Oak Hill Church Sermon Podcast

What are we called to do as believers?Nothing to earn our salvation, but plenty, after we are saved, as we demonstrate Christ's love to others.

In Titus 3:1-8, Paul shows Titus that Christians are people who were just as lost, just as sinful, just as broken as their neighbors, but then God graciously saved them and made them new. And now, because they’ve been transformed, they should be eager to devote themselves to good works and to cultivate a reputation in their community of gentleness, faithfulness, and perfect courtesy.

In I Samuel, we see an example of how to live in a Godly way when things aren't going the way you think they should. Hannah exemplifies the fruit of the spirit as she deals with a number of trials.

Jesus is the key that unlocks every blessing that God has to offer.

Words divide Christians more than anything else. In this sermon, Patrick reminds us of what James says: 1) What guards the unity of the church is us guarding our tongues and 2) We guarantee the unity of the church by making the law of God our standard.

Apart from Jesus, we can only hide from God, minimize our sin, or try to come up with some way to atone for our failures on our own (spoiler alert: that never works!). But in Jesus, we have an advocate. He knows our mess, has cleaned it up, and grants us continued access into his Father’s presence.

If Jesus’ death was the end of the story, there would be no point to Christianity. But Jesus rose from the dead, conquering sin and death and guaranteeing all of his promises for those who trust in him.

On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem, staking his claim as the long-expected King from the line of David. Contrary to expectation, he came not to conquer but instead to bear the curse for his broken, rebellious people.

The good news of the gospel is for everyone, giving us our only true hope for eternal life.

Oak Hill Church is Here for the Good of the Nations. Jesus’ command to take the gospel to all peoples is for all Christians. Some will go—the rest are called to faithfully send them. 3 John 5-8 shows us what it means as a local church to faithfully love and support those who go out for the sake of the name of Jesus.
