Sermons by Brent Smith
The Final Word | Hebrews 1:1-4 | Brent Smith
Hebrews 1:1–4 teaches that God has spoken to humanity ultimately and completely through His Son, Jesus Christ, who is superior to the prophets and angels.
A Life Well Lived | 2 Timothy 4:6-22 | Brent Smith
Paul reveals to Timothy that his life is coming to an end, yet Paul shows how he is at peace. He’s confident he’s lived faithfully and has completed what God has for him. This passage sets a great example for Timothy and the church of how to live a life that counts.
Consequences of Sin | 2 Samuel 12-13 | Brent Smith
These chapters depict the aftermath of David’s grievous sin with Bathsheba, highlighting the prophetic confrontation by Nathan, the judgment pronounced, and the unfolding tragedy within David’s household as a result of his actions.
The Rest Of The Story | Romans 3:21-26 | Brent Smith
If you were to start someone out reading the book of Romans who didn’t know anything about Christianity, you’d be fortunate if they got past Chapter 2. Because what Paul does in the book of Romans is start with this black backdrop of humanity to reveal our utter depravity and sinfulness. It’s a lot to take in and can be quite depressing. And many may just give up in hopelessness before they get to the rest of the story.
Characteristics of the Last Days | 2 Timothy 3:1-9 | Brent Smith
In our passage we see a clear depiction of the progressing character of the ungodly in the last days. Paul points out that many will profess to follow God but will clearly deny Him by their character. We who are desiring godliness must mark and avoid such people.
The Vessels God Uses | 2 Timothy 2:20-26 | Brent Smith
Paul reminds Timothy that within the house of God there will exist servants that will serve in honor, and some in dishonor. The charge is to purify ourselves from that which is fleshly and pursue that which is spiritual. Then we’ll be vessels of honor.
Strength To Endure | 2 Timothy 2:1-13 | Brent Smith
Paul encourages Timothy to continue with perseverance regardless of the challenges that may lay in front of him. Endurance is necessary but the outcome is glorious. It’s a word for us to be strong, sustained, secure and steadfast in the things of God and the things we do for God.
Unashamed | 2 Timothy 1:8-18 | Brent Smith
This passage emphasizes the call to endure suffering for the gospel and to bear witness to the truth of Christ, encouraging believers to remain steadfast and unashamed of their faith.
Flee, Fight and Finish Well | 1 Timothy 6:11-21 | Brent Smith
This passage calls us to live as people of God – fleeing what destroys, pursuing what reflects Christ, enduring in the fight of faith, and investing our lives in what will last forever.
The Pursuit That Pays | 1 Timothy 6:1-10 | Brent Smith
In this passage, Paul warns Timothy about the dangers of greed and the pursuit of wealth, contrasting it with the virtues of godliness and contentment. He emphasizes the importance of using wealth rightly and encourages believers to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and gentleness.
Support & Scrutiny: A Balanced Church | 1 Timothy 5:17-25 | Brent Smith
In this passage we see the instruction for church elders/pastors to be counted worthy of financial support but they are also to be held accountable for how they live. If they are in error and sin, they must be confronted and dealt with like anyone else.
Relationships and Responsibilities | 1 Timothy 5:1-16 | Brent Smith
Timothy is called to take care of those in the church and to do so in a caring way. He’s given instructions on how to care for people and who specifically to care for.
