Heritage Sunday Sermons

In the backdrop of Israel’s failure as the chosen servant, the Lord calls a servant who will draw to God not only Israel but also the nations. In these passages, we see the call of the Great Servant of God and His call to us.

Throughout redemptive history, the Lord brings deliverance to His people in spite of their remaining sin. In Isaiah 47-48 we see the Lord’s deliverance to the exiles while the exiles are still stubborn. This example strikes us with a serious warning against defiling the great work of our merciful God.

In the Ten Commandments, we see the revelation of the Lord’s moral standard for all believers. As we receive new members, this Lord’s Day we will be reminded of what we are all called to in Christ.

The Lord has spoken through His Son in these last days. The call and command from the book of Hebrews is that we are all meant to heed His voice.

The Lord declares His absolute authority over humanity to use whom He chooses and save whom He desires. In this doctrine we learn thankfulness for salvation and freedom in service.

"A page of history is of more worth than a pound of logic." In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul recalls Israel’s wilderness wanderings to warn the one who thinks he stands, lest he fall.

The Lord Jesus has worked to unite us as Christians by giving us all the same Spirit. In this passage, the Apostle Paul reminds us to work to maintain the unity that Christ has worked in us.

One of the many things Isaiah wants us to be convinced of is that God is Faithful. He will never deny Himself or His purposes. This Lord’s Day, we will consider the great Faithfulness of God and how we respond to Him.

Isaiah now introduces us to a Character who will dominate the rest of the book of Isaiah. The Lord’s Servant. In this passage we will learn that the Servant is the Lord’s solution to our problem of weakness.

Of all the facts about the Creator God, one of the most notable is that it is in His Nature to save. He is by Nature a rescuer of those unlike Him; i.e., those who are weak. In chapter 41 Isaiah depicts God as being supreme over time and all events and that all that glory is at His disposal to save His weak and powerless people. This Lord's Day we will consider God's greatness for our good.

This Lord’s Day we consider the story of Gehazi’s greed from 2 Kings 5, paying close attention to the sin of lying and the destructive consequences it brings—not only to our character but also to our witness before God and others.

Isaiah seeks to convince us that there is no god like the Creator. In these passages we will see that God is unique in specifically one way: He is Aseity—He is the source of His own Being and needs nothing to exist. This Lord’s Day we will fix our eyes on His greatness as we continue to study His Nature.

In chapters 40-45 Isaiah depicts for us God as the Lord over all creation. This Lord’s Day we will see this important truth, and how it affects us today.

As we return to Isaiah’s prophecy, we find ourselves in the section where Isaiah spends a lot of energy describing God and His Nature to us. As we begin this study of God and who He is, in Isaiah 40 we learn why God reveals Himself. Join us this Lord’s Day as we seek to know why God wants us to know Him.

This Lord's Day, we conclude our time in Ruth by seeing how Boaz as a redeemer points us to the greater Redeemer Jesus Christ Who has delivered us from our bondage to sin.

In Ruth chapter 3, things start to take a positive turn for Ruth and Naomi and we find in this text some valuable lessons concerning prayer.

“It's not over until the fat lady sings," is a common maxim that is often used to remind us that there is hope for the current state of negative affairs to change. In our text, we start seeing glimmers of hope that Ruth and Naomi’s circumstances, bleak as they are, are in the sovereign control of a seeing God Who works all things for our good and His glory.

As we start our series in Ruth, we see that it begins with a tragedy that leaves Naomi empty but at the same time we see evidence of faith in God that is both encouraging and exemplary.

As we continue exploring Kingdom Etiquette, we see that God calls us to a radical holiness and a sacrificial love that shapes a community marked by mutual protection—not only from external harm, but even from the corrupting power of our own sin.

This Lord's Day, we begin a short series on Kingdom Etiquette, exploring how God humbles the proud and welcomes the lowly, forming a community marked by cross-shaped humility and Christlike hospitality.

This Father’s Day, we learn biblical principles of godly fatherhood from David, Solomon’s father, and we see how he ultimately points us to Christ Who reconciled us to our heavenly Father!

In Psalm 32, we see the blessing of forgiveness and of free justification in Christ Jesus.

In Mark 4, we see the disciples encounter a great storm at sea, while Jesus is fast asleep. We then see how Jesus brings about a great calm. This passage has many lessons that we can learn to help us in our time of need.

In the second session of our 2025 family conference, Ps. Jeff Smith shows how every believer must invest care and effort to maintain unity, and especially in the local church.

In the third session of our family conference, Ps. Jeff Smith looks at how we as believers must bear with one another's weaknesses, infirmities, and failings, and provide help and assistance.
