Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this teaching, Pastor Kevin walks through Psalm 46 to find refuge in God alone. We are well aware that these are unstable times. The world as we know it is giving way. In all of this, our good and sovereign God invites us to find safety in him. When we trust in our sovereign God not only find the strength to endure trials, but also find gladness in the midst of them. "The Lord of hosts is with us! The God of Jacob is our fortress!"

In this stand-alone teaching, Pastor Clint walks through 1 Peter 1:3-9 on the topic of suffering. Listen and be challenged to consider the reality, the results, and the relief from suffering as we are graced by various trials.

Believe and Live || I Was Blind Now I See

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at John 9:1-41. John 9:1-41. A man born blind receives miraculous healing from Jesus. His blindness was not a result of any particular sin, but a part of God's plan to display the power and grace of Christ. Instead of glorifying God for this work, the religious leaders continue to oppose Jesus and ridicule the healed man. This account is a picture of the gospel: those blind to spiritual realities are given sight through Jesus Christ.

Believe and Live || The Truth Will Set You Free

In this sermon, Pastor Jeremy preaches on John 8:31-59. In this passage, we see that Jesus alone can give us the true freedom we need because he alone possesses the truth that frees us. Jesus shows us that such freedom doesn't come to us by any earthly heritage, but by faith in Christ, the great "I Am". Only the gospel sets us free, and if the Son sets us free, we are free indeed!

Believe and Live || The Light of the World

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at John 8:12-30. Jesus gives his second, “I am” statement - “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” As the religious leaders continue to question his identity and authority, Jesus shows us that we have good reason to believe His testimony. As we embrace him as the light, we must also beware of spiritual darkness that blinds us from the truth.

Believe and Live || Rivers of Living Water

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at John 7:1-52. As Jesus continues to teach about the grace of God offered in the Gospel we see numerous different responses. His own brothers don’t believe him. Some are curious while others are confused. The simmering hatred of the religious leaders continues to grow, while Nicodemus seems to be growing in his understanding of Jesus, coming to his defense. In the midst of varying opinions of his identity, Jesus again gives a clear invitation; “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”

Believe and Live || The Gospel of Grace

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at the end of John 6. Jesus continues his Bread of Life discourse, hearing and answering objections from the crowds. Jesus reveals how the Father sovereignly works to bring his people to Jesus and keep them until the last day while the Spirit gives life to the flesh. Salvation is a work of God from start to finish. Only those who believe, feasting on the bread of life, will live forever. Will we, like the hearers of Jesus in this passage, turn away from him? Or will we, with Simon Peter, embrace even the most difficult teachings of Christ, knowing that he alone has the words of eternal life?

Believe and Live || The Bread of Life

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at John 6:22-40. In this passage, Jesus speaks directly to the crowds who were awed by his many signs, including the feeding of the 5,000. As Jesus teaches, he directly confronts selfish motives and points his hearers to the proper response to his work: belief. To believe in Jesus is to receive the bread of life and have our souls eternally satisfied.

Believe and Live || The Provision of Jesus

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at John 6:1-21. Jesus performs two more miraculous signs; the feeding of the 5,000 and walking on water in the storm. As he continues to minister to others it seems that they still don't comprehend who he is. Jesus didn't come to merely bring provision and power; he is the provision and power of God.

Believe and Live || What Are We to Make of Jesus?

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at John 5:18-47. The opposition to Jesus from the Jewish religious authorities has reached a high point. They consider the actions and claims of Jesus as blasphemy against the one true God. Who does this carpenter from Nazareth think he is to make these claims? In this passage, Jesus teaches us about who He is and what he has done. We see that what we believe, drives our behavior, and ultimately determines who we become.
