Morningview Sermon Podcast

This week, we come to the story of another sinner that Jesus met on the road through Jericho. Zacchaeus was rich and had his sight, but he was in just as deep a state of need as the blind beggar. The Holy Spirit led Luke to place these two passages, and therefore these two characters, side-by-side. Through the first man, we see the focus on faith. Through the second man, we see a focus on repentan...

In this sermon from Philippians 3:20-21, Pastor Jon English explains the hope that believers have in the future resurrection, transformed bodies, and our heavenly citizenship. This short sermon was preached after the death of one of Morningview Baptist Church's former pastors, Greg Graham.

Christ is a compassionate Savior, and His call to all of humanity is to come to Him and trust in Him for forgiveness and grace and healing and life. How sad it is that the prevailing wisdom of the age teaches either that there is no God, or that if there is One, He is not to be bothered. In this passage of Scripture, we see a desperate, blind beggar who would not be silenced by the crowd because h...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 13:8-13, Pastor Jon English Lee explains how love is superior to all other spiritual gifts and graces.

The rich young ruler's rejection of the call to follow Christ raised a question in Peter's heart: “What about us, Lord? We have left everything to follow You; What about us?” In Jesus's answer, we have the promise of reward for all who believe in Him, and we have the description of His torturous death and resurrection by which He would purchase this reward. Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew...

Pastoral Intern Robert Gardner examines Paul's exhortation in Philippians 2:19-30 to give honor to those who faithfully and lovingly serve the body.

The parable of the rich young ruler is most often preached as a story about the danger of loving money or making wealth an idol in one's life, and those truths are certainly center stage here. But what is actually happening here is that Jesus is using the issue of idolizing wealth to teach us about true goodness, to teach us about our need for an imputed goodness – more specifically, an impute...

Pastoral Intern Robert Gardner looks into the appeal Paul makes to the Philippians to walk in obedience because of the change in nature that Christ has worked in them through his atoning sacrifice. Scripture Text: Philippians 2:15-18

Most pastors, when preaching this text about parents bringing their infants to Jesus, go right to the subject of how to lead your children to Christ. Our hearts and minds are rightly drawn to consider something so very important, but this text really isn't about showing our children the right way to Christ's Kingdom. It's more about how our children show us the right way to Christ'...

Pastoral Intern Robert Gardner examines Paul's instruction to the Philippian church and the promise for those who are in Christ to be children of God without blemish.

As we continue through chapter 18 of the Gospel of Luke, we are exploring another parable given by Jesus – the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector who went up to the temple to pray. I have entitled this sermon “The TRUE Sinner's Prayer” because what we are taught here is that a true prayer for salvation is God-centered and is characterized by humility, brokenness over sin, and absolute d...

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan Nelson gives four truths from 2 Corinthians 4 that helped Paul not to lose heart amidst ongoing trials and temptations.

In Luke 17, Jesus taught His disciples about His second coming, about how all of history is moving toward a time of final judgement. We, as the people of God in the midst of this sinful generation, are to trust His timing as He is moving us all toward that great and terrible day. How is our confidence and trust in Him born out during those times of difficulty? What do we do to seek Him and depend...

The end times is always one of the topics that Christians are very curious about. In our text this morning, Jesus teaches us about some of these things. The core question Jesus is answering in this passage is: “When will the King of Heaven make this broken world right and what will that time look like?” Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew Scripture Text: Luke 17:20-37

In this sermon Pastor Jon English explains how pride makes a man sinfully insistent, easily provoked, and resentful. Also, Christ demonstrates that loving meekness is instead deferential to others, stable, and ready to forgive. Preacher: Dr. Jon English Lee Scripture Text: 1 Corinthians 13:5
