1 John Isaiah Sermons 

Morning Worship Service (March 28, 2021, Palm Sunday)

John calls all unbelievers “antichrists” because they all deny the full humanity and full divinity of Jesus. They either believe that Jesus is only God or only man, not both. John’s doctrine of Christ also means that all the world’s religions—including liberal churches—and all the world’s cults, are antichrists.

Ephesians Isaiah Sermons 

Holy War (But Not THAT Holy War)

We are in the midst of a holy war, but not a physical war against our enemies. Our war is of the spiritual kind against the devil and his fallen angels and against those who hate our God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Be strong in the Lord, stand firm, and pray without ceasing. And God will complete our victory at the end of this age.

Isaiah Matthew Sermons 

Which Soil are You?

Four kinds of soil: Deaf and Dead; Shallow and Skin-Deep; Depraved and Decadent; Fertile and Fruitful. The good soil will bear fruit in an honest and good heart, but it will be a struggle so that they have to be steadfast in what they have heard. But with patience through the choking thorns of our earthly life, God has promised that we will surely bear fruit.

Christmas Isaiah Matthew Revelation Sermons 

“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”

  Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-23; Revelation 21:1-4 December 2, 2018 • Download this sermon (PDF) Dear Congregation of Christ: Today, the first Sunday of Advent 2018, we will begin a series of studies on the Scriptural basis for four of the most beautiful Christmas songs churches sing. Most Christmas songs that are popularly sung in churches are narratives like “Once in Royal David’s City,” sentimental like “Silent Night,” and childish folksiness like “Away in a Manger.” But with “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” there is hardly any narrative, and no…

Resurrection Morning: “He Interpreted to Them in All the Scriptures the Things Concerning Himself”

  Readings: Psalm 118:22; Isaiah 53:10-12; Luke 24:25-27, 44-47 (text) April 1, 2018 • Download this sermon (PDF) Beloved Congregation: In our text, Jesus is not like the typical street preacher who stands in a street corner with a sign saying, “Repent, for Jesus is Coming with a Vengeance!” Rather, he came alongside two disciples and walked with them for seven miles along a hot and dusty desert road. While he walked with them on the road to Emmaus for two to three hours, Jesus patiently explained God’s eternal salvation…

Christians, Prepare to be Persecuted!

  Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 53:1-12; Matthew 5:10-12 (text) March 11, 2018 • Download this sermon (PDF) Beloved Congregation of Christ: Are Christians and Christian churches really being persecuted in our nation? Most non-Christians say that we Christians have it good in America. We still meet in churches every Lord’s Day without fear of violence. We can still proclaim the Christian gospel. We can tell anyone, anywhere that we are Christians. Those who are from other religions can convert to Christianity legally. Most of our leaders call themselves Christians, even if…
