The Saints:: King (Palm Sunday)

Ephesians 4:1-16

By Robert Krumrey

It’s Palm Sunday and we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem - the beginning of what Christians call Holy Week. How could Jesus go from being hailed as the messianic King on Sunday to hanging on a Roman cross on Friday? Part of the reason is a misunderstanding of Jesus’ kingship. The crowd that day (and us) tend to think way too small when it comes to King Jesus. Find out more in this sermon about the cosmic scale of Jesus’ kingdom, how it was inaugurated, and how it’s being expressed through the local church of today.

How to judge (and not judge) others

Matthew 7:1-6

By Rob Jenner

Christians today are often criticized for being judgemental. While in some ways we are guilty as charged, in other ways we are called to lovingly call out sin and point people to our Savior. How do we strike this balanced approach? In this sermon from Matthew 7, Jesus equips us for how to judge (and not judge) our fellow brothers and sisters in the church.

Working Out Our Salvation

Philippians 2:12-13

By James Torrey

Why would the Apostle Paul instruct us in Phil 2:12 to “work out our own salvation” and to do so “in fear and trembling”? Hear how God can use some of our most moronic moments to help us understand His word.

The Saints :: Miracle

Ephesians 3:1-13

By Robert Krumrey

The church is more than songs and sermons and an occasional potluck. God is doing something in and through the church that is a miracle. What is this miracle you ask? He is taking disunified humans and using the “unsearchable riches of Christ” to make them one. Find out more about how this happens and what it means for us, a local church of Saints in ATX.

The Saints :: Unified

Ephesians 2:11-22

By Robert Krumrey

God’s plan of making sinners into saints is not just individual but also communal. He is taking a divided (even hostile) humanity and making them into a united (actively loving) humanity. How is this possible and how can I get in on this? Find out in this sermon from the book of Ephesians.

The Saints :: Grace

Ephesians 2:1-10

By Robert Krumrey

Saints were not always saints. Our apprehension and appreciation of what God has done in Christ to make us into saints is helped in this scriptural text with a trip down memory lane. What, or better said, Who were we before we were saints and what did God do to get us here? Find out in this sermon from Ephesians chapter 2.

Ephesians 1:15-23

By Robert Krumrey

Saints get a direct line to God through the work of Jesus on the cross. This is an incredible privilege and can seem a bit daunting when figuring out how to speak with the God who created the universe. Who are we talking to and what are we supposed to be asking for? Find out in this sermon on the prompt, the pattern, and the petitions of prayer.

The Saints :: Bless

Ephesians 1:3-14

By Robert Krumrey

We are Saints! Every genuine Christian is considered a Saint and this new identity of sainthood is given by grace and through faith in Jesus. So now what? The core impulse that comes from the

heart of a Saint is to “bless God”. Find out in this sermon what this behavior of blessing God is and the beliefs that bring it about.

The Saints :: Introduction

Ephesians 1:1,2

By Robert Krumrey

The New Testament book of Ephesians starts with an identification of the sender (Apostle Paul) and the receiver (Saints in Ephesus). How could a local congregation of imperfect sinners be called “saints”? Find out in this sermon the identity of a “saint” and the characteristics of their saintly living.

Devoted :: Fellowship & Prayer

Matthew 10:1-15

By Robert Krumrey

The practices of the Christian faith are not only individual but are also communal. In order to abide in Jesus (see last week’s sermon) fully we not only need to spend time prayerfully reflecting on the Bible, but also need to join Jesus by joining his people in fellowship and mission. Find out more in this sermon how Jesus trained his original twelve disciples (and us) to be a community of missionaries.
