"Did Jesus Christ truly rise from the dead? In this sermon on Matthew 28:1–15, we consider one of the most important questions in all of history: is the resurrection a real historical event? The Christian faith does not rest on vague spiritual principles or moral lessons, but on the concrete historical act of God in raising Jesus from the dead. We walk carefully through the resurrection accou...

"When God’s anointed suffers, God still provides. In 1 Samuel 21, David is on the run for his life. Hunted by Saul, cut off from safety, and uncertain who he can trust, he finds himself in desperate need. Yet even in the wilderness, God proves faithful—providing bread from the tabernacle and the sword of Goliath. This passage shows us more than historical narrative. It reveals a pattern: God...

"Is justification by faith really that serious? According to Paul—it’s everything. In Galatians 5, Paul makes a startling claim: if you accept circumcision as necessary for justification, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all. Why such strong language? Because this is not about one isolated decision—it’s about first principles. This sermon unpacks how seemingly small actions can signal a...

"What does it really mean to follow Christ as King? In 1 Samuel 20, we see one of the clearest Old Testament pictures of true commitment to the Lord’s Anointed. Jonathan is faced with a decisive question: will he cling to his own future, his family, and his place in the kingdom—or will he submit to God’s chosen king, even at great personal cost? This sermon explores how Jonathan’s loyalty to...

"Are you truly free—or still living as a slave? In Galatians 4:21–5:1, Paul confronts one of the most important issues in the Christian life: justification by faith alone. Using the account of Hagar and Sarah, he draws a sharp line between two ways of relating to God—one that leads to slavery, and one that leads to true freedom. 👉 The central truth: The church holding to justification by fai...

Sermon from Michael Grasso.

"“Do not turn back to that which is false.” In this sermon from Galatians 4:8–20, the Apostle Paul confronts a painful and dangerous reality: believers who are tempted to turn back from the gospel they once embraced. What makes this temptation so tragic is not only its theological error, but the relational destruction it leaves in its wake. Paul reminds the Galatians of who they once were—ens...

"Psalm 32 proclaims one of the greatest blessings the gospel offers: the forgiveness of sins. In this psalm, David does not speak abstractly about forgiveness, but as one who has felt the crushing weight of guilt before God—and who has experienced the profound relief that comes when sin is confessed and forgiven. This sermon explores why forgiveness is so precious by first considering the unb...

"In Galatians 4:1–7, the Apostle Paul unfolds one of the most glorious truths of the gospel: God sent His Son and His Spirit so that sinners would no longer be slaves, but sons—and heirs of all that God has promised. This sermon explores how justification by faith necessarily leads to adoption. God does not merely declare believers righteous; he declares them his own children. Everyone who is...

"In Ecclesiastes 12:9–14, Solomon brings his searching, unsettling, and deeply honest book to its decisive conclusion. After exposing the vanity of life lived “under the sun,” he leaves us with the only answer that can bear the weight of death, judgment, and meaning: fear God and keep His commandments. This final passage reminds us that Ecclesiastes does not end in despair but in clarity. The...

"In Galatians 3:26–29, the Apostle Paul brings his redemptive-historical argument to a glorious climax: all who believe in Jesus Christ are sons of God, united to Christ, and true heirs of the promises made to Abraham. In this sermon, we explore how Paul moves from defending justification by faith to unfolding its breathtaking implications. The law, which once functioned as a tutor guarding G...

"In Ecclesiastes 11:7–12:8, Solomon brings his meditation on life, meaning, and death to a powerful climax. With striking realism and poetic beauty, he confronts one truth that no one can escape: the days of darkness are coming. Youth fades, strength declines, and death draws near. Wisdom, therefore, demands that we live now in light of the end. This passage is especially directed to the young. So...

"Why was the Mosaic Law given—and what role does it play in God’s plan of salvation? In Galatians 3:19–25, the Apostle Paul answers this question directly, showing that the law was never intended to justify sinners, but to point them unmistakably to Christ. In this sermon, we examine Paul’s redemptive-historical argument that the law was “added because of transgressions” and remained in force...

"In Ecclesiastes 10:16–11:6, Solomon addresses the relationship between wisdom, leadership, diligence, and sloth, showing how personal character shapes not only individual lives but entire households, churches, and nations. His message is direct and searching: sloth, which flows from folly and self-indulgence, destroys kingdoms, while diligence, which flows from wisdom, preserves and builds w...

"What was the purpose of the Mosaic Law—and just as importantly, what was it not given to do? In Galatians 3:15–18, the Apostle Paul answers a crucial question that lies at the heart of the doctrine of justification by faith: Was the law ever meant to overturn God’s promise of salvation in Christ? In this sermon, we examine Paul’s legal and redemptive-historical argument that once God ratifie...

"In Ecclesiastes 10:1–15, Solomon continues his extended meditation on wisdom by placing it side by side with folly and showing, in concrete and practical ways, that wisdom is far better than folly. Though wisdom is often overlooked and undervalued, folly is destructive, self-harming, and ultimately impossible to hide. Building on the previous passage, Solomon reminds us that wisdom is not me...

"In Galatians 3:13–14, the Apostle Paul brings his argument for justification by faith to its Christ-centered climax. After showing that the Spirit, the Scriptures, and even the law itself testify that sinners cannot be justified by works, Paul now explains how salvation is actually accomplished: through the cursed death of Christ on the cross. This passage shows that justification by faith i...

In Ecclesiastes 9:11–18, Solomon confronts one of the great paradoxes of life under the sun: wisdom is of immeasurable value, yet it is often invisible, ignored, and forgotten. Outcomes in this world do not reliably reveal who is wise, righteous, strong, or favored. Time and chance disrupt our expectations, and even the wisest people may live and die unnoticed. Solomon begins by observing that suc...

In Galatians 3:10–12, the Apostle Paul brings his argument for justification by faith to a decisive conclusion. After appealing to the testimony of the Triune God (Christ crucified, the Father giving the Spirit, the Spirit working powerfully) and to the promises made to Abraham, Paul now shows why the law can never justify—because it can only pronounce a curse on sinners. Paul’s reasoning is caref...
