Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at In Luke 2:1-7. Here we see God’s providence displayed as He orchestrates a Roman decree to bring Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, fulfilling the prophecy that the Messiah would be born in David’s city. Though Christ is the long-awaited King, His birth is marked by profound humility, as He enters the world not in a palace but in a lowly manger. This contrast highlights God’s sovereign plan, exalting the lowly and using the ordinary to accomplish His redemptive purposes.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks thru Luke 1:57-80. This passage highlights God’s mercy in preparing the way for Christ through the birth of John the Baptist. Zechariah, once mute for his unbelief, regains his speech and praises God for His faithfulness in sending a Savior who will redeem His people and shine light into the darkness. This passage reminds us that God’s mercy is not just a distant promise but a present reality—He meets us in our doubt, leads us to repentance, and calls us to prepare our hearts for Christ’s rule in our lives.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks through Luke 1:39-56. Mary travels to visit her relative Elizabeth, who, filled with the Holy Spirit, confirms the miraculous nature of Mary's pregnancy and calls her blessed. In response, Mary magnifies the Lord with a song of praise, declaring His faithfulness, mercy, and power in exalting the humble. Despite the uncertainties of her situation, Mary’s unwavering trust in God’s promises shines through her joyful submission to His will.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Luke 1:26-38. Here, the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will conceive and bear the Son of God, a message that initially prompts her reasonable question, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?" As Gabriel explains God’s plan and the power of the Holy Spirit, Mary gradually moves from questioning to trusting, accepting the incredible promise. Ultimately, her humble and submissive response, “I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word,” serves as a model of faith, showing us how to trust God’s purposes even when they surpass our understanding.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Luke 1:5-25. The angel Gabriel appears to Zechariah, a righteous but childless priest, to announce that he and his wife Elizabeth will miraculously have a son, John, who will prepare the way for the Lord. Despite their long years of waiting and Zechariah's initial disbelief, God's promise of joy and redemption is fulfilled in His perfect timing. The passage showcases God’s faithfulness to His people and His plan to bring hope and restoration even in seemingly hopeless situations.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Luke 1:1-4. This passage reveals Luke's careful effort to compile an accurate account of Jesus' life, drawing from eyewitness testimony to give readers confidence in the gospel. By addressing Theophilus, who may have struggled with questions or doubts, Luke reminds us that faith is built on a trustworthy foundation. This passage acknowledges our human struggles with doubt while pointing to the reliability of the gospel as a source of certainty and hope.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin works thru Galatians 4:4-7. Paul helps us marvel at the Trinitarian gospel. First, we are invited to rest in the Father’s plan, trusting that His perfect timing and sovereign purposes brought about the sending of His Son to redeem us. Second, we are called to receive the Son’s accomplishment, embracing the freedom and adoption as children of God that Jesus secured through His life, death, and resurrection. Finally, we are urged to rejoice in the Spirit’s application of the Gospel, as the Spirit dwells within us, assuring us of our adoption and giving us the intimate cry of “Abba, Father.” At the start of a new year, this glorious truth grounds our identity and equips us to live with confidence, joy, and hope as heirs of God’s eternal kingdom.

This sermon is from our Annual Prayer Sunday. Here, Pastor Clint looks at Mark 10, Galatians 4, and other texts that show us the "Who?", "How?", and "Why?" of prayer. Christ calls us to live lives marked by prayerful dependence upon him, as a needy child depends upon their Father.

In the final sermon of our Advent series, Pastor Kevin walks us through Malachi 4:1-6. This passage speaks of the Second Advent of Christ - a coming day of judgment, when the arrogant and wicked will be consumed like stubble, but the righteous will experience healing and renewal under the "sun of righteousness." Christ fulfills the promise of righteousness and healing through His life, death, and resurrection, bringing salvation to those who fear God's name. Furthermore, the reference to Elijah's coming finds fulfillment in John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ, calling people to repentance before the great and final day of the Lord.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Malachi 3:1-6. God, unchanging in His mercy, calls His people to return to Him by ceasing to rob Him through withheld tithes, promising abundant blessings for their obedience. He distinguishes between the wicked, who dismiss Him, and the righteous, who revere His name, marking them as His treasured possession. This points to Christ, who perfectly restores us to God, enabling true reverence and faithful worship through His ultimate sacrifice.
