Weekend Sermons at Compass Bible Church

Our lives should be all about accomplishing the job of gospel advancement, all because the gospel explains to the world how Christ got the job done when it comes to taking away our sin. Every Christian ought to point people to Jesus and encourage everyone to join the work of gospel advancement in our world.

No matter how much pressure and opposition we get from our culture to be quiet about our Christianity, we must resolve to continue telling the truth about Christ and his gospel.

Living in submission to the lordship of Christ may cost us now, but the eternal benefits purchased by his life, death, and resurrection far outweigh the value of living for ourselves. Easter 2021 at Compass Bible Church

Becoming fully acceptable to God by the fragrant sacrifice of Christ ought to lead us to extravagant gratitude. Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; John 12:1-8

God’s Spirit is drawing people to understand his answer to this rebellious world’s problems -- the person and work of his Son, Jesus Christ.

We shouldn’t be surprised at pushback from people when we faithfully deliver the gospel, because God always uses it for the unpleasant work of exposing sin and guilt before he uses it to save.

Dr. Matt Shackelford, Lead Teaching Pastor at Central Church in Collierville, TN, delivers a sermon from Psalm 46 while guest preaching at Compass Bible Church.

We should humbly worship our infinitely transcendent God because he has mercifully reached into every corner of the world to seek and save the lost.

It is always more costly than we think to follow our wayward enticements, and to turn away from obedience to Christ’s life-giving words.

We must learn to fully trust in the omniscient and compassionate triune God who has thoughtfully planned our salvation and will walk us through this life until our redemption is complete.

The vindication of the gospel always involves waiting, difficulties, and rejection—but God provides the resources to patiently and resolutely endure.

We have every reason to fully trust in God’s good promises, knowing how he has faithfully worked and is providentially working to deliver on them all.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult in our society to follow the Lord, but if you will anchor yourself to the Word of God you will find yourself safe in him and able to endure in any and every circumstance.

We must be ready to endure the disapproval and hostility of many to fulfill our purpose in restraining evil around us and winning some for Christ.

We ought to be gratefully reassured by the impeccable promises of God which have guaranteed us a future salvation through the work of the Jewish Messiah.

A godly fear of the Lord will prompt us to sincerely love and highly esteem his fruitful servants who courageously set an example of fighting for truth.

We must fear the Lord as our omnipotent Provider who will graciously meet all our needs to accomplish all he requires.

This next year, we must take seriously the stewarding of God’s investment in us for the purpose of serving and advancing the kingdom.

2020 Christmas Eve Service at Compass Bible Church: Christ's Christmas Mission: Redeem & Rebuild (Luke1:67-75) | Pastor Mike Fabarez

Because our Leader – the incarnate Christ – is sovereign and omnipotent we can traverse any crisis with calm and courage no matter how difficult the circumstances may get.

This December, in a year when we’ve all had to rethink the role of governments, jurisdictions, and authorities, is a perfect time to revisit the claims of a baby born in Bethlehem—who is said to possess ultimate authority and universal jurisdiction. This living Christ logically demands our loyalty, love, and allegiance.

Being faithful and obedient to Christ in a fallen culture will always come with painful consequences for which we should be prepared and be willing to gladly endure for Christ’s sake.

Care much more about your eternal future home than you do about your temporary earthly home.

When our governing authorities actively oppose the work of the Church, Christians must remember that for the good of all we must fear God and be loyal to the King of kings.

Like the early church and the Apostles, today’s Christians ought to sincerely love and highly esteem their church leaders who are gifted, called, trained, and qualified to lead them and their churches into greater fruitfulness.
