Sermons - ZION BK

This week we celebrate five years as a church! We want to acknowledge all that God has done and refocus on what God has called us to be. Join us in-person or online as we look ahead to what’s next for ZION!

This week we continue our sermon series entitled, Kingdom Come: An Advent Series of Psalms. Last week we established that the Christian idea of hope is not wishful thinking but a sure expectation. Expectation is what fuels our faith in God who will eventually establish a kingdom where peace abounds and the righteous flourish. So, how does this anticipation change the way we live? How can our lives...

This week we begin a new series entitled, Kingdom Come: An Advent Series of Psalms! We are kicking off this four week series by focusing on the importance of placing our hope in God alone. The Christian idea of hope is not wishful thinking but a sure expectation. Follow along with us as we celebrate and anticipate the coming of Jesus, both in His incarnation and His second coming.

This week, Habakkuk comes to a powerful conclusion. He gives us a potent example of what it means for the righteous to live by faith. Don't miss this week as we bring this series and book to a close!

In this passage, we find Habakkuk finished with his complaint but his situation hasn’t changed. In times of suffering, we should approach God in reverence and trust because he is sovereign, just and full of mercy. Listen in to learn about God’s merciful ways towards his people.

In this passage, Habakkuk, understanding only part of the picture, continues questioning God’s wisdom. God graciously answers him, demonstrating definitively that His justice will always prevail. Listen in to learn how nothing, no matter how unfair it may seem, escapes God’s notice and intervention.

When God calls us to wait on Him for the answer/promise, He also calls us to look to Him for faith and strength until it is fulfilled. In the waiting, the trouble, circumstances, feelings of disappointment may not change, but our perspective and where we go with those things does change. God is not blind to what is happening around or within us, He is asking us to trust that He will work it all ou...

The message of Habakkuk 1:12-2:1 addresses the Christian's struggle in understanding God. Many times our knowledge of Him will help us to make sense of our circumstances; but many times God will not make sense to us at all. God has enough grace to accept us in our emotion and frustration with Him. Don’t miss out on this timeless topic. Listen in to learn more.

The message of Habakkuk 1:5-11 confronts our views of how God works and challenges us to trust Him even when our circumstances are terrible. The purpose of this passage is to ensure that our confidence is solely in God for our good and His glory. Don’t miss out on this timeless topic. Listen in to learn more.

Have you ever been confused and wanted to complain about what was happening around you? This week we dive into a new series in the book of Habakkuk in which Habakkuk has some very transparent conversations with God about how he is feeling. We start off with him asking two questions we often find ourselves asking in hard times: 'Why?' and 'How long?'

When we started ZION, we felt there was a type of church the city needed. Almost five years later, we are more convinced than ever that still holds true. This week, we are going to unpack what we believe is the type of church the city needs, and in turn, what church we are called to be together.

Special guest, Pastor John Welborn, shares how the Bible displays and describes seven "marks" of a disciple of Jesus Christ. One of those marks is that every disciple is on a life-long journey of spiritual growth. In this message, we study Scriptural commands related to growth, as well as an example found in the life of the Apostle Peter. We will discover that this growth is fueled by the power of...

This week we’re concluding our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John. John closes his letter to the church with encouragement and admonishment. As believers, we can have confidence in our relationship with our heavenly Father and His gift of eternal life, but we are warned to stand against idolatry. What does that mean for us today? Listen in to learn more!

This week we’re continuing with part thirteen of our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John.

In John's culminating argument, he ties together everything he has been talking about, belief, love, and obedience, and brings them together to show an overcoming Christian. The victorious Christian life is one often sought after, but often misunderstood in our culture. Tune in to see what it means to walk in victory.

This week we’re continuing with part eleven of our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John. John’s message to the original hearers and us, as present-day disciples of Christ, is this: confession of Jesus Christ as the Son of God invites the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in our lives. As we abide in God and He in us, His love grounds us, freeing us from fear and empowering...

This week we’re continuing with part ten of our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John. In this text, we learn that love is made manifest through the completed work of Jesus Christ. It is only in Him that we can love others and make His love known to those around us. Love for people is a reflection of God, because God is love!

This week we’re continuing with part nine of our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John. John asserts that we have the assurance of our faith and place in God, because we have been sealed by the Holy Spirit. So, even when we are surrounded by lies, doubt, and false teaching, God gives us the power to overcome and discern the truth. Listen in and let the truth set you fre...

This week we’re continuing with part eight of our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John.

This week we’re continuing with part seven of our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John.

This week we’re continuing with part six of our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John.

John called them children of the devil. So, how can we tell the difference today? Tune in to find out!

This week we’re continuing with part five of our sermon series entitled, Real Love, by studying the book of I John. In this passage, John reminds the early church to stand firm in the truth of who Jesus is and be on guard against the schemes of the enemy to present him as anything else.

Anger is something we all experience, but did you know the Bible has a lot to say about this emotion? Though it can be healthy, there are three forms of anger that are sinful, and from which we need to heal. And there has never been a better time as a city and society to talk about this topic! You don’t want to miss this! Listen in to learn more.
