Risen Life Church Utah Sermons

We continue studying 1 Peter, and what a blessing it has been. It has challenged us to respond to God’s exhortations, and it undoubtedly continues to sanctify us to live according to His purpose for our lives individually, and as a Church corporately. We will see the blessing we have with our hope in Christ; the One who sustains us in the midst of any difficulty and who, through His suffering and...

Join us as our College Minister Ben Sutton continues our series in 1 Peter as we look at Gospel Living.

This week we will continue in our 1 Peter series, Firm in the Faith, looking at 1 Peter 2:11-25. Now this is an interesting passage to consider on a weekend where we celebrate our freedom. Peter is going to call us in our new found freedom in Christ to submit ourselves to Jesus and every human institution, because all authority in this world comes from God. Furthermore he will call us to be ok wit...

This Sunday we will dive back into 1 Peter and think about what it means to be Firm in the Faith again. Together, we will look at 1 Peter 2:4-12. Here Peter gives us important imagery for God’s people, the church. He shows us how we are all being built into a spiritual house for God. No physical temple needed anymore. God’s people will be God’s new temple, and Jesus is the cornerstone. Jesus as th...

Today we will be continuing in our series, Firm in The Faith, in 1 Peter. We will take a look at 1 Peter 1:13-2:3 tomorrow. In light of everything that Peter has said about our salvation in the first twelve verses of chapter 1, he will call us to set our hope fully on the grace that is to come when Jesus returns. Peter wants us in to live like we believe the Gospel. He will give us several very pr...

This Sunday we will be starting a new series in 1 Peter which we are calling Firm in the Faith. Peter is writing to Christians spread across the world to encourage them to continue to hope in God and the salvation he has accomplished in Christ. Life in our world is difficult, and we see and experience tremendous amounts of suffering daily, but this should not lead us to despair or abandon our fait...

This will be the last sermon in our series on The Church. Jeremiah Johnston will be preaching from Hebrews 10:23-25. In these verses the author of Hebrews encourages us as the church to not neglect meeting together, but to meet regularly as the body of Christ to encourage one another as we wait for Christ’s return. In addition, the author of Hebrews encourages us as the church to consider how we c...

Today we will continue our church series as we look at John 13:34-35 – The Church: Known For Love. These two verses are Jesus’ new command to the disciples–that his new society of believers, the church, will be known for the love that it has between its members. Furthermore, it will be this love that will be a witness to the world. This love will be defined by the love Jesus showed his disciples,...

This Sunday as we think more about the church we will consider how God has uniquely called and gifted believers, that make up the body of Christ, to serve in the church. As we use our gifts the church grows in maturity and advances the kingdom of God. It is imperative that each one of us find our place in the church to use our giftings. Some giftings are very practical and others are more miraculo...

This Sunday we will be diving deeper into our look at the Church and talk about one of the primary purposes it serves in the life of believers. God places us as believers in the church so that we can grow up into maturity in Christ. Ephesians 4:10-16 tells us how God has designed the church to be an incubator for Christian growth. God has given the good gift of leadership to the church to help tra...

This Sunday we will be continuing in our Church Series looking at - The Church: A New Society. What Jesus is doing in the church is recreating a new society of people that are in relationship with God the Father. They come out of the world and begin to grown into a gathering where God’s Spirit dwells. The Bible gives us several metaphors for the new society of the Church. It calls it a household,...

This Sunday we will begin a new series on the Church. The Church is God’s best plan to declare the truth of the Gospel to the whole world so that salvation can be found in Christ. It is easy today to misunderstand the purpose of the Church, its mission, and our place it in, but it has been and is essential to God’s plan to advance his kingdom on Earth. Over the next six weeks we will look at and c...

Join us as Pastor Sean teaches us about Thomas the Disciple and how God uses his doubt in order to bring about his proclomation of Jesus as Lord.

This Sunday we will continue in our sermon series “Experiencing the Cross” and consider Mary Magdalene’s experience of the resurrection in John 20:1-18. Mary experiences the sorrow, confusion, and pain of losing the one that healed her of seven demons, the one she walked with for years, and her mentor and teacher that had given her hope. Her sorrow and confusion will be replaced with great Joy as...

This week we will consider the Roman Centurion and his Experience of the Cross this week out of Matthew 27:45-54. This unnamed Centurion likely witnessed much of Jesus’ sham trial, may have participated in mocking him, and seems to be entrusted with overseeing Christ’s crucifixion all the way to the end. But another surprising event occurs. This Roman soldier, after witnessing the events of the da...

Join us as Jon Perkins shares with us as we look at how the Apostle Peter experienced the cross. Peter is all in with Jesus, but when things get difficult, he quickly denies he ever knew Jesus. Jesus ultimately in his grace and mercy will forgive, restore, and commission Peter. Peter’s story and experience of the cross is one we can all relate to and teaches us a lot about the Gospel.

Pilate is an interesting character in the Gospels. Pilate gets a couple first hand interviews with Jesus, but unfortunately is too concerned with his own life, career, and managing the “Jesus Situation” to truly see the king of the universe standing before him. Jesus reveals himself to Pilate in so many ways, and yet Pilate misses Jesus. Pilate is a great example for us as we live our modern lives...

Join us as our College and Young Adults Minister Ben Sutton brings us a message on Barabbas and his view of the crucifiction of Jesus.

Join us as Pastor Jared concludes our series in Revaltion as we look at the final chapter in Revelation and what we have to look forward to Jesus' return.

Join us as Pastor Jared continues our series in Revaltion as we look at The New Heavens and the New Earth.

Join us as we hear from one of our elders, Dr Mike Kirby, as we continue our study of the book of Revelation and look at Chapter 20 and The Millennial Reign of Christ.

Today's sermon is on Revelation 19:6-21. In these verses the multitude of the redeemed saints are celebrating God’s reign over all things and that the marriage feast of the Lamb that has finally come. We will look at the theme of marriage in the Bible and what it teaches us about the Gospel. We will also consider what it takes to be a participant in this great party at the end of the world.

This week we will continue our study in Revelation looking at Revelation 17-19:5. This really is a zoom in on the seventh bowl and God’s wrath on those that oppose him in the world. The world in these chapters is likened to the ancient city Babylon. Babylon is then pictured as a beautiful and rich prostitute that, empowered by Satan, has deceived the whole world with her wares. God is coming in ju...

As the nation readies itself for the yearly battle between two of the best NFL teams tomorrow, we will be preparing ourselves for the final battle that will occur between God and the world. Revelation 15-16 gives us a glimpse of the final battle that Satan and the world are preparing to wage against God. No need to worry for believers, God will win and already has. God will put down this final reb...

This Sunday we will dive into Revelation 14 which shows us what will be the end of believers and unbelievers when Jesus returns. This is the first passage in Revelation that shows us Jesus returning to the earth and what will happen as He does so. Believers will be kept secure in the new city of God singing praises to the Father and the Son about their work of salvation in their lives. Unbelievers...
