Coastline Covenant - Sermons

Peter’s confession in Matthew 16 reveals why publicly naming Jesus brings clarity, allegiance, and a happiness bigger than our circumstances.

Matthew 16:13-20

The thief on the cross shows us that saving faith can be simple, but Jesus’ parable of the sower shows us how faith grows. This sermon explores what it means to become good soil so that faith can take root, endure, and bear fruit over time.

We think we see and perceive God, ourselves and others clearly. Yet scripture continually reveals that we don't see clearly and we need help to do so. Seeing God, ourselves and others clearly comes from conviction brought by the Holy Spirit. Come join us as we learn how desperately we need the Holy Spirit's conviction and what it produces within us. 

Isaiah 6:1-8, Luke 5:8

God meets a spiritually restless Ethiopian official on the road, showing how He calls people toward Jesus, removes every barrier to belonging, and turns searching into lasting joy

Acts 8:26-40

Jesus meets Zacchaeus not as a villain to be condemned, but as a lost man to be seen, named, and welcomed, revealing that grace always moves toward us before we change. This sermon explores how the Holy Spirit draws, convicts, and transforms hearts, showing that no one is too hidden, successful, or broken to be found by Jesus.

Pastor Garrick opens with a statement regarding the recent killing in Minnesota before shifting to his planned sermon.

Luke 15: 11-32

Last week we focused on the younger son whose sin was out in the open for all to see. The shock in the story was not his sin, but the extravagant love of his father. This week, as we focus on the older son, we are shocked to see that even in his obedience, he is further from the Father than his brother. Come find out how this obedient older son is more distant, desperate, and in greater danger than his wayward brother.  

Jesus tells the story of the prodigal son to reveal that sin is not just breaking rules, it is breaking relationship with the Father. And yet the heart of the story is not the failure of the son, but the reckless, pursuing love of a Father who runs to welcome us home.

Luke 15:13-24

In week 2 of our sermon series on Luke 15, Jesus expands his parable on lostness in his teaching about a lost coin. His desire is to explain his love for lost people, and expand our commitment to reaching them with him.

Jesus tells three different parables to communicate the state of our fallen nature. His first story, of a lost sheep, emphasizes how easily we wander from the path, and how committed he is to bringing us home. Pastor Shawn takes us to Luke 15 as we begin our new sermon series.
