Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin continue our summer series, The Way of Wisdom. Kevin looks at a variety of verses in Proverbs focused on friendship. In a time when loneliness is on the rise, we need friendship more than ever. Listen and be encouraged by the goodnews of the gospel, that God in Christ has befriended sinners and be challenged by the wisdom of proverbs as we consider friendship.

In this sermon, Pastor Sam looks at Money in Proverbs. Money is a powerful tool, but Proverbs teaches that righteousness and a heart that treasures God are far more valuable than riches (Proverbs 10:2-3; 15:16-17). True wealth is found in diligent, honest work and a generous spirit that reflects the character of Christ, who gave Himself freely for us (Proverbs 11:23-28). When we fear the Lord and trust in Him, we are freed from greed and empowered to use money for love, justice, and eternal purposes.

In this sermon, Justin Fung looks at true wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord—a humble, reverent posture that acknowledges God's authority and seeks to live in light of His truth (Proverbs 1:7; 9:10). In contrast to the fool who trusts in himself and rushes into decisions, the wise listen to counsel, walk carefully, and grow through correction (Proverbs 12:15; 14:15; 15:33). Proverbs invites us to find true wisdom in the person and work of Jesus Christ, and by faith in him pursue a lifelong journey of wisdom that shapes our lives.

In this sermon, pastor Clint walks thru Luke 6:37–49. Jesus teaches that true integrity begins with a heart transformed by the gospel. He warns against hypocrisy—judging others while ignoring one’s own sin—and calls for honest self-examination and inner renewal. Only a life built on Christ and his inward transformative work, like a house on a solid foundation, will stand firm in the face of life’s storms.

NOTE: The first minute of this sermon is missing. Pastor Clint begins by telling the story of Jim Elliot and four other missionaries who gave their lives so the Huaorani people would hear the gospel.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Luke 6:24–36. Jesus warns the rich and comfortable that their earthly rewards are fleeting, while calling his followers to love their enemies, do good, and give generously without expecting anything in return. He teaches that true righteousness goes beyond loving those who love you—it reflects God's mercy. Just as God is kind to the ungrateful and evil, so his children are called to be merciful, embodying his character in a broken world.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Luke 6:12–26. Jesus forms a new kind of community by calling twelve disciples from among his followers, signaling the beginning of a renewed people shaped by his presence and mission. He then redefines what it means to be blessed, declaring the poor, hungry, weeping, and hated as truly flourishing in God’s kingdom. Finally, he delivers sharp warnings to the rich and self-satisfied, exposing how worldly success can blind the heart to eternal need.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Luke 6:1-11. Jesus confronts the Pharisees’ legalism by asserting His lordship over the Sabbath, exposing how their man-made rules miss the heart of God’s law. While the Pharisees are fixated on outward obedience, their hearts are withered—unable to rejoice in mercy, healing, or grace. In contrast, the gospel invites us to a transformed heart shaped by the gospel, where delight in His lordship leads to compassion, humility, and true rest.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks thru Luke 5:27–39. Jesus calls Levi the tax collector with a surprising invitation of grace, not judgment—and Levi responds by hosting a banquet for Jesus, filled with other sinners. At that table, grace becomes visible: it welcomes the unlikely, embraces the outcast, and offers joy instead of shame. When questioned, Jesus explains that He came not for the righteous, but for sinners, and He illustrates this with a parable about new wine in old wineskins—showing that His grace isn’t a patch on old religion, but a whole new way of life.

17 Luke 5:12-26 - Three Stories of Faith by Seven Mile Road Church (Waltham)

In this sermon, pastor Clint works thru Luke 5:1–11. Jesus calls Simon Peter and his companions after a miraculous catch of fish, which came only when they trusted His word despite their doubts. Their willingness to act on Jesus’ instruction—born of a curious, open faith—leads to a revelation of His power and their own unworthiness. This encounter shows that true discipleship begins when we listen to Christ with humble trust and follow even when we don’t yet fully understand.
