Sunday, February 13, 2022. James 4:4-10 | "Submit Yourselves"

The spiritual conflict brought about by our sin is entirely avoidable. By the grace of God, we can resist the devil, and he will flee! But first, we must do what God will not do for us. We must submit ourselves to God. In this sermon, we discover what it means to submit to God and obey this command according to Scripture.

Sunday, February 6, 2022. Luke 4:5-7 | "I Will Give All This...If"

Sunday, January 30, 2022. Job 1:1-12 | "Does Job Fear God For No Reason?"

This sermon continues a preaching series collected around the theme of Spiritual Conflict. In this series, we're looking first at the three places the Devil speaks in Holy Scripture, knowing that our enemy is repetitive, not creative, so we are not ignorant of his designs.

The Devil spoke first about God in the Garden of Eden to the woman. "Did God actually say...?"

His voice is heard again in this Wisdom book of the Old Testament named Job. Here the Devil speaks, not to Job about God, but to God about Job.

What makes Job a fascinating case study on Spiritual Conflict is that Job is not part of this discussion that involves him. Therefore, he doesn't have a say in the matter.

We'll give thought to what it means to trust God when God leaves us in the dark with unanswered questions. We'll also ask if some spiritual conflict might be unnecessary? Finally, we'll consider how the enemy attempts to control us through possessions and what we can do to guard against this pitfall.

This message preaches from Job 1:1-12. It is part of a preaching series about Spiritual Conflict. The title of this sermon: "Does Job Fear God For No Reason?"

Sunday, January 23, 2022. Genesis 3:1-8 | "Did God Actually Say...?"

If we are not experiencing spiritual conflict, then we are not engaged in the work of the Word! Conflict of a spiritual nature is inevitable when we obey the commands of our Savior. Through our obedience as witnesses for Christ, we will be confronting all manner of sin with the message of Gospel truth.

This sermon introduces a new preaching series on Spiritual Conflict by looking at the first words of the Devil spoken in Scripture.

Listen as the Devil casts doubt on the truth of God's character and Word, and let's discover together what God actually says as we wake up and gear up for spiritual conflict.

This message preaches from Genesis 3:1-8. It begins a new preaching series on Spiritual Conflict. The title of this sermon: "Did God Actually Say...?"

Sunday, January 16, 2022. John 17:24-26 | "With Me Where I Am"

This message completes an expository preaching series through John 17. If this series has helped you grow in your faith or has led you to obey the Lord somehow, I would love to hear from you. You may contact me directly by visiting PastorChristopher.com. 

In this text, at the conclusion of this prayer, Jesus makes a gracious request related to His presence. 

While we are familiar with Jesus' promise to be present with us always, here Jesus prays the opposite -  not that He be present with us, but rather that we might be present with Him, to see His glory, and know the eternal love of the Father.

At the conclusion of this prayer, Jesus unites His will, His knowledge, and His obedience to His Father.

This message preaches from John 17:24-26. It concludes a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father.'" The title of this sermon: "With Me Where I Am." 

Sunday, January 9, 2022. John 17:20-23 | "For Those Who Will Believe"

In this text, Jesus prays for disciples beyond the eleven gathered around Him - His disciples of the future. We learn that Christ's Church is much bigger than one gathering at one time and one place. Instead, Jesus prays for His followers across all time to be one, to show the world the truth about Him and His Father's love.

Listen to Jesus speak about the soon-to-be-saved, the success of the sent, and the stewardship of the saints for the salvation of souls!

This message preaches from John 17:20-23. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father.'" The title of this sermon is "For Those Who Will Believe."

Sunday, January 2, 2022. John 17:17-19 | "Sanctify Them" (A New Year's Sermon)

At the beginning of each new year, we evaluate a "vision" through personal goals or corporate strategy. We dream about who we hope to be and what we hope to accomplish in a short span of one year. Leaders of local church congregations strive to articulate a clear vision too, but the result is often secular, not sanctified. 

In this sermon, we stop to ask an all-important question: What is Christ's vision for His Church? Two simple answers emerge through this unfolding prayer of Jesus. 

May this message encourage you to evaluate your new year's vision in light of God's revealed Word. 

This message preaches from John 17:17-19. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father.'" The title of this sermon is "Sanctify Them."
