Weekend Sermons at Compass Bible Church

Because God perceives all that we do and all that happens to us, we ought to live with a deep confidence in his approval when we do right, and be driven to a speedy repentance when we do wrong.

True strength isn’t found in preserving yourself from sacrifice, but in gladly spending yourself for others' spiritual good alongside companions who share that same selfless commitment.

We ought to endure in doing what is right regardless of the support, applause, or appreciation we receive, knowing Christ sees, cares, and rewards.

Commit to regularly and specifically praying for God to powerfully advance the gospel message through his people’s clear presentation of the truth.

We need to realize that our usefulness in the cause of Christ is not measured by good health, but rather by our dependence on God to work in and through us for his own glory.

We ought to share our experiences selectively, defaulting to those that glorify God, rejecting private experiences as spiritual credentials, and letting our sacrificial service be the true measure of our impact.

True devotion to Christ and his cause is always marked by sacrifice and suffering — costs we must willingly embrace because we love him and his people.

When God divinely interrupts our plans, instead of responding with annoyance, we should pay attention to what God is seeking to do in and through us for his glory and our sanctification.

We must never submit to those who claim spiritual authority while leading with exploitation, domination, and contempt.

We must remain constantly vigilant against the unrelenting efforts of God’s spiritual enemies to strategically displace the authority of Scripture with the authority of their own voices.

We must learn to biblically assess spiritual leaders and wholeheartedly commit to those who demonstrate the qualifications God's Word requires.

Because God is jealous for our allegiance to Christ, we must guard our devotion from deceptive and twisted views of Christianity.

We must never perform for our critics or let them shape our character, but we must always stay faithful where God has placed us and aim to please Christ.

Because the resurrected Christ has proven his authority as our divine life-giver and judge, we must respond to his call and trust him for eternal life to escape the judgment we deserve.

God previewed the rich meaning and impact of Christ’s redemptive work through the Old Testament symbols of the Ark of the Covenant, its sacrifices, and its rituals.

We will often be judged by surface-level impressions and assumptions, but we must stay focused on our spiritual integrity and refuse to play the comparison game.

Knowing that we will encounter criticism, we must work to always respond more like Christ, enlisting, powerful, and wise resources that God provides us.

God is at work, advancing the gospel one testimony at a time.

Christians who refuse to complain trust God in a way that clearly sets them apart from the world.

Christians who give generously make a far greater impact than they realize—God uses their giving to strengthen their churches and advance the reputation of gospel near and far.

We ought to be motivated to give cheerfully because of the bold promises God makes to generous Christians, especially his revelation that he takes special joy in joyful generosity.

We should pursue a Christian maturity marked by a Christlike, dependable, and increasing generosity.

The giving God calls us to is generous but discerning, and it requires us to handle what has been entrusted to us with great care and integrity.

Because God measures the heart, not appearances, Christians are called to pursue undivided hearts rather than impressive lives, and therefore practice regular, honest self-examination before God as an essential part of the Christian life.

We should give willingly and proportionately, trusting God to accomplish good through our gifts and to provide for us in the process.
