In his sermon, Pastor Rockhill addresses the fundamental duties of faith as taught in Luke 17:1-10. He emphasizes the challenges of living out these responsibilities in a fallen world, where temptations and offenses abound. Jesus warns his disciples about the grave consequences of causing others to stumble and calls them to a higher standard of accountability and love. The call to rebuke those who offend us and to extend forgiveness repeatedly is not merely a suggestion but a duty for all believers. Pastor Rockhill encourages the congregation to understand that the essence of faith does not lie in its size but in the greatness of the God in whom we place our trust. He reminds them that even small acts of faith can yield significant outcomes when rooted in a relationship with Christ. As he closes, Pastor Rockhill urges listeners to embrace their roles as unprofitable servants, recognizing that their efforts, however basic, are empowered by God's grace. This humbling perspective fosters a spirit of gratitude and reliance on God for strength in fulfilling their Christian duties.

The Christian is to look to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate example, who successfully lived the life of faith.

This sermon examines the historical revival under King Hezekiah as a model for contemporary spiritual renewal, emphasizing that true revival begins with the realization of sin and the reestablishment of communion with God. The message highlights the key elements of this gathering, including the compassionate acceptance of unclean worshippers, the adoration of God through joyous worship, and the necessity of confession and protracted devotion. It further explores the tangible fruits of this spiritual awakening, such as the cleansing of idolatry, the restoration of tithing and support for the priesthood, and the resulting prosperity and obedience to God's law. The preacher presents this narrative as a sovereign act of God's mercy, urging the congregation to seek a similar transformative experience that leads to holiness, unity, and a renewed commitment to serving the Lord.

The sermon examines the faith of Joseph as presented in Hebrews 11, focusing on his final instructions regarding the departure of Israel and the transport of his bones to Canaan. It argues that Joseph's faith was demonstrated not by his rise to power but by his trust in God's covenant promises, even when the fulfillment of those promises seemed unlikely given the prosperity of Israel in Egypt. The message emphasizes that Christians are called to endure in faith through all seasons of life, viewing their earthly circumstances as temporary and their true citizenship as belonging to heaven. By looking beyond present evidence to the certainty of God's word, believers are encouraged to finish well, resting in the hope of resurrection and eternal life rather than being bound by the fear of death or the allure of worldly comfort.

Verse by verse exposition through the book of Hebrews. (Sermon also includes the reading and exhortation from the Lord's Table liturgy) Heb 12:25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." 27 Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire. Hag 2:6 "For thus says the Lord of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land...

This sermon explores the spiritual blessings of redemption and forgiveness found in Ephesians 1:7, emphasizing that these gifts are secured solely through the blood of Jesus Christ. The message highlights that all humanity is born into bondage to sin and the influence of Satan, necessitating a divine intervention that no human effort or moral works can achieve. By examining the Old Testament sacrificial system as a shadow of Christ's ultimate atonement, the exposition clarifies that redemption is a completed act where the sin debt is fully paid and the believer is set free. The tone is both convicting regarding the universal need for salvation and comforting in the assurance that God's grace is abundant, inexhaustible, and sufficient for all who place their faith in Christ. Believers are encouraged to live in the present reality of their secured status, recognizing that their forgiveness is final and their identity is rooted in this rich grace.

This sermon examines the call to radical discipleship through the account of Peter's miraculous catch in Luke 5, contrasting the security of worldly provision with the sufficiency of God's grace. It argues that true repentance is often triggered by witnessing God's goodness rather than His wrath, as seen when Peter fell at Jesus' knees after the miracle. The message challenges believers to prioritize the work of God over personal ambitions, financial security, or family responsibilities, illustrating this through the examples of the scribe, the man burying his father, and Elisha burning his plow. By referencing Paul's testimony in Philippians 3, the sermon emphasizes that following Christ requires counting all earthly gains as loss for the excellence of knowing Him. Ultimately, it calls the audience to set their affections on things above, trusting God with their future and laying down their own plans to fully follow Jesus.

The sermon examines the dual nature of Jesus' authority as presented in the Gospel of Mark, focusing on the call of the first disciples and the exorcism in the synagogue. It argues that Jesus' command to 'follow me' establishes him as the supreme loyalty of a believer's life, requiring the renunciation of self-governance and the submission of career, family, and wealth to his lordship. Simultaneously, the encounter with the unclean spirit reveals Jesus' divine power to defeat the kingdom of darkness, demonstrating that his presence is both a source of grace for the willing and a terrifying judgment for the demonic. The central message is that true discipleship involves a personal, living encounter with the incarnate Son of God, who is both the desirable King to be followed and the Holy One whose presence exposes sin and defeats evil.
