Blue Ridge Community Church Sermons episodes:

11.17.2014
First Things First (Acts 17:29-31)
When people say “turn to the Lord,” what do they mean? Idols are a thing of the past, right? Surely there are no idols of the 21st century; right? Wrong. Many idols are different in 2014,...
11.09.2014
Time To Act (Acts 17:22-28)
Sometimes, people can seem so big and God can seem so distant. Acts 17:22-28 reminds us that the true God is very near and very involved in our daily lives. Those who love him have an important role...
11.02.2014
Time to Speak (Acts 17:22-28)
There is a time for silence. There are also times where remaining silent would be the most hurtful, hateful and unloving thing to do. Join us as we hear from Acts 17 and learn about the time to speak.
10.26.2014
Shine Out (Acts 17:16-21)
When God is in us, we see the world differently. When God is in us, our lives look different to the world. Are you consistently making the decision to live for Jesus? Acts 17 gives us a great example of...
10.19.2014
Priests! Each and Every One of Us (Acts 17:13-15)
Christian leaders are important, so is every other person who calls on the name of the Lord. Leader or not, we all have a part to play in honoring Jesus in this world. Do you live like your part is...
10.12.2014
Be Saturated By the Word! (Acts 17:10-12)
We can dabble in God and take little bites of his Word. Or, we can be all in. Be all in with God’s Word! Better yet, let God’s Word be all over your life!
10.05.2014
What It Means to be Free
There is help for the darkest, most painful and confusing situations in our lives. Take the help, find freedom that lasts.
09.07.2014
There is a King! Follow Him. (Acts 17:1-3)
How can we worship God if we don’t understand the implications of his grace? How can we share the Gospel if we haven't understood what's actually good about the “Good News?” God, our king, calls us to faithfulness with our minds. ...
08.31.2014
Follow The Leader! (Acts 16:35-40)
Authority is a bad word for many people. What does God say about the matter? How should we -who have a perfect leader, Jesus Christ- live with earthly leaders? Acts 16 gives us an example to follow; and it leads...
08.24.2014
Choose Holy Surrender (Acts 16:25-34)
Are you a worshiper? God wants us to cultivate a life of worship that takes us beyond Sunday morning and into every hour; in celebration or trial. Join us as we hear from Acts 16:25-34…
08.17.2014
Choose Christ, Choose Life (Acts 16:19-24)
Do you connect your choice to follow Christ with the way you live every day? Choosing to follow Jesus is a choice to see better and to live differently. This is Sunday's sermon from Acts 16:19-24.
08.10.2014
Go! Freedom is Waiting!
"Go," Jesus said, "make disciples!" So much is wrapped up in that statement! Making disciples isn't a religious event; it's the overhaul of life so that the Spirit of God begins to reign. Acts 16 shows the freedom God brings...
08.03.2014
I Give It All! Part 2 (Acts 16:6-12)
We tend to hold onto things that we love. Our love for God is often shown by what we give up. How much of you is yielded to the King of Kings? Will you give him your plans? ...
07.27.2014
I Give It All! (Acts 16:1-5)
What do personal identity, martyrdom and evangelism numbers have in common? Way too often, the answer is "self." God's Word shows us the remedy for this common problem of putting ourselves before Jesus Christ. Join us as...
07.20.2014
Engage! For God and For All People! (Acts 15:32-41)
So often, the work of the Lord often gets forgotten, or more often, completely left for others. Acts 15 helps combat some of the common lies that keep us on the sidelines of our faith. Join us in listening…
06.29.2014
We Are Built With Joy (Acts 15:30-35)
Joy doesn't have to be an accident or rare surprise. Acts 15 served us as a great reminder of what to rejoice in. Join us as we hear from God's Word, some characteristics of joy. Also, check...
06.23.2014
There is a Path And It is Good (Acts 15:19-29)
God's ways are different than ours and when we follow Christ, it means change; but the change is so good. Join us as we hear the call to live all for Jesus in freedom and purity from Acts 15.
06.15.2014
We Do Not Stand Alone (Acts 15:1-19)
When the going gets tough, where do you go? The early Church looked to faithful leaders. The question is not if we need leaders, it's what kind of leaders do we need? Acts 15 gives us a great example of...
06.08.2014
The Church on Fire for God is Faithful (Acts 14:24-28)
God is faithful! We spent the first 15 min. of this sermon hearing impromptu testimonies of God's faithfulness to people in the congregation. Acts 14 records the example of two faithful men. Will you allow God to make you faithful...
05.25.2014
This is a Passion to Live For (Acts 14:19-23)
What is the driving force in your life? So many people are looking for that one, big purpose to live for. So few people have a passion that would move them to serve beyond the norm. Do you? Acts 14:19-23...
05.18.2014
Stay Focused, Stay Faithful (Acts 14:8-18)
Paul and Barnabas weren't just missionaries, they were examples for all followers of Christ -not just missionaries, but all those who belong to Jesus. They lived the calling to stay focused and faithful to Christ despite distractions. Will you?
05.11.2014
Be Useful (Acts 14:1-7)
Christianity is not chiefly about comfort or self-expression. It's the Lord who we serve. So, when we have opportunity, we want to grow to be useful to the Lord. Join us as we hear from Acts 14, and Paul and...
05.04.2014
Where Is Your Trust? (Acts 13:44-52)
Where we put our trust is not just a matter of what we say, but what we do. Where do you put your trust? In Jesus? Does your life show your answer to be true? Join us in Acts 13:44-52...
04.27.2014
Where is He? What is He Doing? (Revelation 20:11-15)
It is easy to picture Jesus in His earthly ministry, or even rising from the tomb. But that's not where He is now. Where He is now makes a big difference in our lives and can change our faith and...
04.20.2014
God Raised Him From the Dead (Acts 13:13-43)
Chocolates and bunnies and eternity-altering, life-giving, earth-quaking events, oh my! Christ's resurrection has meaning if we're willing to see it and live it. Join us for the sermon from Sunday, April 20, 2014; Easter Sunday. Christ is...
04.13.2014
Don't Be Fooled (Acts 13:4-12)
At the first Palm Sunday, the majesty of the King who rode on the donkey was beyond what eyes alone could tell. God is still surprising people and where the Spirit of the Lord shows up today might surprise you!...
04.06.2014
Speak Lord; We Will Listen
The voice of God entering the chaos of men brings life and peace…but are we really listening? Will you act when you hear? Join us as we hear how God speaks to people, even today!
03.30.2014
Dress Like a Bride (Acts 12:18-25)
The Church (all who have ever been redeemed by their Savior, Jesus), is called the Bride of Christ, and her future gown is the righteous actions done in this life. Join us as we hear from God's Word about...
03.23.2014
Walk With Me (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Such a simple phrase: "trust in the Lord," but it carries with it such vast meaning and implications. Are you trusting in the Lord, with all of your heart? Listen in with us as Elliott Knoch preaches from Proverbs 3:5-6.
03.16.2014
Getting Grace (Genesis 22)
God’s story of grace is throughout the Scriptures and it’s also written on the lives of those who trust Him. Will you draw near to the Lord when it’s hardest? There’s a special gift available for those who do. Join...
03.09.2014
It's Eternity for Me (Acts 12:1-19)
When things seem out of hand and all that surrounds us is out of whack, there is a privilege and a responsibility unique to Christ-followers, do you embrace it? Do you live it? Join us as we are moved...
03.02.2014
Anything But Average (Acts 11:19-30)
Ministry faithfulness is not just for super-saints, pastors, teachers or missionaries. It’s for every one who worships and loves Jesus.
02.23.2014
But the People! But the Lord. (Acts 11:1-18)
People can make life really difficult sometimes, "them" and "us." In Christ, we have a way to live above the challenges of difficult people; Acts 11:1-18 gives us an example of what that looks like and the results are...
02.16.2014
Suffering With the Hope of Glory (Romans 8:18)
The hard reality of life is that suffering is inevitable. We don't have to suffer needlessly, though. As we follow Christ, we can suffer with the hope of God's glory. Join us as we listen.
02.09.2014
God Alone is Center (Acts 10:24-48)
No gadgets, technology; not pictures, friends, family, jobs, problems, successes, ministry labors or even our very selves. No, none of these things is the joyful center or glory of our lives. God alone is the center! Listen in with...
02.02.2014
Dig In! (Acts 10:17-23)
What can we learn about a faithful life from buried treasure? The answer might surprise you but not after you see Peter’s example in Acts 10. Join us as we listen!
01.19.2014
You Are Not Your Own (Acts 10:9-16)

01.12.2014
When God Moves Devotion Ignites (Acts 10:1-8)
What do we have that the Lord needs? Nothing. What do we have that the Lord wants? Everything! Devotion is not just a little 300 word happy thought to read before getting into our day. Devotion is kindling that the...
01.05.2014
Search! The Church on Fire Finds Hearts for God (Acts 9:32-43)
Who goes to the threatened and the distant? In our culture, it's the Fire Dept. and Rescue Squads who are trained to go. What about for spiritual matters of life and death? The plans of God for...
12.29.2013
The Time For Change is Now. Live Fully for Jesus Christ!
New Year, new me, right? Not necessarily - unless God is at work! This message was distributed as a workbook/packet to be completed together on Sunday morning as a church. It is available as a PDF to...

The Light Has Come, Rejoice! (Acts 9:1-9)

Access Granted! Part 2 (Acts 8:32-40)
Cave fish and hard hearts and God's grace, Oh my! Nothing is more important than our access to God. It is closed. But grace has the final word.
11.17.2013
Access Granted! The Church Ablaze is Available to the Lord (Acts 8:26-31)

11.10.2013

A Church Ablaze With God's Fire Benefits the Community (Acts 8:4-8)
