Living Faith Christian Church Sermons

Death is something our culture avoids thinking about but cannot avoid experiencing in the end. No matter your status in life, all humans share the same fate. The Bible teaches us how death entered our world and God's plan for immortality for those who trust in Jesus Christ. And the testimony of Scripture beautifully shows that what God originally intended in the beginning he will bring about in th...

Just as Jesus was raised from the dead, those who trust in Jesus will be raised back to life at his return. This foundational biblical truth isn't just to remember at a funeral, but a reality that give us courage, comfort and our calling.

How do you interact with new or different information? Do you mindlessly accept it? Do you quickly reject it? The disciples from a city named Berea were commended for their humility to receive Paul's message, but also their commitment check the message against the testimony of Scripture. A "Berean" is someone with a hunger to know God through His word and do the good and important work of studying...

Hear how God has been working in and through His people this last year. A closing word and prayer from Psalm 24 and 25.

When you read the story of Jesus’ birth, the people involved are filled with wonder, joy and praise. They break out in song, ponder deeply, run, wake up their neighbors and more. One of the reasons why is because they are experiencing the love of God in that he has kept his word. Every time God fulfills his word, it’s an expression of his love.

The great news of Jesus ought to inspire joy in those who hear and believe this glorious announcement. But joy too often seems just out of grasp. How can we have a deep and inner joy that doesn't get absorbed by the world around us? We've got a choice to make.

We have peace with God through the work of Jesus Christ. This peace allows us to make peace with others because of the grace, mercy, and love we have found from God. God made people with us so we can make peace with others.

Where can we find hope and is it sure? Hope can be found because we have been justified by faith and have God's grace and love surrounding our lives.

There's plenty to complain about in life, but much more to give thanks to God for! Considering His love, salvation, personal care and power dramatically shifts the scales from grumbling to gratitude. A look at Psalm 118, the final Hallel Psalm

Difficulty, disappointment, darkness and delay can all inspire doubt, even in the heart of a believer. When our expectations of God aren't met, we can struggle and question. Where we go and what we do with our doubts makes all the difference in the world. A look at the doubts of John the Baptist from Matthew 11:1-6

The Bible is filled with records of miracles, power and victory. It is also filled with records of the passage of time during normal everyday life. Noah hears from God and is called to save a remnant of humans and animals and then he spends many days just building an ark. David faces down Goliath with courage and also spends a lot of time tending to his father's sheep. The time in between is a tim...

The world is an unreliable source for help. Looking inside ourselves for help is not where we find the help we need either. There is only one place where we can look to find help for our journey through life and beyond. Psalm 121 is one of the ancient Hebrew songs sung by pilgrims as they traveled to and from Jerusalem known as the songs of ascent. The psalm guides us to the place we can look to f...

When you look at the world around you, how do you feel? Are you angry, annoyed, or tempted to withdraw altogether? Jesus engaged with the world and all of its challenges, fueled by one thing - compassion. He interacted with those in need, took initiative in places of evil, and saw beyond the first glance - because of compassion. In our world and cultural moment, compassion is the one things we nee...

Jesus teaches us that this generation is like children who can't be satisfied and yet keep searching for something to fulfill their soul. He says that we're often presented with the very thing we need and yet we reject that thinking there's go to be something else. In the end though, there is only one thing that will satisfy and until we come to know this, we'll be weary and worn.

Surrounded by enemies, with uncertainty and unknowns all around, God's people know what to do. The LORD has promised to fight our battles and always be with us. Looking at the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20, we can learn to praise, trust God's promises and move forward in faith! Closing teaching from our 2024 Family Weekend and 20th Anniversary Sunday.

The big question in the election cycle is "who do you think will win?" We have thoughts and feelings on all the various outcomes and candidates.

Jeremiah 29 records a letter to Jewish exiles living in Babylon. They've been transplanted away from home and are living in a foreign land. How should they live and act as strangers in this pagan land? Jeremiah's writes that even though their exile is not what they want, it is what will be until things are restored. In the meantime they are called to be agents of God's peace in and for the land th...

Followers of Jesus are called to be set apart from the world around them and yet we're not called to withdraw from the world. 1 Peter 2 outlines some clear directives for God's people, commanding us to "honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God and honor the king." How do we do this in our emotionally charged political climate? Part 2 of our series on politics

When trying to make sense of the politically charged world we live in, it is important for God's people to be grounded in the biblical truth that God is over all. He is working to ensure His ultimate will is done and so while kings rise and fall and good and bad leaders come and go, we can trust that God is over all and His kingdom will endure forever. Part 1 of our series on politics
