Third Church Sermons

This Sunday Rick Hutton continues our Philippians series with Paul’s challenge to the church to find joy and strength in unity.

This Sunday Corey Wdimer continues to explore Paul's logic of joy and how he assimilates the experience of suffering through his theological vision of hope.

This Sunday, Ed Satterfield continues our series through the book of Philippians and guides us through Paul's purpose, hope, joy, and certainty, despite his uncertain circumstances.

This week, we'll see how Paul practices living into a larger story even in the midst of very painful circumstances.

This Sunday we're starting a new sermon series called Resilient Joy, based on the book of Philippians.

We’ll finish our series on the book of Acts this week with a wonderful story about three people whose lives are transformed by the gospel.

This Sunday we'll continue in our Growing Small series by looking at the story of the first true Gentile congregation- the church of Antioch.

This Sunday we'll continue our study of the early church by looking at one of the most dramatic moments in the book of Acts: the conversion of the first Gentile.

We'll continue the story of the early church this week by looking at one of the great turning points in the book, Acts 8.

This Sunday, we'll look at what happens when people live as new spiritual family in face to face relationships: conflict! Acts 6 is a great story about how the early Christians worked through challenges and remained united.

This Sunday we’ll continue exploring what “Growing Small” means as we turn to the remarkable portrait of the early church in Acts 2:42–47.

This Sunday we'll look at one of the most famous stories in the book of Acts — the story of Pentecost. When Jesus Christ gives his Spirit to his people, he doesn't just break into our lives, he also breaks us open.

This Sunday we'll begin a new sermon series called Growing Small: The Mission of the Spirit and the Church in the Book of Acts, exploring what "growing small" looks like through the lens of this book.

This Sunday we gather to celebrate our Risen Lord. Jesus is not only revealed and given — he is raised!

This Sunday, Richard Haney preaches on how Jesus is given in sorrow. As we get closer to Holy Week, we are reflecting more and more on the grief, suffering and sorrow of Jesus.

This week we will continue to explore what it means that Jesus is given for us by looking at a text from the Gospel of John. John frames this same truth about the substitutionary love of Jesus with a beautiful personal metaphor of shepherd and sheep.

This Sunday, we'll look at Jesus' prediction of his suffering and death as a sacrifice, offered on behalf of others, leading his disciples on the downward path of service and self-giving love.

This Sunday is communion Sunday, and we'll celebrate that sacred meal by reflecting on Jesus' institution of the sacrament in Luke 22. What does it truly mean when Jesus says, "This is my body, given for you?"

This Sunday we are continuing in our series Revealed and Given, but we are now shifting into the "Given" dimension of that statement. This Sunday we'll look at a key passage in the book of Mark that explores Jesus' own understanding of his identity and calling.

As this weekend brings the final Sunday of Epiphany, we’ll be looking at one of the most significant epiphanies of Jesus in the Gospels: his transfiguration.

This Sunday we’re continuing in our Epiphany series, looking at stories that reveal something important about the person of Jesus. We’ll be reflecting this Sunday on Jesus as the liberator of human beings from the power of evil, as demonstrated through the remarkable story of a man named Legion.

This week we'll be looking at another epiphany of Jesus, his healing of a man with leprosy.

This week, our students led our congregation in worship and teaching, continuing in our series with Luke 5:27-32.

This week, we'll keep pressing into joy as we reflect on Jesus' first sermon in Nazareth.

On Sunday we kicked off a new sermon series : Revealed and Given: A Journey with Jesus through Epiphany and Lent. In the coming weeks, we'll be looking at stories about Jesus from the four Gospels that disclose or reveal something important about Jesus' identity and mission. This Sunday, Rick Hutton will be preaching on another seminal Epiphany story, the wedding feast at Cana.
