What are spiritual gifts, and how are they different from natural talents? In 1 Corinthians 12:8–11, Paul reveals the variety of gifts the Holy Spirit gives to Christ's church—abilities empowered by God to serve others and advance His kingdom. In this sermon, Pastor Robb Brunansky continues examining the gifts of the Spirit, focusing on faith, healings, and the workings of miracles. He considers what the gift of faith means, whether the gifts of healing and miracles continue today, and how Christians should understand God's miraculous work. While the apostolic sign gifts served a unique purpose in authenticating God's messengers and their message, Christians still worship a sovereign, miracle-working God who hears prayer, accomplishes His purposes, and works powerfully through His people.

***Technical Difficulty: Video Cuts in and out but Audio is consistant*** The sermon explores how God relates to His people through the framework of covenant rather than merely as Creator. Using Genesis 17, it outlines three key elements of God's promise to Abraham: a people, a seed identified as Christ, and a land. The text emphasizes that circumcision serves as the sign of this everlasting agreement, paralleling baptism in the New Covenant. It argues that believers must actively embrace these covenant terms through faith and obedience, just as Abraham did. Ultimately, the message challenges listeners to recognize their status as heirs of God's eternal promises through Jesus Christ.

This sermon examines the miracle of Jesus raising the widow's son in Nain to reveal His compassionate nature and divine authority. The preacher emphasizes that Christ sees human sorrow intimately and possesses the power to overcome death through His word, not merely as a prophet but as the Son of God. While the crowd recognized a great prophet, the text calls believers to see Jesus as the Savior who conquers eternal death. The message encourages the congregation to rest in Christ's empathy during trials and to fix their faith on His resurrection power rather than temporary signs. Ultimately, the sermon urges listeners to acknowledge Jesus' true identity and find hope in the promise of their own future resurrection.

This sermon focuses on Ezekiel 24, detailing how ancient Israel's persistent rebellion and idolatry brought about God's inescapable judgment through the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. The very day King Nebuchadnezzar's army arrived outside the walls of Jerusalem, Ezekiel was informed by Yahweh and the prophet announced the alarming news to the exiles in Babylon. The text is broken down into three major themes: the historic arrival of the day of judgment, the parable of the corroded cooking pot—symbolizing a corrupt city whose deep-seated sin could not be cleansed—and the death of Ezekiel's wife, serving as a silent prophetic sign of the sudden loss of Jerusalem and its beloved temple. Throughout the message, the author connects Israel's spiritual failure to humanity's need for redemption, contrasting the destructive consequences of sin with God's ultimate grace fulfilled through Jesus Christ, who enables true and intimate knowledge of God.

As Jesus leaves the temple and sits with His disciples on the Mount of Olives, they ask Him about the destruction He has just predicted, His coming, and the end of the age. His answer begins with a warning: "See that no one leads you astray." In Matthew 24:3–8, Jesus describes false messiahs, wars and rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes. Yet rather than telling His disciples to panic at every crisis, He tells them not to be alarmed. These things must take place, but "the end is not yet." They are only the beginning of birth pains. In this sermon, Pastor Todd Fletcher examines Jesus' opening words in the Olivet Discourse and considers how we should understand the events leading up to Christ's return. Jesus does not give these signs so that His people will speculate about every headline, but so that they will remain discerning, steadfast, and confident in the sovereign purposes of God.

What did Jesus mean by the "signs" in Matthew 24? In Matthew 24:1-14, Jesus warns His disciples about deception, wars and rumors of wars, persecution, false prophets, lawlessness, and the spread of the Gospel before the end comes. Pastor Casey Lewis continues through the Olivet Discourse by examining Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the Jerusalem temple, fulfilled in AD 70, and the disciples' question about Christ's coming and the end of the age. From an amillennial perspective, this message considers how Matthew 24 describes both events experienced by the first-century disciples and a broader pattern that continues throughout the present age until the return of Christ. Christians are called not to panic over every war, disaster, or headline, but to remain alert, resist deception, endure persecution, guard their love for the Lord, and faithfully proclaim the Gospel. This sermon also considers the perseverance of believers and Jesus' promise that the Gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world before the end comes.

The sermon examines the biblical account of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8 to distinguish between genuine saving faith and various counterfeit professions. By analyzing Simon's motivations, the preacher highlights three clues that his belief was not salvific: a continued focus on miraculous signs rather than Christ, the attempt to purchase spiritual power with money, and a self-preserving reaction to judgment instead of true repentance. The message contrasts this false profession with the true faith demonstrated by the Ethiopian eunuch and emphasizes that salvation is received solely through grace, not earned by works or religious rituals. It warns listeners against dead, deceiving, or demonic professions of faith that acknowledge theological facts without yielding to the lordship of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to examine their hearts, ensuring their trust is placed in Christ alone for forgiveness and eternal life.

The sermon focuses on the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20, defining what a disciple is and explaining how disciples are made, with a strong emphasis on the role of the local church. The main points are: • Jesus Possesses All Authority: The command to make disciples is grounded in Jesus' declaration that "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth." This authority is absolute, granted by the Father, and rooted in His divine nature. While not yet fully recognized by the world, it is the real and ultimate authority under which the church operates. • The Central Command is to Make Disciples: The sermon corrects a common misinterpretation, emphasizing that the primary verb is not "go," but "make disciples." The command is better understood as, "As you are going, make disciples," meaning disciple-making is a continuous purpose to be carried out wherever a believer is. • The Nature of a Disciple: A disciple is defined as a person saved by God's grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. This involves recognizing one's sinfulness and trusting in Christ's finished work. Disciples are not perfect but are characterized by a wholehearted commitment to following Jesus' commands, which are based on God's moral law. They are sensitive to their sin and actively seek repentance and growth. • The Method of Disciple-Making: The primary method for making disciples is the preaching of the Gospel. This leads to the formation of churches, which are the visible expression of God's kingdom on earth. • The Role of Baptism and the Church: Baptism is presented as the authoritative sign of the New Covenant and a crucial part of making disciples.
