Speaker: Chaz Austin

On Ordination Sunday we slow down and look at the kind of leadership Jesus calls great. In John 13 the Lord takes a towel and shows elders and churches what real greatness looks like. This message walks through three “towels” for everyday ministry: the towel of smallness from John 3:30, the towel of spikenard from John 12:3, and the towel of service from John 13:14. We also hear Paul’s warning to shepherds in Acts 20, Ezekiel’s rebuke of failed shepherds, and Peter’s call to humble oversight in 1 Peter 5. It is practical, church focused, and ready for leadership training or elder appointments.

Scriptures: John 13:1-15; John 3:30; John 12:1-8; Acts 20:28-31; Ezekiel 34:1-10; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Mark 10:42-45; Philippians 2:5-8; 1 Thessalonians 5:12-14; Hebrews 13:17-18.

If This Were the Last Sermon I Would Ever Preach: I Would One Last Time Preach Jesus.

From Acts 8:35, we trace the sweeping story of Christ-Prophesied in Isaiah 53, Proclaimed to the crowds, Identified as the Son of God, Ostracized by men, Crucified for our sins, Risen on the third day, and Glorified at the right hand of God. Along the way we hear an excerpt from “That’s My King,” reflect on living water that truly satisfies (John 4:14), and respond to the gospel with the humility of Acts 2:37-41.

Key texts: Acts 8:35; 2 Cor. 3:18; Matthew 4:25; Matthew 7:28; Matthew 16:16; John 8:48; John 10:33; 1 Cor 1:23; 1 Cor. 2:2; Acts 2:32; 1 Cor. 15:1-4; Acts 2:36; 1 Tim 3:16; Gal 3:1.

Couples want connection yet keep missing each other in the moments that matter. This sermon walks through Genesis 3 to expose three roots of communication breakdowns and shows how the gospel heals them. Learn to listen with wisdom, order your longings under God, and replace blame with grace-filled speech.

Key texts include Genesis 3, Mark 4:15 and 23, Proverbs 18:13 and 21, James 1:19 and 3:6, Ephesians 4:29 and 31-32, and 1 Peter 3:7. Practical tools are built in such as mirroring, brief prayer pauses, and a simple speech filter that keeps conversations truthful, loving, necessary, and timely.

Ideal for marriages, families, and small groups. Includes a clear path to respond to Christ through hearing, believing, repenting, confessing, and being baptized with passages provided.

When life shouts through pain, Paul teaches us how to look past what is seen and fix our gaze on what is eternal. This message traces three contrasts: Internals, Incomparables, and Eternals, to show how God renews the inner person, outweighs present suffering with a true weight of glory, and anchors us beyond the tent of this body. Along the way we connect John 14 to the face of Christ, explore the Spirit’s guarantee, and swap fear for courage as we walk by faith, not by sight. If you need fresh courage in grief, uncertainty, or weakness, this sermon will help you see the Father by looking at Jesus.

How does a church honor Christ’s work in people without slipping into flattery or favoritism? This message walks through 2 Corinthians, Acts 18, and the elder qualifications to show a biblical path for affirmation, commendation, and transparent leadership. You’ll hear practical guardrails, a Barnabas case study, and a simple framework members can use as they prayerfully participate in congregational input.

Key texts: 2 Corinthians 3:1–3; 10:12,18; Acts 18:24–28; Romans 12:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:12–13; 1 Timothy 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9; Proverbs 27:2; 2 Corinthians 8:21; Matthew 6:1–4.
