Quarry Church Sermons

What if the places that seem small or forgotten matter deeply to God? In   Acts 14 , Paul and Barnabas travel through towns most people have never heard of. They face opposition, rejection, and even persecution, yet they keep sharing the gospel because they know one truth: The same awesome Savior is at work everywhere. Whether you’re walking through hardship, looking for purpose, or wondering if G...

The Gospel Goes to the Nations Acts 13:1-12 | Pastor Bryan | June 28, 2026 What happens when a church listens to the Holy Spirit? In Acts 13, the church in Antioch worships, fasts, prays, and sends. Barnabas and Saul are set apart for the work of taking the gospel beyond familiar places and into the nations. This message reminds us that the gospel was never meant to stay still. God calls his peopl...

What does a godly man look like? On Father’s Day, we step into the story of Stephen, one of the first servants of the early church, to discover the qualities that marked his life and made a lasting impact for the kingdom of God. In Acts 6 and 7, Stephen wasn’t known for power, wealth, or influence. He was known for his character, his willingness to serve, his bold witness for Christ, and his unwav...

Everyone Who Believes in Him | Acts 10:1-48 What if the biggest obstacle to the gospel isn’t someone else’s resistance, but our assumptions? In Acts 10, God gives Peter a vision that changes everything. The gospel is no longer confined by ethnic, cultural, or social boundaries. Through the story of Cornelius and Peter, we see a powerful truth: God shows no favoritism, and everyone who believes in...

Jesus still brings dead things to life. In this message from Acts 9, Pastor Bryan walks through two healing stories that remind us God cares about broken people, ordinary cities, and the miracle of new life in Christ. In this sermon: Why healthy churches grow in peace and strength How Jesus healed Aeneas through Peter Why small acts of obedience matter How Tabitha’s life blessed her whole communit...

Jesus can turn any life around. In this message from Acts 9, Pastor Bryan walks through Saul’s encounter with the risen Jesus and shows how God can turn a persecutor into a preacher. In this sermon: Why nobody is too far gone for Jesus How God interrupts Saul’s rebellion Why repentance means a full turnaround How Ananias obeyed a hard assignment Why community matters after conversion What Saul’s s...

Jesus was the plan all along.  In this message from Acts 8, Matt Chandler walks through Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch and shows how the Holy Spirit leads ordinary believers into gospel opportunities.  In this sermon:   Why Jesus was always God’s plan How the Holy Spirit led Philip to one person Why Isaiah 53 points straight to the cross How the gospel crosses every boundary Why dela...

For Mother's Day, we stayed in Acts but skipped ahead to chapter 16 to look at the story of Lydia.  What kind of impact can one faithful woman make? In this sermon, Pastor Bryan walks through Acts 16 and the story of Lydia, a godly woman whose open heart and open home helped launch the church in Philippi. In this sermon: Why Lydia positioned herself to hear from God How the Lord opened her heart t...

Note:   We did not have livestream video this week, so this message is audio-only. The audio is a little rough in places, but we hope it still encourages you. Jesus is worth our obedience. In   Acts 5 , the apostles are arrested, freed by an angel, and sent right back to preach the message that got them in trouble. They obey anyway. In this message, Pastor Bryan walks through   Acts 5:17–42   and...

Boldness doesn’t come from personality. It comes from the Spirit. In   Acts 4 , Peter and John face real pressure. Arrested, questioned, and threatened by the same leaders who crucified Jesus, they respond with courage that doesn’t make sense on paper. Why? Because they had been with Jesus. In this message, Pastor Bryan walks through   Acts 4:1–31   and shows how boldness is not something we manuf...

The Spirit has come, and nothing stays the same.  In Acts 2, we see the arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the beginning of the church’s bold public witness. What happened in Jerusalem that day was not random. It was the fulfillment of God’s plan, the promise of Jesus, and the moment the Gospel began moving forward in power.  In this message, Steve Maharrey walks through Acts 2:1-21, 37-4...

The mission of Jesus didn’t end at the resurrection. It moved forward. In this opening message from the book of Acts, we see what happened next. Before the disciples were sent out, they were told to wait. Not for a plan. Not for clarity. But for power. In Acts 1, Jesus promises the Holy Spirit and calls His followers to become His witnesses. From Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, the gospel was...

He is risen indeed. On Easter Sunday at Quarry Church, we opened John 20 and looked at the moment that changed everything. The tomb was empty. Death was defeated. And because Jesus rose, real life is available to everyone who believes in His name. In this message, Pastor Bryan walks through the stories of Mary Magdalene, Peter, John, Thomas, and the disciples to show how the resurrection did more...

The King came… but not how they expected. On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus like a conquering king. But within days, everything would change. In “The King Who Came To Die…”, we see a Savior who didn’t come to take power, but to give His life. And that changes how we follow Him today. In this sermon: • The triumphal entry and why the crowd missed it • How expectations of Jesus can blind us t...

Confidence starts with Christ. In the final message of our 1 John series, “Confidence in Christ,” we’re reminded that faith in Jesus doesn’t just save us. It anchors us. It gives us assurance, shapes how we love, and keeps us steady in a world full of distractions. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, struggled with obedience, or felt pulled in too many directions, this message brings clarity back...

Perfect love drives out fear. In “Fearless Love,” Pastor Bryan walks through 1 John 4:7-21 and shows how God doesn’t just have love. God is love. This message points us back to the cross, reminds us that love begins with God, and calls us to let His love shape the way we live, forgive, and love one another. If fear, bitterness, or distance has been taking up too much room in your heart, this sermo...

Not every voice deserves your trust. When voices compete for your attention, how do you know which ones are leading you toward Jesus and which ones are pulling you away? In this message from 1 John 4:1-6, Pastor Bryan teaches us how to test the spirits, recognize the difference between truth and deception, and stay grounded in the power of Christ. In a world full of noise, believers are called to...

What does real Christian love look like when it hits the ground in everyday life? In “Love That Shows” from 1 John 3:11–24, Pastor Bryan contrasts two paths—the way of Cain (selfishness, bitterness, hatred) and the way of Jesus (sacrifice, obedience, love in action). This passage doesn’t let us settle for love that’s only talked about. John calls the church to love that shows up—with hands, with c...

What does it really mean to be marked by God? In this message from 1 John 2:28–3:10, Pastor Bryan walks us through one of the clearest identity passages in the New Testament. If you belong to Jesus, you’re not just forgiven—you’re called a child of God. John challenges us to live in light of that identity. In this sermon: • What it means to abide in Christ with confidence • The staggering truth: “...

We live in the age of distraction—and John warns us about one of the most dangerous distractions of all: the world’s system that pulls our hearts away from God. In this message from 1 John 2:15–27, Pastor Bryan calls us to an “untangled” heart: not captivated by what’s passing away, not deceived by false teaching, but anchored in Jesus and led by the Holy Spirit. In this sermon: • What John means...

What does real love for God actually look like in everyday life? In this message from 1 John 2:1–14, Pastor Bryan Alderman calls us to a faith that shows—a love that fights sin, clings to Jesus, obeys His word, and loves others the way Christ has loved us. John speaks to believers living in a noisy, exhausting world with a message that’s both convicting and hopeful. We’re called to actively oppose...

What does it really mean to follow Jesus—not just on Sundays, but Monday through Saturday? In this message, Pastor Bryan Alderman kicks off our new series through 1 John with a call to life in the light: a real, honest, joy-filled walk with Jesus marked by fellowship, confession, and cleansing. In 1 John 1, we’re reminded that Jesus isn’t just meant to be believed—He’s meant to be experienced. Joh...

The gospel doesn’t just inform us — it demands a response. In the final message of “Forward with the Gospel,” Pastor Bryan walks through Romans 10:9–15 and challenges us to consider what we do with the good news we’ve heard. God has spoken. Christ has come. Salvation is available. Now the question is: how will we respond? Message highlights: • The gospel only changes lives when it’s responded to....

The gospel isn’t about what we do for God — it’s about what Jesus has done for us. In Week 3 of “Forward with the Gospel,” Pastor Bryan walks through Romans 5:6–11 to show us the center of the gospel message: Christ. When we were helpless, ungodly, and far from God, Jesus stepped in to do what we could never do for ourselves. Message highlights: • Christ came for us at our worst, not our best. • J...

Sin isn’t just something “out there.” Scripture says it runs through every human heart. In Week 2 of “Forward with the Gospel,” Pastor Bryan walks through Romans 3:9–23 to show us the hard but necessary truth about humanity — and why grace is our only hope. Message highlights: • There is no spiritual advantage before God. Every person stands guilty. • Sin traps us deeper than effort or morality ca...
