This is what we preach
- Act 2:1-21
What Does Pentecost Mean for Us Today?
- Act 2:1-21
On Pentecost we see the faithfulness of God on full display: the God who keeps every promise, the Savior who brings salvation to all, and the Spirit who still works through the Word today. In this sermon we look at how the first Pentecost was not simply a moment of fire and languages, but the beginning of God gathering a harvest from every place and every story — and how that same Spirit now fills Christ’s Church, equips His people with different gifts, and continues to create and sustain faith through the living and enduring Word of God.
- Acts 1:12-26
What are we to do while waiting for the Ascended Lord to return?
- Acts 1:12-26
In this sermon from Acts 1:12-26, we look at those ten quiet days between Christ’s ascension and Pentecost and discover how the early believers lived in that in‑between time—a time much like our own. As they waited, the Word gathered them, prayer united them, God healed the wound the devil had struck, and their restored fellowship prepared them to bear witness to the risen Lord. Their example shows us how Christ keeps His Church steady and faithful even as we wait nearly two thousand years for His return: by anchoring us in Scripture, shaping our hearts in prayer, mending what sin has broken, and working through ordinary Christians to proclaim the extraordinary news of His resurrection.
- John 14:15-21
How Does Jesus Respond to Our Fear of Abandonment?
- John 14:15-21
In this sermon we face the fear that sits beneath so many of our worries—the fear of being left alone—and hear Christ answer it with promise after promise. Jesus assures us that He has not left us as orphans: He is present with us, He sends His Spirit to guide and strengthen us, He unites us to Himself and to the Father, He destroys the power of death with His resurrection life, and He anchors us in His abiding Word. In every season, every weakness, and every anxious moment, the Savior who died and rose for us remains with His people.
- Acts 17:1-12
How Do We Show That We Are Built on Christ and Serve in His Temple?
- Acts 17:1-12
In this sermon from Acts 17:1-12, we follow Paul, Silas, the Thessalonians, and the Bereans to see what it truly means to be built on Christ the Cornerstone and to serve in His temple. We watch the Word soften some hearts and harden others, learn from those who rejected the Scriptures, and see how believers support one another as priests in God’s house. Most of all, we are shown the noble‑minded, royal heart that eagerly receives and examines God’s Word—anchoring faith in Christ alone.
- Acts 6:1-9, 7:2a, 51-60
How Can the Good Shepherd Let His Sheep Suffer and Be Slaughtered?
- Acts 6:1-9, 7:2a, 51-60
In this sermon we explore the hard question: How can the Good Shepherd allow His sheep to suffer and even be slaughtered? Looking at the story of Stephen—the first Christian martyr—we see how Christ teaches His flock to prioritize His Word, raises up the vulnerable to serve the venerable, leads His people through death into new life, and uses their faithful witness to both soften and harden hearts. Stephen’s peaceful confidence, even as he was violently killed, shows the Shepherd who stands to receive His sheep and calls them home to heavenly pastures where no wolf follows.
