Church of the Resurrection West Sermons

In this sermon, Pastor Jason Gant continues the Words of Life sermon series on the Ten Commandments through the eyes of Jesus. This week's topic is the seventh commandment: "Do not commit adultery." What does fidelity look like for Christians in relationship with God and with others?

The commandment to not kill seems like it ought to be one of the more straightforward commandments, but there is more there than meets the eye. Pastor Adam considers what this might mean when seen through the eyes of Jesus in regards to the violence in our society today.

"Honor your father and your mother." It sounds so simple. But when we really dig into it, this is about a lot more than making sure teenagers listen to their parents. How do we properly respect our parents as we (and they) age? Or when they have treated us in ways unworthy of respect? How do we care for the elderly among us who do not have living children? Pastor Adam addresses all of these questions and more in this sermon.

For many of us, one of the most challenging of the Ten Commandments is the command to observe Sabbath. In this sermon, Pastor Adam Hamilton considers the reasons rest is such an important part of our lives.

What does it mean to treat the name of God as if it is of no signficance? In this sermon, Pastor Adam Hamilton challenges us to live up to the name "Christian."

Pastor Adam Hamilton continues the sermon series "Words of Life" by considering the second of the Ten Commandments: "Do not make an idol for yourself."

In the first message of the series "Words of Life: Reading the Ten Commandments Through the Eyes of Jesus," Pastor Adam Hamilton asks us to confront the other gods we worship in our lives. Even good things can become gods, so we have to be careful to keep those good things subordinated to God.

In response to recent gun violence that claimed the life of one our members, as well as the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, Pastor Adam Hamilton preaches on how God grieves in these situations and on how we as Christians ought to respond.

Building Christian community happens best in small groups, learning and living and loving together. In this sermon, Pastor Jason Gant challenges us to prioritize every day discipleship in our lives.

This week's sermon is from by Hayden Hurtig, a student in our youth group. In it, he challenges us to serve the people around us before we serve ourselves.
