Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In Luke 4:31–44, Jesus teaches in Capernaum with astonishing authority, silencing and casting out demons, and healing the sick with just a word. The people are amazed not only at His power over evil but also at the compassion that compels Him to heal all who come to Him. Even when crowds try to keep Him from leaving, Jesus insists on proclaiming the good news to other towns, revealing His mission to bring God’s kingdom to all.

In this sermon Pastor Clint preaches Luke 4:14–30. Here Jesus proclaims Himself as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy, offering grace to the poor and oppressed. The people of Nazareth reject Him, offended that someone so familiar could make such a claim and that God’s grace might extend to outsiders. Their pride and unbelief prevent them from receiving the grace of Christ, leading them to attempt to kill Him.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks thru Luke 4:1–13. Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness and successfully resists the devil’s temptations by relying on God’s Word. Unlike Adam, who fell in paradise, and Israel, who failed in the wilderness, Jesus remains faithful, showing Himself to be the true Son who perfectly obeys the Father. His victory is not just an example, but the foundation of our righteousness—He succeeds where we failed, so that in Him, we stand justified.

In this Easter sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Acts 2:22–39. Peter boldly proclaims that Jesus of Nazareth, attested by God through miracles, was crucified by lawless men according to God's plan, but God raised Him from the dead, freeing Him from the power of death. He declares that the resurrection fulfills David’s prophecy, showing that Jesus is both Lord and Messiah, exalted to God's right hand and pouring out the promised Holy Spirit. Convicted, the crowd asks what to do, and Peter calls them to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins, assuring them that this promise extends to all whom the Lord calls

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Luke 3:23–28. Luke traces Jesus’ genealogy from Adam, showing that Jesus is a Son for All—not just for Israel, but for all humanity. The list of names includes flawed sinners and sufferers, reminding us that we are a broken people in need of redemption. Yet through every generation, God is a promise-keeper, faithfully working out His plan to send Jesus, the Redeemer who brings hope to the whole world.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Luke 3:15–22. As people wonder if John the Baptist might be the Messiah, he clarifies that one greater than him is coming—so great that John is unworthy to untie His sandals. John baptizes with water, but this greater one—Jesus—will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire, bringing both salvation and judgment. When Jesus is baptized, the heavens open, the Holy Spirit descends on Him like a dove, and a voice from heaven affirms His divine Sonship, marking Him as the promised greater one.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks thru Luke 3:1-14. John the Baptist preaches a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, warning that true repentance must bear fruit in righteous actions. He rebukes the crowds for relying on their heritage, urging them to live justly by sharing with the needy, dealing honestly, and avoiding exploitation. His message emphasizes that genuine repentance is not just about words but a transformed life that reflects God's righteousness.

In this sermon on Luke 2:39-52, Pastor Kevin considers the spiritual growth of Jesus. After returning to Nazareth, Jesus grew in wisdom and favor with God and man, showing that His spiritual growth involved deepening understanding and faithful obedience. When He remained in the temple at twelve, engaging with the teachers, He revealed His unique identity as the Son of God, fully devoted to His Father’s will. Yet, by also submitting to His earthly parents, Jesus modeled for us that true spiritual growth means pursuing God’s wisdom while walking in humility and obedience in everyday life.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Luke 2:21-38. In this passage, Mary and Joseph obey the Law of Moses by bringing Jesus to the temple for His presentation and Mary’s purification, demonstrating their faithfulness to God’s commands. Simeon, a righteous and devout man who had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he would see the Messiah before his death, joyfully recognizes Jesus as the fulfillment of God's salvation. Anna, a devoted prophetess who worships God with fasting and prayer day and night, praises Him and speaks about Jesus to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

in this sermon, Pastor Clint walks thru Luke 2:8-20. The angel announces to the shepherds the birth of Jesus, the Savior, bringing "good news of great joy" for all people, and a host of angels praise God, declaring peace on earth. The shepherds respond by immediately seeking out Jesus, finding Him in the manger just as they were told, and then joyfully sharing the news with others. Will we, like the shepherds and Mary, respond to the gospel in faith and worship, pondering the glorious reality of grace in our hearts?
