Saints Peter and Paul Sermons

God allows some amazing things to happen for the good news of Jesus to be proclaimed. What is that good news of Jesus? Jesus is the promised Savior who has risen from the dead! This theme is echoed over and over again in the book of Acts. And today, we hear how God enables even prisoners to preach this message to those in high authority.

We apologize for a technical difficulty we had with the audio recording in the sermon starting at minute 7:12 and lasting for the remainder. If the remainder is too hard to understand, a transcript has been included as an attachment. ----How do you say goodbye to people? Do you take the opportunity to turn each goodbye into a blessing? In Acts 20, Paul has to say goodbye to some beloved friends fr...

In Acts 17, Paul stands before a group of willing listeners who know nothing about Jesus and is invited to speak to them. If you were afforded the same opportunity, would you know what to say? Where would you start? How would you tell about the hope you have in Jesus? What would you say?

As we get into chapters 10-14 in this 3rd week of our Acts sermon series, we read stories of Peter and Paul as they reach unbelievers in different areas. Peter mostly stays near Jerusalem. Paul and Barnabas go to many different cities. This sermon challenges us, in our present context, to consider how we are doing at following Christ's Acts 1:8 command to be witnesses of the resurrection loca...

There are real threats to Christians. There are external threats that come from others who seek to persecute us and potentially even put us to death. And there are internal threats, as our own selfish, prideful sin does battle with the life Christ has called us to. In all of this, the resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us victory to overcome and live boldly in His name! This sermon examines the de...

This begins a sermon series on the Book of Acts. At the beginning of the Book of Acts we watch the 11 remaining disciples replace Judas through casting lots. This sermon introduces us to the (new) 12 apostles so that we can get to know them before we watch them carry out the the commands of Jesus Christ against all the odds.

Being a follower of Jesus is not just about knowing who He is. It's not simply about considering ourselves disciples of His. But, if we believe that He is the Christ, and that we are His disciples, then we have the opportunity to call Jesus our Lord. Jesus is not looking to be Lord over 50% of our lives or 75% of our responsibilities. He is offering to be Lord of 100% of our lives. And this,...

In this second sermon of a 4 part series, we ask the questions, "What's a Disciple? Am I One?" By looking at the Scriptures Genesis 15:1-6, Galatians 3:1-9, and John 8:31-38, we a reminded that it is through faith in Jesus Christ that we are free to follow him.

God is an active God. His work is to seek and to save the lost through Jesus! He is active in your life by the power of the Holy Spirit to bring the good news to the world. Will you join him? This sermon deals with some of the main reasons Christians are hesitant to share Jesus with unbelievers, and also offers some practical tips of how to do it.

David had it all, and yet he wanted more. In this part of the story, we see the man David fall from the top as he falls into temptation seeking Bathsheba. It's a kind of story that we've seen time and time again. In this sermon we look at some of the reasons stories like this continue to resurface even in 21st century America. And, yet, above it all, we are reminded once and again that t...

After David killed Goliath, he didn't become king right away. As a matter of fact, he had to go on the run from a jealous King Saul who wanted him dead. This part of the story is filled with drama and excitement. What we see, ultimately, in the character of David is a man who seeks after the heart of God.

David was called by God and anointed to be the next king prior to his defeat over Goliath. When God placed a call on David's life, he called him for a life of purpose. David's purpose was not just to defeat Goliath. God had much more in store for him. This sermon is the first in a 3 week series that will survey the Life of David.

This is the final sermon in this six week series on Psalms. In Psalm 150, we learn what "hallelujah" means and talk about why there's so much singing in church.

God's love is eternal, steadfast, and lasts forever. And all of that love is also intimately involved in every moment of your life. This day is one that God has created for you. Rejoice and be glad in it!

How do you picture Jesus in your mind? Is he soft, kind, and gentle? Or, is he strong, mighty, and powerful? Psalm 110 is a prophecy about the kind of King that Jesus is. Watch/listen to this to hear all about it!

Don't you just feel like telling God how you really feel? That you're disappointed. Frustrated. Even angry? Well you're not alone, that's what Lament Psalms are all about. Psalm 44 is a Lament Psalm. The second half of this sermon is an update from Greg Holz, a missionary in Cambodia, and college friend of Pastor Aaron's.

Psalm 23, one of the most beloved Psalms, is a rich reminder to us of the eternal protection and provisions provided to us by our almighty God.

Psalm 1 serves an introduction to the book of Psalms. Here we learn what the life of someone who is faithful to God looks like.

This sermon sticks close to the Biblical text in Peter's Pentecost sermon from Acts 2. In which he clearly speaks about the work of the Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This all culminates in the death, resurrection, and return of Jesus Christ to put an end to evil and undo death.

What is the work of the Holy Spirit? The disciples found out first hand on the Day of Pentecost and you can as well.
