This sermon explores the concept of “rock the boat faith”—a faith that isn’t passive or on autopilot, but one that actively trusts and pleases God, even when life is turbulent.
This sermon centers on Hebrews 11, which describes faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Faith is not just a feeling, a blind leap, or a blank check for wishes. Instead, it is a confident trust in God’s promises, even when they are not visible.
This sermon centers on the main theme of the Bible: God’s desire to be with His people. Using Hebrews 10:22-25, the message highlights three key actions for Christians.
This sermon uses the idea of “reruns”—watching the same TV shows or movies repeatedly—as a metaphor for how we revisit old patterns, stories, and lessons, especially in faith. Just as people rewatch favorite shows, the writer of Hebrews encourages us to “rerun” the Old Testament (OT) to understand the New Testament (NT) better.
This sermon emphasizes that throughout the Bible, blood is central to purification and forgiveness. The Old Testament sacrifices were symbolic, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus’ blood is unique and final—His sacrifice is not repeated like the old priestly rituals. This underscores the seriousness of sin and the holiness of God.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
