A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Romans 3 is critical and transformational teaching about the work of Christ. We are in a section in which Paul profoundly proclaims what Jesus did that changed everything for us. Our theme for this year is Jesus Is: Pictures of Our Atonement. At the same time we have been looking at the book of Romans […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are starting this series that I am calling Becoming Peter. Now the point of this series is not that you would become like Peter, though that is a worthy goal. The apostle Paul proclaimed to the Philippians to imitate him in Philippians 3:17. We would certainly do well to imitate the apostle Peter and […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. What was the whole point of the Hebrew Scriptures? Why the Old Testament? Why have the patriarchs? Why have Israel? Why have the promises? What was the value? What was the point? Have you ever wondered these things? Why not just start in the Gospel of Matthew and go from there? This is where Romans […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are spending this month looking at James’ teachings on how to have authentic faith especially during trying times. James 1 tells us that God is using trials to make us mature and complete so that we lack nothing. Therefore, we must let steadfastness have its full effect. Further, James tells us that we need […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are starting a short series for our Sunday evenings in January called Authentic. The purpose of this series is to see how the scriptures picture how we can have a real faith and be real disciples. Now if you think about books in God’s word that give pictures of what faith looks like, James […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Up to this point we have been reading about various prophecies of hope in what is often called “the book of consolation” in Jeremiah 30-33. But as we come to Jeremiah 33 God will do something different with Jeremiah. Rather than giving another prophetic message, God is going to have Jeremiah act out this particular […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We have been looking at the book of consolation which is contained in Jeremiah 30-33 in which God is proclaiming to the people the future hope that will come when Christ comes. You can see throughout this section of Jeremiah that repeated promise that “the days are coming.” Messianic hope still exists for God’s people. […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. How do you know if you belong to God or not? How do you know if you are in a relationship with the Lord? One of Paul’s purposes in the book of Romans is to teach the answer to these questions. Since the wrath of God has been revealed from heaven and the gospel is […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are looking at a section in Jeremiah’s prophecy where God is proclaiming his message of hope and encouragement to his people. Though they will go into exile because of their sins, their future hope lies in the coming of the Christ. Sin is an incurable wound. There is nothing we can do and nothing […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. God’s Universal Truth (Romans 2:6) This paragraph begins with a jarring truth declaration: God will repay each person according to their works (Romans 2:6). This is a repeated declaration that is made throughout the scriptures. The psalmist states that this is true. Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to […]
