Sermons from 2016 (Page 3)
Gospel Work
Those who receive the gospel work hard to make the gospel known. It is a product of God’s grace that we are saved. It is also a product of God’s grace that we labor and strive for two great things: 1) holiness; and 2) making Christ known. May this text motivate us to strive for the sake of Christ and the gospel.
The Person of Christ: Part 4
The final sermon on the person of Jesus Christ. Our faith rests on the firm foundation of not only Christ’s work but on his character. Truly, he is the Son of God!
The Gospel: Of First Importance
This text defines the gospel. If the gospel is lost, perverted or corrupted then there is no biblical church nor can one be a Christian. This is the primary truth of the Bible, the church, and the Christian. In this sermon, a definition of the gospel is given then defended from the text. The gospel is the foundational Christian message, by which God’s people are being saved, that describes Christ’s death for our sins, his burial, and his historical, eye-witnessed…
Orderly Spiritual Gifts
The final thoughts on the longest discussion concerning charismatic gifts. The apostle Paul gives guidelines and warnings concerning the abuse of spiritual gifts. All things are to be done for building up in love.
The Person of Christ: Part 3
We continue working through what the Bible teaches about who Jesus is. It is overwhelmingly clear that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God. Every false religion gets Jesus wrong. See what the Bible teaches about who he is.

The Great Commission
Kevin St. John discusses the great commission and what it means to fulfill it.
The Articulated Gospel

The Person of Christ: Part 2
Who is Jesus? What does the Bible say about his humanity and diety? The Bible is clearer than you might think.
Prophecy and Tongues
This is an important chapter as it addresses the modern charismatic movement. What is prophecy? What are tongues? Are they what we see today? We spend the first part of the sermon defining these gifts and then look at the passage as we seek to understand why prophecy is better than tongues.
The Endurance of Love
This passage is typically a battleground for debating when the gift of tongues will cease. Will it be just after the apostolic age or will it be at the return of Christ. Dwelling on this battle can cause us to miss the important truth this passage teaches. We ought to long for love. Love will outlast any supernatural gift. Let us not be content with the appetizer of bread and butter but crave the main course–a face to face encounter…
