This sermon examines the challenging command in Luke 17 for believers to view themselves as unprofitable servants who have merely done their duty. The speaker argues that modern Christianity often overemphasizes human worth and self-achievement, whereas Jesus demands a posture of humility and recognition of total dependence on God. By adopting this mindset, believers protect their attitude toward the Savior, preventing bitterness and entitlement, while also fostering grace toward other servants and appreciation for their specific calling. The message serves as a corrective to the cultural tendency to inventory one's good works, urging instead a heart of gratitude and continuous improvement. Ultimately, this self-defacing humility is presented not as abuse, but as the necessary foundation for a faithful and enduring relationship with God.

The sermon examines the inseparable triad of belief, love, and obedience presented in 1 John 5:1-5 as the definitive markers of a genuine Christian life. It argues that true faith is not the cause of salvation but the consequence of being begotten by God, emphasizing that the new birth precedes the capacity to believe. The message insists that authentic agape love for fellow believers is a natural outflow of this new nature, serving as a social test that distinguishes the saved from the unsaved. Furthermore, love is demonstrated through moral obedience to God's commandments, which are described as not grievous but as the evidence of a transformed heart. The sermon concludes by asserting that victory over the world is achieved through this unified testimony of faith, love, and obedience, challenging listeners to examine their own lives against these biblical standards.

Sermon | Isaiah 35:1-6 | Sunday Morning Service, September 20, 2026. Guest Preacher: Kevin Swanson The sermon centers on the command to "behold your God" as the primary antidote to spiritual weakness and distraction in a chaotic world. It argues that the church's current frailty stems from a weak conception of God and a failure to focus on His sovereignty, power, and glory rather than on human effort or external diversions. By examining examples of God's creative wisdom in nature and His redemptive acts in Scripture, the message emphasizes that salvation is entirely a supernatural work of God who comes to save those who cannot save themselves. Kevin calls believers to trust in Jesus' authority and power to perform miracles in their lives, urging them to expect and experience the transformative strength of the Gospel. This exhortation aims to restore a sense of awe, holy expectation, and robust faith in the presence of the Almighty.

This sermon examines the life of Esau as a cautionary example of prioritizing immediate physical satisfaction over eternal spiritual value. It highlights how Esau's secular mindset led him to disregard divine commands, such as marrying outside the covenant, and ultimately to sell his birthright for a temporary meal. The message distinguishes between regret, which mourns the consequences of sin, and true repentance, which turns from the sinful conduct itself. By referencing Hebrews 12:16-17, the text warns that a profane heart finds no place of repentance, urging believers to make decisions today that secure their future relationship with God rather than seeking fleeting worldly pleasures.
