Main Service Sermons
Living in Light of Christ's Return, pt.1
In this sermon, we see Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonians to grow in love and holiness. When we live in light of the Judgment Seat of Christ, we will live blameless lives that glorify God!
We Need a Mature Faith
In this sermon, we revisit the importance of accountability in Biblical discipleship. Mature ministers help younger Believers grow in their faith. We also examine how the Judgment Seat of Christ guided Paul’s prayers for the Thessalonians. Are we burdened for our church to grow in love and holiness?
Focus on the Judgment Seat of Christ
In this sermon, we see Paul’s yearning to see the Thessalonians again and prove out their faith. When he receives a good report from his disciple Timothy, he rejoices and thanks the Lord in prayer. By staying focused on the Judgment Seat of Christ in prayer, we resist Satan’s temptations and glorify God with our lives.
The Judgment Seat of Christ
In this sermon, we examine the doctrine of the Judgment Seat of Christ. The Bible teaches that every Christian will give account before Christ, and fire shall try their works of service to God. For those who lay their lives down investing the Word of God into the souls of men, there will be great reward - but for those who “live their best life now,” there will be great loss.
Be Thankful
In this sermon, Paul once again thanks the Lord in prayer for the Thessalonians. If we receive the Word of God in faith and choose to suffer with God’s people, then we can look forward to the hope and joy of reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
Message to Leaders, pt.3
In this sermon, we further examine Paul’s heart in ministry. We are called to be spiritual fathers and mothers to our disciples. We must lay down our lives loving those we lead in ministry.
Message to Leaders, pt.2
In this sermon, Paul expresses his motherly care for the Believers at Thessalonica. Are we sacrificially loving our disciples with the same gentleness and grace?
Message to Leaders, pt.1
In this sermon, we begin our exposition of 1 Thessalonians. We are introduced to Paul’s missionary team and his pattern of ministry. We are called to win souls, make disciples, then equip and send proven leaders to do the same!
Conclusion - The Quest for God's King
This message is a conclusion to our series in the book of 1 Samuel. We review the themes of the book: Samuel’s faithful ministry, Saul’s good start but ultimate failure, and David’s establishment and growth as the anointed of the Lord.
Loss: Saul's Death
In this sermon, the LORD brings about the final judgment of Saul, who falls in battle to the Philistines. His refusal to truly repent and seek the LORD ends in disaster for the entire nation.
David Devastated
In this sermon, David and his men return from the battlefield to discover that their camp at Ziklag had been raided by the Amalekites. Their camp was burnt down, their families were taken captive. Nevertheless, David encourages himself in the LORD - and God works a miraculous rescue.
Dumping David
In this sermon, David finds himself in the camp of the Philistines as they prepare to march on Israel. Suspicious of his company, the princes of the Philistines dismiss him from their ranks.
We Missed Halloween by Only Two Weeks
In this sermon, Saul and the nation of Israel are encamped against the Philistines. When the LORD refuses to answer Saul’s prayers, he turns to a familiar spirit who summons Samuel from the dead. The prophet rebukes Saul’s wickedness and eerily pronounces his final judgment before disappearing once more.
Depression, Defection, and Deception
In this sermon, David succumbs to fear again, fleeing to the land of Gath. There, he deceives king Achish while secretly invading the enemies of Israel to the south.
One More Try at Killin' David
In this sermon, Saul makes a final attempt to hunt down David in the wilderness. This vain and prideful attempt only ends with David showing Saul mercy by refusing to slay him once again.
David's Forgiveness, pt.2
In this sermon, David takes Abigail to wife - and we further examine the Biblical Types of David as Christ and Abigail as the Church. However, this decision goes against the commands of the LORD for the kings of Israel. This foreshadows future troubles for David.
David's Forgiveness, pt.1
In this sermon, David and his guerrillas are armed and en route to the house of churlish Nabal. However, his humble and generous wife, Abigail, meets David’s forces with gifts and humbly pleads for their mercy. Nabal is ultimately judged by the Lord, but Abigail - a type of the church - receives mercy.
David's Mercy
In this sermon, Saul gathers an elite force to hunt down David in the wilderness. When their search is to no avail, David is given a chance to slay Saul, but he chooses to have mercy. King Saul responds with feigned repentance and returns home, but David and his men remain in their stronghold.
David the Deliverer
In this sermon, David and his mighty men are called to defend the farms of Keilah from Philistine raids. David’s great faith and readiness to inquire of the LORD lead to a victory for God’s people as they narrowly escape the pursuit of Saul and his soldiers.
The Rule of Antichrist
In this sermon, David and his band of guerrillas continue to flee persecution. Meanwhile, King Saul with his wicked servant, Does the Edomite, murder Ahimelech and the priests of the LORD for giving aid to David. This horrific scene pictures the slaughter and persecution of the rule of antichrist.
