Providence Road Church – Sermons

When we try to make an identity for ourselves we won’t have freedom in Jesus, and we won’t live as faithful exiles. We are able to live as faithful exiles when we live out of the new identity that God gives us in Jesus. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

In this sermon we will see two ways people seek to be made right with God. But there is only one way that leads to a right relationship with God. Listen and hear the greatest news of what God has done to bring us into right relationship with Him. Preacher: Blake Hilgenfeld

The beginning of the year is a natural time to be self-reflective. However, this can often lead to putting the weight of the world on ourselves to change. It is important to remember that God, through our union with Christ, and empowerment by the Spirit is the source of our spiritual growth. Preacher: Kenton Brice

Rather than hearing a sermon preached like we do nearly every other Sunday throughout the year, a handful of covenant members come forward and read large portions of Scripture over us. The inspiration for doing this came from Ronnie Smith, a pastor and missionary who gave up his life so that the people of Libya and throughout North Africa would hear about, know, and love Jesus Christ.

We remember the good news of Jesus's first coming and look forward to His coming again. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

Our view and experience of God are determined by how we define and view His Love. Once we understand and believe the love He has for us in Jesus, we will be able to love others well.  Preacher: Jeremy Hager

The birth narrative of Jesus is full of people rejoicing in His coming. There is much celebration over his long-awaited arrival and now He's finally here. As followers of Jesus today, we too have reason for joy because Jesus has come, He is near to us, and He is all we need. Preacher: Jay Frymire

As believers in Jesus, we have hope in future glory and hope in present providence. As we strive to be people filled with hope on a dark day, we remember that all hope comes from Advent. Preacher: Braden Ledebur

It is through Jesus’ miraculous incarnation, sinless life, death on the cross, and resurrection that we can now say with confidence, “He himself is our peace…” Preacher: Josh Burr

In a world where our identity can often be called into question, Peter's words are timeless and the perfect reminder of who followers of Jesus truly are in Him. Because He is the Living Stone, the church of God is built upon Him and we are now seen as living stones in Him. Preacher: Jay Frymire

Peter tells us that a hunger for God starts when we've experienced and know who God is. When this happens we begin to desire more of who God is, which over time changes the kinds of things we hunger for. Once our appetite changes, we begin to experience transformation. In this sermon, Peter helps us make this a reality. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

The world does not know how to love the way God loves. But God has set apart a people, born again through His word, to display His love to one another. Preacher: Blake Hilgenfeld

One of the keys to living as exiles in our world is to live a life of holiness. However, we often don't view holiness the way the Bible does. Peter shows us how God sets us apart to be faithful exiles. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

One of the keys to living as exiles in our world is to have a hope different from the one the world offers. In this sermon, we see how God gives us this living hope. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

Peter begins his letter by reminding us that our identity is given to us by God, and all three members of the Trinity play a role. The only way we can be faithful exiles is to live out of our identity. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

In 2 Timothy 2, Paul encourages Timothy and us that while the Christian Life is not always easy, there is great hope in the gospel that we can endure well as we run the race. Preacher: Topher Noel

In this final sermon in our anxiety series, we look at Jesus's well-known teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus tells us to consider how God cares for us and what we need in the future to help us overcome anxiety. We see this care most clearly in the gospel. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

There are plenty of things in our world to be anxious about. However, things like the 24-hour news cycle and an over-saturation of information can make our anxiety an even bigger problem. In this sermon, we look at how two specific characteristics of God help us deal with our anxiety in our current world. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

Research has shown that often times when we are anxious, we turn to our phones. Not only do they not relieve our anxiety, but they keep us in a loop that draws us back in and further perpetuates our anxiety. As followers of Jesus, we consider the technological current our culture is swimming in, what the Bible says about it, and how we can have healthy relationships with both our smartphones and s...

We continue our series on anxiety by looking at how anxiety can make our relationships difficult. We look at how taking care of our own anxiety can help us love other people in emotionally pressured situations. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

Our habits are extremely important when fighting anxiety. In this sermon, we look at how we can use our Spiritual Practices (or Disciplines) to combat anxiety. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

The Bible promises that we can have peace in the midst of anxiety. However, this is often easier said than done. There is a way to pray with the gospel in mind that helps get us closer to having peace. In part two of this series, we look at our to apply the gospel specifically to anxiety. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

Anxiety is a massive issue in our world, including inside the church. What if anxiety wasn't seen as a sin, but as an opportunity to grow deeper in our knowledge and love of God? In part one of this series we look at what our first response should be to anxiety. Preacher: Jeremy Hager

Solomon finishes the book by highlighting two things: Fearing God and Keeping His Commands. In this sermon, we look at how these two things relate to living life when "all is vanity." Preacher: Jeremy Hager

In this passage, Solomon wants to give us perspective. There are things he is going to show us about the design of the world that we don’t know, and then he is going to show us things we can know. He shows us how uncertainty can push us to live with courage that is rooted in faith. Preacher: Jeremy Hager
