Saint Joseph Church of Christ Sermons

The resurrection isn’t a myth. It’s the single greatest event in history — the turning point of eternity. Crucified. Buried. Risen. Witnessed. The grave couldn’t hold Him — and your sins can’t either when you trust in Him. The resurrection demands a response. It’s not just a story. It’s not just history. It’s life. He’s not buried. He’s not forgotten. He is RISEN. He is Worthy of it ALL.

What does it truly mean to be saved? On this Good Friday, Pastor Ryan Rosser takes us deep into the heart of the gospel—the cost of sin, the justice of God, and the incredible grace offered through Jesus Christ. This powerful message explores the separation sin causes, the necessity of atonement, and the eternal gift found in Christ alone. Whether you’re questioning faith, curious about salvation,...

Pastor Ryan walks us through the emotional and spiritual weight of denial—denial of truth, of relationship, of identity, and ultimately of Christ Himself. We explore the moments leading up to Jesus’ arrest, the betrayal by Judas, Peter’s heart-wrenching denial, and the mock trials that questioned the very sovereignty of the Son of God. Through it all, we’re reminded that Jesus did not deny us. He...

Dive into the events leading to Jesus’ crucifixion—where love, betrayal, and obedience collide. As Jesus entered Jerusalem, he was met with both praise and opposition. His actions in the temple challenged the religious leaders, whose fear of losing power led them to plot against him. Two preparations unfold: • Judas —influenced by Satan—plots betrayal. • Jesus —prepares to be the ultimate sacrific...

In this week’s sermon, Allen Parrish from the elder team explores the importance of staying focused on Jesus, especially as we approach Easter. Using Luke 20:27-40, he discusses how the religious leaders of Jesus’ time lost sight of who He truly was—and how we can avoid the same mistake in our own walk with Christ. Through examples of faith, distractions, and the power of daily devotion, this mess...

As Jesus rode the colt toward Jerusalem, His disciples placed their garments on the colt's back and on the road. They submitted their covering to Christ, preferring His covering over their own. What do you do with your covering?

Get out of the crowd, above the canopy, to seek the man, Jesus, who is already looking for you. Seek the Lord. Be saved by the Lord. Serve the Lord in His kingdom, engaging in His business.

Dive into Jesus’ powerful parables from Luke 15-16, exploring what it means to be both sinners and saints. Through the stories of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son, we see the heart of God—one that seeks, rescues, and rejoices over the lost who are found.

Explore the profound teachings of Jesus regarding being the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world," as found in Matthew 5:13-16 and Luke 14. These metaphors challenge us to examine the authenticity and purity of our faith. Salt, in the first century, was not just a seasoning but a vital preservative, symbolizing the preservation of faith and hope. However, salt can lose its effectiveness...

Matt Shamp shares a great message on intentional discipleship, standing for Jesus, and fully trusting Him with our lives. Jesus take the wheel!

When Jesus would have entered Martha's home, He would've entered with peace. That He entered and remained implies that Martha was a woman of peace, accepting His peace. But she quickly became distracted by tasks, producing striving, accusations, anxiety, and anger. As disciples, what we do, we do with Jesus and for Jesus. There's hope, though. God restored Martha, He didn't abandon her. He does th...

Jesus calls each of us to be disciples; to follow Him with abandon, sharing news of the kingdom of God. As disciples, we're presented with a choice. Will we be common disciples of culture and ritual, or radical disciples of Christ and redemption?

Jesus instructs us to pick up our cross daily. This is more than light burdens, but is dying to ourselves to His glory, revealing hope in life eternal. Join Garren Holt as he rounds out our series of messages through Jesus' ministry around Galilee.

Through the lens of Luke 7:36-50, be challenged to consider how different our world would be if Christians would confront our indifference to the love of God; if we'd just confront our concerns wielding faith, hope, love, and humility rather than pride, selfishness, fear, and indifference.

Jesus began his ministry around Galilee following his time in the wilderness being tempted by Satan. There, Satan challenged Jesus as the Son of God. Jesus stood the test, placing confident hope in the Father. We, too, can have confident hope because Jesus is who he says he is.

Jesus was resolved to spend time in His Father's house. His parents resolved to find Him. Are you resolved to search for Jesus in His Father's house?

The shepherds proclaimed wonder of the promise revealed to them by the heavenly host. We're called to do the same. Go. Tell it on the mountain.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the House of Bread. He is the Bread of Life and the Bread of the Presence, Immanuel. We take the fulfillment of His promise with us when we take communion, sitting at the table with Him.

Mary bore the hope of the world in her womb through the Holy Spirit. Though she questioned how it could be possible, she did not question whether God's power could fulfill His promise. God's given promises are promises to believe.

God will always make a way for His promises to be fulfilled and for our eyes to be opened to His glory. He is the Way Maker. Jesus is the Way. John the Baptist was the Way Preparer, and we are the Way Walkers. Will you accept His promise and step onto the way of peace?

Our series "Keeping Revelation" concludes with a deep encouragement to engage with the revelation of Jesus Christ, opening our hearts and minds to the reality of hope, restoration, and redemption.

Yes, wrath is coming. But before God's wrath, there is God's love. And His love comes after His wrath, as well. Jesus Christ is coming. Don't wait until He arrives to bend your knee, to submit your life to Him, and to hold on to His holy name. Accept His free gift of salvation!

There is a reason for God's wrath. It's rebellion - rebellion that defiles and defames His love, compassion, and great patience. Rebellion started with Satan, but our rebellion is no different. God's wrath is being stored up. Eventually it will also be poured out, conquering rebellion and sin.

Pastor Mark shares the wonder of God's throne room and connects it to deeper symbolism throughout the Old Testament.

The seven letters to the seven churches concludes with Jesus' words to Laodicea, a church that reflected the city's culture rather than zealous pursuit of Jesus. The letter reveals evidences & fruits of cultural Christianity, as well as, Jesus' remedy to spur them on to zeal unless they choose to remain lukewarm.
