Charles River Church - Sermon Audio

Matthew 1:18-25 -

This week we begin a new Advent sermon series looking at the road of faith, obedience, and God's sovereign hand that led to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. As we follow the road to Bethlehem we will also see God's hand in our personal faith journey.

Revelation 3:14-22 -

Comfort often serves as an enemy of our faith. In our final week of Letters & Lampstands we look at Jesus' words to the church at Laodicea, a church that had grown comfortable and complacent. #LettersandLampstands

Revelation 3:7-13 -

It's easy to feel insignificant and powerless in a world that is increasingly adverse to our faith. In week 6 of Letters & Lampstands we look at some encouraging words from Jesus to the church in the city of Philadelphia. This church was seen as weak, but Jesus didn't feel that way. #LettersandLampstands

Revelation 3:1-6 -

As followers of Christ, it's important to keep a close watch on our spiritual health. In week 5 of Letters & Lampstands we look at some heavy words from Jesus to the church in the city of Sardis. His accusation was that the church is dead. This church was known for greatness, but Jesus knew that their heart and their reputation did not match. #LettersandLampstands

Revelation 2:18-29 -

We should expect threats to our faith outside the church, but threats from within should be extremely alarming. In week 4 of Letters & Lampstands we look at Jesus' words to the church in the city of Thyatira. This church was growing in the work of the Lord, but had a real threat in their midst that needed addressing. #LettersandLampstands

Revelation 2:12-17 -

In week 3 of Letters & Lampstands we look at Jesus' words to the church in the city of Pergamum. Pergamum had suffered the brutal death of their pastor and remained faithful, but there were a few who compromised their faith. #LettersandLampstands

Revelation 2:8-11 -

In week 2 of Letters & Lampstands we look at Jesus' words to the church in the city of Smyrna. Smyrna was a persecuted church, and this sermon and calls us to prepare for faithfulness when various kinds of persecution come our way. #LettersandLampstands

Revelation 2:1-7 -

This week we kick off a new sermon series that we're calling Letters & Lampstands. For the next 7 weeks we'll be looking at what Jesus had to say to 7 churches in Asia minor. Christ's words will resonate with us today as we seek to live a life of faith in a city full of unique challenges. #LettersandLampstands

Romans 12:1-2 -

Where does your mind go when we say the word "worship"? Is it a genre of music? Is it something done inside the walls of a church? Is it more? This Sunday our Discipleship Pastor Kevin Marando helps us to rethink worship.

Luke 22:24-30 -

What ladder are you seeking to climb? Corporate? Social? This week we consider the counter-cultural example of Jesus who, instead of climbing, constantly lowered and gave of himself for the good of others.
