Sleater Kinney Road Baptist Church

How do you share the Gospel with friends and family who have questions? How should you present the Gospel? What do you do? Today, we'll learn about how to do a 15-minute evangelistic bible study using the "Two Ways to Live" bible study pamphlet. This isn't about presenting the Gospel to strangers--it's about how to do a short bible study with people who are interested in the...

Jesus didn't pop into being on Christmas morning--He's always been around. God the Son has eternally existed, and He's always planned to come here to rescue us. Here, the prophet Isaiah records a message from Jesus from about 700 BC promising that one day He'd set things right. Pastor Tyler preaches from Isaiah 51-52:11.

On the afternoon of 13 July 2024, a crazed gunman shot and injured former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. What should Christians think about America's recurring problem with political violence? What can Christians do about it? Too many Americans (and far too many Christians) worship politics. We all soak in media that convinces us that elections are the most important thing...

After explaining how badly the Israelites had failed to hold fast and be a light for God, the prophet Isaiah gives us a beautiful picture of the better tomorrow. Someone has to come and set things right and lead God's people, or else the promises throughout scripture just won't happen. Jesus is that Someone. Pastor Tyler preaches from Isaiah 11-12.

Sleater Kinney Road Baptist - June 30th, 2024

Jesus gave the church simple instructions. But, even well-meaning churches often don't follow them. This isn't good. But, fixing it is easy. Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 28:19-20. Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/ Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJgl YouTube: https://bit.ly/3f3PeDA Website: https://skrbc.org/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/33o2yQH​​ Instagram: https://www.instagra...

God has a single plan for the world, which He's fulfilling through Israel. More specifically, through Jesus---the true Son of Abraham (Mt 1:1). One big lesson from God's story is that we need a divine intervention from above, because no promise alone is enough to get us to love God the way we ought to. Here, in this famous passage from the prophet Isaiah, we see how the people of Israel&#3...

Gods designed us for community. This is true specifically in our christian walk, as we grow together pointing each other to the Lord. Our guest speaker. Pastor Jamie Mead, preaches from Galatians 6:1-5.

June is Pride Month in the USA, and everywhere you go sexual and gender confusion will be celebrated in our society. This is why we need God to (a) remind us what He says about these issues, and (b) to help us think the right way about this. The "LGBTQ" umbrella shelters many groups. Today, we'll think about homosexuality. This is a sin with which some people struggle—including untol...

If you're in a relationship with someone, you want to know the person. Well, if Christians are God's adopted children, then we ought to want to really know Him as He is---and scripture says He's triune. Today, we'll briefly explain what it means that God is triune, and then we survey a host of passages from the Old and New Testaments so we can "see" it in the bible. As wi...

Today marks another very important event in the Christian story--Jesus' ascension. The scriptures tell us that Jesus appeared to His disciples many times over the course of 40 days before going back to heaven (Acts 1:3). The closest Sunday to 40 days after Easter is ... today! But, what does the Ascension mean? Why does it matter? Who cares? What is Jesus doing right now? Pastor Tyler preaches...

We're beginning a series explaining what Jesus meant when He told the two sad believers headed to Emmaus, "everything must be fulfilled that was written about me ..." (Lk 24:44). We're going to look at some of what Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Malachi said, and how Jesus fulfills all of it. To do that, we first must step back and ask ourselves "what is the Christia...

As the Apostle Paul wraps up his long letter to the church at Rome, he paints a picture of a loving, caring, and involved congregation. We can learn and draw encouragement from this. Pastor Tyler preaches from Romans 16.

The Apostle Paul had finished both his grand discussion of doctrine, and his suggestions for their impact on everyday Christian life. Now, he begins to wind up his letter. As he explains his future plans, we see an example of what it looks like to be joyful in serving God. Is that how we are? Unlike Paul, we may not have plans to bring the Gospel to Spain, but can we learn from his joy and zeal as...

There's a difference between personal preference and biblical truth. Sometimes it's hard to know what that difference is. Christians have always struggled to know where the line is. And, because we're each different people with different backgrounds and different baggage, we often have very different opinions about how strict or how loose we ought to be. Should Christians drink alcohol...

Christians across the world celebrate the Last Supper on the Thursday right before Good Friday. They do it because it was here that Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper, or Communion, that marked the New Covenant. Christians from more liturgical traditions call this Maundy Thursday. Our church takes the Sunday right after Easter to celebrate the New Covenant and talk about what it means. Jesus s...

When Jesus rose from the dead, He broke Satan's power over us. This is why He offers to rescue anyone who wishes to come to Him with a repentant heart, and a humble spirit. This is what Easter is about--Jesus defeating Satan for us, in our place, as our substitute. The Book of Hebrews helps explain. Pastor Tyler preaches from Hebrews 2:5-18.

We remember and celebrate Christ's death to rescue us from our sins. A joint service between SKRBC and First Baptist Church of Tumwater.

The apostle Paul circles back to the idea of brotherly love. Why is it so important to him? Because Jesus is returning soon. Pastor Tyler preaches from Romans 13:8-14.

For at least three generations, since the mid-1970s, many Americans have wrongly made politics an important part of their faith. Some favor the Democrats, others the Republicans. Some American Christians are very suspicious of the government---even openly despising State and Federal elected officials. The apostle Paul says no. Pastor Tyler preaches from Romans 13:1-7. Gospel: https://twowaystolive...

Christians must love one another, because Christ loves us. So far, so good. But, what does this mean for boring, normal, everyday life? Pastor Tyler preaches from Romans 12:9-21. Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/ Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJgl YouTube: https://bit.ly/3f3PeDA Website: https://skrbc.org/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/33o2yQH​​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skrbc_med...

The title of the sermon says it all! Because Christianity isn't a low-maintenance commitment, God demands that our relationship with Him, through Jesus Christ, transforms every area of our life. So, the apostle Paul turns to our relationships with other people. Pastor Tyler preaches from Romans 12:3-8. Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/ Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJgl YouTube: htt...

In our passage, the apostle Paul switches subjects away from the people of Israel and to the practical realities of life as a Christian. He writes: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind," (Rom 12:2). What does this mean? Pastor Tyler preaches from Romans 12:1-2. Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/ Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi...

Something strange and otherworldly happened one day in the foothills Mt. Hermon. As Jesus prayed with three of His closest followers, "the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning," (Lk 9:29). Then God Himself appears on the mountain, envelops then all in a cloud, and speaks a very specific message to those three Christians ... and to us. C...

Either God is trying really hard to make something work, or He directs and controls reality. The scriptures tell us the second option is the right one. But, how does this work? Resources: 1.
