Dealing with Opposition in the Church

In this final sermon on 3 John we consider the shepherd-like care of the apostle John as he deals with a wolf in order to ensure the continued advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here we learn lessons on leadership, on courage, on the new birth, and on keeping Christ at the center. Passage: 3 John 9-15

Faithful for the Sake of the Name

This sermon reminds us of the mission we have to go and make disciples of the nations. It is a call to be faithful in receiving, sending, and going out for the sake of the name. Each believer has a role to play in serving Christ. May God make us faithful to be fellow laborers for the truth. Passage: 3 John 5-8

Walking in Truth and Love

The first in a three part series looking at the letter of 3 John. The letter opens and reminds us of the importance of truth and love as the basis for the Christian life, church, and home. There is no greater joy for the apostle than to see his children walking in the truth. Passage: 3 John 1-4

The Glory of the King

When Jesus calls his disciples to suffer, to embrace the shame of world, and even to die, he does not leave them without a vision of the glory that is to be revealed. In Jesus’ final instructions about discipleship, he gives his disciples a sneak preview of the glory of the coming kingdom. We must remember that any suffering we experience now is light and momentary compared to the eternal weight of glory before us. Passage: Luke 9:27-36

Pentecost and Prophecy

Pastor Alex Russell continues his series through the book of Acts examining the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy as preached by Peter. We are challenged to see the manifold blessings of the outpouring of the Spirit and its continuing effects into our time. Passage: Acts 2:14-21

Prepare to Suffer

Jesus exhorts us to prepare to suffer as part of the cost of discipleship. This is a needed lesson as culture grows more hostile to God and his word. Here is a call to count the cost, see Jesus and worthy, and endure suffering for the sake of his name. Passage: Luke 9:24-26
