Messiah on SermonAudio

This Bible study examines Saul's post-conversion experience in Damascus, highlighting his immediate baptism and bold proclamation that Jesus is the Messiah.

Barnabas plays a pivotal role in vouching for Saul's authenticity to the apostles, facilitating his acceptance into the early church. The study concludes by observing the resulting peace and spiritual growth of the church across Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, emphasizing the balance of reverent fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

In this morning sermon from John 6:15-24, Pastor Rockhill draws the congregation to the central purpose of John's Gospel: that readers would believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and in believing have life in His name. Following the feeding of the five thousand, the crowd sought to seize Jesus and make Him an earthly king, and He withdrew to the mountain to pray while His disciples set out across the sea. Pastor Rockhill unfolds the great sign of Jesus walking on the water in the midst of a violent storm. Drawing on the parallel accounts in Matthew 14 and Mark 6, he shows how this miracle, together with the boat's immediate arrival, confirmed to the disciples that their faith was not misplaced and that Jesus possesses divine power over nature itself. His words, "It is I, do not be afraid," reveal Him as both Son of God and Prince of Peace. The central burden of the message is that Christ draws near to the fearful and anxious to bring His peace, and that believers, indwelt by His Spirit, need not fear the storms of life. Pastor Rockhill also teaches from Jesus' own practice the importance of resting the body and refreshing the soul, especially on the Lord's Day. He closes with a searching application: many today seek a false Jesus who entertains and gratifies earthly desires without calling for repentance. Pastor Rockhill urges each hearer to examine which Jesus they are seeking, pressing them to trust the crucified and risen Christ of the gospel.

IF JESUS FOLLOWED YOUR FACEBOOK.[Would He Recognize You as One of His Followers?] Matthew 5:14–16; Luke 19:10 KJV Would Jesus have a Facebook page? Scripture doesn't answer that question—but it does show us that Jesus went where people were to seek and save the lost. Today, millions gather every day in a digital world. In this message, we as Christians need to examine what our posts, comments, conversations, and online conduct say about the Savior they claim to follow. Social media is only a tool; the heart determines how it is used. The greater question isn't whether Jesus would have Facebook, but: If Jesus looked at mine, would He recognize me as one of His followers?

This sermon examines the baptism and temptation of Jesus in Mark 1:9-13, presenting three key aspects of His coming that demand total devotion. First, Jesus fulfills the Old Testament expectations and the preaching of John the Baptist by arriving as the promised Messiah from Nazareth. Second, He is approved by heaven, as the Father declares Him the beloved Son and the Spirit descends upon Him, anointing Him for ministry. Third, He passes every test in the wilderness, demonstrating His perfect righteousness and identifying with humanity's struggles without sin. The preacher emphasizes that these events reveal Jesus as the unique Savior who satisfies all needs for redemption, compelling believers to place their complete trust in Him.
