Sermons
Part 25: Some Bread, A Stick, & The Law
This sermon explores the contents of the Ark of the Covenant—manna (bread), Aaron’s budding staff (stick), and the tablets of the Law—and how each symbolizes essential truths for Christians today.
Part 24: Something New
This sermon explores the concept of “newness” in culture and faith, contrasting society’s obsession with new things against the biblical idea of the New Covenant. It warns against misunderstanding the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, emphasizing that the New Testament is not just an “upgrade” of the Old, nor is God’s character changed between them.
Part 23: Mount Calvary
This sermon centers on the significance of “Mount Calvary” and the message of the book of Hebrews, focusing on the holiness of God, the problem of sin, and the necessity of Christ’s sacrifice.
Part 22: A Sermon on a Mount (Part 2)
This sermon explores what it truly means to be a Christian, focusing on the teachings of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7). It emphasizes that Christianity is not about external appearances, traditions, or programs, but about internal transformation through the Gospel.
Part 21: A Sermon on a Mount (Part 1)
This sermon emphasizes that the primary mission of the church is to “build Christians.” Just as companies and organizations are known for what they produce (Ford builds cars, Marines build soldiers), the church’s purpose is to nurture and grow followers of Christ. If a church stops focusing on this, especially on ministry to children, it loses its purpose.
Part 20: Something to Offer
This sermon centers on the idea that, as individuals and as a church, we truly have nothing to offer God except what He has given us through Christ. Our greatest gift is the Gospel, and our calling is to “go big” in faith, service, and generosity until we reach our eternal home.
Part 19: To the Uttermost
This sermon centers on the idea that God demands perfection from humanity, but humans consistently “miss the mark” (sin). The Old Testament sacrificial system and priesthood could not achieve true perfection or lasting reconciliation with God. Only Jesus, as the perfect, eternal, and certain High Priest, can save “to the uttermost.”
Part 18: Inferior to Superior
This sermon explores the question of whether tithing is a New Testament (NT) command, using Hebrews 7 and the story of Melchizedek and Abraham as the foundation. The preacher emphasizes that the entire Bible points to Jesus and that the ultimate call for Christians is not just to tithe, but to become generous givers of everything they have.
Part 17: Never Heard of Him
This sermon centers on the mysterious biblical figure Melchizedek, whose brief but significant appearance in Scripture serves as a profound illustration of Christ’s greatness.
