RCC Sermons

We begin a new sermon series for the Fall, picking up the story of the Israelites in Exodus 1.

In Psalm 51, David seeks the mercy of God through a repentant heart after his sin with Bathsheba.

Pastor Tom outlines plans for the fall and challenges the church to live out Colossians 3.

In Psalm 5, we see David praying for God’s justice for his enemies. In light of the cross, we can pray the same, though our ultimate hope should be for their salvation.

In Psalm 2, we see prophecy of Christ’s reign and evidence of his sovereignty.

In Psalm 16, David declares that God is the source of all good things in his life.

In Psalm 1, in the wisdom genre, we see the contrast between the ways of the righteous and the ways of the wicked.

In Psalm 9, David praises God for his justice in the present time and in the time to come.

In Psalm 13, we see an example of David lamenting. The psalms come in several different genres and they all serve as examples of how we can approach God with all of the parts of our life!

As we begin a new sermon series on the book of Psalms, we see God’s majesty revealed in creation, particularly in his human creatures. We see this both in his design and the redemption wrought in Christ.

In the conclusion of our Malachi series, covering Malachi 3:13-4:6, justice is promised by the Father. Throughout this short book, the themes of worship and justice have been prevalent.

In Malachi 3:4-12, the people of Israel are rebuked for neglecting their tithes. Through Christ we are freed from the specifics of the law, but we remain called to generosity.

In Malachi 2:17-3:3, the people are told of God’s coming. This is both a warning of his judgement, and for us as Christians, a promise of salvation.

In Malachi 2:10-16, Malachi challenges the people to be faithful to God and their spouses in their marriages.

In Malachi 1:6-2:9, the people and the priests are called out for offering less than their best to God.

We start a new series on the book of Malachi covering chapter 1 verses 1-5. In these verses, the relentless love of God for Israel, and for all Christians through Jesus, is on full display.

In Acts 11:19-30, God breaks Peter out of jail as we come to the conclusion of our series The Spirit and the Church.

In Acts 9:32-11:18, God reveals his intent to redeem not only Jews but also the Gentiles in Jesus Christ.

As we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, we are reminded of the truth our salvation through His sacrifice.

In Acts 9:1-31, God brings an unlikely character into His plan to spread the gospel to the world.

In Acts 8:26-40, Philip is led by the spirit to meet with a eunuch seeking God. Through their interaction, Philip shares the gospel and adds another person that previously would have been excluded from God’s people.

In Acts 8:1-25, the early church faces persecution in the wake of Stephen’s death. Many of the believers scatter, and the gospel is brought to the Samaritan people.

In Acts 6:8-7:60, we see Stephen, one of the deacons appointed earlier in chapter 6, brought before the Sanhedrin. As he stands before them, he rebukes them for being like their fathers: stiff necked and having uncircumcised hearts. As a result, the council drags Stephen out of the city and stones him.

In Acts 6:1-7, the early church is faced with a conflict. The 12 apostles, remaining faithful to their calling as ministers, delegate some of the day to day tasks of caring for church members to 7 men, full of the spirit, who would come to be known as deacons.

In Acts 5:12-42 the apostles appear before the Sanhedrin, counting it all joy to be subject to punishment for following God’s commands.
