Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

We Believe || He Will Come Again to Judge

In this sermon, Pastor Jeremy explores the return of Jesus. We believe that Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead. In our current culture, is there a more controversial idea than judgment? We seek judgment-free zones. Yet, as Christians, worship a God who is also judge. There's a finality to God's judgment that we would often rather overlook. But, what would a world absent from God's judgment look like? Such a world would progress in pain, suffering, violence, and wrongs that are never made right. In this sermon, we open the Bible to see what God's word has to say about the second coming of Jesus Christ.

We Believe || Ascended into Heaven & Seated with the Father

In this sermon, Kevin explores the ascension of Jesus. We believe that Jesus ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. The story of Jesus' triumph doesn't end at the resurrection. After spending 40 days sharing about the Kingdom of God, Jesus left his disciples and ascended into heaven to his rightful place of authority at the right hand of the Father. Before Jesus left the earth, he gave a promise that his disciples would have power from the Holy Spirit to be his witnesses.

We Believe || On the Third Day He Rose Again

In this sermon, Pastor Clint explores the resurrection of Jesus. We believe that Jesus not only died, but that he also rose again. If not for Jesus' resurrection, his death would be meaningless. Jesus' resurrection is the proof of God's faithfulness to the promise of his redemptive work on the cross. In 1 Corinthians 15:14, the Apostle Paul goes as far as to say, "If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is futile and your faith is empty." Jesus' resurrection holds the key to our hope as the church.

We Believe || Died, Buried, Descended to the Dead

In this sermon, Pastor Clint explores the death of Jesus. We believe that Jesus died, was buried, and descended to the dead. Jesus died a real death. The Scriptures point to death as the inevitable result of sin. Not only did Jesus drink the cup of God's wrath for our sin on the cross, he also experienced sin's ultimate curse—death. The finality of death frightens us. We live our lives trying to avoid death. But Jesus faced death head on for us to bring us life.

We Believe || He Suffered and Was Crucified

In this Sermon, Pastor Jeremy explores the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus. We believe that Jesus suffered under Pontius Pilate and was crucified. The crucifixion of Jesus is a historical event that changed the world. Jesus' suffering and eventual death on the cross were not simply a tragic, unjust ending to his life. Something happened on the cross. Jesus' death accomplished something. What happened on the cross?

We Believe || The Holy Spirit & The Virgin Mary (Incarnation)

In this sermon, Pastor Clint explores the incarnation of Jesus. We believe that Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. This line made it into the creed and remains a tenet of Christian doctrine because how Jesus was conceived and to whom he was born matters. Listen as Pastor Clint expands on the significance of these events by focusing on two passages of Scripture—Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 1:26-38.

We Believe || His Only Son, Our Lord

In this sermon, Pastor Clint explored the divinity of Jesus in Hebrews 1:1-14. Here we see the relationship, the reign, and the role of the Son. Christ the is supreme expression of the Father's love to us. He's the reigning King. And he is the only one who can save us from our sins. Is Jesus your Lord? There's no greater question for you to honestly answer today.

We Believe || I Believe in Jesus Christ

In this sermon, Pastor Clint explores the humanity of Christ. To believe in Jesus Christ, we need to know who he is. Who is Jesus? We'll look at John 1:1-18 as we peel back the layers to the answer. The Apostle John says that Jesus is God who became flesh. Jesus is both fully God and fully human. Because Jesus walked the earth fully human, we have an accessible God, who relates to his people.

We Believe || Creator of Heaven and Earth

In this sermon, Kevin looks at the first chapter of Genesis where God is on display as Creator. The act of creation in Genesis isn't merely a series of events that took place; the very act itself reveals truth about who God is. God’s creation of heaven and earth shows us his power, his person, and his purposes, in such a way that the only right response from his people is the praise of his glorious name.

We Believe || God, The Father Almighty

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Psalm 24 and Romans 8:14-17, along with various other passages that help us see who God, The Father Almighty is. God is both Almighty and Father. He's incomprehensible, yet he's chosen to reveal himself to us. When we say God is Almighty we point to his omnipotence, his omnipresence, and his omniscience. When we say he is Father, we point to the humble relationship he has chosen to have with his people through Jesus.
