The Bible Chapel Sermons

Is a same-sex couple in a loving monogamous relationship in line with God’s ideal and design? What does Jesus say about a same-sex relationship? Should I attend a same-sex marriage? How do I respond if my child comes out as gay? How does a Christian respond to the LGTBQ+ community? These are real questions that Christians are working through. As always, we must align our thinking, feelings, and ac...

The Gospel of Mark is a fast-paced, hard-hitting story of Jesus focusing more on what he did than what he said. This should not be surprising because Mark’s Gospel is based on Peter’s sermons and account of what took place. As we wrap up our study, let’s focus on three things Mark teaches us about Jesus. -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning...

Eternal life transformation in Jesus Christ (KANT)   Knowledge of Jesus Agreement with Jesus Need of Jesus Trust in Jesus   Unbeliever – The greatest commandment points to your greatest need, to trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. John 6:47, Romans 10:9   Believer – The greatest commandment points to our constant great need and responsibility to pursue Jesus. 1 Timothy 3:16, 1 Timothy 4:6-1...

As believers, we have dual citizenship. We are citizens of the United States, and we are citizens of the Kingdom of God. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. -Philippians 3:20 So, how do we deal with this dual citize...

A parent’s top priority is to bring their kids to Jesus. No other activity should compromise time in God’s Word and His Church. Mark 10:13   Kids, always remember - no one loves you more than Jesus. Mark 10:14,16, Romans 5:8   The kingdom of God consists of humble believers who, with full dependence, have trusted in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Mark 10:14-15, Luke 18:9-14, Matthew 18:3-4 ----...

The greatest treasure a person can receive is to be declared an eternal child of God through faith in Jesus Christ.   The next generation desperately needs to witness men of God who prioritize their relationship with Him, His Word, and His Church.   SCRIPTURE THIS WEEK: Mark 10:17-31 Romans 3:9-11 Ephesians 2:4-5 Matthew 6:19-21 Romans 5:8 Ephesians 1:3 John 14:6 -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON...

Are you a self-centered believer or a Gospel-centered believer? Mark 9:30-37   A self-centered believer is consumed by personal preference and social status. Mark 9:33-34   A Gospel-centered believer is committed to selfless service to others. Mark 9:35-37, Mark 10:45, Philippians 2:1-11 -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechap...

It’s easy to give God the glory when we are hoisting the championship trophy, but what about when we are fighting for our lives against a deadly disease? In today’s passage, we follow Jesus from the mountain to the lowlands. Let’s see what we learn about him and about ourselves. -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/de...

“Deny Himself”—Destroy the idol of self-centeredness Jesus is not asking us to lose our personalities, die as a martyr, or live a life of self-rejection and self-hatred. We are not to live a life of asceticism. He is asking us to turn from the idol of self-centeredness.   “Take up his cross and follow me”—Daily Surrender Jesus’ audience had seen a person take up their cross too many times. The con...

Saving Faith: The self-abandoning trust in the person and work of Jesus. Self-righteousness: The self-absorbed belief that I am morally superior.   Saving Faith: All about grace. Self-righteousness: All about my works.   Saving Faith: All about Jesus. Self-righteousness: All about me.   Saving Faith: Compassion. Self-righteousness: Judgmentalism. -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s...

As we continue our study through the Gospel of Mark, turn to Mark 7:24-30. I want to show you from Scripture what a mother of great faith looks like. As we break that down, I believe we will see two characteristics of great faith. Passionate Presence Persistent Prayer -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo . LIVING...

God’s Word is absolute truth and the only standard for morality. John 17:17, Psalm 119:160   God’s Word is unchanging, we should never add or subtract from the Word of God. Isaiah 40:8, Proverbs 30:5-6   Did God really say salvation is by grace through faith apart from works? Ephesians 2:8-9   Did God really say Jesus is the exclusive way to Heaven? John 14:6   A person is declared righteous befor...

The Nazareth Tragedy Many who grew up in close proximity to Jesus ended up rejecting Him. Mark 6:1-6, Matthew 13:58, John 7:5   The Nazareth Challenge   Is TBC full of believers who are bold for Jesus or ashamed of Jesus? Are we trying to “fit in” with the world or “stand out” for Christ? Mark 6:11, John 15:18, Matthew 5:10, 2 Timothy 3:12 -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily D...

Mark reports three miracles in chapter 5. First, there is the healing of a demonic man on the east side of the Sea of Galilee. Then, back on the west side, a healing of a woman who had been sick for 12 years. Finally, the raising to life of a twelve-year-old girl. Each person was in a desperate situation. These three incidents show Jesus’ authority, compassion, and power. MARK 5: AUTHORITY. COMPAS...

The Resurrection is not an event we celebrate once a year but the power of God that we experience every day of our lives. And was Jesus the only one who was raised from the dead? The Bible tells us that every follower of Jesus has been raised to life as well—we have been raised with Jesus. Paul wrote this to the early Christians: You were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working...

For our Easter series, we have jumped to Mark 13-16 to follow Jesus to the cross and consider his glorious resurrection. Today, we focus on Mark 14. This long chapter (72 verses!) is packed. Our focus today will be on three people in the text and how their story relates to ours.

Mark 11:1-19   As Jesus journeyed to the cross, He was never a helpless victim, He was always the sovereign Savior. Mark 11:1-14, Zechariah 9:9, John 10:17-18   God has zero tolerance for hypocrisy, He passionately desires authentic worship. Mark 11:15-19, Exodus 34:14   As the temple of the Holy Spirit, what does God need to overturn in your heart? Mark 11:15, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 1 John 1:9 --...

The Gospel According to Mark: Introduction Each of the four Gospels in the New Testament takes on a different “personality” and focus. Matthew (dated late 50s/early 60s) is written to the Jews to show that Jesus is the Messiah. Luke wrote a two-volume set (his Gospel and Acts) around A.D. 62. His Gospel is written to a Greek audience (in particular, Theophilus), proving that Jesus is the Son of Ma...
