Sunday Sermons

Matthew 5:13-16. Christians do good works in the world around us because we want others to be blessed by those good deeds, to consider why we would do what we do, and turn to look at God.

Acts 2:42-27. The Lord’s church is “undenominational”, meaning it knows nothing of denominations which came after it was established. It is “predenominational”. And that church still exists today if we follow the plain teaching of Scripture. Today we’re looking at the identifying marks of the church. To do so, we turn to the beginning of the church, the earliest days of the Lord’s church to see wh...

Matthew 16:18. In this series, “Jesus and His Church”, we’re going to look at different subjects related to the church. The first thing we want to examine is to see who owns the church. To whom does it belong? Why is this important for us to know? Because Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and he purchased the church with his own blood that he shed on the cross. And for that reason, we need to...

2 Corinthians 5:17. In this lesson, we look at seven spiritual resolutions for the Christian in 2025 and are encouraged to live as new creations that serve and glorify God.

Revelation 21-22. The church is called here the new city of Jerusalem, the bride of Christ. And it is brought to the new heaven and earth, which will be the new heavenly dwelling place for God's redeemed. This is where God will dwell with his people. We will see God face to face and be in his presence forever. This is the reward of heaven – to be with God.

Acts 2:1-47. When we think of “church”, we might think of where we’re going on Sunday or Wednesday. We might think about how we have to get up early to go to church on Sunday mornings instead of sleeping in. When I was a kid, I liked seeing my friends and I liked church, but I didn’t like wearing slacks, a button up shirt, dress socks and “church shoes”, and I didn’t like trying to stay awake duri...

Matthew 1:1-6. Why is Jesus so important? Why does the OT point to Jesus? How does Jesus fit into the story of the Bible? Matthew’s focus is on Jesus’ royal lineage because he so badly wanted to convince the Jewish people that Jesus from the town of Nazareth was the one the Old Testament promised and was the Christ they had been waiting for. Jesus didn’t come to get rid of the law and the prophets...

Exodus 19-20. God called the people of Israel to be a display to the world of the covenant he made with them. They were to be his holy people who lived in relationship with him. God gave laws for his people to follow so they could live set apart for him. In the same way, under the new covenant, God calls Christians to be his holy people and showcase his covenant with them. And under the new covena...

Genesis 12:1-3. Though sin has brought God’s curse on creation, he is still at work to recover his purpose of blessing for his creation, and Abraham is the way in which God will eventually accomplish this. God’s call to Abraham challenges him to leave his normal sources of identity and security. To obey God, Abraham had to completely trust God. He didn't even know where God would take him, but he...

Genesis 3:1-24. Christianity is the true story of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role we play in it, and how everything will end. We know there’s evil, pain, and suffering. And that begs the question, “Why?” Why is this world broken and decaying? We learned in Gen. 1-2 that God created everything, and in Gen. 1:31, God looked at all he created and said it was “very good”...

Genesis 1-2. Christianity is not just about how to be saved. It’s about the whole structure of reality. The faith it takes to believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and we’re saved through him is the same faith it takes to believe the opening words of the Bible. In this series, we’re starting with Creation, and we’ll end with Jesus returning to take his people to heaven for eternity. Hi...

Colossians 4:2-18. Paul wraps up this letter to the Christians in the small town of Colossae. He shares some final thoughts with them as well as greetings and remarks about some Christians who have served well. He says prayer matters, our behavior matters, and our words matter when it comes to sharing the message of our Lord with those who don't know him.

Colossians 3:1-4:1. Paul gives several descriptions of sins that we deal with. Because you have a new life in Christ and because God has cut away sin from your life in baptism, the Bible says we’re to put to death sin in our lives. We are to bring our behaviors, our words, and our thoughts in-line with our new identity. God has taken away sin in our lives, now while we remain in this earthly life,...

Colossians 2:6-23. Paul urges these Christians to walk in Christ, to be built up, to be established in their faith, and always thankful for their salvation, and not to be led astray by false teachings. Paul also explains to them that when they were baptized, the died with Christ, were raised with Christ, and were made alive with Christ.

Colossians 1:1-2:5. Paul was overjoyed at the faith of the Colossian Christians, and he wanted nothing more than for them to thrive in their walk with Jesus and not be deterred by false teachings. He wanted Jesus to be the center and the foundation of their lives. Since they believed that Jesus was Lord and Savior, Paul wanted it to be shown in their lives.

Bro. William Chen with Chinese Bible School visited to share about their great work and preached a sermon about Jesus, the Son of God, and the Son of Man, what that means, and what that means for us!

Hebrews 10:19-25. It’s one thing to start. It’s another thing to finish. How many projects have you started that you never finished? How many books did you start reading and never finish? We do that, don’t we? But we don’t want to start our walk with Jesus only to leave him later in life. The Hebrews author has given us a picture of faithfulness because of Jesus. A picture of someone who is faithf...

The Lord's church truly is a family. In this lesson, we learn about several characteristics the Bible teaches about the family of God.

Romans 5:6-8. The love of God for us is far beyond what we can truly comprehend. He has provided all things for us because of his great love for us, most of providing his Son for our salvation. Why would we not do all we could to love and serve him?

Acts 8:26-39. Every Christian has their own story to tell about how they became a Christian, but you wouldn’t have one if those people in your life hadn’t cared enough to share with you the message of Jesus. In Acts 8, Luke tells us the story of an Ethiopian man who was a worshiper of God and studied the Scripture, but needed some help to understand what he was reading. God sent Philip to help, an...

Ephesians 2:8-10. In our main text, Paul wrote saying Christians are created for good works. That raises some questions we want to look at, but basically what the Bible is saying is that God makes Christians. God makes Christians for two reasons. The first is so he can save us. God would love all people to put their faith in him and be saved. The second reason God makes Christians is so he can giv...

John 4:23-26. Worship is vital to the Christian’s life. If you want to grow spiritually, you must engage in worship to God along with his people. Worship is the natural response from the person who has come to know Christ and his salvation. When Jesus talked with the woman at the well, he told her the time was coming, and had come because Jesus was now here when worship would change. Under the new...

2 Peter 3:18. This new series is about what you’re supposed to do when you are a Christian. We often talk about how to become a Christian, as we should, but we also need to study what to do when you become a Christian. We understand growth when it comes to a baby, or when talking about skill development in a sport or in playing an instrument, or even riding a bike. When it comes to our spiritual l...

Habakkuk 3:1-19. We began our study seeing Habakkuk complain, "When, God?" regarding the rampant sin among God's people. Habakkuk thought God was sitting back doing nothing about their sin. Then God answered that he was going to use the Babylonians to punish Judah and Habakkuk complained, "Why, God?" because he wanted the wicked Babylonians punished and didn't understand why God would use them to...

Our youth minister, Kenley Dover, preaches during our back-to-school service about looking ahead and staying the course in our faith.
