Saint Joseph Church of Christ Sermons

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the House of Bread. He is the Bread of Life and the Bread of the Presence, Immanuel. We take the fulfillment of His promise with us when we take communion, sitting at the table with Him.

Mary bore the hope of the world in her womb through the Holy Spirit. Though she questioned how it could be possible, she did not question whether God's power could fulfill His promise. God's given promises are promises to believe.

God will always make a way for His promises to be fulfilled and for our eyes to be opened to His glory. He is the Way Maker. Jesus is the Way. John the Baptist was the Way Preparer, and we are the Way Walkers. Will you accept His promise and step onto the way of peace?

Our series "Keeping Revelation" concludes with a deep encouragement to engage with the revelation of Jesus Christ, opening our hearts and minds to the reality of hope, restoration, and redemption.

Yes, wrath is coming. But before God's wrath, there is God's love. And His love comes after His wrath, as well. Jesus Christ is coming. Don't wait until He arrives to bend your knee, to submit your life to Him, and to hold on to His holy name. Accept His free gift of salvation!

There is a reason for God's wrath. It's rebellion - rebellion that defiles and defames His love, compassion, and great patience. Rebellion started with Satan, but our rebellion is no different. God's wrath is being stored up. Eventually it will also be poured out, conquering rebellion and sin.

Pastor Mark shares the wonder of God's throne room and connects it to deeper symbolism throughout the Old Testament.

The seven letters to the seven churches concludes with Jesus' words to Laodicea, a church that reflected the city's culture rather than zealous pursuit of Jesus. The letter reveals evidences & fruits of cultural Christianity, as well as, Jesus' remedy to spur them on to zeal unless they choose to remain lukewarm.

The one who opens doors no one can close has opened the door of faith. He invites you to walk through, keep His word and boldly bear His name.

He also shuts doors no one can open. If we keep His word, bear His name, and keep His command to endure, He will enclose us in His kingdom in the time of testing. He keeps us as we draw closer to Him through the open door of faith.

The church in Sardis had a slumbering spirit. A slumbering spirit is deliriously aware of its need, but lacks discernment, is ignorant of God's presence, and remains satisfied with its own results. It is not watchful, does not persevere, and does not anticipate the coming Lord with faithfulness.

Slumbering spirits promote their reputation in the world while neglecting their representation of Christ.
