Trinity Church of Lake Nona

In this sermon we return to the text we began the year with, Jesus’ great declaration at the end of the book of Revelation:  “Behold, I am making all things new.” (21:5)  This not only was a fitting text to start off our year, but is also the central text in shaping our future.  One…

In this sermon Dave Lindemulder takes us into the wilderness to show us how Jesus was victorious over Satan and his temptations. This is the first sermon in our series leading up to Easter: April 7: Jesus’ Victory over Satan in the Wilderness April 14: Jesus’ Victory over Sin on the Cross April 21: Jesus’…

Spiritual Warfare: Temptation In this sermon we wrap up our series on spiritual warfare by looking at Satan’s strategies for trying to destroy us: temptation.  He we see the primary way he sneaks up on us, and then strikes when he is close.  Our case study will be Eve. Our text will be Genesis 3.…

This week we study the sin of lust.  Our case study from the Word this week could come straight from the evening news. It is a story of sexual victimization. It is the sad, too-familiar tale of someone using their power to sexually exploit a vulnerable, under-aged person in their care. The victim is falsely accused, blamed, and…

In this sermon we continue our case studies of the seven deadly sins with sloth.  Surely this is not a sin that effects us? We live in a busy world, surrounded by busy people. We are always on the go. Everyone is busy, busy, busy… One of the most beautiful things about weekly sermon preparation is…

These sermons are a series of case studies in spiritual warfare. And this week we are looking at the case of Asaph and his battle with envy.  Asaph was a musician, and as musicians do, he wrote a song about his struggle with envy.  And his song is one of the most amazing songs ever written.…

In this sermon we look at the sin of anger and the story of Cain and Able.  What God tells us here is that there is a lion: lurking…stalking…waiting…it is very hungry, and not nearly as nice. It is waiting to pounce, waiting to devour, waiting to strike.  It is crouching just outside your door, and…

This week we are looking at the case of Haman and his battle with pride. Haman’s story is found in the book of Esther. The book of Esther is complicated, complex, and comical. It is a story about a young girl who finds herself orphaned, in a foreign land, where she ends up as one…

In Ephesians 6 Paul calls us to spiritual battle, and over the next 10 weeks we will be doing a series of case studies in spiritual warfare. Using the 7 deadly sins as a framework, we will look at 7 of Satan’s primary strategies for attacking us. In this sermon Gray Keller helps us battle…

This is part 2 of our look at the armor of God and spiritual warfare. Sermon Outline Ephesians 6:13-24 “13: Therefore take up the whole armor of God,” “18: praying at all times in the Spirit,” “ 21: Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything” 1. Provisions: Truth…

  In this sermon we begin a series on spiritual warfare. Sometimes looks can be deceiving.  For example, the Oregon Duck’s mascot may appear to be cute and cuddly, but don’t be fooled. He is exceptionally strong, cranking out about 500 pushups per game. In fact, this isn’t a bad image of the type of…

In this week’s sermon we look at how the gospel transforms our work. The 2001 movie O Brother Where Art Thou opens with the song the Big Rock Candy Mountain.  This song was written in 1928, just before the great depression. It paints a “unique” picture of paradise. There are hens that lay soft boiled eggs, cigarette trees, policemen with…

Paul, in Ephesians 5:21-6:9 paints a remarkable picture of what a Spirit-filled, gospel-centered family looks like. It is a picture of husbands and wives joyfully and sacrificially serving one another. It is a picture of children obeying and honoring their parents and of fathers nurturing and instructing their children. It is a beautiful picture of…

I am excited to get back into the book of Ephesians! As we move into the end of chapter 5 and start chapter 6, Paul shifts to showing how the gospel works itself out in marriages, parenting, and work. Ephesians 5:21-33 is the longest and one of the most profound texts on marriage in the…

Luke 2:21-40 Simeon’s Song of Peace: the nunc dimittis   Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word;   2 young parents who joyfully submit to God’s law 2 elderly prophets who patiently wait for God’s promise 2 strange pictures that teach the meaning of Christmas    

The Angel’s Song of Glory Luke 2:1-20 Luke 2 is one of the most famous passages in the Bible. It is the staple piece of every nativity play and it is heard in Hallmark Christmas movies. (I am no Hallmark movie expert, but I am just assuming.) It is the passage Linus turns to in explaining to…

The Magnificat: Mary’s Song of Glory Interestingly, one of the most asked (or sung) questions every Christmas is… Mary, did you know?  And in this sermon we get the answer! Here we look at one of the most famous passages in the Bible: Mary’s Magnificat, or song of majesty and glory. It is a beautiful, powerful song…

Songs of the Savior: Luke 1-2 For Advent this year we are hitting the pause button on our Ephesians series and are going to be looking at the first two chapters of the Gospel of Luke. Here Luke gives us the four original Christmas songs. But these songs are not songs about a magical snowman or a…

Psalm 95 is one of the best places in the Bible to learn about worship. Follow along as we learn the what of worship, the why of worship, and the how of worship. What: Your whole being is involved It ascribes “worth” Why: “worship is seeing God as beautiful not just useful” How: It is corporate It is rhythmic It is…

Over the next few weeks we will be discussing worship. We will be answering questions like: why we sing the songs we sing, or why we structure the service the way we do? In this sermon we look at the book of Exodus. The key idea is that God has revealed himself and true worship is responding…

In this sermon we begin a new series on worship. There are few things as powerful as the songs we sing. The right song can help us remember things we should never forget. It can help us forget things we should not remember. It can soften us when our hearts are hard or cheer us when…

In this passage Paul encourages us to: Walk in love. And we learn that sacrificial love is the fuel for our journey. Walk in the light. And we learn that the light gives us direction for our journey. Walk in wisdom. And we learn that our use of time gives us the pro

In this message we look at 4 key marks of the new community that the Gospel creates. A true counter-culture is committed to truth. A true counter-culture controls its anger. A true counter-culture contributes generously. A true counter-culture is constructive with its words.

The Wrong Way to live Your Life the condition (17) the cause(18) the consequences (19) The Right Way to Live Your Life the contrast (20-21) the commands (22-24)

In this sermon we look at Paul’s call to maturity. This was a family service at Trinity Lake Nona. So we unpack the theme of growing into maturity. Here is the sermon outline:   The energy they have…   Lots of activity…not a lot accomplished Exhibitionism Addicted to wiz-bang   The stability they need…  …
