Sermons by Brent Smith (Page 8)
Moving In | Joshua 15-20
There is meticulous recording as to what families receive what portion of land. Yet, there’s something wonderful to remind ourselves of – God is in the details. He’s at work and it’s a reminder that God is involved and cares about the affairs of life.
How To Treat Others | Matthew 7:1-12
The problem with the human heart is that we tend to think of ourselves as much better than we truly are, overlook sin in our lives, but be drawn to see the sin in others. For us to live the life that Jesus is laying out in the Sermon on the Mount, the Kingdom Way, we need help! If we’re going to live a life that’s growing in righteousness, walking in obedience, then we need to look to the Lord.
Why Worry? | Matthew 6:25-34
Stop worrying about your little kingdom, and start living according to His Kingdom. Put your eternal rewards ahead of anything this world can offer. When you get your perspective straight, you’ll see that the things you’ve been worrying about really are quite small and insignificant in light of Him.
This Land Is God’s Land | Joshua 12-14
God had given the land of Israel to His people and called them to claim the full land. In the same way, Jesus has secured a great victory for us, but we need to be sure that areas of resistance are rooted out of our lives. If we let things remain in us that are footholds of the enemy, they can begin to win back small battles and take ground that should be rightfully Christs.
Where Is Your Treasure? | Matthew 6:16-24
Jesus shows us that we cannot serve both God and money. We like to think we can have a healthy compromise, but one master will always prevail. We all have a choice to make. Who are you serving today?
Teach Us To Pray | Matthew 6:9-15
God is ruling over all from a heavenly perspective. And when we pray we get to approach Him and gain that same heavenly perspective over the things on earth.
Secret Service | Matthew 6:1-8
Nothing you do for the Lord will be done in vain. God sees all, even when it’s done in secret. He sees and He is the One that rewards us.
Be Perfect? | Matthew 5:43-48
We don’t have to feel beat down and offended by threats or hurts against us if we are truly following Jesus and allowing Him to make us new. Be who He has made you to be, perfect and mature – a child of God who resembles your Heavenly Father rather than the god of this age.
Living A Life of Sincerity and Surrender | Matthew 5:33-42
God is not expecting us to be sinlessly perfect, though we should never think there’s a valid reason to succumb to sin. But what God does desire for us to be be moving on into maturity. Allow the Lord to keep perfecting you. This is the mark of the mature believer.
Prophecy Update 2024 | Riverside Calvary Chapel
Pastor Brent, Randy, and guest speaker Kade Hawkins take a look at various news and current events in Israel and around the world and the prophetic significance they carry.
Wise Men Still Seek Him | Matthew 2:1-12
We celebrate Jesus’ willingness to give up the blessing of heaven and come to this world as one of us, but we would be remiss if we just left it there. His coming to this world was always to lead to the cross and our salvation.
A Wise Man In Wonder | Luke 2:25-35
Simeon had a lot to question here. How can a little baby save me!? What good is He going to do? But Simeon sings and proclaims the goodness of God as He takes God at His word. May this Christmas season be an opportunity to see the reality of God’s word coming to life and being true for you. Because everything we see about Christmas has been prepared for you!
