed and brought into God’s blessing. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on April 3, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about o...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul confronts the deeply ingrained belief that we must contribute to our salvation by showing through Abraham and David that no one is justified by works but only by God’s grace through faith. Both the righteous and the broken are saved by trusting in Christ, whose righteousness is credited to us and whose grace removes our sin. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Romans 3:29–31 declares that there is one God and one way to be made right with Him through faith in Jesus, opening the door of salvation to anyone while leaving no room for boasting. Rather than setting aside God’s law, the gospel fulfills it completely as Jesus satisfies its demands, bears its penalty, and gives His righteousness to all who believe. Sermon Prea...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Romans 3:27–28 teaches that because salvation is entirely by God’s grace through faith in Christ, all human boasting is excluded. We contribute nothing that earns our salvation since it is a gift of God, and the faith that receives this gift produces a changed life that bears fruit. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on March 15, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorif...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Romans 3:24–26 shows that the gift of salvation is not a single benefit but a rich work of God that includes justification, redemption, and propitiation, all accomplished through the death of Christ. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, God both satisfies His righteous justice and freely declares sinners righteous by grace through faith. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on Ma...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul says there is no distinction, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and no one can rescue themselves or claim a better standing before him. Our only hope is grace through Jesus Christ, received by faith, because the ground is level at the foot of the cross. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on March 1, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Everyone lives with a relentless quest to be righteous and measure up to the scorecards of life, yet Romans 1–3 shows that no one can meet God’s standard and all stand condemned. But now God has revealed a righteousness apart from the law through faith in Jesus Christ, offering as a gift what we could never achieve. Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on February 22,...

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Before we can understand the solution Paul gives in Romans 3:21 and following, we must agree with his diagnosis in Romans 1:18–3:20 that our deepest problem is sin that makes us accountable to a holy God and subject to His wrath. Until we see that every mouth is stopped and the whole world stands guilty before Him, we will not grasp why the gospel is truly good n...

The Book of Psalms Psalm 23 Psalm 42 invites us to wrestle honestly with our emotions and to consider how God intends them to function in the life of a believer. As the psalmist acknowledges the depth of what he feels but refuses to be led by it, we learn to hope in God by anchoring our lives in truth rather than in the rise and fall of our feelings. Sermon Preached by Steve DuBransky on February...

After a fearful generation falls in the wilderness, God calls Joshua to lead a new people forward, commanding him to be strong and courageous because God Himself is with him. Courage comes not from strength or strategy, but from trusting God’s presence and obeying His Word. Sermon Preached by, guest preacher, Ryan Baitzel on February 1, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disci...

Man of God (Part 4) What we truly believe always shows up in how we live, because behavior is belief made visible, and when eternity and the reality of God become real to us, faithfulness stops being a burden and becomes a joy. Paul grounds Timothy’s obedience in a big, awe-filled vision of who God is, knowing that only a deep and true understanding of God’s greatness will produce men whose lives...

Man of God (Part 3) We love stories of fighting men because God has wired men with an impulse to protect, contend, and persevere, but Scripture redirects that impulse away from destructive battles and toward the good fight of faith. A man of God fights not for ego or anger, but by fleeing sin, pursuing godliness, taking hold of eternal life, and courageously confessing Christ for the sake of his o...
