Trinity Baptist Church Sermons

"A Christian’s hope is a hope that transcends this present world, but is not irrelevant to this present world. On a cosmic level, Christians look forward to a new creation—a renovated earth. But on a personal level, until then, we look forward to our spirit being with Jesus when we die. Notice that you don’t get the hope without the faith. Unless you know that Jesus stands as your advocate, you co...

"The gospel and good works are like fruit and the plant the fruit grows on. The plant produces it; the fruit proves it."

"You can recognize that the craving to be told, 'Well done. You’re accepted,' is, in fact, a desire God has put in your heart which he alone can satisfy. The only 'well done, you’re accepted' you will hear that will comfort and satisfy you will be the one God says."

"We turn up our noses at this idea of sacrifice only because we fail to see that we are always sacrificing to something—except the somethings we sacrifice ourselves to leave us as a pile of ashes. They are merciless."

"It's easy to fake faith; it's easy to fake hope. But where faith and hope merge into reality is whether you love other people."

"Despite that grand decree issued twenty centuries ago, now no one counts the years by the birth of Caesar Augustus, the most powerful human alive that night. Instead, every calendar from east to west, marks its years by the birth of a baby born into a lower class family in the zenith of Augustus’ reign. A baby whose family couldn’t even find a suitable place for him to be born and had to place hi...

"The injustice of their situation reminded them of the injustice done to Jesus. But the injustice done to Jesus was the outworking of God’s plan to bring about salvation through Jesus. But that simply reinforced their need to tell everyone who Jesus really was."

Acts 3:1-26

"The fact that Jesus is the Savior changes everything. In fact, there is not a spiritual problem in this room that could not be solved by a fuller understanding of the apostles’ doctrine. People have said that churches can be judgmental. You come in, and people are inspecting you, you feel watched. There is sufficient dynamite in the gospel to blow apart any hint of judgmentalism, because anyone w...

"The essence of Christian success is when the gospel reaches more people, and when the gospel reaches people more."

"If you think the Christian message is just an uplifting story that keeps you going, you don’t understand it. And if you think the Christian proclamation is a rigorous program of moral or political or social reform, you don’t understand it. The Christian message is the declaration that Jesus is the Lord of all and the Savior of all who believe in him because he died, rose from the dead, and now ha...

"The Holy Spirit takes everything Jesus did and makes it real for those who believe in him."
