Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this sermon, Guest Preacher Edgardo Rosa walks through Matthew 18:7-9. In this passage, Jesus teaches his disciples about how it is better to lose a limb for the sake of holiness than to be pristine and end up in the fire of eternal torment. Holiness is hard -- but it is worth it. Listen and be challenged to consider your commitment to holiness for the sake of communion with Jesus.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Mark 10:17-31 and the Rich Young Ruler. He gets two minutes with Jesus and he is able to ask Jesus one question. And he asks a great question -- What must I do to inherit eternal life? It's the trillion dollar question. In this passage, we look at the Question he asks, the Answer Jesus gives, and the Explanation that follows. Listen and be challenged to see how you can inherit eternal life.

In this sermon, guest preacher John Ames looks at Mark 4 and 5 to see that Jesus is God, the true Messiah who is greater than everything. In these chapters, we see one long scene in two parts. In the first scene, Jesus is able to calm the storm showing his power over the natural. In the second scene, Jesus is able to calm the demon-possessed man, showing his power over the supernatural. Who is this man? That is the question Mark 4 and 5 seeks to answer. Listen and be challenged to answer the question for yourself.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at the Parable of the Soils from Mark 4. It's early in Jesus' ministry and there are a number of varying responses to him: the curiosity of the crowds, the anger of the religious leaders, the full allegiance of his new disciples. In this midst of this, Jesus tells the parable of the soils to show that embracing Jesus is a matter of the heart. Those who truly embrace Jesus will hear the word of Christ, receive it and live lives of abundant fruitfulness.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at the Luke 24:13-35 where two despairing disciples are headed down a seven mile road to return home after the crucifixion of Jesus. All hope is lost until they meet someone on that road. Listen and be encouraged to hear who they meet and how they find hope again.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at KLuke 18:35-19:10. In this story we see two men who are polar opposites. One is an oppressed blind man -- and the other is a blind oppressor. Both are lost. Both need Jesus. And fortunately for them -- Jesus seeks and saves the lost.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at the end of First Peter. The apostle encourages Christians to stand firm in the true grace of God. How do we do that? Peter gives us three final directions to stand firm in our faith and endure to the end. Listen and be challenged to stand firm.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at the essentials of godly leadership from 1 Peter 5:1-5. The pastors of the church are to lead with humility, and gentleness as shepherds, not as tyrants. Under this kind of servant leadership, Jesus is honored and the church thrives. Listen and be encouraged that God's word provides the guidance we need for leadership.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at 1 Peter 4:12-19 as Peter picks up the topic of suffering. Just as the refiner heats gold to its melting point in order to purify it, so the Lord brings heat to our lives to purify our faith. In this passage, Peter has five lessons to help faithfully endure to the end. Listen and be encouraged to know that God loves you and has a plan for your suffering.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at 1 Peter 4:1-11. How do Christians live in turbulent times? How do we live for the will of God instead of buckling under the strain and stress of peer pressure from the world? What should fill the everyday stuff of our lives? Peters brings the reality of the gospel to these questions. Listen and be challenged to live for the will of God despite turbulence.
