Calvary Hill Baptist Church (11am) / Pinkston (5pm)

Scripture teaches that Christians are "citizens of heaven." Is that compatible with being citizens of the United States of America, or any earthly polity? In this sermon, Daniel Houck introduces a new series on civic engagement for Christians, showing that Christians may be "dual citizens" of the kingdom of heaven and their countries on Earth. As Christians, we are called to be God's ambassadors from the kingdom of heaven: representing his interests as salt and light in our communities, countries, and world.

This Easter sermon focuses on the renewal God brought to the world through Jesus Christ. Contrary to popular online memes, the roots of Easter are not pagan, but Christian. God brings renewal to Jesus, to us, and through us, the world. The natural symbolism of new life in springtime is fulfilled in Jesus.

We often think of the past significance of the Lord's Supper, how it points us to the cross. While that is central to the meaning of communion, in this sermon, Daniel Houck shows how biblically, the Lord's Supper points us further back, to the Passover, as well as to the present power of God and the future return of Christ. We need to grasp the past, present, and future meaning of this feast to fully appreciate it.

In this first sermon in the series Reconsider Communion, Daniel Houck introduces the ordinance or sacrament of communion, aka the Lord's Supper or the Eucharist. Though it is unfortunately often neglected in evangelical churches, Jesus gave his church this practice to strengthen our faith through a renewal of the new covenant. We are not free to do communion without following the tradition he handed on. At the same time, there are many right ways to do communion, because Jesus left the details of the administration of communion to the discretion of his church.

In this final sermon on Philippians, Daniel Houck discusses Paul's command to avoid anxiety. Through choosing to look for God's movement in our lives, and transforming our worries into prayers, the Holy Spirit can free us from the fears and anxieties that threaten to cripple us.

Paul exhorts the Philippians to avoid selfish ambition and pursue the path of humility. Why? Because that was the path that Jesus Christ himself, the eternal Son of God, took, for our salvation. That path ends in his exaltation.

Although his imprisonment seems like something that would slow the gospel down, Paul shows the Philippians that it actually serves to advance the gospel. He rejoices because whether the Romans execute him or not, he will either be with Christ for eternity or advance Christ's gospel here and now. In fact, that is the purpose of Paul's time on Earth: advancing the gospel.

Scripture gives us a vision of what a generous church community looks like in Acts 4:32–5:11. The "fellowship" (koinonia) of the early church was not limited to sharing spiritual goods, but extended to sharing material goods to meet the needs of the community.

Should we expect some benefit to ourselves from our generosity to others, or should we give for purely selfless reasons? This sermon focuses on Jesus' teaching on heavenly treasure, showing that although we give ultimately for God's glory, by his grace, our giving comes with great joy.
