Jerusalem’s Rejection
Jesus laments over Israel’s continued rejection of his work and identity. He has continued to display his compassion and demonstration his power. Yet Israel persists in rebellion. Jesus pronounces God’s judgment yet gives a ray of hope that one day they will see him when they recognize him as the blessed one who comes in the name of the Lord. Passage: Luke 13:31-35
Will Those Who Are Saved Be Few?
In this sermon we consider a question asked of Jesus, “Will those who are saved be few?” Jesus’ answer probes deep into the heart to describe what one must do to be saved. He warns about those seeking entrance into the kingdom but are shut out and perish. Our Lord, like always, does not speak in abstraction, but makes truth very personal. Will those who are saved include you? Passage: Luke 13:22-30
A Second Chance at Repentance
Jesus extends mercy and compassion again and again. Yet religious pretenders continue to reject him and harden their hearts. In this sermon we consider how the hypocrite exercises a counterfeit repentance and contrast that with true repentance. Note: The end of the video has some qualities issues as the sun streamed into the church during the sermon. Passage: Luke 13:10-21
Massacre and Disaster: A Call to Repentance
This sermon considers the conflict in Israel and how we ought to look at it through a biblical lens. We consider the words of Jesus and the call to repentance amid reports of massacres and disasters. Passage: Luke 13:1-9
God Is In Control
Justin Peters delivers important lessons from Daniel 1 which demonstrate that our God is in control. Passage: Daniel 1
Christian Unity
Pastor Jacob Reaume from Trinity Bible Chapel in Waterloo preaches on Christian unity. He explains what it is (and what it is not). Then he follows this up with how we achieve and maintain this unity. This is a needed message for the church today. Passage: 1 Corinthians 1:10-16
The Enduring Word
In a world that is hostile to the gospel, what confidence does the Christian have in his mission? What hope does he have that his efforts will not fail? Acts 4:13-22 brings us to the answer: that the Word of God will endure come what may. As the church takes it’s stand for Christ, weak and frail as she is, the powers of darkness will never prevail. God will ensure the continuation of the truth. Passage: Acts 4:13-22
Sovereign from Beginning to End
In this sermon we see a present day description of Jesus Christ. He is exalted in authority and strength. Jesus Christ is the great sovereign, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. We need this vision of Jesus in times of tribulation, doubt, anxiety, and confusion. This is Jesus, high and lifted up. Passage: Revelation 1:9-18
The Perfect Plan
This sermon examines Peter’s words to the people of Jerusalem 50 days after Jesus’ death. Peter explains that Jesus was delivered over to death by the definite plan and foreknowledge of God. This raises questions about God’s character and human responsibility. What we see are important truths that are meant to be understood, lead us to repentance, and grant us boldness to live for Christ. Passage: Acts 2:23
The Axe in God’s Hand
This sermon continues our examination of the sovereignty of God by considering God’s judgment of the northern tribes at the hands of the Assyrian army. This passage is clear and decisively teaches the both the absolute sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man. Be warned: this sermon is a hard sermon. Yet, may this text bring clarity and greater convictions concerning the greatness of our God. Passage: Isaiah 10:5-12
The Glory of God in Power Over Pharaoh
In this sermon, we consider the exodus of Israel from Egypt. God orchestrated this event to show his power so that his name might be proclaimed in all the earth. This involved mighty acts of judgment and the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart until God’s purposes were fulfilled. It is important to know this event and then submit to and worship this great God! This is the second sermon in a series of sermons on the Sovereignty of God. Passage: Exodus…
God Meant Evil for Good
God is in control of all things. This simple truth becomes more difficult when we consider evil in the world and the evil actions of men. How does God’s rule extend over evil and suffering? This message considers the story of Joseph and how God is revealed in his life. Not only must we know about God’s sovereignty, we must live in light of it. May this sermon help us to do just that. This is the first of a…
