Trinity Baptist Church Sermons

As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday as a nation, we should give thanks to God for the unique blessings we enjoy in America. We should also seek God’s wisdom on how to be a blessing as Christian citizens of America while reminding ourselves that our ultimate allegiance is to Christ. I. What Is A Christian’s Duty to Country? (Romans 13:1-7) II. What Is A Christian’s Duty to God? (1 Peter 2:13-1...

Compared to most societies in the past and around the world, modern Americans have more wealth, health, personal autonomy, and access to goods and entertainment. Yet we are also very unhappy—as indicated by high rates of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and addiction. Although “the pursuit of happiness” is enshrined in America’s founding documents as an “unalienable right,” we seem to miss a deepe...

“The fruit of the Spirit is love.”Galatians 5:22Love is what we all need. But love is also what we find confusing, frustrating, and even scary. Love, in its purest form, means total sacrifice and total vulnerability. This is why the Bible insists that love is not something we can manufacture. Instead, it is what God’s Spirit produces in the life of a person who abides in Christ. I. Our Problem wit...

The Bible teaches that the Christian life means living “in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25; Romans 8:4). But what does this mean? To some people, it means that we no longer need rules to guide our behavior. To others, it means that we live by inner impressions and strong emotions. This passage presents a richer and deeper meaning. Life in the Spirit is neither lawlessness nor emotionalism. Rather, it...

In recent days, we’ve seen encouraging progress in the growth and revitalization of churches in our region and beyond. At such a time, it’s good to reflect on what is happening—not only to rejoice in his blessings, but also to renew our commitment to the mission Christ has entrusted to us. When we look at this through his eyes, we see that his assessment of his region is true for ours as well. In...

We are constantly making choices based on what we think the future holds. We choose a checkout lane because it appears to be moving the fastest. We choose an investment because we believe it will yield the greatest return. But how do we make decisions when the stakes extend beyond this life? Can we risk such a monumental outcome on little more than our best guesses? What if, in the end, we find ou...

As modern Americans who enjoy prosperity and freedom of religion, we know very little of the pressure that God’s people have faced in ages past. To these persecuted people, God gives instruction and assurance so that their faith will not fail. Do we have anything to learn from this? Certainly, since we face our own times of darkness, even if on a smaller scale. Daniel 10 teaches us that even in th...

Daniel 9 is like a puzzle piece: on its own, it’s hard to understand, but when you see the bigger picture, its meaning becomes clearer. At its heart is a question familiar to us all: how will God deal with our deepest problem—sin? For Daniel and his people, sin had led to exile far from home. When Daniel prayed for the exile to end, God’s answer was bigger and more complex than he expected: God wo...

How can God’s people thrive in a world that tries to squeeze us into its mold, especially when it seems that the values of that culture have triumphed? When the book of Daniel opens, it looks like evil had won. Jerusalem is sacked. The king is captured. Treasures from Yahweh’s temple lie under the shadow of the Babylonian gods. And Judah’s best and brightest young men are enrolled in a rigorous pr...
